Absolutely blew my mind. I might have to rent this. I mean seriously, IGN gave a Sonic spin-off a good review?!

The and All Stars Racing part must have brought it up.

I already checked it out.
The ensuing bloodbath was horrifying. And guess who had to clean it up? ;-;

Cause the Tennis game was awesome, right?

Another reason some (most) of IGN's reviewers are casual fudgers

This game getting an 8 shocks me. Then again I kinda say "Fuck it" to the numerical system when it comes to reviews.

They gave it an 8 because it's good. Its not a fluke.

If you hate on it because its a MarioKart rip-off, need I point out Crash Team Racing? It's a MarioKart rip-off, And its BETTER than MarioKart

That's debatable, but whatever.

It must've been opposite day at IGN's offices when they reviewed it. IGN hates anything and everything sonic related, especially if Mario did it beforehand. So I'm just as confused as you are. Played the demo at a kiosk at best buy. It's a Mario kart clone. Controls fine, just replaced Mario with Sega. Nothing wrong with that I suppose, as long as it's fun.

Also, no blue shell.

I already know my Sonic-obsessed friend will be getting it, so I'll likely get a chance to try it soon.

I was very pleased with the demo. Like I said, it reminded me of Crash Team Racing, which was better than Mario Kart in a lot of ways.

Let's face it, Mario Kart is slow. This game and CTR are pretty darn fast, with this game being faster than CTR.

Regardless I won't have a chance to even play the demo until June. Is there a demo up on PSN already?
