SEGA is bringing their best mascot out to race.  Sonic and friends and other characters from SEGA are put behind the wheels to have a showdown of speed.

One would suspect that that characters like Sonic and Shadow would blitz through everything, but they would be horribly wrong.

Despite the different characters everybody has the same racing mobile and they all move at the same speed.  So if you want a racing game where skills are the most important thing this multiplayer racing game is for you.

Pro:	You feel like you can really zoom past things as you drift to 1st place from behind Plenty of stages for you to race in from all of the SEGA games. All Star moves (a.k.a. bullet bill) are not only unique, but cool as it brings you from last to near first in matter of seconds! Exactly what you expect from a racing game, but better
Con:	All the kart are the same (stat wise) You buy new characters to race as

Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing Gameplay

So the big question.  How does this game compare to Mario Kart Wii.  Things are similar such as picking items to use from the ground, grand prix, etc.

Some notable difference is that there’s more emphasis on drifting, the karts are much bigger, and there are no variety of karts.

For those of you who don’t know about racing game the game work like this: you select a kart and then select a racing track.  Afterwards you race around the track 3 times.  You can pick up items from the floor and throw it at your opponents.

The items you pick up are pretty standard with things that follow you, things that bounce, and a lot more.  If you’re last you can pick up a super star item, which varies with character and will basically move you from last to first!

After every race you get SEGA milege which are basically money for you to use and buy new characters to race with.

Conclusion

Personally, to me, Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing isn’t as good as Mario Kart Wii.  There are fewer tracks then Mario Kart, no things like battle mode, and less customizability.

However the game isn’t terrible in fact it’s a top notch games with a lot of cool stages; you get to see characters that haven’t been out since the Dreamcast.  Besides that everything else you see has already been done by Mario Kart Wii.
