The single-player story mode provides a variety of race types, from standard three-lap events to drifting and ring collecting challenges, while multiplayer focuses more on traditional competitive racing.
You can also follow your teammates' golden tire tracks to draft behind and then slingshot around them. Players can help teammates in a variety of ways, from sharing power-ups they don't need to driving close to slowly moving allies to give them a speed boost. Points are awarded based on each team member's placing and then tallied to determine team ranking.
TEAM SONIC RACING SWITCH REVIEW DRIVERS
But races in both the story mode and local and online competitive matches see drivers working in teams of three, trying to help each other whenever they can so that all members of the team finish as close to the top of the standings as possible. It has familiar elements popularized in games like those in the Mario Kart series, including disorienting, gravity defying tracks, power ups that players can collect and use to stun opponents and defend themselves, and a broad range of familiar characters with vehicles that can be upgraded and customized over time with unlockable mods. TEAM SONIC RACING puts a team-focused spin on the traditional kart racing formula. Smaller TVs should be fine in single player, but 4k HD will be highly beneficial on larger TVs, especially playing split screen co-op. This game in particular has some poor depth color schemes in a few tracks and this is especially noticable in racing games in general.
TEAM SONIC RACING SWITCH REVIEW TV
We recommend a 4k TV for best performance as anything below that can be a strain on the eyes, especially the larger TVs where the pixels are enlarged and less defined. PS- Some of the tracks can be a little blurry and confusing, especially trying to look into the distance. In the end, unfortunately, this is merely a novelty game at best which is disappointing given the long drought of quality Arcade racers the past few years on consoles and the opportune window they had to turn this into something memorable that gamers have been craving for quite some time. Also with Mario Kart 8 being a far superior game overall and Crash Bandicoot Kart Racing coming out, this one will probably end up on the pile of mediocre Sonic games. Over all, this is a good game to burn some time with family and friends for a few hours, but I don't think it will hold most peoples interests for long or keep you coming back. All that said, it seems that the base game itself doesn't offer long term variety in the tracks or anything outstanding or meaningful to make them feel different or set one apart from the other, it just feels like a potluck of components mixed together in various ways rather than fully fleshed out and unique concepts. Each car is tied to it's perspective character and has performance stats that can be upgraded as well as several asthetic components to customize the look of your car. The racer roster is ALL Sonic characters this time,so no other Sega All Stars make an appearance.
The racers themselves are divided into 3 groups with SPEED type, a "skill" type that goes through terrain effortlessly, and a sort of "tank" type that bashes through obstacles. Aside from the novelty though, the rest of the game seems cut short in almost every other way, With just over 20 tracks and 12 racers, it all seems tame and unexiting once you've run the courses and become accustomed to the small variety of racers. THIS is unique and an interesting dynamic. The team concept and up to 4 player split screen is perfect for some couch co-op with the option of playing on the same team/ different teams or as individual rivals.
Although the game runs smoothly, the tracks don't feel different enough to make them much more than backdrop to similar turns and scenarios.
Past Sonic racing installments have had larger rosters and more unique feeling tracks.
