Team Sonic Racing is fun and enjoyable for hours and hours on end. The teamwork mechanic has been implemented extremely well making each corner feel important along the race. While racing around each track the controls always felt tight and responsive as well and the racing overall didn’t throw up any unnecessary issue for me. Team Sonic Racing has a generous amount of content for you, along with plenty of un-lockable content and upgrades for you to obtain in Sega fashion. Replay ability won’t be a problem either because the game offers you some beautiful and varied tracks and the presentation side of the game never seems to get dull or boring due to the rich art style and overall visual appeal backed by a rocking sound track. I would have liked to see more characters in the game and more weapons, so I hope for a DLC add on in the coming months. Team Sonic Racing is a game I’ve been waiting for, and I’m pleased to say that it has reached my lofty expectations. Yes it isn’t perfect, but it does what it sets out to do and that is deliver fun and enjoyable multi-player action from start to finish. If you love kart racing games, then this is an absolute addition to your Xbox One library.… Expand

    Online matchmaking barely works. The mod pods barely impact the overall performance of cars. Getting platinum medals in challenges is near impossible. The rubberbanding is ridiculous. Cream the Rabbit isn't playable.

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

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Team Sonic Racing is the third SEGA Racing game created by Sumo Digital since the original Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing came out nearly a decade ago back in 2010, and its sequel Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed a couple of years later. Finally with more than 5 years since that game came out, Team Sonic Racing finally releases Team Sonic Racing. And it is glad that we have finally another racing game from SEGA that we can play. But how good is this unique kart racer compare to the most notable popular kart racers ie. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Crash Team Racing?

    Team Sonic Racing is a unique kart racer which one of the main focuses is on its unique team racing. You get to be in a team of three and race against other opponents on 21 Sonic tracks across 7 zones with about just more than a third of the tracks being retro tracks from the predecessors before Team Sonic Racing. The limited roster of 15 Sonic characters is also separated into three classes; Speed, Technique and Power all with unique benefits and cons. The game includes good amounts of replay ability with Team Adventure (the Story Mode) which includes a good array of challenges, and the game has pretty good customization options and paint jobs with the former allowing to tweak their stats and can be change before the race. Grand Prix is also a good spot to do the tracks in order. Online is also pretty good and the controls are just as easy as Transformed. The music is also top-notch perfect, even with some of the track music making nearly no sense, it actually works out. Some like the Casino tracks, the Spagonia tracks, and even the Sandopolis tracks are very much great. You can even play some of the modes with a friend locally with multiplayer.

    As much as I love almost everything the game is still missing things due to the limited roster and probably needs a few more tracks to keep the game going. Hopefully future DLC would be added in this game. But don't let this thought slow you down, the game is excellent with the team base mechanics. Passing items that you don't need to other team members is great and even doing manoeuvres like slipstreaming behind a team member is great. You can still play these tracks without teams but then it'll be just called Sonic Racing. Either way, the game is a must to pick up.    … Expand

    Este juego es un solido 8/10 es un juego disfrutable con amigos, pero si lo juegas solo te vas a aburrir, tiene buenos soundtracks y remixes y también mencionar el regreso triunfal de Crush 40 después de estar ausente durante unos años de la banda sonora de Sonic, aunque el juego este bueno, Transformed dejo la vara muy alto en los juegos de Sonic Racing, pero esta chido el juego

    Nostalgia pura nesse jogo da Sega que traz os personagens do mundo Sonic com carros velozes e customizáveis. Muito parecido com Mario Kart, traz nessa versão algo novo que é o foco nas corridas em equipe. Vale a pena conferir, porém, é um jogo descomprometido caso você queira algo com maior profundidade.

    El mejor juegos de karts que hay en xbox one , pero las personalizaciones se quedan bastante cortas a comparación de su competencia.

    Es un buen videojuego(ignorando los pocos personajes seleccionables)pero se queda muy corto comparado con Sonic & All stars transformed.

    Очередной клон Mario Kart, красочный мультяшный с набором знакомых до боли персонажей, получивших, а скорее купивших права и запрыгнувших за баранку пепелацов.

Главным преимуществом данной игры является игра вдвоём или большим количеством человек на разделённом экране, можно как кататься в локальных чемпионатах один против всех или в командных гонках так и запросто проходить кампанию. Это действительно любопытно, хотя кампанию можно было бы придумать и повеселее, уж больно всё шаблонно, и глуповато, явно для аудитории до 10. Локальные чемпы вдвоём и более это весело и тут на обычном уровне сложности тебе ничего не гарантировано, попадёшь на последнем круге под град ракет, бомб и прочих всяких злобных призраков и ты уже вместо первого долгожданного места замыкаешь десятку. Куча всякого оружия, прокачки авто, яркие трассы с множеством альтернативных путей - это всё конечно плюс; топорное управление, абсолютная рандомность происходящего, слабенькая и однообразная кампания - это явно не то чего хотелось. Игра конечно не шедевр и играть в неё одному будет невыносимо скучно, но вот для компаний она подойдёт идеально и скорее всего все минусы уйдут на второй план. Только скорость, только дрифт и ракета, пущенная в зад сопернику… Expand

    You know, after hearing great things about tsr, i was delighted to play this on my trusty xbox one, instead what i got was a milked dry, soulless peice of trash, all of the tracks are uninspired, there are only 2 songs in the game, this feels like cheap shovelware, this has no heart or soul put into this extremely generic sequel to one of the best racing series out there

    This games brings back all the good memories of sonic all stars transformed game and the music is so beautiful and the idea of team car racing game is such an excellent idea. Because this reminds the sonic heroes and that's why is so good

    A decent but forgettable kart racer that’s lacking the variety of All-Stars Racing. [Issue#179, p.83]

    At the end of the day, Team Sonic Racing isn’t exactly the game I was hoping it would be, nor is it incredibly close. It’s a good, very competent and fun kart racer, but it doesn’t have as much content or as much of a wow factor as the two incredible games that preceded it. Still, I don’t want to sound as if I don’t like this game or think it’s above average, because I do. It's a good, competent racing game, but doesn't have the wow factor or staying power that I was hoping for.

    Under this cartoony hood is actually a competent kart racer. Team Sonic Racing feels good to take for a spin, and there is enough packed in for a longer drive as well. The tracks are all varied enough, the cars feel really good to drive and Team Adventure is a decent Sonic story, if presented a little poorly.
