Video Game Reviews of Sonic Sega All Stars Racing
Customer Review: Sonic Vs. Mario Kart
Summary: 5 Stars
I wanted to play with this game a full solid week so that I could give a solid review. I could not wait for this game to come out. I am a big Mario Kart fan and have been looking for a game just as good as Mario Kart. I've purchased some other racing games like Speed Racer, Excitebots and Sims Racing. All these games are pretty good but they do not compete with my favorite Mario Kart. That is until now with Sonic & Sega All Star Racing. The similarites to Mario Kart are pretty much the same. You have your Grand Prix Racing that you have to come in top 3 to move on to the next level. You also have your Time Trial Racers. The most fun I have is playing live on Wi Fi with other people. You have different courses like Mario Kart but the racing syle is different. In Sonic it is all about the drift. When you curve around a corner you have to drift. In doing this you get a turbo boost that moves you ahead. You also pick up weapons to use against your opponents like Mario. When you are towards the back of the race you may also get an All Star move, sort of like the Rocket in Mario to move you ahead. So the similarties are really close when it comes to Sonic Vs. Mario. The only difference is learning how to race in a different way than Mario. Also when you are in the air you can flip your vehicle up to 3 x's and this will also give you a Turbo Boost when you land.
Now, what I don't like about this game is that you can't destroy your fellow racers like you can on Mario. You really can't crash into them and knock them off the road. You can use your weapons but that is about it. Mario is more fun when you get your opponents and speed ahead of them. Another thing that they did wrong was when playing the Grand Prix games you cannot quit or leave in the middle of a 4 course game. After each game there is not option to quit. So if you lose your first game and want to restart you are going to have to reboot your wii. Another thing that I don't like about the game is that you play Live you enter a lobby. The first person in the room is in charge of what games you are going to play and you have no say in the matter. You can leave the lobby and come back in but that is a hassle. Also there doesn't seem to be that many people playing live yet. Probably because the game is still new. The last problem I had with the game are alot of error readings when playing live. It seems like I have to wait a long time to get in a game and then sometimes not often I get an error message saying I have been disconnected. I think that it has something to do with that other people have left the race.
All in all I would have to say that this has become one of my favorite games. Is it as good as Mario? No Is it pretty close to Mario? Yes. I have been playing this game every night this week just as much as I do mario and even find it to be a little less frustrating than Mario at times. All in all a must have for any Mario Kart fan.
Description of Sonic Sega All Stars Racing
In a frantic battle to the checkered flag, Sonic and friends speed around tracks set in medieval castle ramparts, lush rainforests and bustling cities, all taken from the visually rich and varied universes of Sonic and SEGA. Fan favorites such as Dr. Eggman, Tails, AiAi, Amigo and many more will join Sonic in their custom built vehicles, revving their engines and jostling to stay ahead of the pack. Each character will speed around the track in cars, planes, motorbikes, and in Aiai?s case ? a banana mobile! Secret short cuts, swift handling and avoiding strategically placed obstacles are certainly the best way to get to the top of the podium.Racing & Flying Games
