Does Sonic take home the gold cup?
As the years have passed, the Mario Kart franchise has slowly shifted its focus from being a wacky racing game to playing more like a party game, akin to Mario Party and its ilk. This has prompted a response from Sega in the form of All-Stars Racing, a game that attempts to blend the “wacky racing” vibe of earlier Mario Karts with gameplay that rewards skilled driving. Does it succeed?

At the end of the review, I couldn’t help but notice Samba de Amigo on the podium in second place. I swear, about 95% of the races I’ve played in Grand Prix, he’s always ahead in the race and ALWAYS coming second by the end of the Grand Prix (and that’s probably because I come in first).
But still, it’s a fun game like you said, and this was just my experience playing in a store, so this games just another reason to get myself a 360.
Really good review – enjoyed it.
So this game is the best racing game ever created
hehe and SONIC R too
Lol @ Sonic Unleashed! Sonic R will always have a special place on the blue side of my heart. Fantastic review, btw. Nice, clear vocals, and background music wasn’t too loud. Haha, and no bias either.
I would have mentioned in the review about Sonic R, or at least that “Super Sonic Racing” is from Sonic R and not ASR. Wouldn’t want people to stray away from ASR just because of Sonic R’s horrific tunes.
Nice review – nicely edited & narrated =]
Considering the score you gave the game, I’m surprised to hear that you flagged up an awful lot of things that were wrong with the game, rather than singing the praises for the better parts.
Still, nice review. I just wish you would have, I dunno, talked more, instead of leaving those annoying gaps of silence, with just gameplay footage.
good review, although u did not mention anything about the graphics or the slowdowns that show up. but i like how u made it all professional. I wonder, what capture devices are u using to get this great quality???
Hmmm…. I do hate those blue shells…..
And I do like fair play……
Absolutely sure that ASR has what Mario Kart lacks? I don’t want to make a bad choice here, man, so I need to know if you’d really suggest this game.
What’s the song playing at 01:17?
@Greg: The video review says everything I want to say on ASR. About the only other thing I have to say is that online play can be brutally difficult depending on who you’re playing with, and the interface for that stuff could be a lot better. If you like Mario Kart, there is a very good chance you will like this.
