Reminds me of the classic Mario Kart
This has been a pretty amazing game for me because it reminds me of my childhood playing Mario kart. But, I will say that for those who are not familiar with Mario kart then it may get a little repetitive. It does have a few features added in that are new and different, but I like the repetitive racing better than some of the different challenges that they have available. I don't like that you have to complete some of those challenges in order to unlock certain characters, but it's all part of the game. Overall I give it 4 stars and my husband and I enjoy playing it.

A good sonic racing game
Base on my experience first impression were very good as my experience were in the middle, I was blown away by the great graphics, the unique team mechanic gameplay, and the story while basic still is very fun to play. As I also appreciate This game is it's own thing, the controls did get hard to get use to at fiest, however overtime it gets better and better through the enjoyable experience. Overall this game past my expectations as I had so much fun with the game as a whole, for those who enjoy racing games this is your time and worth the price to play with friends.

An Excellent Mario Kart Alternative
Team Sonic Racing is one of those rare Mario Kart clones that is exiting enough in its own right to be fun, addictive and worth playing. The game consists of 15 racers, 21 tracks, an Adventure Mode and classic modes like Grand Prix, Time Trial and Exhibition. Some levels are returning from previous Sonic racers, but most are new and fresh. The main draw here is with its exclusive 3-person team system, which forces you to work together with AI teammates to share items, gain boosts and bounce off each other to gain the upper hand in a race. By performing enough of these coop moves, your team will eventually earn a significant speed boost, which could drastically change the outcome of a race if used at the right times. The main mode, ‘Adventure’, places you in a bit-sized map with a Mario-style level structure, where each stage represents a new race. Each level gives players the opportunity to earn up to 3 stars (bronze, silver and gold), which should give the game some replay value in the long run. Each track is designed with upmost care, boasting an enormous amount of color and vibrant texture work that gives you that feeling of quality, with tight controls and a good sense of speed. The game isn't without its fair share of problems, though. First of all, many stages are locked behind Adventure mode progress, so don't expect to fire up the game and choose whatever stage and character you want right away, because you can't. The next issue worth mentioning is in regards to the tone of the game. For years, Sonic games have been catering to little kids, and the series never matured enough to remove the utter cringe from its voice acting and soundtrack, and this game is no different. Luckily, most of the music is well orchestrated and catchy, but the voice acting and a couple songs that contain lyrics can be pretty awful, so expect to be tempted to skip the 'cut-scenes' that occur between Adventure levels and plug your ears when necessary. Overall, I would recommend Team Sonic Racing as a worthy Mario Kart alternative. The power-ups aren't too exciting and the voice acting is pretty bad, but the gameplay, level design and fun factor are all high enough quality to warrant a purchase.
