Sonic and Sega All Stars Racing review

Hello,

Today we have a review for Sega fans, It’s Sega and Sumo Digital’s Sonic and Sega All-Stars Racing.

The game as many say is a Mario Kart clone, and when this was announced people were worried, since many sonic fans says If Sonic is in a car, then it fails.

But this game didn’t, so let’s do the review.

Gameplay:

The gameplay is kinda like Mario Kart, who gets first wins, and there are items to distract the enemies.

This Racing car gameplay is really fun, it’s been an improvement since Sega tried to do a good game which ended up being the underrated Sonic Riders.

There are three types of vehicles: Car, Bike and Hovercraft.

There also different types of items (for example a item that gives a speed boost to the character), whoever, unlike Mario Kart, the items have this rock-paper-scissors effect kinda like the mega man series, since some weapons can defend the racer from others.

They also have All-Star power, where they unleash their ultimate attack, for example: Sonic’s All Star power involves him becoming into Super Sonic and attack his enemies, while, Ryo involves him getting to a bulldozer and smash his enemies.

Modes:

There are loads of game modes in this game, they are:

King of the Hill, Free Race(and Single Race, which is only for one player), Missions, Time Trials, Capture the Chao, Collect the emeralds, King of The Hill and Knock out

Missions are kinda like the Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games missions, Capture the Chao, You capture the sonic characters: The Chaos.

Collect the Emeralds is kinda like Capture the Chao, but the players enter the arena to collect emeralds instead.

King of the Hill is like those racing battle games such as Twisted Metal and Mario kart’s battle mode.

While, Knock out is a mix between King of the Hill and Free Race

Graphics:

The Graphics are ok, they aren’t the best, neither the worst for this game, but the level design is very good, it has a lot of details and colour, the cars design, I liked it, each one matched with the character, while, they did an upgrade on Alex Kidd’s design, he looks more realistic, he now has Blue eyes and the ears become pointy, but, the Bonanza Bros. still look like medicine pills, but, still we like them.

Third Party Characters:

The Wii version got the Miis(what a big surprise ¬ ¬).

The PS3 and PC versions got nothing, but PC fans can get the game via steam.

While, the Xbox 360 version has Avatars and………Banjo and Kazooie?

Wait a minute, ain’t this Sonic and Sega all-stars Racing?

Then what is Banjo and Kazooie doing here?

If they are in this game, why did the Wii version only got miis?

Overall Rating:
9.5/10,

I really liked Sega all stars racing and I really hope that Sumo Digital makes other good Sega titles.

And I took one point off because of the iOS version.

But the rest is awesome
