![]() Again, this hardly makes any difference at all, the only major change being that the water freezes when it’s snowing. And the tracks are lacking considerably in originality!Įxample: one track is a city based course, while another is an industrial based course….how different could they possibly be, really?! In order to ‘make up’ for this, the game implements different weather conditions randomly on each track. When you consider the fact that Super Mario Kart, a game on a previous generation console, had twenty tracks, you can’t help but feel pretty ripped off. There are a grand total of 5 tracks, one of them being unlockable. When you look at some Sonic games that are released nowadays and think “This is the lowest point for Sega”, be thankful you never suffered the slap in the crotch that is this game. Take that away, and this game wouldn’t even be remembered for the pile of smelly vomit that it is. Let’s get one thing out in the open, Sonic R sells itself entirely on the fact that it has Sonic the Hedgehog. ![]() But often they are forgivable acts, because we all remember those good old days when playing Sonic the Hedgehog on the Mega Drive, killing robots to free the animals that were trapped within (and never questioning how the hell that kind of technology worked). And this is something Sega is known for, especially when dealing with their speedy blue mascot. But oh no, not here…įrankly, this is one of the most shameless attempts to sell a franchise you will ever see. At least other crappy racing games made an attempt at a story, to show they were serious. There is literally no story line, it’s just a racing game with a bunch of familiar looking mascots. Sonic R is as simplistic a game as they come. There were one or two titles called the Sonic Drift series, although these had Sonic and his friends in cars rather than on foot, and they felt only vaguely associated with the character. It’s pretty strange that a character whose principal selling point is speed didn’t really cash in on this sooner. Well, this is pleasantly retro eh? It may come as a shock to some, but Sonic didn’t actually have that many racing titles back in the 90s. *Before reading any further, check out the incredibly aggressive Japanese advertisement for Sonic R.
