Even if you were to come in 1st place, if your teammates came 10th and 11th, you’d still lose to a team that came in 2nd, 3rd and 4th. Where each player is positioned determines how many points they get, which is standard stuff, but the fact that you’ve got two teammates with you fundamentally changes how you play the game compared to other racers. While there is an option for the standard free-for-all races, TSR‘s main focus is the team-based races, where up to four teams of three compete to earn the most points by the end of the race. So is Team Sonic Racing a worthy Mario Kart alternative? Is it even as good as Sumo Digital’s previous work? Or is it just a gimmicky failure? It was certainly a unique premise, but after being consistently disappointed by so many Sonic games over the last few years, there was this constant fear that I was setting myself up to be let down again. The focus was entirely on Sonic and friends this time and, rather than do what every other mascot kart racer did and just copy and paste Mario Kart, Sumo Digital were doing something very different and making a racing game where players would race in teams and have to work together in order to win. The fact that Sega had brought Sumo Digital on board to develop it was the primary reason since I really enjoyed their last two Sega-themed racing games, especially Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed.īut there was still some scepticism, and I wasn’t the only one. However, as time passed and more info was revealed, I was eventually coaxed back like a badger out of its sett. At the time, Sonic Forces had left me rather bitter about how Sega was handling the series, and I didn’t think they had earned enough goodwill to only hint at a new title and expect me to be invested. Back when Team Sonic Racing was first teased with an incredibly vague and short trailer, I wasn’t exactly impressed or excited. ![]()
