Just started it; so far it's great!

I haven't played the original in forever, but it feels true to how I remember it. The exhilarating pace and more skill-based driving that differentiated it from the likes of Mario Kart are intact, and it looks and runs great on Switch; an excellent port.

Coming off May's rather average Team Sonic Racing, it's a big improvement.

What's your experience with the loading times. 20 Seconds on PS4 vs 50 Seconds on Switch would make hesitate to call this an excellent port, though I've only seen one comparison. Playing on PS4 the loading times are already slightly too long for my liking. However once you're actually in the race the Switch port looks good.

They are a little annoying, but not as bad as I was led to believe honestly, with a lot of people on other forums labeling them as terrible enough to be a total dealbreaker, which for me at least isn't the case.

Digital Foundry measured the load times from the hub into a race as between 38 and 41 seconds on Switch vs 24 on Xbox One X and 26 on PS4 respectively. So hardly ideal on any platform, but not game-ruiningly dreadful either. Hopefully it's something a patch can address.

Overall, they're certainly a drawback, but in my opinion outweighed by it running smoothly throughout and looking nice.
