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. This plane seems a bit antiquated compared to the jets parked on the carriers
