Team Sonic Racing Review # 3

There are only three classes in Team Sonic Racing: high-speed, technological and power. The first one can shoot down volatile projectiles, the other can drive on various surfaces, and the latter can destroy fences. All tracks are built taking into account the characteristics of the classes, but at the same time they do not greatly affect the result, and therefore is not mandatory.

Why is the campaign just a minor innovation? Yes, because it is poorly made. All cutscenes are static images where a character appears on the right or left and a cloud with text. It's good that this text is at least voiced. The story itself seems to be intended only for children - just appreciate this dialogue. And it seems that the developers understood that it was not working out the way it should, because they gave the opportunity to launch story races, skipping all the dialogue scenes. However, the plot of such games is not really needed, so you can just close your eyes to it.

The campaign structure is similar to the World Tour mode from the previous part, only it is implemented less hardcore. Anyone who went through Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed should remember that to complete this mode, you had to collect all the stars, and to collect all the stars, you had to complete all the competitions at the "Expert" difficulty level - and it wasn't easy at all. Team Sonic Racing also has stars, but they are given not for the difficulty level, but for racing results and for special tasks such as completing a race without using bonuses and the like. However, the story mode is more boring because: in Transformed, the tracks were very different and did not bother, and Team Sonic Racing, as always, the same thing; in Transformed, there was a motivation to go through the World Tour to discover new characters, and in Team Sonic Racing there are so few of them, so there is nothing to play.

Perhaps multiplayer is worth paying attention to? Oddly enough, yes. Online is really well organized: ranking races, team races, competitions with modifiers, and the like. But none of this makes sense if there are no players, and on PC, multiplayer is almost dead. The maximum online score in recent days is 154 players, and in Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed seven years ago, 104 players over the same time.

You can compare Team Sonic Racing for a long time: some modes are missing, fewer animations, not very good visualization of bonuses, and the like. Perhaps that's why music with a rather bright main theme stands out well against this background.

If Team Sonic Racing had been the first game in the series, there would have been no complaints, but the developers didn't have to develop the mechanics, they had a lot of work behind them, and as a result we got a game that falls short of its predecessor and is not cheap.
