EVERYTHING VIDEO GAMES

What happens when sonic and Sega's greatest characters come together? Well you get an awesome racer. Sonic & Sega All Stars Racing is a very good game, but it is very very similar to Nintendo's Mario Kart. Right off the bat you will notice that this game is visually impressive, the player models are nice; the karts are awesome; and the maps are just impressive since it incorporates all of Sega's best games. The variety in this game is impressive, there are plenty of characters for you to choose from, ranging from sonic and his pals to Banjoo Koozie and even your avatars and mii's. Sonic All Star Racing looks wonderful and also plays nicely as well, the controls are very tight and neatly put together. Drifting and attacking are all easily performed and gives you complete control over your racer. Even tho all this is nice, the game feels like I have already played it many times before. Almost every single aspect of the game you have already seen in Mario Kart, from the blocks where you acquire weapons to the boost and jumps. This game is very fun and enjoyable but it seems like Mario Kart racer with a Sonic theme. Finally this game doesn't offer a lot of game modes like Mario Kart does, Grand Prix is fun but only single player and there are no battle modes. Overall this is a solid game whether it is a rip off of Mario kart, it is still fun and a solid racer for the ps3 and xbox, but as a wii fan I will stick to Mario. I rate this game 7.5/10.

7.5/10 "ALRIGHT"
