Si bien no es aburrido queda muy por detrás del Mario Kart 8 y el Crash Team Racing y es ahí donde viene inevitablemente la duda: ¿para qué me voy a comprar este juego cuando tengo el MK8 y el Crash TR que son varias veces mejor? Además el juego va a 30fps, al igual que Crash pero este último es mejor videojuego en general.

    Not a bad racing game. Not as good as a Mario Kart as a party game, not as good as other racing games as a car racing game... but still somewhat polished. The stages' design is pretty good, the soundtrack is good as well, the level of customization is nice, and I did enjoy the interactions between characters. At least I do not mind them talking regularly during the races. As for one thingNot a bad racing game.

At least I do not mind them talking regularly during the races. As for one thing I feel it's missing, it's the ability to form custom teams as desired. The team is selected for you randomly when playing exhibition matches. I only wish I knew that before buying the game as, as a Sonic fan, I wanted to choose my favorite characters and have them race together. Overall a game that kept me entertained only for a couple of days, worth buying it during sales, maybe.… Expand

    Is a good game
    Too bad they released it in the CTR year.
    In the year before it could be a success

    This game would easily warrant an 8/10 if it weren't for the lazy graphical port on the switch and the glitches in the Garage mode. As it stands the glitches ruin the experience completely - they need to be fixed. With a smooth experience this game would be great.

    Horrible performance, yes is ''stable'' at 30 fps but for a racing game you need 60 fps to take a look at Mario Kart 8, it runs at a steady 60fps no matter what, this is a poor attempt of a racing game.

    Team Sonic Racing is a solid cart racing title from Sumo Digital. The mechanics work well and are fun, and the audio-visual experience provided is of a high quality.

This features races against bots, which I enjoyed quite a lot, but also has poorly balanced ring collection and daredevil challenges that I did not enjoy much at all. I feel that more could've been done with this concept, and I have to say that it's a bit of a shame that the title is locked to 30fps, 60 would've made the game much better. A decent time, nothing mind-blowing, but worth a shot if it seems like your kind of thing.… Expand

Malgré nos craintes initiales lors de l’annonce du jeu, en choisissant cette fois-ci de ne mettre sur le circuit que les personnages de la licence Sonic, les développeurs n’ont pas mis la marche arrière, bien au contraire. Le changement significatif de gameplay, par la mise en place d’une course en équipe, change clairement la donne et permet à Team Sonic Racing de se démarquer de la concurrence et lui évitera une comparaison trop écrasante avec Mario Kart 8. Les deux jeux ne jouent pas dans la même catégorie et en fin de compte le jeu de Kart de Sega a bien fait de prendre un virage complètement différend. Un très bon jeu de kart, avec un mode histoire étonnant, et une réalisation technique à la hauteur. Une bonne surprise!… Expand

    Es gibt bessere Rennspiele mit dem blauen Igel, die Strecken sind breitbeinig, jeder möchte als Erster kommen, das Team gewinnt, schlussendlich ist man auf sich gestellt und später glücklich. Gut umgesetzt.

    Ring challenges and star challenges are sooooo annoying. Glitches were paramount to me from the start, and the story is cookie-cutter lame and uninspired. With that being said, I love the racing gameplay and team system. Is it on par with Mario Kart or Crash Team Racing? Not one bit.

    Overall it's a fun racing game, esp if you're a little burned out from Mario Kart. Not amazing, the story is pretty dumb but the gameplay itself is alot of fun.

    The game is fine and I love that little by little all the Sonic characters are coming back to be playable but it is a pity that the online play is literally dead. I only was able to successfully matchmaking a couple of time since I got the game two months ago.

    Team Sonic Racing is a game that brings a lot of fun, but also contains some questionable design choices. I love the track designs and music, most of them match their respective tracks. However, the story mode is weak, and some levels are annoying, especially the daredevil ones (curse you, mandatory 6-3).

Also, the modes in adventure and online are not playable in local play, which I think is ridiculous. I'm not bothered by the fact the the Switch version's frame rate is locked at 30FPS, but when I played an eggpawn assault level multiple times in a row, it started to drop significantly, throwing off my performance. I also find the unlock system completely underwhelming, since the cost of the mod pod is extremely low, and you can easily add two more "spins" by playing a race. Overall, this is a good game, but only Sonic or racing fans would enjoy it.… Expand

    It’s still a good game on the switch, but has minor problems. The game runs at 30fps although Mario Kart 8 Deluxe goes up to 60, and this version lacks the opening cutscene. This game is decent overall, but I recommend the PS4, PC and Xbox One ports over this. If this switch is your only console, stick with this.

    Team Sonic Racing is fun and enjoyable kart mascot racing game. Even with its few faults, it can be enjoyable for the whole family or just in singleplayer.

    Team Sonic Racing is competent and fun, but also unimaginative and uninteresting. You’re not going to love it, you’re not going to hate it - you’re simply going to shrug.
