  Sonic's first attempt to rival Mario Kart falls short due to a lack of options and bland track design

  Sonic has tried his hand at many different types of racing games such as on hover boards (Sonic Riders) and even one where he runs on foot (Sonic R). Sonic Drift for the Game Gear was SEGA's answer to the popular Super ... Read Full Review

  One of the worst Sonic games ever made.

  By chocolate1325 | Review Date: Mar 06, 2011 | GG

  First of all when Mario hit the track I think thats when SEGA thought lets have Sonic jump on the bandwagon and see what happens. First of all I have to clearly point out I played this game on the Sonic Adventure DX Bonu... Read Full Review

  For a hand held racer, it's okay I guess.

  Oh my god what a great game! Oh wait! I'm reviewing this

  By Blueguy93 | Review Date: Sep 23, 2007 | GG

  Unlike his sequel, Sonic Drift 1 is far more repetitive and has less character to choose from.

  By sonicphoto | Review Date: Jul 21, 2006 | GG

  In Sonic Drift 1 you play has Sonic, Tails, Amy and Dr.Eggman. Which is the first problem here the lack of amount of characters to choose from. In Sonic Drift the gameplay is all about racing on a straight course with a ... Read Full Review
