Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing

Sega fans can rejoice because there’s a new and awesome kart racing game that will surely satisfy their need for adrenaline and wacky racing style. Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing is a blissful merge between the Mario Kart racing style and classic age-old characters from Sega’s hall of fame.

Sonic, Tails, Ulala, Dr. Eggman, Shadow, Amigo, Knuckles, Billy Hatcher and many others have been brought together for the sole purpose of racing it out on various tracks for your amusement.
If it sounds like a deja-vu (granted, it borrows some of Mario Kart’s features) the game is quite unique in terms of landscapes and track diversity.

Story
I’ve abandoned a long time ago the notion that a game is only as good as its story is and with this statement I strongly emphasize that Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing has no plot whatsoever. Honestly, I couldn’t figure out for what all these characters are racing for or what their purpose really is for attending each race.

Nevertheless, this is actually a good thing because it’s hard to imagine a story coherent enough (or that didn’t sound like a massive cliché) to support the sheer amount of characters. So, don’t beat yourself up trying to figure out what B.D. Joe (from Crazy Taxi) or Ulala (from Space Channel 5) are looking in a race against Sonic the Hedgehog related characters.
