I thought to myself when I saw this title, Hmmm why would sonic need a car? Then I saw the vid and was like ohh. This game looks attractively fun, I never got any of these sonic racers. May give this on a try.

We run down our top five worst side kicks of all-time. It's not likely that you'll agree with them all, but you're certain to remember how some of these number twos bugged you at some point."
I would have Daxter in the top. He was ok in his solo on the PSP, but I never liked that "animal with an attitube" BS.
I actually found Daxter to be a pretty cool and funny character on the "Jak & Daxter" series.
Not sure why Slippy always makes the list, fact is, he was intentionally made as a crappy character.
Considering the average life-span of a hedgehog is around 8 years, it's no wonder that after 20 years sprinting on a diet of Starbucks and Relentless that Sonic needs some help getting around these days. A stream of mediocre to God awful transitions to 3D have left a small hole in his pension fund, and Sega can only compensate by giving him a small blue kart to do his weekly trip to Somerfield in. Give an ego driven blue maniac a vehicle, and no matter how old they are, they're going to want to throw down a racing challenge to all their enemies to prove that the roads were built for them, Sonic being absolutely no different. Dragging plenty of pals from other Sega franchises out from the tennis courts, it's time to see who's the fastest on the track when the playing field is level in Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing.
My kids gonna love this game. A sonic version of Mario Kart which probably wont be as good but either way its probably not gonna try to be.
