Topic: Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing

I just wanted to say that I've played the demo for the 360 for a week now.

Holy crap.

It's one of the best kart racers I've played, and at times even brought a tear to my eye as it reminded me of Diddy Kong Racing (my favorite kart racer ever). It doesn't get much better than this. The drifting can take some getting used to, but once you figure it out, good golly. That's some fun stuff.

I'll definitely have to save up some money for this one. Too many good games in 2010!

So, the demo for the DS makes it seem kinda... meh. There's no voice clips, the only obstacle on the course (crabs) was easily avoidable. The power ups include a shoe (booster), non homing boxing gloves, bombs and homing rockets (1 or 3 for both), traffic cones, rainbows (blockades of some sort), shooting star (for SS move?) and a bubble-like shield. It says that the game has:

20 Playable Characters
24 Courses
55 Missions
And 4 Player Support

I think i'll be picking up the Wii version at some point. :3

You didn't actually expect the DS version to not suck, did you?

I wouldn't say it sucked, it even had difficulty settings.

(Oh man, someone used an item that made the screen go upside-down XP)

ill be getting the Wii version and i predict this game to be better then MKWii.Well at least we are not too far from the release date.Im sure there will be friends codes for this game.But ill wait for the review from playr and wait and see what happens.

I'll be getting it on the 26th. I'm on campus from the 22nd until then. I'll get the DS version for the rest of the school year. This summer I'll pick up the Wii version. Can't wait!

I just played the PS3 demo and I really like it. The drift mechanic is really fun.

I might get the demo for the DS when I get home this weekend.

Well, I just tried the demo. It looks great. It's a little like Mario Kart, but the Sonic theme prevents it from looking like a complete knockoff. Definitely getting it over Spring Break.

I wish there were better games to get excited about. I played the demo and it doesn't even come close to MKWii.

Its a good game. I bought the wii and the ds versions. All round solid modes, decentish tracks and control reponse. I think the only issue is the frame-rate. I hope it doesn't get compared too much to MK because it deserves its own respect. I prefer it to Need for Speed Nitro though

The Wii Wheel motion controls style is "exclusive" to the Wii and that's all I need for exclusivity as far as I'm concerned!

Love it. Recommended.

You must be kidding. Why in the world would SEGA do something as stupid as that?

A PC racing game without online multiplayer support? Yeah, right...how many people do they think gather around a computer for local multiplayer? STEW-PID!

Also, the game's awesome on PS3. Great online and no noticable framerate issues.

The only gripe I have with it are the uncreative car designs.

A working vehicle shaped like a maraca isn't creative enough for you?

Not really, no. Considering the character who is for, its just predictable.

I guess you have a point...even so, it was nicely designed. I don't think Mario Kart really has any more creative vehicles available than this game, anyway.

@Swiket: I mean that SEGA was stupid to program the game the way they did without online multiplayer support, because local multiplayer on computers is not generally considered convienient as far as I know.

Mario Kart Wii may not have had very creative designs, but Double Dash, my favorite so far, had the best looking cars.

I rented this. I will be buying it. It's very fun. Not better than MK, though, IMO. I got mine for 360, since Banjo and Kazooie were in it.
