Sonic racing transformed is amazing

I got this in a humble bundle years ago. I also remember it playing really really well and being a joy to play, up until like the last 3rd of the game or so when it just got punishing. The level design was great tho pretty much universally. You can play as sonic, billy Hatcher, the guy from shenmue in an arcade cabinet, and Danika Patrick.

What more could you want?

Finally someone gets it! It’s a fantastic racer! Can’t wait for the new game! It will feature Riders mechanics ?

Apologies put this in Sony talk because its PS3 release but suppose it falls under sega as a publisher. Loving this game.

it's a very good game. never managed to finish because i'm bad and rarely win at hard difficulty.

sadly, the sonic kart game after this one is horribly.

maybe we can play together someday

Much like crash team racing: its better than mario kart

 

[DjQuick2008]

mario kart 8 is almost impossible to get a win online prefer the battle mode

I only played the demo on a ps3 (i forgot when), this game is so cool.

Sorry but I meant better than which Mario Kart?

This game is probably my second favorite Sonic racing game falling right behind Riders, I really do appreciate just how difficult 100%ing this one is considering just how much time and skill you can get out of it.

In general! I like mario kart but I just like the heavier physics and the boost mechanics and less impactful items of ctr more; plus I just liked crash more than mario in general :p

I see.

But I think Mario Kart has always aimed at being a party racing game. CRT's boost system seems nice though.

I'm curious to hear it!

It makes it just that little more technical!
For similar reasons I prefer the gameplay of double dash over wii and 8's (though those two have the better track selection)

I loved DS mostly out of nostalgia (but those destroyed d-pads thanks to the snaking technique).

Wii had some technicality but mostly from that infamous Funky Kong + that one Bowser Bike. It feels a bit like how Meta Knight had his own gameplay from the rest of Brawl.

Sadly even for casual play I kinda find MK Double Dash and Wii a bit too chaotical because of the amount of items (twice for DD + the special items that are overpowered like the giant shell) and how Wii had many items that affects everyone like the POW Block and the Mega Mushroom being an even more busted Starman. I still loved the bikes in that entry.

MK8 Deluxe almost felt too easy on the other hand.


But for the technicality I'd say that MK isn't the right franchise. I'd even tell people that if they want a really hard and technical racing game they should try F-zero instead.
