![]() ![]() It’s also available for PC, PlayStation 3, and Wii U, as well as mobile (in condensed form). It’s available digitally, and you can purchase the physical copy for the right price too. (To think, crossplay can finally happen!)įor now, if you can, track down Transformed for Xbox. Heck, it might just be the release to put it neck and neck with the great Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Add more fresh multiplayer features, more racers (and tracks), and more bonus goodies, and you could have a winner for this generation. So…why not more racing love?Īt the very least, an HD treatment of the game (for Switch, PS5, and Xbox Series X) wouldn’t be a bad thing. This is the year of Sonic after all, with Sonic Frontiers and a new movie coming this year. That said, maybe the time has come for a new entry in the series, preferably a sequel to Transformed. Even though it couldn’t compare with Transformed (it was based solely on elements from Sonic’s world), it wasn’t bad. Team Sonic Racing came out a little while ago (from Sumo Digital). It’s unknown what the fate of Sonic Racing is at the moment. They even have a Burning Rangers track, people. New routes open up as well, and unpredictable changes can make things interesting. The tracks transform as well, with bits and pieces crumbling apart. In fact, 16 in all are included, along with conditions that could change over the course of each race. Tracks based on the above franchises are included, along with Jet Set Radio, Shinobi and more. This includes a time trial race with windows to drive through, a drift challenge in particular zones with curves, and an elimination race with AI opponents.Īgain, the track selection is outrageously good. It takes crackerjack timing in some cases, but the result is a nice shot to get first place.Ī variety of race types are also available in Transformed. Players can pull off flips, barrel rolls, and other little stunts (while airborne) to gain turbo boosts. On top of that, Sumo Digital introduced a fun trick system that’s executed with the right analog stick. The gamble paid off big time as the game still offers racing thrills galore today. Not to mention the game’s awesome drift system, which is fun in its own right – and easier than Mario Kart. ![]() At the same time, they also need to watch out for attacks from incoming players and environmental obstacles. As a result, some races were unpredictable and forced players to keep on their toes for turbo boosts and power-ups. Throughout certain tracks, vehicles would automatically transform to fit this new terrain, taking a concept that was introduced in Rare’s previously released Diddy Kong Racing for Nintendo 64 and pretty much perfecting it. ![]() The team not only put several tracks in place based on hit Sega franchises like Panzer Dragoon, After Burner, Outrun, and Golden Axe, but it also introduced a concept where vehicles could change into different formats – land, air, and sea. Now, you might be saying, “Wait, a Sonic game that can keep up with Mario Kart? How is that possible?” It all comes down to the savvy designers at Sumo Digital. Take That, Diddy Kong Racing, Sonic is here! The Nintendo Switch re-release of the Wii U game has been a hot seller for the platform, with millions of copies flying off the shelves and online play keeping fans entertained for hours. When people usually want a go-to multiplayer racing game, there’s usually just one genuine choice – Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. To think, nearly ten years after its release (it came out in 2012!), it still hasn’t lost its luster. Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed is that game, loaded with all sorts of Sega fan service across beautifully designed tracks, a memorable soundtrack, and a notable roster of racing superstars. However, there is a contender out there that makes an argument for a strong second-place finish. ![]()
