Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed is a thrilling new racing experience coming to PS3 and PS Vita, featuring Sonic the Hedgehog and a fantastic cast of SEGA All-Stars. This iconic cast will be competing across land, air and water in vehicles that fully transform from cars, to planes to boats.
A decade later, Sega's iconic racer is still a formidable foe to the Mario Kart franchise.
Yes, yes it is! Damn shame that Sega never made another sequel or even updated this one with new tracks and characters.
"The platform of choice, however, is the Xbox Series X."
Yessir, the game runs extremely smooth because of the frame rate boost. Still, till this day I play Sonic ASR with friends.
What are the best titles to feature the Blue Blur?
Good list. Personally I’d probably trade the Sonic CD game in this list for Sonic the Hedgehog (1), simply because CD is quite easy so you’ll blast through it, and the original Sonic was basically a new benchmark when it was released which blew everything and everyone at the time away. It also features my favorite zone, Starlight Zone.
I really hope one day we’ll be blessed with a Sonic Mania 2.
R was one of my first PC games along with Worms 2 and some others like Virtual Springfield. R was kind of good in a strange way i guess, i didn't hate it at the time.
Sonic CD was decent but I'd say i liked the music more, at least for the JP/EU version, some of the levels felt a bit all over the place and most of the bosses were odd and a bit too easy. Even though the system was a flop too it did have some very good games like Final Fight also which had some great music.

Sonic 2
Sonic adventure

Ha Everyone screams clone at Little Big Planet Karting, but no one mentions this game which appears to be a Mario Kart clone with Sega characters
Why do they do this? Little Big Planet in my opinion will add a lot to the Karting while this Sega game will merely be an evolution of what Nintendo has created.
Btw my favorite was Crash Team Racing. I hope that it's available on PSN that way I can download it for my Vita when they release the update for it.
