About this item
- In a frantic battle to the checkered flag, Sonic and friends speed around tracks set in mediaeval castle ramparts, lush rainforests and bustling cities, all taken from the visually rich and varied universes of Sonic and SEGA.
- Secret short cuts, swift handling and avoiding strategically placed obstacles are certainly the best way to get to the top of the podium…
- Each character has a specific All Star move – such as Super Sonic, Banana Blitz and Tails Tornado – that allows a quick way for competitors to get back into the race!
- Power ups and weapons can also be collected around the tracks and used against the opposition to ensure they don’t become a threat to that number one position.
- Battle it out in single or multiplayer mode, allowing up to four friends to race in frantic split-screen action, or up to eight players to compete online in the ultimate racing showdown.

Product Description
In a frantic battle to the checkered flag, Sonic and friends speed around tracks set in medieval castle ramparts, lush rainforests and bustling cities, all taken from the visually rich and varied universes of Sonic and SEGA. Fan favourites such as Dr. Eggman, Tails, AiAi, Amigo and many more will join Sonic in their custom built vehicles, revving their engines and jostling to stay ahead of the pack. Each character will speed around the track in cars, planes, motorbikes, and in Aiai’s case – a banana mobile! Secret short cuts, swift handling and avoiding strategically placed obstacles are certainly the best way to get to the top of the podium…
But winning is only part of the fun in Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing! Each character has a specific All Star move – such as Super Sonic, Banana Blitz and Tails Tornado – that allows a quick way for competitors to get back into the race! Power ups and weapons can also be collected around the tracks and used against the opposition to ensure they don’t become a threat to that number one position.
Battle it out in single or multiplayer mode, allowing up to four friends to race in frantic split-screen action, or up to eight players to compete online in the ultimate racing showdown.
Can Amigo scramble Dr. Eggman? Will AiAi say bye-bye to Tails? Are you gonna be faster than Sonic?

Normally this is where I discuss the story, but no, there is none, so onto the gameplay. As stated, Sonic and Sega All-Stars Racing is a kart racer that puts players into the shoes of Sonic, Tails, Shadow, Amy Rose, and other sega favorites as they race against the others to win the gold cup, using a variety of weapons and items to get an edge. With tight, simple controls, anyone can jump into the fun. Each car plays differently. Some cars are wicked fast but don't handle well on rough terrain, while others can fly over said rough terrain smoothly, but aren't that fast. Play as every racer to see which one suits you best. Speaking of, you have no shortage of characters to race as, but depending on which version you pick up, you may get more or less. The Wii version features your Mii as an extra racer, the Xbox 360 version has your Xbox Live avatar and Banjo Kazooie as playable characters, along with some DLC for two extra racers and an extra track. The PS3 version may have the DLC but that's it. My vote goes to the Xbox 360 port as the definitive version, so dust off your old 360 and get into the fun.
There are about twenty tracks, spanning several sega games, like Sonic the Hedgehog, House of the Dead, Super Monkey Ball, Samba De Amigo, and more. Most of the racers and tracks are locked when you start the game, though. So how do you unlock them? With Sega Miles. These are the game's currency, and you win them by playing. Playing well will net you a lot, and playing poorly will net you just a few. You can grind for them to unlock everything, and you probably should if the default racers aren't your best ones.
There's also plenty of weapons to use on the track, just like in Mario Kart. Boxing gloves, rockets, stars that flip your world upside down (literally) and more. And if you're really getting dominated, you may get lucky and the the All Star. Every character has an all star, and if used properly, it can mean the difference between first and last place. Try not to waste these, and if used correctly, you can destroy the competition and win the gold cup. The same can happen to you however, and it can be frustrating when on the last lap the AI pulls some cheap shots and you fall from first to last. This has happened, and while it's rare (at least on the easy mode) it can happen and it'll frustrate you when it does. On top of that, not all of the tracks are simple and straight forward. Some have hairpin turns, cliffs to fall off of, and other traps to confound you. I have had more than one instance where I was owning the race, only to make a small mistake, not being able to correct in time, and had to watch in dismay as I went from first to dead last. Even worse, a lot of this was on the final lap.
Also, the game has a drift mechanic and you'll want to get good at it. You'll soon discover just how many races are won by who the better drifter is. And the longer you drift, the bigger boost you get, you can charge up to three levels, and this can make or break your shot at first place. With practice you'll learn when best to drift, and be able to steer around obstacles without ever getting hit. However, drifting in the wrong spot can cause you to veer off the edge. Ask me how I found that out. But this is a crucial skill to master, so practice up or it's the sliver cup for you.
If you are having trouble with a track, you can purchase it with your sega miles and practice in the time trial. In this mode, you are not limited by a set number of laps like in Mario Kart, you can run the track as many times as you please, and you are given a generous time limit, so you really have to try to run out of time. There are also ghosts to race, staff ghosts and ghosts of other players on the leader boards, where you can try to beat them. Totally optional of course, but you cannot turn them off, at least I haven't found a way. And yes, you get Sega Miles here too, just not as many.
The game even has a mission mode, where you are given an objective and the better you do, the higher your rank. Higher ranks give more sega miles and also unlock more events, so practice up because some of these are just tricky as heck. You can also gather your friends and play together. I myself have not tested this mode, so I cannot speak for its quality as a multiplayer game, but I am sure with the right friends it can be a heck of a time.
However, there are a few snags in the works. For one thing, this game was not able to escape the wrath of glitches. For example, in one track, I don't remember which, I was driving quickly, owning the race. The track curved up into a ramp, and instead of going up it, I clipped through it and died, having to reset and setting me back. Though I've only seen it once, I could imagine it destroying your chances of winning first if it happens at a bad time. And there are times when the AI just does not want to be your friend. You can go from peacefully driving to being bombarded by attack after attack at the drop of a hat, and fall back a fair bit in the process.
The presentation is awesome too. The graphics are crisp and clean, bright and colorful in some tracks, while the tracks from the grittier games are darker and more dismal. You can buy music and pick a different song for certain tracks. The vehicles are all distinct enough that you can tell who's is who's without having to see the driver. The voice acting is spot on, and there is an announcer for the racing modes. He does have some funny lines, but he does repeat himself a lot, and you can turn him off if you get tired of him.
Overall, Sonic and Sega-All Stars Racing is one heck of a good time. I'm not even a huge racing fan, but this game keeps me coming back for more. Tight controls, fun and frantic racing, a multitude of modes, and multiplayer to boot, this is the game for you if you're hurting for a new Kart Racer. But with the lack of Content in the PS3 version, I'd say steer clear of it unless it's the only option you have. The Xbox 360 version is the winner in my book, but you'll be the winner if you pick this bad boy up. And it did well enough to get a sequel, but that's for another day.
'Mario Kart' but with better graphics and a bit more imagination at play here.
If you like the Mario Kart you will like this one. Just as challenging and just as much fun. I am still in
the beginner mode at this point and I am winning or placing in, almost every race. Some races are very
challenging in the beginner mode, for me, and that is the way it should be. I am not a heavy gamer by
any stretch. Maybe play X-Box and Wii about 1-4 times in a month. More if my son invites me to play a
game with him.
As you run through the races you accumulate money to buy more characters, race courses and music.
You can keep score of your accumulated scores in a multitude of challenges. Far too many to name at
this time. It is like they spent a lot of time thinking up reasons for you to 'win' something. I think that
is asinine but younger players (say, under 14) may enjoy this aspect of the game.
A fun game and a nice change-up from Mario Kart. I'd say that'Sonic and Sega All-Stars' compliments
'Mario Kart' nicely. For $20 and free shipping this game is just as good as Mario Kart and can't be beat.
Happy Gaming...
.
NOTE: If you have Component connections on your TV or amplifier I recommend you get the Component
connectors for your Wii. The connectors only cost about $10 and there is definitely an improvement in
the picture whether you are playing games or viewing downloadable media through your Wii, like movies,
cartoons, etc.
---------------------------------------------------------------
UPDATE June 2014: My disc has been unavoidably scratched and I wanted another one to replace my first
one. I like the game enough to buy it again. I am glad it is still reasonably priced. Good news.
UPDATE August 2014: I purchased a Wii Version instead of the X-Box version. I have written a review of
that one as well. The long and the short of the Wii Version is that it is identical to the X-Box and
I don't have to worry about bumping the Wii and getting laser burn.
With this game, racing has returned! While there is some loss of enjoyment because of the unfamiliarity with the characters (we are definitely a Nintendo house), overall it easily fills the void the lack of Mario Kart has introduced.
I only have one issue, and this is the reason for me only rating it four stars instead of five: a lack of a map! I never realized how much I actually used the map to understand where I was in the course, and what was coming. This game is fast, and some of the tracks are so visually chaotic it can be difficult to know if you are supposed to turn or go straight. I assume as I get more familiar with the courses this will be less of a concern, but it might make full adoption by the more "casual" players in the house a bit more difficult.
Overall, though, it is a good game. We have a five year old daughter, but unlike some other reviewers, she isn't picking it up quite so easily. However, she doesn't play games much, so the concept of using your thumb to turn (as opposed to turning the entire controller) is going to take some getting used to for her. This might be another place where Mario Kart Wii has an advantage, but when you take in to consideration the cost of a Wii + controllers + game, going with Sonic is a no brainer!

マリカDSあたりからどうしても質感がなかったり、動きが不自然過ぎだったり、コースや音楽が好きになれなかったり、好みのキャラがいなかったり(キングテレサが一番好きでした)好きになれませんでした。
そしてセガファンの自分はこのゲームを買いました。
音楽や音楽やキャラは進めれば増えていきます知らない作品のステージでも好きな音楽を見つけるのが楽しみです。
個人的に難易度はマリカより高く感じました(実力的な意味で)。ノーマルで直ドリしてる自分に食いつくCPUは根性がありましたが一周遅れが4人もいる事態、この戦力差はなんだろう。
しかしマリカで定番のアイテムリンチは余程の事がないかぎりありませんので安心を。
タイムアタックのシステムが素晴らしいと思います。
コースを三週するのではなく一周を計り続ける形式です。三回同じ事をする必要がない上、飽きるまで休むことなく計り続けれます、スタートボタンのメニューからやめるまで計り続けられるので最高記録を出すまで何周でも練習をすることも出来ます。
シルバーメンバーシップでも世界のゴーストと対戦出来ます。レーシングコントローラーにも対応してるそうです。
欠点は
サウンドテストがない(レースゲームなのでそれが普通ですが)
コースの矢印が見にくくマップがない
操作が設定できるがマリカに比べ不親切、自分で割り当てられるようにして欲しかった。
個人的Nightsのステージとキャラは欲しかった、旗持ってスタートラインにいるが使いたかった。
シングルレースモード(マリカのVSモード)は競争のみでマリチプレイの時選べるバトルなどがなかった種類豊富なのに、時間区切りで最下位から消えてく生き残り戦のモードは欲しかった(マリチプレイで一番盛り上がります)。
アバターを使う時サングラスとか外される…グラサンキャラなのに
一部スタッフゴーストが異様に弱いこと(マリカもそうですが)
24コースもあるがスターロードみたいなラストっぽいステージがない(自分はDLCがラストっぽいと思います)
ブレーキとドリフトのボタンが一緒なのでドリフト中ブレーキを使っての急カーブができない、変わりにアクセル離しながらドリフトをして曲がることに。
DLCのメタルソニック&デスエッグゾーンについては個人的にメタルソニックはウララみたいに浮いてるSFっぽいカートで使いにくかったです
ステージはシンプル気味ですが楽しかったです。スタッフゴーストが異様に強い気がしますが。
体験版があるので気になった方はそちらをプレイしてみては?
DS版も買いましたが基本的に〔似ている別物〕でした、こちらやるとDS版に手をつけなくなってしまいました。
