    I bought this game thinking is going to be half decent. i found myself very dissapointed. This game is a let down for Sonic and I feel sad. It has nearly similar tracks and only 15 characters to chose from. I don't think that has a worth of it's price and it's a shame...

    Depois de jogos fantásticos como seus antecessores esse prova ser a decadência da série com gráficos fracos, mecânicas atrasadas e personagens sem apelo e pouco conteúdo.

    This game finally turned into a Mario Kart clone and it is every bit as terrible as that series. The last good Mario Kart was Mario Kart 64. After that entry, the series became mostly about spamming items, most of the tracks became too wide to fall off from. In short, Mario Kart became a game where skill is no longer needed.

This is what you get here with Team Sonic Racing, it is a hardcore Mario Kart ripoff, but people keep eating up that series because it is engrained into video game culture. So it makes sense for SEGA to try to turn this into a Mario Kart clone, that is what you call a sell out. They know full well that this new entry stinks and is just an item galore fest with mind numbing tracks to race in. But the prospect of more money is too good to miss out on huh SEGA? Suck it you sell outs. I am glad this game tanked.… Expand

    Sonic trasnformed dejo la vara muy alta, la idea era superarla y en esta ocación retrocedió, de verdad, esperaba mas.

    Low fps, few tracks and characters... Not worth the price that is charged...

    Excellent racing and awesome team work mechanism! Fun, fast and arcade. That's all we need with my team mates. Thanks Sega!

    Note: for me it's more enjoyable than the big rival. Faster and more arcade thanks for the outstanding Sonic music and pimps.

    Cool game, better than Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed. I like music in this game she is energetic and fit for the game.
    I also like the system of helping each other in a 3-person team, it's something new and cool compared to the previous game with sonic with cars

    People are overrating this game so bad on here. The game is barely average. It's quite lackluster. It would have been 50x better having an online coop campaign. Who wants to play a coop-made game in single player alone? Seems so lame. AI sucks.

    I do not see the point of making a game that is inferior to Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed in every way.
    It's much slower and less exhilirating, the items are way less cool, the roster's limited to Sonic universe only characters, most of whom are bland and uninspired and so are the race tracks.

    The dialogue is pretty abysmal as well.

    I just don't get it. Sonic is fast... why is he in a car? I get the gimmick of putting well established characters from a huge franchise in easy-to-sell types of games, but this makes no sense at all. Just run lil' blue bro. It's what you do.

    The gameplay is decent but far too simple and arcadey for my taste. On a technical level everything is just alright. Surprise - there is no plot.    I just don't get it.

    The servers are absolutely dead so there is no online. But still....

    A blind man could make a better racing game in half the time, for half the price and it would still be better then this trash

    Sometimes you get hit by nothing and loose all rings. Never see such an unbalanced game like this! In championchip i won every race but i loose the championchip because of the stupid team AI! Making win or loose in racing games a random thing of luck is not a good idea!
    On Stage 6-3 you have to do a optional bonus race on silver to progress in game! The web is full of comments that many player cant do this and they quit, same as me. Its enough Sega! Time to deleate this piece of software junk!    … Expand

    I really enjoyed Team Sonic Racing. The team mechanics make the kart racing feel fresh and help the game stand out from the other kart racers out there. The track design captures the fun and spirit of the Sonic universe, and the races are every bit as fast as they should be. If you're looking for fast and fun kart racing, take Team Sonic Racing out for a spin.

    Team Sonic Racing is not just a kart game with tight mechanics. By introducing teamwork as the core element of its gameplay, it becomes a racing game with its own unique appeal. Its lengthy and diverse adventure mode could teach Mario Kart a few lessons too.

    Overall, Team Sonic Racing is a fun and inventive racing game that puts a nice spin on it with focus on team cooperation. Cooperate with your teammates, blaze through the tracks, and work together to gear up and speed up.
