    A horrible experience with no redeeming factors whatsoever. Horrible tracks, characters, controls, etc. Please don't waste your money on this trash. I'd have never seen a kart racer this abysmal in my life it is a huge let down for dumb sonic fans everywhere it is overrated and the sonic franchise is on its last leg now.

    I have to say this is a massive disappointment. The frame-rate is terrible and split-screen is virtually pointless because of this and the sheer amount of garish visual noise being thrown at the screen. The driving mechanic is basic to say the least, the water based game-play feels like a poor mans wave race and the flying is just unbearably sluggish. If you're old enough to get nostalgic about the games this pillages for visual ideas, you're old enough to know that this game lacks any of the characteristics that made those old games great. Expand

    A must play for Sega stalwarts, and damn good fun to boot. Mario best watch his arse. [Feb 2013, p.76]
