    Okay, when I wrote my first review for this game, I had only played it a little bit, but now I've gotten to play through a huge portion of the game. This game is by far one of, if not, THE most beautifully done game made by SEGA & is an amazing pickup no matter if you are a SEGA or Sonic fan or not.

This game is by far one of, if not, THE most beautifully done game made by SEGA & is an amazing pickup no matter if you are a SEGA or Sonic fan or not. This game is a mix of the first Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing game, as well as Mario Kart 7 & Need For Speed. It features all the great fun of a kart racing game, but features beautiful graphics & a more realistic racing game engine that resembles Need For Speed or Forza Motorsport. The controls are very realistic to how how think each vehicle transformation should play. The car sections play just as anyone would expect, the boat sections are great with waves & currents to make the sections funner & more challenging, and the flight sections play like a flight simulator (inverted up & down, etc). For SEGA fans, this game is sure to please you with an incredible roster of beloved Sonic & SEGA characters, as well as tracks that are based off of great levels that they've made into fun tracks to race on. The soundtrack for the game is made of mainly of remixes, but is still perfectly fitting & very catchy. This game is also like how video games used to be, packed with a bunch of amazing unlockable content you don't have to pay for but you really have to work hard to get, it's a very lengthy, but nonetheless, amazing game. No matter if you've been a SEGA fan for ages, or if you just picked up the game to have some fun, you'll love this game for sure, it is for sure one of the best racing games out there.… Expand

Lots of unlockables which are great at keeping you motivated to keep playing. 4-player splitscreen looks very good. My Favorite feature here is the fact that you can play the World Tour or Grand Prix single player modes in multiplayer. So, no need to play by yourself, you can play with the family and still progress through the "campaign." Also, unlockables and DLC from one profile are also available with all family profiles, this is not so on many games. I have not tried online multiplayer, but this game is a 10 in my book at doing what it does extremely well!… Expand

The good things are that the gameplay is good, some of the best controls in all Xbox 360 racing games, good characters and less cheesy than Mario kart. Overall get this game if you find it but try and get the bonus edition because you can get metal sonic, outrun bay and an exclusive pack of stickers for your license with a few mods… Expand

    Five words. Amazingly better than Mario Kart! This game is one of my favorites, and it’s fun to play! It is also very addictive and perfect for any SEGA fan! This is undeniably the BEST racing game of all time, and it includes some of my favorite characters from various SEGA media, including Pudding, Gum, Reala, Beat, Ulala, Amigo, AiAi, and Alex Kidd!

I find it’s fast and fun. One thing I didn’t ever like about the Mario kart series is the cheap CPU. Everyone that ever played Mario kart knows all about the blue shell or when your just at the finish line you get nailed by the computer and end up in last place..so basically you just wasted the whole race only to come in last even though you killed it all the way through..that ain’t fun at all..I found sonic racing gets the balance right when it comes to CPU difficulty. It’s tough but fair...Mario is tough and cheap but it’s still an awesome game...but everyone may say that multiplayer is where it’s at and I’d say they both are solid games...Hey it’s a kart game and comparisons will be made..I absolutely love the Mario kart series but when it comes to more fun and exciting and when I’m winning..I win...I deserve to win...not like Mario kart where if I’m winning the whole time..all it takes is the CPU to hit mega rubber banding and get all the power ups to kill me at the finish line. The gameplay is great in sonic allstars plus mega nostalgia..the soundtrack is awesome...it’s a great game and even though it’s older..it’s one of the few games that still lasts the test of time.

The graphics are great, it's better than Mario Kart 8 deluxe and that's saying something and the amount of content in this game is phenomenal, there's so much to do. The tracks in this game are amazing, although I feel like they could have given us better retro tracks like Ocean ruin, Sandy drifts and Highway Zero from Sonic and Sega all stars racing, but the retro tracks we got aren't bad. Egg hanger is great though. Some of the tracks literally change as you progress through the laps and are so diverse and creative, and the music is fire as always in sonic games. This puts Mario Kart 7's water and gliding gimmick to shame. (Though MK7 is still a really good game that revolutionised the MK series at the time.) I mean, you can literally transform into a boat and a freaking plane, that's just mind-blowingly awesome! They should definitely use this gimmick again if we ever get a 4th kart racer in the series, and even better, it doesn't cost much and it was a bargain at launch. Well done Sega and sumo Digital for bringing us this masterpiece of a game.… Expand

    Next to Mario Kart 8 the best kart racer of all time. I like the characters less and sometimes the graphics are too colourful but the track design is better - and the levels transform during the race. This is great. The mechanics and controls get a bit deeper than Mario Kart, what I like. And most of all: you can play the campaign together! Well done SEGA!

    This is a great game. It's fast, the graphics re gorgeous, the controls are good, it's original, and each racer is different in their own respect. Also, plenty of game modes and difficulties add replay value to an already extremely fun game. The only downside is that the controls for the boats and planes can be a little off at times. Plus, there is potential for more DLC, Alex Kidd and maybe more!

More importantly is this is a collection of all things Sega. Sega has always been a step behind Nintendo and it is good to see Sega come out with a greatest hits type game along the lines of Fighters Megamix.
    As for the game itself...no story, just racing. Everyone knows how the system works. You race other racers on tracks littered with weapons and speed pads. Sega through in a few time trials for good measure. However.....your car can turn into a boat to run on water of a plane / copter to fly when you run out of land. The boats are a bit floaty by design and the air vehicles feel natural with a bit of touchiness when you go up and down. The weapons are sadly a little on the boring side and actually hitting the target takes a bit of skill. The difficulty is well balanced however some of the later tracks are a tad easier than some of the earlier ones.
    Speaking of the tracks they are the best looking tracks in any kart racer. Period. There is no argument to be made. It looks fantastic. It looks so good in fact that some tracks like the "Nights" course or the "Samba" track are so cluttered it gets a tad confusing. Also the track design seems to be either a tad to simple or a tad to complicated. Some are trail and error. Not a deal breaker but it needs to be mentioned. But they look great. Sega blue is everywhere and seeing games like Jet Set Radio, Shinobi, and Monkey Ball gets the nostalgia going.
    Sadly on the Wii U I have not had a chance to dig into multiplayer because I can't get connected to anyone else. Plus the game is full of slowdown and glitches. I actually rented it from Redbox on the 360 and that version does not have the problems. So if you have the choice get the 360 version. Hopefully the Wii U gets a patch but thanks to Nintendo's ignorance I am already out of hard drive space. But I can't hate the game over Nintendo's mistakes. But the Wii U version gets the lower grade for coming out with problems.    … Expand

    One of the best games to be published by Sega in years, Sonic and All Stars Racing Transformed is more than just an average kart racer.

On the surface, it appears to be a Mario Kart clone, but has enough of its own character to set it apart, as well as a very different physics model. The game plays more like a hybrid of a kart racer and an actual racer, with additional segments of tracks dedicated to boat racing and aircraft racing (including inverted controls similar to a flight simulator). In addition to the obligatory grand prix, single race and time trial modes, the game includes a "world tour" mode, which creates a large amount of variety in gameplay styles. These include drifting trials, combat races, boost trials, and elimination rounds. All of this is done with a degree of polish rarely seen from Sega, the controls are tight, the environments colorful and detailed, and the music (consisting of DnB and breakbeat remixes of old Sega tunes) is outstanding and very fitting.

    The game is not without its flaws. As one would expect from a Sega game, there are still a few minor glitches, but generally nothing more than a few graphical errors, and certainly nothing game breaking. In addition, a large portion of the game's content is locked at the start, and unlocking all of the racers, tracks, and racer mods is a very very time consuming process. However, this is in my opinion preferable to being given content as DLC. There is no shortage of content. By all measures this is a complete game, and even if content has to be unlocked, it's not unlocked through the use of your wallet.

    This game is both a love letter to long-time Sega fans, as well as an excellent game in its own right. Whether you're a long-time Sega fan who misses the countless IPs that Sega has retired over the years, or somebody who enjoys fast paced kart racers, you owe it to yourself to give this one a try.    … Expand

    While it may not be as well-known as it's cousin Mario Kart 7, Sega's fun/hardcore racing game, Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed, is still a blast that in my opinion is just as worthy as its Nintendo rival.

The sequel to 2010's Sonic and Sega All-Stars Racing, the game's new feature is transforming vehicles, hence the game's title, with character's regular vehicles being able to transform into both aerial and aquatic ones. This can be done with transform ramps, and the player can activate transform boosts upon driving through these. This makes the game hectic, and with the wide range of items available, havok can erupt on the course in a matter of seconds - weapons include fireworks, ice blasts and an item called the hot rod which is very risky but is capable of giving you a massive boost of speed. Players can also go All-Star during races, which will give you a special animation, a tremendous speed boost, and the ability to decimate anyone in your path for a limited amount of time, but understandably the item that triggers this is quite rare. The courses are incredibly detailed and full of alternate routes which you can take, giving you a massive amount of exploration and choice. You can do this freely with your favourite characters, of which there is a wide variety, from Sonic the Hedgehog, to Dr. Eggman, to AiAi, to Vyse to Joe Musashi. You can level up any character, eventually being able to install mods on your vehicle, such as Speed and Acceleration, and your reward for doing this is maxing out your character's level and making them All-Star. There is also a very interesting and immersive Campaign mode in Sonic and All-Stars Racing Transformed, called World Tour, where you participate in events, collecting stars along the way. By doing this, you'll unlock new characters and medals/stickers to put on your driver's card, which can be viewed by other players online.
    Overall, Sonic and All-Stars Racing Transformed is a sequel even better than the original, and a worthy competitor to Mario Kart 7 that often goes unnoticed. Available for pretty much every system out there, the fun blend of great courses, interesting characters and fun yet frustrating items make Sonic and All-Stars Racing Transformed a game you should definitely give a try, especially since it's not too pricey either.    … Expand

    We all grew playing the Mario Cart games. I remember playing split-screen on the Super Nintendo while others may have gotten their first taste with Mario Cart 64 or Double-Dash. Its a fun twist on the racing genre and Sonic was long overdue for a spot in the limelight. That is not to say to this is Sonic's first racing experience but its easily one of his best; it finally puts him onWe all grew playing the Mario Cart games. I remember playing split-screen on the Super Nintendo while others may have gotten their first taste with Mario Cart 64 or Double-Dash. Its a fun twist on the racing genre and Sonic was long overdue for a spot in the limelight. That is not to say to this is Sonic's first racing experience but its easily one of his best; it finally puts him on par with his rival. A ton of different characters and tracks along with superb vehicle handling make this is a top-notch racing game.

    Game play is key to any racing game and this one is exceptionally smooth. This game is quite unique in the fact that you race across land, water, and in the sky. Thankfully, the vehicles handle smoothly across all three modes. The drifting is very satisfying and is quite easy once you get used to how it feels. You'll be drifting a lot as you'll get a boost that varies in strength depending on the length of your drift. If you need some assist there is an array of different power-ups at your disposal. These range from homing RC drones, to big fat blow-fish, to snow balls.

    The content in this game, especially in the career mode, is quite astonishing. First and foremost almost everything can be played via couch co-op which is a rare find these days. The career will have you compete not only in races but various challenges such as races that require you to constantly drift or races that require you to meet checkpoints while avoiding traffic. The easier difficulties will make this game fairly accessible while the hard difficulties can be quite challenging. All the game modes will reward your character with experience points for finishing racing. These will unlock different mods you can use to change the stats on your vehicles.

    Sonic is one of a dozen or so IPs represented in this game. There is a bunch of characters from the Sonic universe including Tails, Knuckles, Amy, and Shadow. You'll find them racing along the likes of Beat ( Jet Set Radio), Ulala (Space Channel 5), Aiai (Super Monkey Ball), Amigo (Samba De Amigo), Ralph (Wreck it Ralph), and many more. You'll race across multiple tracks that represent just as many different games. The character models look just as good as the tracks which are brimming with personality. Some tracks feature each vehicle mode evenly while others focus one or two more than the others. Almost all the tracks change each lap giving each race an exciting cinematic feel.

    Sonic and All-Stars Racing Transformed is a successful modern twist on the classic kart racer genre. The races are fast and frantic. You'll feel great as you pull off tight drifts or knock out opponents sneaking up behind you. There is a wonderful variety of much loved characters and locations featured in this game. Bring a friend over to enjoy the robust co-op that is accessible across almost the entire game. No matter how you play it or who you play as you're bound to have a great time playing this game.    … Expand

Sonic Transformed is the result of a series correcting everything that was wrong in the first game to right in the second game. With not only an improved game play engine, an innovative feature to change landscapes by racing in water and the air as well as the ground and tracks that change every lap, this is just the start of improved features from the previous game. Sonic Transformed once again features an ensemble of SEGA characters from different game universes with respective tracks for each character. The tracks are improved since last game, but also bring back tracks that were well received by the community from SEGA allstars racing. Sonic Transformed while having multiple glitches at launch, worked quickly to fix all track glitches so that the time attack leaderboard had more credibility. Sonic Transformed also reduced the effectiveness of the all star power up, making it more of a combative advantage rather than both speed and combat. The powerups are improved and more balanced, and now including a swarm powerup to target first place which was inspired by the shock from blur. This game has a much more competitive online multiplayer and karts feel balanced, even with various control patterns. You pick a speed class kart, you must take the turns different to that of handling and other classes. Overall buy Sonic Transformed, its one of the best Kart racers in recent memory and a vast improvement over its predecessor.… Expand

    It's nice to have a revamp of the first Sonic and Sega racing game join in on the racing category. I ended up getting the game ten days ago via Xbox Gold membership and it was an experience that I would definitely enjoy playing with friends, even if it causes as much rage as Mario Kart. Sad thing is, I have no other friends with the game. Pretty good though. I'd give it a rev.
