Has Anyone Bought Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing Yet?

[Phillyman]

I am thinking of picking up Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing for the Nintendo Wii this weekend. While I love Mario Kart Wii, I feel like I need something different every once in a while. Its ashame that ExciteBots Trick Racing was only a 2 player game...as it would have probably kept things interesting. Anyways this looks to just be a complete clone of Mario Kart Wii, just with Sega characters.

I am hoping that it controls the same way as Mario Kart, with the Wii Wheel. I really shouldn't spend another $40 on a game, as I just spent $20 last night on Virtual Console games (Super Mario Kart, Kirby Adventure, Super Metroid) Plus I have a huge ass backlog of games to play right now. So anyone get a chance to play this yet, or pick up a copy?

Oh F*** Yeah! I'm gonna rent it before I purchase it. The Wii version is the best out of the three versions, then XBox 360 and PS3.

The reviews are better than I expected too. Gamespot is giving it I think 8.3 and readers average is at 8.2. I hate the name Sega & Sonic All-Star Racing but I have been waiting for months for it to be released.

It's a good thing you posted this because I probably would have forgot.

I played the 360 demo. Apart from Sonic being the slowest character in the game, it was okay. I am not a big fan of kart racing, but I found this game less annoying than Mario Kart Wii. But I don't think I will be picking it up. The only kart racing game I might get in the future is Mod Nation Racers for the PS3.

I've been eying it since I started following all the Sonic 4 stuff. I'll probably rent the Wii version tonight and get back to you with my thoughts.

Almost got it today. But decided to get a 360 elite system instead. My box was not working very well anymore so now I have a bigger HDD and it reads discs.

I bought the PC version today and had a go. There are alot of levels and characters to choose from old Sega franchises. This definitely holds up against the Mario Kart franchise in terms of gameplay and the Sega universe is a nice change as well. I'm gonna get alot of use out of this game.
