That review, while pulling a chuckle out of me with the "developers are on crack scene" pretty much became your typical "everything with Sonic in it sucks" review. Didn't taste like truth, more like hatin'.

Also, I hate the comparisons to Mario Kart that it gets. I'd say it's more in line with Sega Rally than anything else. It's a racing game. Not a "kart" game.

Oh please. You know full well what I meant.

It's a game that relies on actual racing. Not the use of items in an attempt to screw your opposition over enough to pass them.

IDK. I might have to give it a try again. Last time I played it was a few years ago, so my opinion may change.

If you do, go into it with the mindset of Sega Rally or something equivalent, and not Mario Kart. It's a bit hard, since it is a mascot racer, was billed that way in advertising, and the two slow ass characters do have bombs (they're completely useless and 90% of the time don't hit their target anyway).

A 3D control pad also helps, but it's still certainly playable with the 2D pads.

The overall idea of having to go stop and do something in the middle of a racing game disgusts me. Sure, if it were a racing based platformer, that would have been awesome, but the overall feel of it was more racer than platformer.Sega gets a D- out of 10. Yeah, that exists now. Deal with it.

What are you referring too? I never stopped for a single thing in the game?

Except for that single emerald in the factory level. Forgot about that one.

I think we've learned that the legendary Saturn 2 would have launched with Sonic R2
