Unfortunately, PlayStation players can’t enjoy Mario Kart, which means we usually end up playing similar racing games that don’t quite compare to Nintendo’s fun and accessible title.
SEGA has tried for years to make a successful kart racing game featuring Sonic the Hedgehog, and their latest, Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, is one of their best yet. It’s even managed to compete with the incredibly popular Mario Kart World.
The game has a clean and simple design, which likely explains its popularity with both casual gamers and dedicated racing enthusiasts. It’s a classic, no-frills kart racer, but it’s done exceptionally well.
CrossWorld is a clever feature that makes each race feel fresh and exciting. It smoothly transitions you between vibrant and diverse tracks, creating a constantly changing and unpredictable experience.
Even if the initial excitement fades, the game is genuinely fun to play and offers a lot of customization options. This adds a surprising amount of depth, making your choices about characters and vehicles matter even more.
This gadget system adds a layer of strategy to the game, offering a wide range of benefits that enhance your skills and stats in interesting ways.
The best part is this works for everyone – dedicated fans who want to perfect their gear, and more casual players who just need a little assistance.
The game’s adaptable nature adds to its upbeat feel, easy controls, and popular characters. Beyond a large cast of Sonic heroes and villains, downloadable content and updates have introduced characters from completely different worlds, including Ichiban Kasuga from the Like a Dragon series and even SpongeBob SquarePants.
This game knows what it does well and why people will enjoy it, making for a really fun kart racing experience with something for all players.
