Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed

This game got 26 characters each with their own unique(ish) car/boat/plane 13 characters are unlockable and require hard work to get to.

Singleplayer:
The "Campaign/Storymode" is good it's built up on 6 world tours which the player must progress through to obtain more characters and new maps.
There is 4 difficulty levels: Easy, Medium, Hard and Expert
Medium can still prove a challenge, Hard will challenge your driving skills aswell as aiming skills. And Expert mode will Challenge all your skills combined, a mode made for perfectionists.

Grandprix:
Grandprix is built on 4 maps unique to every Grandprix, 10 Grandprix total. 5 Normal and 5 Mirrored.
there is also Time attack and single race gamemodes for singleplayer.

Multiplayer:
The game has matchmaking, but you can also create your own only for you and your friends the game will automaticly select bots you can play against.
oh yeah and everyone and their mother picks Shadow.

Items: there is not a single weapon thats "unavoidable" even homing bombs can be avoided by drift boosting at a perfect time. You must rely solely on your aiming skills while keeping track of where you drive and who's near you.

Maps: There is alot of maps, all are unique and themed after older SEGA related games known aswell as lesser known games. The maps transform while playing and may shift from being landbased to suddenly flooded and then the new mechanics go in.

Transformation Mechanic: The transformation works perfectly, every vehicle class (car/boat/plane) handle differently and the player must be ready to switch tactic between vehicle modes. You can drift in all 3 modes.

Customization:
Each vehicle handles differently from the others there are a few parameters unique(ish) to each vehicle, like som may be good at Speed and Acceleration, but might lack alot when it comes to Handling. This can be shifted around alittle by leveling up the character you like and for each level you unlock a "mod" for said person like "Speed mod" which will increase speed but lower some of the other parameters, or "Balanced mod" which will try to even the parameters out. You can always shift between these mods before the race.

Drawbacks:
weird controls(especially for PC), even for joysticks (!! These can be modified !!)
if one player lags alot, the map might bugout and some places might seem closed when they really are open.(might just be a tempoary bug(05/02/2013))

It's an awesome game, I will be spending a great deal of time on this game every now and then. And if you are up to it then by all means Challenge me ;)

91/100
