Blaze isn't the only one coming back into the spotlight. Omega hasn't been playable for 13 years. Big hasn't been playable for 18. (That is, if you ignore all of the non-mainline stuff) Needless to say, I'm pleased.
The only games I remember where Blaze is playable in a game are the five Olympic games and Sonic Riders Zero Gravity (these are the ones I know of, there may be more). It's nice to have Blaze playable again. :)
Despite the low character count the fact that it's a Sumo kart racer I was interested, happy to hear it's good and the team mechanic looks like a great deal of fun, will be a great alt to MK8 and the eventual CTR:NF.
@@Mr.Cynical I think Mighty may be better than Cream just so that it'd still be Chaotix and we'd have a defined power type. Cream could be with Tikal and Chaos or something. I feel the only real lackluster part about this game is the roster.
My biggest gripe with this game is the roster. Why pull Vector away from the Chaotix? Why was Cream replaced with a bunch of Chao? WHY IS THAT RED TURD ZAVOK STILL A THING?
hmmm i think crash bandicoot team racing is more of unique, but more int he wayy of verry odd where you forcely are fused or fuse whit not an ally just another racer and thend efuse near the finish to win or lose, just look it up it is a really really weird concept
@theinternetisalwayscrying mario kart clone? So mario has the team system.and the different power ups are different and much more this is based of mario kart not a clone a clone would rip everything off and have barley any new ideas but this game has alot new ideas uniqe in gameplay so don't say it is a rippoff it also has a story mode does mario kart have that hmmm? I'm not even a sonic fanboy I mostly play mario and smash bros but in my opinion this really is a uniqe kart racer
I'm buying this game for the charecters Back in the day people hated all of the sonic charecters beside sonic. I miss them though. I always liked them especially Knuckles and Shadow. Nice review.
Not sure if that's exactly the best incentive to get it because there's only 15 of them, I would buy it for the gameplay or wait until more characters are added through DLC.
Same here, a lot of people still complain about them, but other than them being side characters. When was the last time we played someone other than Sonic? Minus Mania and Forces.
In all three of these SEGA/Sumo Kart racer's I have REALLY enjoyed the challenge modes (aka story mode, here) and I love that they are challenging! They remind me of F-Zero GX story mode that was brutal but kept me coming back because it wasn't a cake walk, which I find boring. Sonic All-Stars Racing Transformed is actually my favourite Kart racer of all time... It's mechanics and sense of speed are just so damn exhilarating, this looks like more of the same without the one bit I didn't really enjoy - flying. Couple that with 60fps, 150 unique tracks on the OST and no Blue f**king shell item and I'm sold. My one gripe: Could've done with 6 more characters...
I disliked the boating sections more than the flying sections, but yeah. Glad everyone's back on solid road, and the mission/story mode in Transformed was definitely a lot of fun. I definitely prefer Transformed to Mario Kart 8, especially considering that the items felt a lot more fair and could be dealt with by being good at the game - sure, there's a "blue shell" item in the form of the Swarm (or in TSR's case, the Quake) but you can dodge it by swerving around or attacking it.
DDD yeah, I really liked that part of the flying parts, however me and my little brother found the areas confusing at times, we would get lost at times do to the size of it and go from 1st to much lower. That was mostly what made me not enjoy it.
It sucks that no one plays it anymore. One time I went online and there was only one other person. Then we had a disconnect and when I connected again, I went against the same person. This was on the 3ds. But I do agree that it's fun. The tracks and music were good as well. I played it even more then 7
@@Number15Tails Removing the mechanic makes this game an udder downgrade. Because of it, the tracks have no diversity and you'll be racing the same course for all 3 laps.

@@METR0lD There is a difference between stating your opinion and presenting your opinion as fact... You are totally within your rights to feel that Sonic was never good, to you! But it's certainly not a matter fact in the way those IGN journalists were presenting it. Sonic 2 is my favourite platformer of all time and I won't bore you with the details of why I think the 2D Sonic's physics-based platform with speed as a reward for skill is ingenious game design but to me and many, many people it is. Given your name you obviously like Metroid games. Personally, I find them a slow boring slog through dull locations. That's my opinion, it's not objective truth. So if I was a game journalist and I started spouting my opinion that Metriod games were never good as if it is a fact I can imagine you might take some issue with that.
Not only that but doc probably won't cost a lot due to little programming and more character model, car model, And stats hopefully it'll be like $3 so it wouldn't hurt much if you don't like the characters
It's been like, two games. Sonic Forces was bad, Sonic Mania was good. Don't get me wrong, it's nice to see another solid entry, especially a spinoff, but "finally" is kinda pushing it.
bijo yes but the initial idea of going away from everything that made transformed a classic (Best of sega stages, transforming and lots of characters) was a bad move...
Bambeakz True but I am still salty they limited just to the sonic games and lost the flying and boats. Thats why transformed was sooo amazing. No stage in this game looks anything as cool as the Shinobi, Panzer Dragoon or Nights stages.
The team element seems to be what really separates this game from other kart racers and MK. Honestly this looks even better than Crash Team Racing so far.
Team Sonic Racing is literally a special entry in the kart racing genre. Can't wait to pick this up. CTR definitely has more content, but it's about quality not quantity and TSR looks more appealing.
This game looks really good and the Team Mechanic seems fun. I love GameXplain's reviews! They don't use numbers to rate a game and just say if they like it or not. That's the most important thing!

@Strider Xanthos I didn't play games back then. I wasn't really caring about video games during those days. Adventure 2 and battle was really fun but a bit janky.
I wasn’t sure about Team Sonic Racing to begin with but after seeing recent footage, I’m really excited for this and this shows that Sonic Team is actually learning from past mistakes.
A company named Sumo digital made this. They seem to have sonic heroes fans on the development team. Sumo is notorious for making kart racers and a few other things that shall not be named.
I am a lot more excited for CTR Nitro Fueled but honestly your review got me a lot more excited than I expected. I'm just worried the small roster and the quite boring layout of tracks compared to past games may make things repetitive a bit quickly but we'll see!
Seaphron yeah I wish they tried another racer sonic r style as well an on foot semi platforming racer with sonic and friends using their individual abilities to get through the track sound awesome it just wasn’t executed the best in sonic r
@@coinbrothersgaming3017 I really dont think so. You could take literally this exact same game and just have them running and I think I'd like it more. Have the customization be their shoes and gloves/accessories. It could work.
"Who's your daddy Shadow" xD lol Agree on this, I absolutely love this racing game, and normally I don't like racing games cause I wasn't good at them. But this one was alot of fun to play, right now the Chaos and Vector are my main go to characters. Every now and then I'll pick the others and custmoize their cars, I'm not experiencing any glitches during that or the gameplay maybe they fixed it before I could experience it??? Not sure, either way I give it a 9.5 out of 10.
This team racing concept will be hell when playing with a little kid that doesn’t get it. Have you ever heard the Tragedy, of the sibling forced to play Guitar Hero with their sibling?
Team Sonic Racing does look like a lot of fun! Glad it's finally arrived too! :D I loved Sega All-Stars Racing (never played Transformed, sadly, but I have heard a lot of great things about it, so, hopefully, one day I'll get the chance to play it), and, honestly, I think I actually prefer over the Mario Kart series. I just feel like the controls are more tight, and responsive for my tastes. It's obviously not perfect, but I still enjoyed it! :)
Transformed is okay but I prefferd the first all-stars racing game mainly for the roster simple yet effective gameplay and unlockable music feature. Transformed looks beautiful to look at for a 360 or ps3 game and some levels are cool as well its worth playing but the first is better
True. glad you enjoy both games at the very least :) It is a bit of a shame that Transformed removed several characters from the previous game though... :( Oh well. at least we got some new ones
@@kingnewcomer2029 yeah chuchus opa opa and bonaza bros were my mains was pissed when none sega characters made it into transformed at least we got mee mee and gillies and nights kind of
I'm glad most reviews for this game are good. Some people will always hate on Sonic because it's Sonic but I'm glad the unbiased generally agree this game is good.
FIRST MANIA, AND NOW THIS? HOPEFULLY THE NEXT ADVENTURE SONIC GAME BEING SHOWN THIS YEAR WILL BE GOOD TOO! WE DID IT BOYS (IDK WHAT WE DID BUT HES BACK!)
I picked up my pre-ordered copy on the 21st when it released. (Xbox one version) I will say I have been enjoying it ever since I got home and started playing. As someone who owns every Mario Kart installment and has played a good healthy amount of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe on my Nintendo switch I will say that this game was a nice breath of fresh air and it's cool that there's a Sonic series based racing game that has smooth fluent gameplay. I know some people say some things about the visuals but I honestly have no issue with it I think the game actually looks rather nice. ( but then again that is probably because own the Xbox One X of the game and it is an "X enhanced" title as well. Anyhow I have not noticed any drops in frame rate so far) I love how the Games soundtrack is a combination of different Sonic games with each song having its own remixed version which adds a nice spice to tracks as you race. When it comes to the character roster though it may be small I will say that I am very satisfied because it just so happens by coincidence my three favorite Sonic characters are all on the same team: Siver, Blaze & Vector. The vehicle customization is rather simplistic and straightforward but still has a good amount of depth to it. And while I actually ended up enjoying the team Race function much more than I thought I would it's still nice to know that there is a standard race option for all modes too. Obviously this game was on a lower budget but I will say I am more than happy and I'm glad I pre-ordered and was able to play that one. This game might not go down as the greatest racing game in history or maybe not even the top 20 but I don't care lol. This game is very fun in my account and at the end of the day I believe that's what's most important when it comes to gaming: F-U-N.

@Strider Xanthos I didn't play games back then.
I wasn't really caring about video games during those days.
Adventure 2 and battle was really fun but a bit janky.
Oh wow so this is what an unbias review of this game looks like with a reviewer who actually understands how to play. *cough* gamesradar.
I love how we are deciding Gamesradar is the new IGN in regards to Sonic.
1:51 oh my gosh, Dark Arsenal returns to us! Praise de Lord!
I'm really excited for this game. Been hoping for a new game to scratch my racing game itch, so I'm definitely going to enjoy this; I'm sure.
THERE'S A NO TEAMS MODE? Oh, thank god.
I wasn’t sure about Team Sonic Racing to begin with but after seeing recent footage, I’m really excited for this and this shows that Sonic Team is actually learning from past mistakes.
Sonic Team didn't develop this game. lol
A company named Sumo digital made this. They seem to have sonic heroes fans on the development team. Sumo is notorious for making kart racers and a few other things that shall not be named.
Metratric:Team Sonic Racing has mixed or avg. reveiws.
Me:Screw you.
"Professional critics" are essentialy a joke to the gaming community and we're unwilling to take their reviews seriously.
@@nicholaschavez5006 True.Not only sonic but with pokemon and newely xenoblades.
Honestly I find this more tempting than Mario kart 8 Deluxe.
Mostly because Big the Cat
Looks pretty fun to be honest!
PS I'm still wishing for Diddy Kong Racing 2
I guess Sega should start doing more racing games bcz those are actually Brilliant
Sega were one of the pioneers in racing games. Arcades in the 80s or 90s were filled with racing games made by Sega.
I’m honestly getting this over crash team racing. Nothing personal, kid
*Teleports Behind You* Nothing Personal, Kid
Coldsteel the Hedgeheg DLC confirmed
Finally a racing game that doesn’t want you to hate your friends
I am a lot more excited for CTR Nitro Fueled but honestly your review got me a lot more excited than I expected. I'm just worried the small roster and the quite boring layout of tracks compared to past games may make things repetitive a bit quickly but we'll see!
Sombrego you forgot that is a game for kids
@@ralphtaylor7448 except its not?
@@ralphtaylor7448 How is that even remotely relevant?
Today's fact: In September 2007, a guy named Kevin Shelley broke 46 wooden toilet seats with his head in one minute to create a world record.
Already used that on a different video. Try again
i love the models of the characters, they're shiny instead of soft looking, it reminds me of sonic heroes!
This game looks fun, but with the whole cast being Sonic characters I wish they were running instead of being in vehicles.
Seaphron yeah I wish they tried another racer sonic r style as well an on foot semi platforming racer with sonic and friends using their individual abilities to get through the track sound awesome it just wasn’t executed the best in sonic r
@@Ethan-nl2wg Exactly!!! That sounds perfect.
Would've prefer a riders zero gravity style game.
Seaphron the. You’ll get a terrible game like sonic R and rivals....
@@coinbrothersgaming3017 I really dont think so. You could take literally this exact same game and just have them running and I think I'd like it more. Have the customization be their shoes and gloves/accessories. It could work.
I'm liking what I'm hearing...
The music I mean. The game seems fun too
The chaos have kidnapped cream, and became their own racer
You convinced me to buy this game now, thanks
Silver is playable. TAKE MY MONEY XD
finally silver is playable again, only took like 13 years
"Who's your daddy Shadow" xD lol
Agree on this, I absolutely love this racing game, and normally I don't like racing games cause I wasn't good at them. But this one was alot of fun to play, right now the Chaos and Vector are my main go to characters. Every now and then I'll pick the others and custmoize their cars, I'm not experiencing any glitches during that or the gameplay maybe they fixed it before I could experience it??? Not sure, either way I give it a 9.5 out of 10.
Does Sega not even market their games anymore? I didn’t even know this game was anywhere close to releasing.
If my pfp didn't give it away I prefer this over CTR
I’m extremely glad that this game is good! Definitely going to pick it up day one!
Wow wasn't expecting a review like this! I was expecting it to bad or mediocre
Aww yeah! This is happening!
Woah, back up. A modern Sonic game where you can play as more characters than just Sonic!?!?
Such a fantastic and incredibly fun but also beautiful game.
This team racing concept will be hell when playing with a little kid that doesn’t get it.
Have you ever heard the Tragedy, of the sibling forced to play Guitar Hero with their sibling?
Then it's entirely optional outside the story mode
Team Sonic Racing does look like a lot of fun! Glad it's finally arrived too! :D I loved Sega All-Stars Racing (never played Transformed, sadly, but I have heard a lot of great things about it, so, hopefully, one day I'll get the chance to play it), and, honestly, I think I actually prefer over the Mario Kart series. I just feel like the controls are more tight, and responsive for my tastes. It's obviously not perfect, but I still enjoyed it! :)
Transformed is okay but I prefferd the first all-stars racing game mainly for the roster simple yet effective gameplay and unlockable music feature.
Transformed looks beautiful to look at for a 360 or ps3 game and some levels are cool as well its worth playing but the first is better
I see. Well, I still wanna check it out at some point. Also, the first is better...? Eh, that's debatable. lol XD
@@kingnewcomer2029 yeah it' is debatable both games are great
True. glad you enjoy both games at the very least :) It is a bit of a shame that Transformed removed several characters from the previous game though... :( Oh well. at least we got some new ones
@@kingnewcomer2029 yeah chuchus opa opa and bonaza bros were my mains was pissed when none sega characters made it into transformed at least we got mee mee and gillies and nights kind of
Now that Sumo Digital has made 3 good racing games they now need to make a good fighting game with Sonic characters.
I like sonic charecters alot.
(Way more than sonic)
Kind of like Wolf to star fox.
Woow this game looks awesome, I think SEGA should work on more racing games... Imagine an F-Zero made by SEGA...
Ohh wait..
Since it will take more than a month for the releasing o crash nitro fueled, I’ll have to buy sonic. I hope that will decrease my hype for crash
I can’t wait to race in that game when it’s release 😊
#SOHYPE
Nowi hope for a sonic and Mario racing game
I mean, Blaze being playable already guaranteed me buying this game, but now I'm more confident that I won't end up regretting the purchase. Thanks!
Yeah so I gotta have this. Loved All Stars racing and I have MK 8 Deluxe but I want this bad.
This turned out much better than I expected :)
When it comes out, first thing I do is get the custom cars parts. Then I'm maining Rouge 😌
Good pick
Blaze is a bad biiij so I'm defo gona kit her out and 'blaze' past the competition 😆
Seeing that Traffic Attack returned is already giving PTSD flashbacks of The Downtown Shibuya Traffic Attack from All Stars Transformed...
Welp. I’m sold. Lol thanks guys!
Is it really worth it right now to spend 40$ for it?
This game is damn beautiful
I'm glad most reviews for this game are good. Some people will always hate on Sonic because it's Sonic but I'm glad the unbiased generally agree this game is good.
Im preordered, something to play until crash team racing nitro fueled
Derrick sure likes to say 'Enjoy.' Noticed on podcasts but now its coming up in reviews
Pre ordered it, getting a free key chain with it too!
WAIT WHAT!? I get nothing with my pre order
This game was much better than I expected. 8/10 for me
FIRST MANIA, AND NOW THIS? HOPEFULLY THE NEXT ADVENTURE SONIC GAME BEING SHOWN THIS YEAR WILL BE GOOD TOO! WE DID IT BOYS (IDK WHAT WE DID BUT HES BACK!)
...forces.
I'm rooting for sonic to be amazing.
I hope sonic adventure returns.
Love the franchise
Let's just ignore Forces huh? Lol but yeah let's hope the next game will be good. It has the potential
@@Burnout-db7ji We're ignoring that movie too until that model changes.
@@100CherryJuice I wonder what the new one will look like.
Really think an animated movie would have been more fun.
I picked up my pre-ordered copy on the 21st when it released. (Xbox one version)
I will say I have been enjoying it ever since I got home and started playing. As someone who owns every Mario Kart installment and has played a good healthy amount of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe on my Nintendo switch I will say that this game was a nice breath of fresh air and it's cool that there's a Sonic series based racing game that has smooth fluent gameplay.
I know some people say some things about the visuals but I honestly have no issue with it I think the game actually looks rather nice. ( but then again that is probably because own the Xbox One X of the game and it is an "X enhanced" title as well. Anyhow I have not noticed any drops in frame rate so far)
I love how the Games soundtrack is a combination of different Sonic games with each song having its own remixed version which adds a nice spice to tracks as you race. When it comes to the character roster though it may be small I will say that I am very satisfied because it just so happens by coincidence my three favorite Sonic characters are all on the same team: Siver, Blaze & Vector.
The vehicle customization is rather simplistic and straightforward but still has a good amount of depth to it. And while I actually ended up enjoying the team Race function much more than I thought I would it's still nice to know that there is a standard race option for all modes too. Obviously this game was on a lower budget but I will say I am more than happy and I'm glad I pre-ordered and was able to play that one. This game might not go down as the greatest racing game in history or maybe not even the top 20 but I don't care lol. This game is very fun in my account and at the end of the day I believe that's what's most important when it comes to gaming: F-U-N.
