    Team Sonic Racing is a team racing where you team up with two other people to play, and I think it'll be a great game, because it has some parts I like where you can explore new maps with awesome music, and how you can also earn stuff that can customize your car, and the gameplay of the game, and the items are useful but their wisps since they support you in sonic colors, but I don't likeTeam Sonic Racing is a team racing where you team up with two other people to play, and I think it'll be a great game, because it has some parts I like where you can explore new maps with awesome music, and how you can also earn stuff that can customize your car, and the gameplay of the game, and the items are useful but their wisps since they support you in sonic colors, but I don't like the fact that if you get in first place and your teammate place was around 7th place, it'll bring you down, but I'll say this is a great game for racing and fun for people, so I'll give it a 9/10… Expand

    One downside, though minimum, is the lack of party modes. While not a huge letdown, there are certain other things that could have been improved or added. But all in all, this is an amazing game and it's a relief to see a good Modern Sonic game, even if a spin-off, again!    … Expand

    Great racing kart style game, but with Sonic characters. If you like mario kart then you will enjoy this. Ive played the last two sonic racing transformed games and this one is very similiar. Some places are selling it at $33. Great deal and fun as hell game!

    After Transformed I was legitimately curious about this game: Transformed was one of the most fun kart games I played in a long time - even more than Mario kart 8 in my opinion- and I spent dozens of hours to finish that game and still haven't for how fun and difficult it was.

    TSR is a nice addition to the franchise, but I can't really say it's an upgrade: I still think Transformed is    After Transformed I was legitimately curious about this game: Transformed was one of the most fun kart games I played in a long time - even more than Mario kart 8 in my opinion- and I spent dozens of hours to finish that game and still haven't for how fun and difficult it was.

    TSR is a nice addition to the franchise, but I can't really say it's an upgrade: I still think Transformed is vastly superior despite its flaws such as having 3 different types of vehicles to LEARN and how inhumanly difficult the AI can be at S ranks. TSR however is a really fun game and I've been playing all day non stop, it's that fun.

    TSR adds the team mechanic, which is actually pretty interesting albeit very easily exploitable: instead of racing alone - even though you can still race alone in other modes - you got a team of 3 and this allows you to do some neat new features such as the slingshot, where you basically track behind the other team members in order to get a boost which really helps in rubber banding the race, and being able to pass power ups to other members: not only these actions are useful but they're extremely encouraged as you get more turbo, eventually unleashing a super turbo that gives you maximum speed and handling and invicibility for a short period of time TO ALL YOUR MEMBERS. Unlike Transformed however you can't shoot but only bump on others, but overall the team mechanic serves a good purpose on allowing ways to recovery from the last positions, which is often a problem in kart games.

    Another thing tht the team mechanic brings is that you just don't have to reach first to win: you need to get your squad to a higher position as well or else your score won't be as high as it should, making your efforts to reach first useless. For example if you're first but your squad is in the last position you're not going to score high to win the race. It seems weird but it works really well and it invites players to actually play in a team while racing.

    And add the fact that there's a career mode with a little story to follow, customization for your car including painting and parts - although it's only 3 pieces for 3 parts + 3 legendaries that don't really make any difference - and an INCREDIBLE price point of 40 euros, I could easily recommend this over mario kart honestly: for such a little price there's a ton of content and it's well cured enough!

    Honestly my only issues are very few: the game is REALLY tough, even at normal difficulty, and hard feels like I'm racing against S ranks from transformed, not really looking forward to do extreme.
    Upgrades are done randomly, with each race giving you coins to use in a gashapon machine where you unlock random upgrades for your race or new pieces for your cars and even though it's random IT DOESN'T REQUIRE REAL MONEY. It is tedious however.

    And while I didn't play a lot of the other sonic racing games, most of the races and even parts of the game feels recycled from previous games and of course you only have cars this time: if you missed that from transformed it's not going to be back here.

    Overall, I highly recommend it: a lot of stuff and content for a really good price. Hard to pass up, especially when you only got Mario Kart 8 (which costs a whooping 60 after a hundred thousand years and doesn't have the game modes that TSR or even SASRT had) or Sonic all stars racing transformed (which is cheaper and you can even get it on pc, but it's a lot harder due to 3 vehicles) to choose from.

    Or just wait a little longer and get CTR because that's going to be the definitive karting game!    … Expand

    Dang man, I was a little worried about the mechanic changes from the previous two Sonic racing games, but that immediately went away as soon as I started playing. The team mechanics add a lot of depth and fun and really make this title what it is. If you're on the fence about this game, honestly just get it, at the lower retail price of $40 compared to other games its absolutely worth a buy.

Para que não deu a chance, não sabe o que está perdendo. A Sega e Sumo Digital foram corajosas e inovadoras em trazer um jogo com um gameplay bastante viciante e desafiante. Como sempre, e é de praxe na franquia Sonic Racing, o jogo tem uma bela trilha sonora, mas achei o trabalho inferior aos outros jogos da franquia. Os gráficos estão muito bons e correndo a 60fps! Algumas pistas o level design encanta e outras nem tanto. É bom ressaltar que as pistas tem mais obstáculos, ondulações, rotas de fuga e atalhos criativos.

    Mas o que encanta mesmo Team Sonic Racing é o gameplay. Jogar em equipe realmente lhe traz uma boa dose de diversão e humor. Já que os personagens conversam entre si e comentam as situações das pistas. E as mecânicas da equipe funcionam muito bem. Outro ponto positivo é a dificuldade no modo campanha do game. Conseguir as três estrelas e a platina em cada missão vai deixar seus cabelos brancos de tanta raiva. Fora isso temos as customizações dos veículos, que você ganha gastando a moeda do jogo. O interessante que as modificações dos layouts dos veículos também influenciam no desempenho do veículo. Isso é fundamental em algumas situações de jogo. Por exemplo, você pode deixar seu veículo mais resistente para não sofrer dano contra um obstáculo da pista ou mesmo nas rochas que são criadas pelos seus inimigos.

    Agora vamos falar do ponto negativo, infelizmente temos uma quantidade de apenas 15 personagens. Realmente é pouco para uma franquia tão recheada de personagens icônicos. Nem reclamo da quantidade de pistas, que achei até satisfatório, mas a falta de pelo menos 18 personagens fazia diferença. Outra coisa que não gostei foi o modo online, o game não lhe dá escolha de salas. Você apenas faz login online e cai na sala disponível e ponto. Uma pena mesmo. Mas de toda maneira o online funciona e a salas sempre estão cheias.

    Portanto, Team Sonic Racing é um excelente jogo que vai agradar a todos. Gráficos, sons e gameplay estão na melhor fase da franquia. Sonic Racing Transformed é ainda o jogo de Kart Racing a ser batido. Se talvez um Team Sonic Racing 2 melhorar a questão de quantidade de personagens e colocar mais pistas também, quem sabe supera o tão querido Sonic Racing Transformed.    … Expand

I proceeded to hold a drift for half of an entire lap in my gameplay on this video and zoomed by my opponents to show that this article has no idea what they are talking about. In addition, there are many points they brought up that are "cons" about Team Sonic Racing that they would call "Pros" about Mario Kart. Theres a lot of bias going on and sonic gets the boot from the media again.

    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.
