Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Reviews
In conclusion, Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is a pretty fun game, but there are some details to consider, as it's not as party-oriented as the Mario Kart franchise . It's not just about choosing a character and going racing, but also choosing your appropriate car setup and also the perks that give you a level of support, but not to the point of being broken.

Since Sonic Drift came to the Game Gear, in 1994, Sonic the Hedgehog has been zipping about the place in a vehicle of some sort, racing with his pals...
Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds far exceeded the expectations I had for it. After feeling like Team Sonic Racing was taking Sonic racing games in the wrong direction, CrossWorlds is a confident showcase of what makes these games so appealing to begin with.
Despite a few minor setbacks, Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is Sonic Team’s valiant effort to compete in the arcade racer market; when your game contains an abundance of characters, maps, game-modes and mechanics all of the same calibre, it can easily go toe-to-toe with even the Mario Karts of the genre.
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.
Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is my favorite racing game this year - it's fast, it's fun and its creativity is only outmatched by its flair.
Excellent visuals with great performance, vibrant tracks, a technical driving model with quite the skill ceiling, a massive depth and variety, despite the not crazy amount of unique content just quite yet.
Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds may not have the polish of Mario Kart World, but it’s a Sonic racer that finally earns a spot in the conversation with the genre’s best. The mix of vehicle types and gadget setups alone give the gameplay a layer of depth that most games in the genre don’t really aim for. It has its grindy moments, specifically with Donpa Tickets, but the foundation here is strong enough that the fun outweighs all the flaws. For fans of kart racers or Sonic in general, this is easily one of the series’ brightest surprises in years.
Although the rubber band ai can get annoying like it generally does in kart racers, the fact that Sonic Racing: Crossworlds actively tries to give you abilities to combat it does help out significantly. And the gameplay is just so fun and there’s so much content in the game that it’s far from a game killing experience by any stretch. In my personal opinion, Sonic for now is the king of the kart racers.
Sonic Racing: Crossworlds delivered far beyond my expectations. It races ahead of the competition with dozens of game-changing Gadgets, many multiplayer modes, an expansive roster of characters and circuits, and the potential for endless mayhem thanks to all-platform crossplay. If you’ve ever enjoyed the Sonic Racing series, this is one title you’re not gonna want to sit out.
Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds fires on all cylinders with a fantastic roster, excellent courses, and lengthy list of customization options.
While I may have been left a little wanting when it comes to what CrossWorlds doesn’t do, everything it doesdo is tweaked to perfection. This latest generation proves that the Blue Blur is back in the big leagues, finally giving him the fantastic racing game he’s always deserved. With Sonic’s resurgence going strong, CrossWorlds is a well-earned victory lap.
The variety is cool, and returning to the original world for the final lap comes with some exciting changes.
Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is a well-crafted and remarkably flexible arcade racer with an almost overwhelming amount of customization and a whizbang portal-hopping mechanic.
Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is one of the most memorable entries in the Sonic the Hedgehog series, and it upstages Mario Kart World in several ways. Packed with chaos, fun and presenting a bit of a learning curve, CrossWorlds wins big when it comes to smooth drifting and air tricks that give you significant boosts. Extensive kart and 'Gadget Plate' customization enable you to strategize in different ways and fine-tune your style. While there aren't enough courses at launch and some items can feel overpowered at times, CrossWorlds makes a big splash as a multi-platform karting game.

"In a space where Mario Kart has been the only kart racer worth talking about for what feels like eons, Sonic Racing: Crossworlds stands tall as a worthy competitor. Beyond the flashy dimension-hopping, the gameplay doesn't reinvent the wheel, but offers enough quentessentially Sonic-style fanfare to appeal to veteran fans, while offering accessible, chaotic racing that will appeal to casual fans looking for a cross-console alternative. The rather uninspired multiplayer modes, the lack of satisfying unlockables, and the focus on a steady stream of paid content make me doubtful that this game can achieve long-term success. But, as far as kart racers go, Sonic Racing: Crossworlds is right up there with the best."
It’s not quite the same calibre as Mario Kart World, but those disappointed by Nintendo’s racer will find Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds an ideal alternative, thanks to its heart-pumping action and unique ideas that make it more than just a carbon copy.
With Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, Sonic Team has delivered its most dazzling installment, a game that prioritizes fun for all audiences, whether casual players or racing veterans. More juicy content would have been a great addition, but it still manages to be highly enjoyable both solo and with friends.

While it gets plenty of the fundamentals of right, the dimension hopping, character roster and some of the extra modes don't quite stick the landing. Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds isn't the best karting game out there, and thirteen years on from Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed, it's not even the best karting game with a blue hedgehog in it.
Given some of the recent marketing and with the way release windows worked out, CrossWorlds is inevitably going to draw comparisons to Mario Kart World. After spending time with both games, it feels like an apples and oranges (or F1 and NASCAR, if you prefer) comparison. CrossWorlds is good enough to stand on its own and even above previous Sonic racing games. Just put the car in gear and enjoy the ride.
