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.

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?

PS5, and I think this closed beta was for PS5 only.

The game runs great, with a lot of stuff going on both visually and in the maps, as well as stuff being used by other players.

I had one network error during a match, and didn't notice a thing about visual or performance issues.

That's good to hear, thanks.

If you've played the previous Sonic racing games, did the handling feel similar to past games?

I'm having flashbacks of Nintendo announcing unexpected character for Smash.

I'm not complaining.

I'm actually interested, this looks really solid. Only problem is the price, I can't justify that for a cart racer and since I'm waiting on a sale I might aswell wait for a fairly deep one. I got the CTR remake for less than 20 this year and I have Mario Kart 8. Funny thing is, I would have bought this if it released at 59,99 and gambled, these prices have to be hurting sales on games that aren't as big as Death Stranding 2, Ghost of Yotei or COD. I seen Forza on sale for 52 so soon into it's PS5 release, a clear sign they aren't selling targets at 79,99.
