Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed leaves Mario Kart in its dust…and wake…and vapor trail

VentureBeat writes: "This could be blasphemy, but Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed, publisher Sega’s new kart racer, may be more fun to play than Mario Kart, the series that invented the genre back in 1992 on the Super Nintendo system and has seen a release on every major console from the company ever since."

The first one was great, but this one looks like it fixed everything that was wrong in the first game... With a massive budget, and some new talent from the Blur and PGR and Split/Second developers... this might be the best so far!

Hmmm, I'd been writing this off as another one of "those" Sonic games... I might have to look into it a bit more though, the ability to fly and boat made me think of Diddy Kong Racing back on N64, and that is a VERY good thing.

I look forward to playing this game the last one was fun but it was no mario kart beater in fact one of the kart games i have played bump n burn, crash karting, mod nation racers, joy ride and a few others have not been as good as the mario kart versions even though ive enjoyed the other games too. But ill defo be picking this up along with lbp karting too.

I liked the first one. I was surprised at how much fun it turned out to be.

Mario Kart has already been surpassed by Crash Team Racing and Diddy Kong Racing.
