I'm avoiding seeing too much about the game.

Still looking good?

I like what I see; the gameplay looks similar to Sonic Racing Transformed which is the best in the series in my opinion, visuals look nice, track design is on point, can't see any obvious problems or anything that dampens my excitement for it.

Transformed was very interesting and actually impressive because of its mechanics, but I did like All-Stars better, mainly because of Opa-Opa being there, lol.

Thank you for the reply.



Applied to it so I got a code for the closed beta, will get to try it tomorrow or saturday whenever it is available here.

Nice, let us know how it is!



Played a couple times today and the game is a lot of fun.

To me the game controls very well, and it looks excellent, very colorful, a lot of great scenarios to race on.

It has some customization but it largely falls into the car type and character combo to get the balance you want, the customization affects a bit but it's purpose is mostly for looks or a little more stats split control.

The gadgets are cool, I liked trying most of them.

But there is a lot going on, a lot of items being used by everyone, I liked the items but it feels like you need some luck on top of skills to be constantly winning. I finished most races in between 3rd to 5th (from 12), but the ones I was leading I feel like I couldn't do much more to keep at the lead.

It's cool to be able revert a bad situation or get a win when it didn't look like it was possible, and to me as a casual it was a lot of fun, but I feel like hardcore fans may end up frustated by it. I feel this kind of game is way more about the fun/party feel so to me it was pretty much just fun all the time, tho.



This looks really fun! Seems like an alternative to Mario Kart for non-Nintendo consoles. It could be an altertive even for Mario Kart 8, but that's bad timing now with Mario Kart 9 coming. If it releases before MK9 I think it will be more successful.



Some extended gameplay from the beta test:

Cheers for the info!

I kinda prefer my Kart racers to be fun party games, so that all sounds fine by me.

Btw what platform was this on, and how was performance?
