Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Amazon Exclusive Edition – Nintendo Switch by SEGA

It’s a fun and often chaotic part racer. but also has customization and techniques that make for a pretty high skill ceiling if you are someone who enjoys optimizing your gameplay.

Sonic crossworlds is an incredibly fun racing game full of charm and player customization. The main game consists of 7 grand prix, each with 4 speed levels, and a secret grand prix which each consisting of 3 unique tracks and a final track which is a remix of the previous three. In these grand prix you interact with a rival that is randomly selected or can be chosen as a nice extra bit of charm giving characters the chance to express themselves. Theres also a party race mode which allows unique rules like teams and ring collecting matches and lastly a time trial mode. While there is no story mode or large single player focused open world style mode I have found myself, a single player focused person, having way more fun just playing though these grand prix races. Crossworlds tracks are all charming and enjoyable, the items are pretty fun, the soundtrack is great and the ability to alter your loadout helps in making your gameplay style feel uniquely yours. A quick example is equipping an gadget that makes the basic attack item, the boxing glove, be almost 3x the size while also affecting how often the glove appears in the item boxes. This allows you to choose a very aggressive style to pummel opponents or you could choose a very defensive loadout and try to secure victory with superior driving. Its simple but adds a unique flare to the game as a whole. Vehicle customization can be done quickly and easily or you can get a little more in depth if you so choose. The only drawback is vehicle pieces are locked to their type, so you cannot take a speed based front and add it to a power type back, or a boost type back to a handling type front, etc. You can however mix and match any pieces in the same category, even dlc pieces, and either color them with a characters chosen theme colors or manualy change colors piece by piece. While I cannot remark on online gameplay, I can say that Crossworlds is buttery smooth and the load times are fantastic. Best of all, especialy if you are a big sonic fan, its 23 character base roster covers a ton of sonic history from the chaotix to the babylon rogues and even some of the sinister six. All in all Crossworlds is an incredibly solid racing game that delivers a straight foward fun experience.

By far the best Sonic racing game in the series!! And yes compared to Mario kart world this one does a much better job at giving people a competitive 3 lap racer! It goes beyond just being a traditional kart game with the gadgets system, essentially allowing you to have differing kind of “builds” to fit your exact player style (attack/defense/speed etc.) for example. Customization for the karts is fantastic with more teased on the way from Sega, not to mentioned all the dlc characters and maps coming soon. Single player, split screen, and online play feel fantastic to play for anyone, this game is truly a full package well worth the $70 price💯

Very fun, especially if you’re a fan of Sonic racing games. Wish there was a story mode, The main solo part of the game is the Grand Prix with some locked for future dlc. They game is more focused on multiplayer racing, but with all that said still very enjoyable!
