    Sonic Team has found in CrossWorlds a fun and dynamic formula that refreshes a classic and well-known gameplay style. It makes every race exciting, as the tracks are constantly changing. [Recommended]

    One of Sonic’s best spin-offs in recent memory. The game is best when it’s focusing on being an extremely fun Sonic racer, rather than a billboard for other games and TV shows.

    Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is a bright, digital spectacle, an intoxicating rush of pure, uncut video gaming. Mario Kart World is a toy-like pocket universe you feel you can reach into the screen and touch. They are the very essence of Sega and Nintendo. Which you prefer will be down to taste, or perhaps to deeply embedded, partisan loyalty. But they’re both a joy.
