Team Sonic Racing combines the best elements of arcade and fast-paced competitive style racing as you face-off with friends in intense multiplayer racing.
Boosted by its inventive new team-based system, Team Sonic Racing is a…
Taken on its own merits, Team Sonic Racing is a fun karting game that doesn't quite match Mario Kart 8 Deluxe in terms of either performance or sheer level of content, but still offers satisfying handling and should still keep Sonic fans entertained for a while. It's impossible not to compare it to its predecessor, though, and in all the areas where Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed excelled, Team Sonic Racing is merely competent. By no means a bad game, then, but when we look back years from now it won't be standing on any karting game podiums.
Here's hyperbole for you. Just as Sonic Mania saw a group of talented fans going wild with Sega's icon to create someth…
Team Sonic Racing, despite carrying a tidbit of fun, doesn't stand up to other kart racers today
We don't want to drag Team Sonic Racing down for ultimately quite trivial points. At the end of the day, Sumo Digital has served up a solid kart racer that succeeds in bringing something new to the table. It won't be to everyone's tastes, but the cooperative racing adds a nice layer of rapid fire strategy. It's implemented well, to the point where standard races feel distinctly secondary. It might be lacking the wow factor SEGA's other IPs brought to Sumo's other racers, and it's a shame performance is a little rocky, but this is a good option for PS4 players who want some arcadey thrills.
Team Sonic Racing implements interesting ideas, but ultimately fails to stand out in the kart racing genre.
The Blue Blur is back in this fast and fun kart-inspired arcade racer, with a few twists for good measure.
