yes, it's cheesy, but I love it.
Honestly, I agree.

Well, I wouldn't call it the best ever, but I do love it.

Its such cheeseball 90s pop, but I like it anyway. Can't help it.

I blog about games and art. Usually both at once. Check it out at your own risk.

I also really like Sonic R and its music. It seems like a miserable piece of shit at first but give it a chance and it's actually rather decent.

I actually liked Sonic R, and played it nonstop until I unlocked all the stages and racers. I agree that the music was awful, but it has its charm (Super Monkey Ball on the GC has a similar ending theme)

My biggest gripe about the game is the controls. I have trouble with the platformer controls (using the directions to run forward/backward/left/right) since it's a racer. It would have played better if it had racing controls (buttons for accelerate and brake)

Not trying to be rude, but, if you had read the manual (or this thread) you'd know that B is accelerate. :)

Also, use the shoulder buttons to lean into turns, the controls are actually spot on once you know how to use them.

No offense taken :)

Although I don't know about the B thing, since don't have a Saturn. What I had was the PC version. I don't remember any option to change the keys.
