I plan to get this game. But not at $40.

Yet you will pay 50 for Mario Kart?  This game is every bit as good and fun as mario kart, yet it is not worth 40?  That make absolutely no sense!  This is what I can't stand, people get Mario games because of the name.  New Super Mario Bros Wii is fantastic and I love the game.  Then I also had Mario Party 8 and that game sucked.  It is a mind thing, nintendo is not the only company that make great games!

I'm with Mike on this one.   It's not that Sonic isn't worth $40.  It's that I already have a Kart game.  It's not worth $40 for me to have a 2nd one.   However I'd gladly pay full price for a Burnout on Wii, because it'd be a difference experience.    I still play Mario Kart.  I'm not so competitive the blue shells have put me off it.   As long as I maintain a decent ranking online, I'm happy.

If anything I'd get Sonic for the 360.

To be honest, it actually is worth 40 bucks.

At the bare minimum, you will play the single player championship cup races. There are 6 cups, 24 tracks. You have to finish in top 3 to keep unlocking them and you earn Sega miles which you can use in store to buy new character racers.

If you are good that will take about 2 hours...to get first on every race on easy.

Afterwards there is over 60 mini missions. They are very fun and have a lot of variety and challenge. You can unlock the next mission by earning the A rank but you will want to get the AAA rank.  Thats another 3 hours easily.

And then multiplayer is left. On the 360 MP is quite fun, if a bit simple. You will easily kill another few hours there.  A complete casual gamer will get 6-7 hours of FUN gameplay out of this game. A hardcore guy going after achievements will get another 3-4 hours.

Not to mention this is a game you can play with freinds in split screen at any time and is the type of game you need to relax from playing intense hardcore FPS games non stop. Playing this game in short bursts works best for me...30 minutes here, 40 mintues there.

So yeah, if you are a Wii user you can go with Mario Kart but this is just as good...but for ps360 users, a game like this is almost a must buy at 40 bucks. We don't get games like this very often.

Two reasons that I am hesitant to pay $40 for this game.

The first is Sega Superstars Tennis.

The second is knowing that all non-Nintendo games fall in price and I don't need it today.

(Conversely, Nintendo games rarely fall in price, which means they make LOTS of money if they sell forever).
