Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing

lonely_ogre's Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing with Banjo-Kazooie (Xbox 360) review

Reliving the glory of Oldschool Mario Kart days

So, I picked up this game expecting to play a cheesier version of Mario Kart, but was pleasantly surprised by the amount of fun I experienced playing. Is it somewhat of a rip off? Yes. Is it worse than the newer Mario Kart games? No.  
 Being a huge fan of the originals, (meaning the SNES and N64 versions) I was extremely disappointed by the lack of quality and energy in both Mario Kart Double Dash and Mario Kart Wii. Something felt...missing from both of those games. Sega All Stars Racers had both imagination and desire to give the players a fresh experience. From the control to the level design, this game had me smiling the whole time I played. Granted, it's not perfect, and there are some irritating incidents, but overall Sega has delivered a strong, fun, racing game that gives Mario Kart a run for its money.

   It’s about time someone made a sequel to Sonic drift!Who doesn’t like kart racing? Lots of studios have used them to show off their mascots over the years: Bomberman, Mega Man, Sims, even Mortal Kombat. This type of game tends to score quite a few more misses than hits as the various studios attempt to dethrone Nintendo’s esteemed Mario Kart franchise. As kart racers go, Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing has a lot going for it, over twenty SEGA characters racing across twenty four tracks, you...
