way better than mario kart 7 (which this competed with) and overall a really fun game to play alone or with friends. the og is still king tho.
good memories bit challenging at times, but overhaul great game
it's been fantastic since it released, need I say more?
I love this game, this game brings back memories because I play this game on the iPad before. Playing this on the pc is even better.
Does anyone understand why we're just putting "collection" at the end of the names of single-release games without updates? Someone explain these morons to me.
Good game, though. 7/10
I need help this game keeps crashing every single time i try to load it and i don't understand why
yogscast & danica patrick: the video gam
best mario kart alternative for pc
This is an amazing childhood game I have spent months playing back in the early 2010s.
It is a shame that they removed it from the app stores (at least from my standpoint), but this game is still as good as it was back then, and it offers different mechanics, features, and more that are different from other racing games like Mario Kart. This makes it a special and unique experience that overall makes the game more fun for me in my opinion.
I can confidently say without a care that this (especially when it is on sale), is money well spent.
crazy taxi man does mad drifts but is thwarted by team fortress pyro, sonic game good time, love sonic, great game, good time man yeah man shag birds.
Not as good as Garfield Kart :(
But it's like that newish lego racing game but budgeted and has TF2 characters so I give it a 6/10. Plus even though I may be in love with Garfield Kart, the physics in this game is 10000000000000% better than what GKFR could ever accomplish.
great game, would recommend
لا احد يشتريها لانه عشان تشغلها يبيلك 20 ملف و ونظام من عام قارون وفلاش من 2007 وماراح تشتغل بتجيك اعاقة عقلية
Great game, to bad is has almost no players
I must preface this review by saying that this is a 2010 game for 32bit PCs. THIS WILL NOT WORK on macOS 10.15 + and requires legwork for a chance at working on modern Windows PCs.
The PC Gaming Wiki helped me install on an ARM based PC BUT I have not been successful on my AMD based PC.
If you do get this to work, you will have one of the best arcade racers ever made.
You have a variety of vehicles and very stable cart drift.
If you've tried other racers, think of this as Diddy Kong racing featuring all sorts of vehicles, Mario Kart with all the characters but less of the random chance boxes that makes the winner lose, wii Mario Kart with balanced crazy maneuvering for certain vehicles.
I will really miss not being able to play this on my new PC, and I should warn customers that you should test it and see if you can get it to work on your PC immediately upon purchase.
Its a good game that i think is better than Mario Kart. Buy it
If you aint first does not mean your last. You do not always need to consistently score first place in order to win gold cup due to a rival CPU always scoring either 1st or 2nd place on all courses. It does not ask for perfection while giving you a decent challenge and even encourages a player to see it through to the end.
its rather fun. difficult,challenging sure, but it makes you feel like you wanna keep on going. plus,team fortress is there. so hell yeah
The most fun kart racing game out there. Playing the Grand Prix mode locally with upto three friends (4 players) is an absolute blast. No game comes even close, people would argue Mario Kart is better, but that's not on Windows, so there's that.
Highly recommended, 10/10!
It's not as good as the first one, but still fun regardless...(I wish Big the Cat were in this game)
I've been on a bit of a Sonic kick and have recently replayed all 3 of Sumo Digital's racing titles - Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing, Team Sonic Racing, and this game - and can conclusively say that Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed remains their best title. Compared to the other games, Racing Transformed's tight and snappy racing mechanics that can be hard to learn but are satisfying to master. It's the hardest game of the 3 in terms of learning to control your kart/boat/plane well, but it also offers a lot options to deal with enemies/hazards/turns and whatever else you may encounter while racing. I would not recommend this to people who haven't played any other Kart games because it's already hard to learn the basic mechanics of drifting/items/stunt boosts without throwing in how your vehicles will handle differently in the air or water.
For those who only have experience with Mario Kart titles, it can be a tough learning curve. There are no blue shells to fully impede 1st place players (instead there are Bees that can fully be avoided with appropriate skill) and there are no bullet bills to catch you up if you are falling behind (instead there are All-Star moves that can be obtained at any point between 10th and 2nd place which you still have to steer to avoid bumping into walls). The game generally feels speedier and more punishing than Mario Kart (although items feel less oppressive while still being useful). Once you do adjust though, the game becomes a fresh take on the genre and the transforming aspects help it feel less stale when playing different tracks. I do have friends that are fantastic Mario Kart players but struggle because your skills with Mario Kart do not fully transfer into this game.
For players that have played the other aforementioned Sonic racing games, Transformed is an upgrade in nearly every way. Sonic & Sega All Stars Racing's unique All Star moves are missed - this game has less personality than that game but is more balanced and consistent because of it - and those looking for a classic karting game might prefer that one. Team Sonic Racing is newer, prettier, and I do find myself wishing Transformed had a team based mode as that can be a fun change of pace and a rare moment for you and your friends to be cooperative in a racing game, but is a step back in every other way. The karting feels off, the roster is much worse even with only having Sonic characters (really no Cream/Chaotix aside from Vector/Babylon Rogues but instead we have Zavoc?), the tracks have much less variety, and the music is mostly forgettable aside from the main theme and Boo's house track that absolutely slaps. I still have fun playing it and have used it as a game to help others get into karting games as the team mechanic allows you to actually help them in game, but I was disappointed when it came out and really wish they did more with it.
As for this version of Transformed, the PC port feels dated to play compared to playing the game on an Xbox One or Series X with backwards compatibility. My experience playing it on the 360 back in the day was more consistent and the newer Xbox consoles only make it smoother. In comparison, the PC Port can be a little buggy, the title screen will always blow your eardrums out, you have to have all controllers connected before the game launches otherwise it will not detect inputs. I've had multiple friends have issues getting it to run on modern PCs and we lost some time to troubleshooting. There are even some in-game bugs such as the whole screen going white briefly that I have run across maybe 3 times in 60+ hours of playtime.
Even with all that, this is the definitive version of Transformed due to the roster size & continued availability over a decade later. The small issues that I have experienced don't hamper the game play noticeably and when the game shines, it shines brightly. I was lucky enough to get 7 people playing together last week and haven't had that much fun when gaming in a group for a long time.
I would rate this game an
8.5/10
- wait for a sale.It goes on sale for $5 frequently and it is a steal for that price. I would bump it up to 9.5/10 if the port was a little better and the last .5 if they added more tracks. Here's to hopefully many more hours of playing this game.
For those who have launch problems, go into the files and click on Launcher. Configure your controller and graphics how you wish, and then launch the game normally, but when it asks to make changes, always click "No" after initial setup, or it will reset your hardware configuration.
Other than that oddly specific launch problem, it is a VERY fun racing game with a bunch of SEGA's iconic faces and some crazy crossovers like Wreck it Ralph, Danica Patrick, Football Manager, and Team Fortress! Would highly recommend to any racing game and/or SEGA fan... or if you've ever wanted to see the Team Fortress characters in a racing game lol
Everything about this game is great, except for one thing. Expert mode. It is the most painful, tedious thing i've ever done. The game becomes completely unfair when it comes to expert mode. I don't understand considering that I can beat every mission on A Rank no issue, but when it comes to S Rank, All Hell breaks loose. The CPU's randomly gain speed, such as Amigo, who has one of the slowest vehicles in the game, managed to speed up right past me, and I was driving a faster vehicle then him. If you simply play on just A Rank, It's one of the best games ever, but If you decided to play S Rank, then it's one of the worst. 9/10 F Expert mode.
I have like 300+ hours on ps3 and only got it on steam for steam deck and it plays perfectly
This game is so fun its fast paced loads of missons/tasks so u cant beat the game rlly fast and its the best sonic racing game of all time 100% reccomend on getting the game the only problem with the game for me is the turning on the boat sections is pretty bad but apart from that the game is good
W Game Because My Boi Metal Sonic Is In it :)
Final Rating: 9/10
Gameplay
At its core, is a kart racer, but it distinguishes itself with the addition of transforming vehicles. Depending on the track and the section of the race, your vehicle will morph from a car to a boat or a plane, adding an extra layer of strategy and excitement. This mechanic sets the game apart from other kart racers by offering diverse racing conditions and forcing players to master different types of terrain: land, air, and water.
The game's handling is tight and responsive, with each vehicle type feeling distinct. Cars handle with traditional racing mechanics, planes allow for more verticality and freedom of movement, and boats introduce the challenge of managing water physics, making each lap dynamic as the terrain shifts. This constant transformation keeps the races fresh, as you’re forced to adapt to changing environments and controls on the fly.
Tracks and Level Design
One of the highlights of Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed is its track design. The courses are inspired by classic Sega franchises, with each track designed to reflect the unique aesthetics, environments, and themes of the respective games. You'll race through stages based on Sonic the Hedgehog, Panzer Dragoon, Super Monkey Ball, Jet Set Radio, and many more.
The tracks themselves are dynamic, changing with each lap. Bridges collapse, new routes open up, and the terrain shifts, forcing players to adapt and plan ahead. These dynamic elements keep the tracks engaging and unpredictable, while also providing a nostalgic trip for long-time Sega fans.
Character Roster and Transformations
The roster in Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed is an impressive mix of Sega icons, with characters spanning across decades of gaming history. Players can race as Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles, but the game also features lesser-known Sega characters such as Vyse from Skies of Arcadia, Beat from Jet Set Radio, and even Wreck-It Ralph and Danica Patrick as guest racers. Each character has their own All-Star Move, a special ability that gives them a temporary boost or advantage during races.
What truly makes each character stand out is the transformation mechanic. Each racer has their own unique vehicle design for cars, boats, and planes, which helps maintain visual diversity throughout the game. The transformation animations are smooth and fast, and the vehicles themselves feel distinct between characters, adding to the overall depth of the racing mechanics.
However, the inclusion of guest characters like Wreck-It Ralph or real-life NASCAR driver Danica Patrick may feel a bit out of place to some players, especially those who are looking for more Sega-themed characters. While these additions are fun for casual fans, some hardcore Sega enthusiasts might have preferred deeper cuts from the company’s rich history.
Game Modes
Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed offers a variety of game modes that cater to different playstyles. The World Tour mode serves as the game's primary single-player campaign, where players can race through different challenges and unlock new characters, tracks, and vehicle mods. The World Tour mode is well-structured, with varied mission types that go beyond traditional races. Players are tasked with completing time trials, taking out targets, or surviving waves of enemies in addition to standard racing. This variety keeps the single-player mode engaging, although the AI can feel inconsistent at times—sometimes too easy or frustratingly difficult.
The game also features Grand Prix, Time Attack, and Single Race modes, providing plenty of options for players who prefer more traditional races. Grand Prix is a series of cup challenges, similar to other kart racers, where players compete in multiple races to earn points and climb the leaderboard.
Multiplayer, both local and online, is where Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed truly shines. The game supports up to four players in split-screen and up to 10 players online. Races are fast, competitive, and chaotic, with the transformation mechanic adding a unique twist to multiplayer mayhem. The online experience is generally smooth, but depending on the platform, matchmaking can take longer, particularly on older systems. However, once in a race, the action remains fluid and competitive.
Graphics and Performance
Visually, Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed is a vibrant and colorful game, with detailed tracks and lively environments that bring Sega's history to life. The art direction captures the essence of each franchise perfectly, whether it's the futuristic landscapes of After Burner or the whimsical worlds of Super Monkey Ball. The transformation animations are fluid, and the vehicle designs are fun and fit each character's personality.
The performance on most platforms is solid, with stable frame rates, even when the screen is filled with chaos. However, older platforms, such as the PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360, occasionally suffer from minor frame rate dips or texture pop-ins during intense moments. On the other hand, the PC version runs particularly well, offering the highest graphical fidelity and frame rate stability. The Nintendo Switch version of the game, while visually downgraded, maintains good performance for handheld play, making it a solid option for portable racing.
Replayability and Time Commitment
Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed offers plenty of replayability thanks to its diverse character roster, varied track designs, and multiple game modes. Unlocking all the characters, vehicle mods, and completing the World Tour mode’s various challenges will keep players engaged for hours. The multiplayer modes, both online and local, add even more longevity to the game, as racing against friends or competing online offers a different experience every time.
Conclusion
Is a fantastic kart racing game that stands out from its competition, thanks to its innovative transformation mechanics and its rich homage to Sega’s storied history. The diverse roster of characters, beautifully designed tracks, and engaging gameplay mechanics make it one of the best alternatives to more popular kart racers like Mario Kart. The ability to seamlessly switch between land, sea, and air adds depth and excitement to each race, ensuring that no two laps feel the same.
While the game’s difficulty spikes in single-player mode and the inclusion of non-Sega guest characters may detract slightly from the experience, Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed remains a must-play for fans of kart racing and Sega enthusiasts alike. With smooth multiplayer modes and plenty of content to unlock, the Transformed Collection offers hours of entertainment for both casual players and competitive racers.
Pros:
• Innovative transformation mechanic adds depth and variety to races.
• Beautifully designed tracks based on iconic Sega franchises.
• Tight, responsive controls and satisfying boost system.
• Fun and competitive multiplayer, both local and online.
Cons:
• Difficulty spikes in single-player mode can be frustrating.
• Some guest characters feel out of place in the Sega-themed roster.
• AI inconsistency, occasionally feeling too easy or overly difficult.
Final Rating: 9/10
Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed Collection is a superb kart racing experience that offers a fresh take on the genre with its dynamic, transforming vehicles and nostalgic nods to Sega’s vast game library. It’s an excellent choice for racing fans looking for something different from traditional kart racers, and it’s packed with enough content and variety to keep players engaged for the long haul.
i originally got this game back in 2012 for the xbox 360 and i remember absolutely loving it
playing it again 12 years later and i still love it. it’s a solid racing game with many engaging quirks and mechanics, and a kickass soundtrack to pair
I’m glad all these years later I got around to finishing my favourite kart-racer campaign out there. The variety of stages, missions & characters is unparalleled, while multiplayer is still a great way to pass time with friends
i don't know half these characters but the game is awesome
Great kart racing game from the Sonic series! Lots of characters from Sega. Probably the best Sonic racing game ever made.
Solid racer, enjoyed this title when I was younger and was playing this on the 360. Wish they would keep up with the Sonic And All Stars series.
The mechanics of this game are also pretty good and is enjoyable to play with. Mastering this game feels satisfying.
Probably the best Sonic racing game we've ever had, as Team Sonic Racing felt a bit bland.
One of my favourite racing games, better than Mario Kart lol
Great game. Super fun. Unique take on the cart experience. The different modes for each vehicle are great.
This game is the best Kart racer out there!
From the physics and powers to the soundtrack and even the announcer, Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed delivers in almost all aspects! Each of the 30+ Characters has upgrades that allow for customizing your racing experience. Each character has unique "All-star" moves that spice up gameplay when you least expect it, that an each character also has their own unique voicelines (though some of them are ripped from other media).
The only downsides to this game are that the tracks' collision can get dicey in some parts especially if you're the type to do tricks and drift-boosts whenever possible, that, and the fact that this game can get notoriously difficult on some tracks.
Overall though, good game!
Game is of high quality, but no upgrades during career make it less repeat-worth.
I absolutely love this game to death!!! I had this growing up on the wii u and even then I put way much more hours into this game then I did Mario Kart 8. I'm glad I picked this up as with the pc port you get some extra characters that are pc exclusive. For a kart racer that came out in the 2010's that was obviously trying to rival mario kart it is a banger it even does the land, air, and water aspect of the game way better. The tracks are all fun and unique and the game modes on the campaign are also all fun I would highly recommend this game as I think it's the best sonic racing game
PEAK GAME no questions ask and also I wished TSR was this way, but with custom paint jobs! and Some Soundtracks along with it remixed! that's my opinion lol.
not played much but honestly a pretty good racing game! not sure if this is better than mario kart or not but it is a really fun game! cant get the yogscast dlc tho.
the game said online but no online how can i with friends):
A lot of problems to start the game + Controller doesnt support remote plays (gotta do some indepth tweak to make it work and some third program)
Physics break, the AI hates you, Has a chance of crashing when you click out of the game. The concept is cool but the execution is way off the mark.
It kinda feels like a challenging arcade cabinet game that got ported to the PC last minute.
Played this with the kids years ago on the Xbox 360. Playing again with them now - and it's lost none of it's charm or thrill. Maps are beautifully crafted and visually stunning, and it looks so fresh despite its age.
Did require some fiddling to get it to run on my PC (Windows 11) - but fortunately there's a great source of fixes here:- https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Sonic_%26_All-Stars_Racing_Transformed - for me, switching to Windows 7 compatibility solved everything.
better than mario kart like 10 times over. i did not expect for a $5 kart racer to blow me away like this.
oh and also heavy, pyro, and spy from tf2 are playable characters. 10/10.
if you are a car fan and sonic fan this is for you
Game immediately crashed on the 3 lap of my first game. Wonderful experience, truly SEGA's seal of quality
The game is fun, especially split screen with friends, but even after multiple hours of troubleshooting it, I was unable to make the game run on win 11. Can't play it anymore, so the thumb is down.
Its nice and fast. The transform mechanic works amazing. This game is about 20x better than any Mario Kart game I've ever played, and I love Mario kart.
It's racing, It's better than Mario Kart. Just remember to switch that compatibility to Windows 7 under the Properties setting.
The Configuration for the game no longer launches on Windows 11
