The BEST Mario Kart clone ever!

Sonic All Stars Racing Transformed is one of the most fun and best games i've ever played! The race tracks, the game modes, online mulitplayer, the music, the characters and colorful visuals it's a complete package and an amazing achievement by Sumo Digital. The game plays like a mix of Mario Kart, Diddy Kong Racing and Crash Team Racing but it's so much better than the latter two because the controls are simple, the vehicles are responsive and you can also choose the difficulty setting along with unlocking new mods for vehicle stats.

It's overal an amazing game but it's not perfect, at least not this PC port. The game seems to be unoptimized or has a shader compilation problem because i get lots of frame drops during races and i've tried literally everything to fix this; turning V-sync on and off, reinstalling, rebooting... But the weird thing is that the frame drops are dependant on the characters that i choose. For example if i'm racing as Sonic the game drops frames constantly but whenever i use AGES the game runs at almost locked 60fps. Either way this is unacceptable for a 2012 game.

There are some other minor nitpicks like the annoying announcer never shuts up but you can turn down his voice in the settings and some of the characters do feel out of place like Danicka or Football Manager like why are these guys here? But other than that it's an almost perfect game which i highly recommend!

perfect autism game

this game rules bros. its like actually hard to win unlike mario kart or stuff like that where the bots are stupid and let you win. the racing is drifty, weighty, and very punishing for making mistakes. It doesn't have a lot of tracks. but vastly makes up for it with how animated and detailed they are. The Hornet from Daytona USA being here is a particularly nice touch. the music is absolutely amazing.

played this game when i was younger a ton and i'm glad they added it to pc even if it barely supported at all

I've been playing this one for more than a decade. Still pretty fun, with acceptable graphics and good mechanics. Playing it with friends never gets tiring. Sure, there are lots of bugs and a moderate amount of content even with DLCs, but it’s still a pretty fun game. I also bought Team Sonic Racing, but I didn’t care for it. Just not my cup of tea.

I disliked the fact that the language suddenly turned Spanish. LIKE... WHAT IS SI, ETHAGO, ENTRE? I will not recommend this game to people who do not speak Spanish.

Best ever game

Can you wreck Danica Patrick in it?

Best cart racer on steam.

Shadow

Very fun game with tons of content. 10 of 10 stars

This is fun

This is genuinely, GENUINELY, one of the best kart racers of all time. At a glance it just looks like Yet Another Mario Kart clone, but it's... more than that. It's got this sense of flow to it that just isn't there in most kart racers-- you're encouraged to hold a drift boost by drift-swapping on turns, the trick system lets you reposition in the air really quickly, the tracks while kinda linear allow for a lot of experimentation, and the transformation gimmicks allow for a lot of variety.

You can also play as Pyro TF2 and be an absolute menace to everyone and I find that funny.

its really fun i like this game

better than the fake free2play from disney

During the holiday of 2012, Sonic & All Stars Racing Transformed came out for Xbox 360. At the time, I had just moved out of a homeless shelter with my family and always demanded to go to Walmart just to do one thing; play demos for the Xbox 360 set up in the entertainment department. There were two games that I was obsessed with: Forza Horizon and this game.

I have never been able to get my hands on the original FH, but this game I have played to death ever since I got it. There really isn't much to it, but just playing it and relieving all the memories of going with my parents to Walmart just to solely play it, always make me smile. For that, and the solid racing in this arcade racer, I can't help but recommend it.

Pues por qué si
S

i like this game cus of the memories i have of it. super chill game where u can just turn ur mind off and grind or where u can really try and be better than you were before. but if anyone can help me figure out why it keeps crashing that would Rule. LOVE

THIS GAME IS SO FUN THAT I COMITTED ILLIGAL STREET RACING

crossworlds wishes it could be this game

Played this loads on the Xbox 360. Loved it then, love it now.

This game is really fun and i do enjoy playing the as some of the characters and i always enjoy racing and enjoy online racing with other people.

Can't afford Mario Kart World, we're soooo back

i personally liked it because it's much different then the original and that truly exciting

good game

Real fun multiplayer game! the transformations make it much more fun

lots of fun.

This game is an action-packed kart racing game that features beloved characters from Sega's iconic franchises. It stands out with its unique transformation mechanic, allowing vehicles to switch seamlessly between land, sea, and air modes during races. The tracks are vibrant, dynamic, and filled with nostalgic references to Sega classics. Highly recommend this game for lovers of Sega.

It's a fun racing game

I remember playing this game back on my Wii U and saw this game years later on sale so I picked it up again and remember how fun this game was, I truly recommend this game for anyone who is into racing games or is a fan of the sonic games. This game is truly PEAK.

this game reminds me of wacky racers but like with sonic characters i had load of fun lots of stuff to do

This game is the embodiment of fun, sadly this game spoiled me to the point that I don't enjoy the latest games, this one was just that fun.

If you like Mario kart and Sonic, this game is a perfect mix of both, and is overall the best sonic racing game based on the variety of characters, setting and developing the concept of a racing game.

imagine spending $80 on a racing game

Look, it's not a great game. It has issues with the actual transforming mechanic, maps, and items. However the game more than makes up for it by making none of these issues entirely problematic and being incredibly lenient with what previous sega titles they include here including a burning rangers map for anyone who might hold that close to their heart.

What ends up being the biggest issue with the game is that while the driving is close enough to mario kart while still separating itself enough to be genuinely fun, it absolutely cripples itself with the items, rpg mechanics and maps to a point where it started becoming unplayable rather early on and when I tried to go for the burning rangers map in the campaign on hard mode I was just done.

This game fails to implement items that actually work to the same degree that mario karts does. They will not restrict items based on position leading to situations where an "all star" can be pulled at first or if I had an off situation maybe second and they do restrict that item as I really can't imagine how they could choose to not restrict this. It's essentially a bullet bill but if for specific characters you could also do a damage item effect. However it won't entirely auto-pilot and you still need to turn for it and for some reason force your turning speed to be slow enough that it's more than likely you'll get caught on a corner in the tighter maps. You'll also not be speed boosted at enough of a value for long enough to realistically make this a game changer. A lot of items are like this, either they're boring and marginally benefit you, fail at being a game changer like they're supposed to be or are just insignificant enough that whatever they're supposed to do doesn't really matter. Hell one of them even has a more than likely chance of hitting you in the process.

This is topped off with the transformation system which makes the races change between driving, flying, and waterskiing across the maps as they shift to change up what's used each lap. This mainly fails because flying will essentially lock you into the place you had before take off, even though there is sky drifting and items available, you're barely benefitted by utilising the drift boost in this form and whatever advantage you have would only be pushed back by whatever item whoever was in front of you had, if it's even something that can be used effectively while flying in the first place. As for waterskiing, it's basically the same as driving except with handling that unironically makes it feel like you're operating with tank controls. This is exacerbated by the constant waves that don't add anything other than vary up the time you're acceleration will be active and whether some shortcuts will be accessible or if the wave dip will make the ramp force you into a helpless stop. These two modes were clearly not thought out very well.

Finally there's a leveling system with rpg stats for each character. Instead of swapping out what your riding with your character, Sega & All-Stars opts for picking between around 6 or 7 different "mods" that will swap around different values for a characters. They're also locked away until you level up each racer appropriately in order to utilize them in meaningful ways. This means that some characters will ultimately just not be capable of racing effectively on a large amount of maps with very very niche exceptions. It's a shame especially when you account for the few positive aspects.

While a lot of the problems fundamentally keep the game from being an objectively good racing game, there are a lot of things to love about this title, enough so that I would genuinely recommend playing this game.
While I went into how much fan-service there is for the game. What I meant isn't that there's a map here for this franchise and maybe a nod to this thing over there. I mean they have a frequent f1 sega sponsor Danica Patrick as a racer in the game that you unlock with a lovingly detailed replica of her f1 race car. They chose to not only include Ryu from shenmue, but also made his vehicle replicas of the arcade cabinets that he could play from the shenmue games. Maps of franchises not talked about outside of niche circles like skies of arcadia will not only have you race through a recreation of the hub for rogues in that game, but show over the course of the race an invasion by a fleet of sky ships as they rip apart the port with their cannons and fly around the map as you continue racing through with custom music redone from the original game to both fit the racing game better and sound better overall generally now not being restricted to archaic sound capabilities. It's an absolute product of love.

Beyond fan-service, the actual "grand-prix's" will be giant campaign maps with not only races to come out in first, but will include custom game modes that will make the varying options for your racing actually matter beyond a set few stats. You will Want a slow racer that takes massive benefits from boosts on the boost challenges. You'll want someone with low speed, but high acceleration for the tank fights. Better handling for the police car pursuit stages. It's genuinely really creative and even if not as perfect as it realistically should be to be a good game. It really does offer things that are just so interesting and fun to encounter that if maybe it had more time put in for polish or just perfecting a lot of mechanics that this game would really be better than mario kart 8 in my eyes.

That is until mario kart world comes out and does the open world campaign with what'll probably be a challenge system like this games, and I guess mario kart also had actually meaningful gliding mechanics instead of flying.

I first bought this game on the Nintendo Switch and preferred playing it over Mario Kart 8. When it came up for sale on Steam, I had to add it to my collection. The game is a lot of fun with heaps to unlock. The music, zones and gameplay are all well matched to one another and if you've been playing Sega games for as long as I have, the nostalgia you get from seeing familiar faces racing alongside you is always welcome. Some of the races are quite hard, like the time attack races but you can always lower the difficulty. Having said that, collecting all the characters requires you to finish the zones on the hardest difficulty setting - which for many will seem near impossible.

One of the great "kart" games you can get that is arguably better than Mario Kart.

I just finished and unlocked the Expert mode of the career mode, releasing 80 more challenges to enjoy, this game besides having fun mechanics has a lot of content! It's the best kart game for computer, buy it (and play on-line during the night please).

Classic, has some real effort put into it.
Too biased to write a comprehensive review, but I gotta say.
It's definently a lot more than just "The game that has Yogscast, TF2, Sonic and a dreamcast controller share the same roster."

Damn this is a classic. Booted the game for the first time in a few years and yeah, it still holds up pretty well. I don't what it is, maybe it's well balanced, maybe it's some concept of game design that I just don't grasp yet but it feels so GOOD to play. Winning a race is pure fun, the power ups are useful and fun and the characters are nice too. I love this game, and honestly, I believe it's the best arcade racing game I've played to date, even better than Mario Kart.

Yogscast DLC is peak, thank you SEGA.

the new mario kart is a complete rip off so i'm gonna play this instead

Fun cart race game.

im playing this until cross worlds comes out and i can afford it

I don't need all this "Team Sonic Racing" or "Sonic Racing: Crossworlds" bull crap. Ol' Allstars Racing Transformed works for me!

Best kart racer on the market - better than both Team Sonic Racing and Mario Kart, despite being over a decade old.
- The racing itself is fast paced, skill based, requiring drifting mastery to make tight turns at high speeds (Burning Rangers..) but can also be enjoyed casually while driving a bit slower.
- The art and animation feels lively throughout each character and track, showing clearly the immense amount of effort put into it, while also being hyped up by the narrator as you sail past opponents.
- I'm not usually one to finish the campaigns of multiplayer games, but this one stands out for its unique challenges which tie into the kart racer mechanics extremely well, while also genuinely improving your racing skills.
- The polished mechanics, aesthetic, and soundtrack make simply a great experience overall.

Absolute blast to play. Although I think the 1st has a better roster and more charm, this game objectively plays way better. There's a fine mix between unadulterated item nonsense and pure driving skill and it all combines to make an exhilarating experience.

The game looks absolutely stunning, despite it's age. I'm a believer in the fact that any game can look good no matter the age, and damn does this game push that. Looks great on every console it's on, including the 3DS.

The difficulty spikes in this game though are to be feared. The AI is ruthless and will stop at nothing to make sure you feel as much pain as possible, which can also be said for the damning Time Trials and the demanding World Tour (on Expert). Beating a really hard World Tour event on Expert is the best feeling ever.

Despite my few gripes with this game, I love it to the ends of time. Is the 1st one better in some ways? Yeah. Is this game objectively better gameplay wise? Yeah. Does this game have Burning Rangers? Yeah. Does the first one have it? No. Checkmate.

best sonic racing evah!
