You might find that in your first lap you're just driving a car, but the second one might involve flying a jet or driving a boat. There's a reason the game title has the word 'Transformed' at the end because that's exactly what your vehicles and even the maps themselves do - they transform! After each lap, the map changes but not only with respect to the route the circuit takes but even what vehicles you will employ. Oh, well enough of my sob story, so the game is very similar to Mario Kart then with the exception of which characters you can choose from, right? But wait. There's sure to be a favourite amongst the line-up although I'm sad there are no characters from my favourite Sega game, Streets of Rage.

There are even non-Sega related characters such as NASCAR driver Danica Patrick, Wreck-It Ralph and the fellows from Team Fortress 2. Joe from Crazy Taxi, Gilius Thunderhead from Golden Axe and even some less orthodox candidates such as General Winter from Company of Heroes 2, Willemus from Total War: Rome II and Football Manager from Football Manager. You're also able to race as one of the many characters from Sega's franchises such as Sonic the Hedgehog, Tails, Doctor Eggman, Ulala from Space Channel 5, B.D. You basically race around a track while looking for boosts, power-ups and weapons that can give you an edge. Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed is basically Sega's answer to Mario Kart. So is this game as good as the Steam community make it out to be? Is this a worthy Mario Kart clone to try out? What's the deal with the weird title?

Why? For a couple of reasons: (1) it's received a Steam rating of 'Overwhelmingly Positive' and (2) it has an interesting roster of drivers you can pick from, including the chaps from Team Fortress 2 - whaaat? It was only thanks to the recent Sega Humble Bundle sale that I managed to finally get this game along with a few other Sega titles for the rock-bottom price of $5.00 USD. Ah, so many good memories.Īnyway, in the past year or so, I developed a hankering for another one of those kind of games and that's why I've been keeping an eye on Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed for some time. The game was called Wacky Wheels and was published by Apogee in 1994. I did play a Mario Kart clone in my youth though and it was for the PC. In fact, I never had a Nintendo system at home, so the only time I've actually played the game was at a friend's place probably over a decade ago, and it probably wasn't even the original 1992 Mario Kart but the 1996 Mario Kart 64. It's been a long time since I've played Mario Kart or one of its clones. Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed will release on 3DS, PS3, Vita, and Xbox 360 on November 16.This plane seems a bit antiquated compared to the jets parked on the carriers Lycett said he realized he was just teasing everyone, but when a straight answer is able to be given it will be. 'Across all the playable vehicles, there are currently more than 90 different forms, and who said each vehicle was limited to a single driver… or indeed vehicle type per surface.' Not as we’re talking passengers or hood ornaments, counting those would indeed be cheap, but you know this is game all about transformation, we are doing things with the vehicles that we’ve not shown you, that are going to really surprise you.

'Playable choices doesn’t necessarily equal drivers either. Some are SEGA characters, some are not,' he said. I’m not going to say which, that’s part of the fun of the reveals. 'Some platforms have characters that are unique to that platform. Speaking on the official SEGA forums, Sumo Digital’s Steve Lycett said not all versions will have 20 playable 'choices,' some will 'drop down to the low 20′s, some instead have high 20′s.'

Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed will contain 29 characters across all platforms, but rosters will vary due to system-exclusive characters.
