Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed Collection

I'm not paying 70$ for a videogame ever. This and the original all stars racing are collectively 30$ off sale, and still hold up very well.

Greatest Sonic Racing Game other than Crossworlds. It's so fun that I'm addicted to it.

this game really taught me how to drive in real life. that family of 4 never stood a chance once I got my license

With Crossworlds now being available for the odd week or two, I wanted to take a moment to look back at Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed - an exceptional masterclass in kart racers and one that doesn't get old even after 12 years. SASRT's biggest strength for me is the amount of effort that has gone into the game's presentation. Everything that was added to this game - the All-Stars roster, the games racetracks, the references and reimagining/rearrangements of their respective soundtracks - all adds up to an experience that makes it feel like a celebration of the extra magnitude. I am not even that familiar with SEGAs catalouge, yet I feel like this is a love letter to the entire roster featured here. Let me try to explain what I mean: Every race, the announcer hypes me up in just subtle ways like shouting "Clean Lap!" for driving an entire lap without any hard crashes. "Reversed Long Shot!" for hitting that firework on a racer far away from my position. The soundtrack shifts sometimes into different intensities as you approach plane or boat sections. The rearrangements of these tracks to fit for the racing atmosphere hit my personal sweetspot, exactly how I would want it. The racetracks often change up in their course design, transforming (hueh) previous sections you drove by into new alternative pathways, or outright replacing the method of racing with another one. The best part is that those reshapings of the racetrack are explanied with some small, but crucial world building. Burning Rangers has the underwater facility breaking down, so it floods and you drive over by boat. Rouge's Landing has entire ships destroying floating islands, the ones you drove past by first with car, so to the plane it goes. All of this together makes every single race feels like a once in a decade event, to the point where I start legitimately tearing up about how beautiful it all is. It's a celebration I cannot look away from, it's intoxicating, and my main reason why I can still boot this up on the occasion to have a blast. All of this with a very solid racing formular makes Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed a game I didn't even knew I needed - but I am glad it's here regardless.

I absolutely love this game and wish that Nvidia hadn't somehow broke it with their GPU drivers. To put it simply, the game WILL crash if you own any line of RTX gpu's. There is a problem with tracks that contain water where the shader crashes the game and so far there has been no fix for it since the problem became apparent years ago. I waited for a fix for so long that I nearly forgot to write this review. If your product can't even run on modern machines then why even sell it?

O jogo simplesmente hoje não funciona mais, estou com (RTX 5070 / Windows 11). E o jogo simplesmente inicializa dando erro, formatei o pc, instalei todos driver, entrei com modo de compatibilidade, e tudo apresentando mesmo erro. O suporte da SEGA é terrível: segui todas as dicas deles, enviei um vídeo provando que o erro persiste. Assim que viram o vídeo, simplesmente pararam de me responder e me deixaram no vácuo há mais de 10 dias. É um descaso total com o consumidor. Vendem um produto quebrado e ignoram quem prova o erro. Não joguem seu dinheiro fora.

geinuinely the best racing game of all time, i loved it growing up, and still do.
