Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing (Review)
Considering kart racers are supposed to be a heavily populated genre, it’s surprising that there aren’t really any on the PS3 and Xbox 360. There’s a few film spin-offs like Pixar’s Cars and PSN titles like Gripshift and Smash Cars but it’s almost like nobody’s got the guts to take on Nintendo and Mario Kart.
No longer though. Sonic’s star may have fallen in all manner of horrific ways over the years, with him even having to hop into bed with the porky plumber to pay the bills, but make no mistake Sonic and pals are back in contention with this top racing title.
Offline options include single races and six four-race Grand Prix tournaments which won’t take you long to burn through. Most of your time will be spent trying to get a AAA ranking (a nod to Sega’s classic Out Run series) on the 64 Missions. These include the gradually more difficult (but at a steady curve) list of races, drift challenges, avoiding pots, hitting pots, running creatures over with a giant egg and so on. It’s typical, crazy, Sega-flavoured madness that works great on your own or as pass-the-pad party minigames. Time Attack mode is also available for all the tracks where you compete against Staff Ghosts and leaderboard toppers.
