The good, the game is GORGEOUS visually. Sonic’s worlds were very eye popping I will say Kraken Bay could tone down the bloom. Smears the image a bit. Other than that, genuinely it looks incredible. My heart was warm driving through Dinosaur Jungle. ❤️
The music slaps, the driving feels incredible one of the tightest racers I’ve played and not once did I ever feel out of control of my vehicle. Sonic Team did a solid job there. As they did with course design.
The bad, the English voice cast is still my least favorite thing about Sonic today. Not all of it was terrible but if I ever hear Sonic say Jammin again...
The online stability could also use some tweaking, there were times I clearly was ahead and crossed the finish line but still came in 2nd.
Now the YEEEEESH, holy shit fuck the items. Seriously. This isn’t as bad as TSR where if you got hit you’re at a dead stop, in this you’re just being BOMBARDED with items every ten seconds. My goodness the amount of times where I had a commanding lead from the 1st and 2nd laps to getting slaughtered
It’s almost absurd how powerful the items are and the screen effects when so many of them are going off in a pack you can barely see where you’re going. That needs to be balanced immediately following this test.
Overall, Sonic Racing CrossWorlds has unbelievable potential. It’s on Sonic Team to capitalize on it. Really hope they make some much needed changes because for a game in this state it’s great but there’s a lot of work to be done. Let this be the CTR Nitro Fueled of Sonic racing games.
I only did two races, and the items scattered around made it less enjoyable.
It feels like I get hit with something every four seconds.
I’m not usually an online multiplayer person unless it’s friends, but these items need cooldowns. Maybe I’ll have fun with the offline stuff when it’s out.

But other than that, the game is insanely fun! It has the potential to be the best of the Sonic Racers.
