Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing
About the Game
The easiest way to describe Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing would be to call it a Super Mario Kart clone. But instead of featuring famous Nintendo -characters like Mario and Bowser, the players use Sonic, Billy Hatcher, Dr. Eggman and 17 other more or less famous characters from the SEGA games library. The core gameplay remains the same though: in a normal race players have to compete against seven other racers using both his racing skills and one of the several different power ups that are scattered around the track like a boxing glove to shoot racers in front out of the way or mines to destroy his pursuers.
Gameplay & Core Systems
Like all other power-ups, the All-Star-Action has to be collected on the track first before it can be used. In single player players can either do time trials, single races, a Grand Prix or one of the several dozen missions that are available and require players to fulfil many different goals other than simply being the first in a race. Multiplayer consists of a split screen mode for up to four players and an online mode (not available in the PC-version). Completing a mission or winning a race either in single player or in multiplayer earns players SEGA miles which are used in the internal shop to unlock additional characters and tracks.
Standout Features
- A major part of the experience is several different game-modes.
- SEGA: The Xbox 360-release features in addition to the SEGA characters and tracks also Rare’s Banjo-Kazooie - hence the additional subtitle.
Modes & Ways to Play
Besides normal races several battle modes are waiting like King of the Hill or simple Deathmatch.
Player support includes Same/Split-Screen.
Presentation & Atmosphere
Display support includes Progressive Scan (480p). Audio support includes Dolby Pro Logic II.
