Sonic the Hedgehog may be known for his running speed, but that doesn’t meant that he isn’t afraid to hop into a racing kart and take on some of his best friends and enemies too. The idea of a Sonic racer started with Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing and was followed by Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed, both of which took characters from not only Sonic games, but the wider Sega universe.

8.4/10

Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is the latest entry in the series, and ironically, it lacks more elements from other Sega franchises to provide variety. The guest characters do their job of adding a touch of rarity, but some are paid content, not part of the core gameplay like Sonic & All-Stars Racing: Transformed. It borrows different vehicle types from the latter while adding portal travel during races and rivals as an extra challenge. Various unlockables and speeds to master, with a manageable learning curve, make it an ideal alternative platforming option…

Sonic Racing CrossWorlds offers plenty of arcade fun, especially in multiplayer. If you have friends over and are looking for a great racing game, you’ll find what you’re looking for here. Equally, if you enjoy online play, Sonic Racing CrossWorlds will scratch an itch. However, due to shallow progression systems, players may find themselves lacking the incentive to play more alone. That said, fans of the Sonic franchise will eat well here, since CrossWorlds’ soundtrack, as well as its literal tracks, are brimming with adoration for the blue hedgehog and his storied history.
