Based off a first impression and an hour of gameplay
Tutorial is overly long (not to mention forced) and once you get past that...the racing itself just doesn't feel that great compared to the actual Sonic racing games. There are also a billion different mechanics and I just have to ask myself what the point even is. Arcade racers are meant to be simple- steering, drifts and the occasional wrinkle in the boosting systems are all the greats (Mario Kart, CTR, Diddy Kong Racing, the Sonic/Sega racers) needed to be engaging. Meanwhile, this throws in spin dashing/odd whip system/four stunts with four different attributes...it just felt kind of ridiculous.
Just play Sonic and Sega All Stars Racing Transformed or even Team Sonic Racing. I understand this is a fan game and (of course) can't be measured up to the same quality, but personally it just felt way too off and I doubt putting more time into it is going to alleviate that.
