Team Sonic Racing has a new focus on team-based mechanics, but it ultimately feels like a step back from the excellent Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed.

Team Sonic Racing is a technically sound karting game, but really only sells its central mechanic well enough in multiplayer to convince you that it needs to be there..

Team Sonic Racing does a pretty good job with the new team mechanics, but the difficulty can still be a tad rough at times.  While not as bad as prior entries, it can be easy to fall behind after you've spun out, only to catch up again using a Team Ultimate, only to drop back a few spots when the opposing team does the same thing and cost you the race.  Still, Sonic Team Racing is enjoyable alone and even more with friends or while playing online.

An exceptionally fun kart racer but it doesn't quite do enough to make itself great.Considering the team mechanic doesn't bring much new to the table, I wish we got Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed 2 instead.
