![]() The mysterious (and stylish) tanuki Dodon Pa, head of the galactically-renowned Dodon Pa Motors, wishes to host a series of racing events, and Sonic and friends are to be the stars. It also features a fully voice-acted story with a focus on the core Sonic cast, and the writing and voice performances are fairly decent by Sonic standards, which should please hardcore fans.īelieve it or not, Team Sonic Racing comes packaged with a fully voice-acted story, told through dialogue bubbles between races in the Team Adventure campaign mode. So when Team Sonic Racing was announced, my first question was, ‘how will they top Transformed?’ĭear reader, it is my duty to inform you that while Team Sonic Racing does not top Transformed in terms of track selection, represented franchises, or the polish of its physics and challenges, it does introduce a lot of interesting and unique ideas to the kart racing sub-genre and delivers a thrilling set of challenges and often-refreshing mechanics that make for synergistic co-op play. While that title was a modest success, its acclaimed sequel, Sonic and Sega All-Stars Racing Transformed, surprised me in every single way as a masterful entry into the kart racing genre, standing toe-to-toe with the best Mario Kart titles and surpassing them all in terms of quality single-player content. But beginning with Sonic and Sega All-Stars Racing, SEGA and developer Sumo Digital began to up their game. ![]() From the days of hit-and-miss titles like Sonic Drift 1 & 2, Sonic R, and the Sonic Riders games, Sonic has been following in rival Mario’s footsteps, both on and off the racetrack. What I got instead was a claustrophobic racer with poor track design and limited options. I was filled with anticipation, expecting something comparable to Super Mario Kart in terms of quality. I’ll never forget the day I booted up Sonic Drift on my Game Gear.
