    This is just an all around fun game. While geared more towards family entertainment an individual can enjoy this as well. The tracks are a blast as well as the overall gameplay. Racing controls and mechanics are spot on also. Reminds me of the old days of N64 when games were just a blast to play. The whole family will love it. Especially happy to see split screen on the pc.

So many games lack split screen support on the PC while this retains it. People just don't realize that lots of gamers have there PCs hooked up to actual HD TVs with this new invention called an HDMI cable. PCs also have the ability to use 360 controllers, and PS3 controllers, and tons of other gamepads, both wireless and wired. I appreciate developers retaining all aspects of gameplay in the PC versions of their games.… Expand

    I got this game because I wanted a fun kart racing game, and it is just that fun, quick and full of high end action, tons ot unlock and tons of events and all of the Sonic & Sega characters you can think of. It is worth your time, if kart racing is your forté.

    This is an extremely fun game! The graphics (which give you an incredible setup) are superb, the sound is much better than most, and gameplay is awesome! The ability to split screen with another person is unique to pc players too. If you can find this for a really low price like I was fortunate to have? Grab it quick! You won't be disappointed at all!! The sense of racing is marvelous!

    It's a Mario Kart clone, yes, but a very good one! The power-ups are good, and it *feels* like Mario Kart. There are lots of Sega characters, but the real stars of this game are the tracks, which are as crazy and dizzying as you'd expect for a Sonic game. In fact, I think it tops the Mario Kart series in that respect; Mario Kart's tracks were never truly clever like this. The single playerIt's a Mario Kart clone, yes, but a very good one!

In fact, I think it tops the Mario Kart series in that respect; Mario Kart's tracks were never truly clever like this. The single player is a lot of fun. After you beat the basic game, there are lots of challenge races you can use to get points and gain access to more cars/tracks.

    Visually, it's nice-looking game, though the cartoony style means it isn't too flashy. Much of what impresses visually is again the creativity of the levels, as opposed to the raw detail. Despite what another reviewer said, performance was excellent. I have a pretty low/mid system (HD5750) and got 60fps constant for the most part with AA and AF on through my video card's settings.

    The biggest selling point for me? It features 4-player split-screen (on PC!), which is a blast. It has native support for 360 controllers, just plug 4 of them in to your PC. There is no online multiplayer, but I didn't miss it. A game like this is best enjoyed as local multiplayer, and split-screen is such a rarity on PC that it's more of a selling point to me than online would be.

    Overall, a very fun game. You just don't get games like this on PC very often, and I really enjoyed it. Don't overlook it!    … Expand

The game includes a set amount of unlockables and is reminiscent of what you would expect in a Mario Kart type of game from another company or franchise.

    It's pretty fun but it's definitely not the best racing game I have tried. For Sega's standards, it's pretty decent and offers good graphics. This game is much more enjoyable to play with friends. One of the downsides is that it does not have online multiplayer, only local. That aside, it's pretty fun. 7/10

    Quite a solid kart racing game. If you loved kart racing games, then you will like this one aswell. The only complain i have is the PC version dosen't have online mode. I don't know why they were so careless for PC, but whatever the case it still is enjoyable game.

    Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing was a great game and it deserves a well earned retirement now that the Transformed version is up and running (and way superior).

    Well when it comes down to it there really aren't a lot of racing games like this available these days; especially enjoyable ones… So I'm kind of thankful this game was released on PC. I must admit I'm not a racing game (or kart racing game) lover, but I do enjoy the occasional dabble in these fun “wacky” sort of adventures!

Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing doesn't really bring anything new to the genre it’s fundamentally race people, find power up’s, use power up’s on enemy’s, win race… Ta-Dah! I did like the system for unlocking new characters and arenas but the missions do get unbelievably repetitive and by number 50 you will have had enough!… Expand

    It is not innovative nor the best racing game ever made, basically a SEGA themed kart game, but it is still a good game, especially the missions that can be quite fun.
    Too bad that, more than technically speaking, for reasons of graphics, performance, and others this is the best version, but it is the only one that has no online mode.
    Still, it's a good racing game, I recommend.

    Underrated game. Especially after the release of Team Sonic Racing, I think retrospectively this has aged well along with 'Transformed'. This was my favourite though, the soundtrack, characters and gameplay/tracks were all severely underrated by the critics. I will never forget the fun I had setting time attack records and finding which character was best for each track and the shortcuts.Underrated game.

    For me it is the best SEGA racing game, basically to have a lot of fun offline if you put the AI ​​of the bots in Expert mode. It has a good soundtrack, I know it's reused from some games, I like the one from Sonic Adventure and its derivatives, Like Casino Park, Be Cool, Be Wild and Be Groovy, Back 2 Back, Palmtree Panic, Seaside Hill.

It has very simple controls, very fun tracks, fun animations, especially when you get hit by a missile and the car goes flying through the air. I highly recommend this game for those who want to have a lot of fun offline. Also, has a very funny commentator in Spanish as the race progresses, it's better if you put 9 laps on the course, and the commentator becomes funnier for any events happening in the circuit. Like All-Star moves and hits to the racers.… Expand

    great game, I loved this game as a child. I remember when I was 8 years old, my mother bought a CD with this game and I played it until I was blue in the face. If I knew how many hours I lost in it, I would be more than surprised.
    But when I look at it as an adult I also think it's a great game ;)

    Ultimately a great arcade racing game that celebrates Sonic's 20th anniversary on iOS. A bit pricey, but worth it.
