Sonic and SEGA All-Star Racing reviews

I'm not one for review scores, but I know some of you are. So here you go.

Games Master: 83% Source
Nintendo Power: 8/10 Source
Official Nintendo Magazine: 75% Source

Everyone seems to like it so far.

Much beter than i thought. I thought majority 5.0-6.5.

Those are great scores so far.

The game looks awesome, and it's going to be a lot of fun.

I'll trust Nintendo magazine reviews with a grain of salt with this.

Seems decent enough. I'm a bit surprised Nintendo Official Magazine gave the lowest grade here, though.

Nintendo Magazines won't rate it as high as any Mario Kart game because they are Nintendo. To be fair though Mario Kart isawesome in multiplayer this doesn't look as impressive.

Looks great. But still I prefer Mario Kart.

It was never gonna match Mario Kart in terms of multiplayer and fun.

Well, I suspect them of giving higher overall scores to games solely because they are out on a Nintendo console. I don't really have evidence of this, but whenever I check for Wii games on Gamerankings, Official Nintendo Magazine gives one of the highest, if not the highest score.

Mario Kart Wii is my favourite (kart) racing game of all time, so I doubt this one will topple it. Still, I'm really looking forward to it.

By the way, does anybody know whether you can control this game with traditional controls?

[QUOTE="alphamale1989"]Kinda off topic, but too bad we just get Miis when XBOX gets Banjo. Couldn't they at least have done Mario, Link or something? Theguy56

The 360 demo seemed a bit underwhelming. Not bad, but not $60 worthy. I doubt the Wii version is any better.

Well, I guess this will be useful after all!

So far from what I've played it's exceeded Mario Kart

Instead of putting around on a kart you're using the OutRun engine to actually drive fast. The power ups are more sophisticated then Mario Kart allowing things like rockets to be detonated by the user allowing for team oriented gameplay, something that Mario Kart is unable to have at all.

It plays nothig like Mario Kart and that's a good thing, there's already other Kart racers out there besides Mario

This is a racing game and a fantastic one at that

No

This has been asked before and the most logical one(s) are the Rabbids

They would have done the most good since they're one of the most high profile characters the Wii has and the highest ones since the Wii launched

[QUOTE="elbert_b_23"] what they should have done was added jack from madworld in the wii oneelbert_b_23

Hate to tell you but Madworld isn't Sega either lol

There are zero reasons to put an obscure character that no one knows in the game

The Rabbids on the other hand are popular and have literally millions of fans on the Wii

As far as being a property of Sega that doesn't matter, we've seen cross promotion done many times on the Wii and this would be no different.

So yes, for the best possible outcome you add the Rabbids if you're going to add anyone to the roster, they would do the most good

just hope it has something different than Mario kart Wii GigabyteM

i lost my launch midnight copy of Mario Kart, i'll get this on 360 if it turns out good

i hope so, demo is fun enough, i'm gonna rent it first day

i love a good kart racer

Hmm... I think I might actually give this a try. o.O

I'd have Mario Kart over this any day the curcuits don't seem as awesome as Bowsers Castle.

Why would anyone want Jack? The character id like to see would be the almighty bayonetta, she may make the DLC list coming to Xbox live so yay for me!

This is better so if you want the game that's not as good more power to you

Yeah, let's call a game better before it's even come out, great idea.

If it is indeed going to be better than MKW, which I doubt, this might become my fav game of the gen. It will not only depend on the controls and the gameplay itself, but also on the content when it comes to modes, options, online, and stats. MKW finally was the Mario Kart game I had been dreaming off ever since MK64, and I've spent well over 400 hours on it so far. If Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing even gets a quarter of that gameplay, it would be a rock solid game.

I'm gonna try and pre-order it this week. Oh, and seeing as noone answered my question, I'll ask it again: is it known whether or not the Wii version will support traditional control methods?

Yeah, let's call a game better before it's even come out, great idea.

Lots of people have been playing it for almost a week now

Demo, which has all the upgrades and power ups, 8 different racers, and one track

So yeah, people have been playing it and it's not a Mario Kart clone and overall the game is better

I still don't think you can judge a game like this based on a demo. Especially with kart racers, lifespan is very important.

I aren't gonna rush to get this it isn't a must have its a maybe for me.
