While it comes short even compared to some of its predecessors, and can never be accused of being elegant or polished, this game nevertheless nails the essentials and is so overbrimming with energy and chaos that one can't help but be enamored.

Sonic Racing: Crossworlds is an excellent kart racer from start to finish. It's not just good for a Sonic game but arguably the best kart racer this year, and that's saying something in a year that gave us a new Mario Kart. It's easy to pick up, fun to play, packed with details for fans of the characters, and it remains accessible to newcomers. It's unbelievably fun to blitz around a corner, pop a boost, and rocket through a portal into a land of dinosaurs. If you're looking for a good racer, then Sonic Racing: Crossworlds is everything you could want.
Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds has a solid foundation but is lacking in content. You can immerse yourself in the excitement of racing, but the lack of a variety of racing modes, especially online, clearly detracts from the game's value. This, combined with the lack of a story, makes it hard to justify the $70 price tag.

Thanks to its abundance of playable characters, large selection of vehicles and neat Gadget Plate system, Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is one of the best kart racing games currently available.
In Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, there is no open world, nor does it seek to reinvent what we have been playing for years; instead, it transforms each race into a battlefield, where the most important thing is to never hit the brakes. On the other hand, the lack of content is noticeable: although there are enough tracks and the crossworlds add variety, repeating the same circuits over and over again can become tedious. Hopefully, over time, Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds will grow with new content and make the most of the licenses it has on its side. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds features fun, challenging gameplay, a diverse number of characters and tracks. There are also plenty of customization options. Multiplayer is the game's strong point, with a variety of modes both online and offline. However, the single-player content leaves something to be desired, becoming monotonous after a few hours. Furthermore, the Donpa Tickets grind is unnecessarily excessive.

Despite certain issues with the progression and presentation of its proposal, Sonic Racing: Crossworlds is the best racing game featuring the hedgehog that Sega has ever made, as well as a new benchmark for the genre.

Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds' strenghts are in its distinctly arcade feel and sense of speed, it's an incredibly fun kart game with a strong personality that clearly sets it apart from the competition. If you're looking for a kart game and don't own a Nintendo console, Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is the answer, but it's also a solid alternative for everyone else, with cross-play undoubtedly adding value to the package, along with the extensive post-launch support already announced.

Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds features some of the best track variety in the genre as well as a visceral driving experience that has you seamlessly take to the skies, water, and road. If you love kart racers, it's an absolute must-play.
In any other year it would stand head and shoulders above the competition. But in a year like this, where we can compare and contrast CrossWorlds with Mario Kart World so easily, its faults seem a lot more glaring. As it stands, it’s a very solid kart racer that has the misfortune of being compared to one that’s just more enjoyable.
I certainly didn't expect to say this, but after playing Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, I must say I'm very impressed with how much love and care this game received. I don't like to fuel the rivalry that many people say SEGA and Nintendo still have, but if I had to choose between this game and Mario Kart World, it wouldn't even be a competition.

In the end, Sonic Racing CrossWorlds proves itself to be an excellent racing game, full of content to keep you playing for hours. It secured its place on the Switch, and Sonic Team finally hit the mark — perhaps with the best title in the series since the spin-offs began being released.

Sonic Racing: Crossworlds has a lot going for it despite its pretty shallow portal mechanic. There is a huge roster of characters, a nice variety of tracks, to a robust customization system that can work in your favor. It isn't revolutionary by any means, but it certainly is a great alternative to the likes of Mario Kart, or even Nickelodeon’s own kart racer.
Sonic Racing Crossworlds is a return to form after a disappointing predecessor, bringing inter-dimensional travel to the race track and the result is an extremely fun title with a surprisingly vast amount of content to enjoy.

Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is a triumph. It’s not just the Transformed sequel we dreamed of; it surpasses those dreams. This is arcade racing perfected—boasting deep mechanics, flawless controls, and a massive heart. It’s a glorious love letter to decades of Sega's cherished worlds. Whether you're a die-hard fan or just seeking the definitive arcade racer, CrossWorlds is an absolute must-own. It doesn't steal Mario Kart's crown; it builds its own magnificent throne right beside it.

Sonic Racing Crossworlds successfully revives the Sonic kart racing series, setting new standards for the subgenre with its innovative track design, Crossworld system, and deep customization. The experience starts with polished gameplay, peaks with next-gen visuals and energetic music, and sustains engagement through online modes and progression systems. However, flaws like slow progression, unbalanced item pricing, and framerate limits on PC prevent it from achieving masterpiece status. Despite these issues, it remains an entertaining, well-crafted title highly recommended for fans of Sonic, arcade racing, kart racing, and multiplayer games.

Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is perhaps the biggest surprise of the year for us. Not because it's good, because it's genuinely great. Full of life, vibrancy, joy and celebrating the long history of the blue blur, this is a kart racer that's heavy value for its asking price. Unlike others.
Ignoring its live service nature, Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is another solid entry in the kart racing genre — a fun, straightforward, and genuinely addictive arcade experience.

The theme of traveling between worlds wasn't just a mechanic, it represented the idea of bringing everything possible (and more!) from previous titles to create the ultimate Sonic racing experience. All the development know-how from these games was put to good use, delivering robust and creative content, making Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds the best Sonic racing game and one of the best in the genre.
