Team Sonic Racing finally gives the plumber and crew a run for their money with exciting racing and creative team elements that keep it from being just an impersonation of the classic Mario Kart formula. I enjoyed these events too because they tested your skills and it was exhilarating to get the best score, even if they made me rage at first when I was getting used to them.As a massive fan of kart racers, there haven’t been many options to choose from on the Switch so far besides Nintendo’s flagship series. Not even the events made it better, which ranged from grabbing rings, to drifting around poles, to destroying Eggman’s robots, nothing made them better. There’s only about 16 tracks so I understand you couldn’t do much for variety in the story, but after the 50th time through the Casino Pinball map, I didn’t want to see it anymore. The last thing I will say is that some tracks are extremely overused. Even my friends who were playing alongside me agreed. I’m not sure why, but I wasn’t the only one who thought so. The one weird thing about expert difficulty is that it was easier than Hard. These tokens are gained at the end of every race, whether it’s online or not.
#TEAM SONIC RACING REVIEW UPGRADE#
Even with upgraded cars, which you upgrade by using your gathered tokens at a ball machine. I hated going back to Normal afterwards because I found it too slow. Having to time your drifts, and getting extra air to do tricks to get a boost when I hit the ground was so sweet and exciting. The speed of the game feels amazing on Expert difficulty if you unlock it by beating each level on Hard. Even when my team ultimate meter built up by giving my teammates items, or if they slingshotted around me from my boost trail, they’d use it immediately, as opposed to waiting until I hit the button, and just screw me over in the long run. With my teammates not beside me, I was at the mercy of the AI who were almost ALWAYS together, and the terrible item system which never gave me optimal items. It didn’t help with some challenges that required me to always win a race, or pick up rings. The AI were either really good, or couldn’t get themselves out of last place at all, killing any chance of me winning the races, making me restart. Sort of like in Mario Kart, where once a race is done, you get points based on your positions in the race, going towards your totals. First of all, every race requires you to either be first, be top three, or have your team’s points put you in first overall. I have to say that being paired with AI constantly was the worst choice in the game, and there’s a few bad decisions here. The entire game you’re paired up with two AI, or if you have any friends in real life, unlike me, you can enjoy the split screen portion of the game, whether in the story or just random races where you make your own rules! You get a huge cast of characters to choose from, each with their own unique cars. When I first started I felt like it was too loose, but the more I played, the better it felt. When it comes to the racing, it’s all actually pretty tight, once I got used to it of course. I mean I know it’s a racing game, and the story isn’t the main focus during these kinds of games, but a fun career mode just makes the entire package better.
Even when the story tries to ramp up to have a crazy twist, it’s just so dull and boring that it’s hard to pay attention. There is no motivation here, there is no grand answer to seek, and at the end of it all, it’s Sonic, so I feel like everyone just knows how it would end. Either a rivalry talking shit about each other, or everyone throwing conspiracy theories out about Doctor Eggman, even when he’s not involved! I mean I guess it acts as a thin driving force for working your way through all of these races and such, but honestly I would have much rather a story about a silly friendly competition. You get a few lines of dialogue before each race or event during the story mode, depending on if it’s the main path or not, and it all boils down to the same two points. The story is honestly very barebones here. Greeted by the mysterious tanooki, Dadon Pa, they are given race cars, and told to drive to win a special championship, and they all agree, because who doesn’t want to race their friends in awesome cars? So off they go! Sonic and his friends are enjoying life, living it up, when suddenly they all get mysterious invitations to a race track.
