Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed review

[Golgo]

It's all about Danica Patrick and the awesome HotWheels car in our house..bitter fights over who gets to be her!

Can someone let me know if any version supports fully configureable controls? Thanks.

[Yakumo]

360 version doesn't. You can only choose from one of the two preset control configurations.

[SCCAAMMM]

Typical Sumo Digital then. Thanks, Yakumo.

Great shows, btw.

Played some more and finished the Grand Prix side of things and unlocked dr robotnick (eggman)

Going to see how far I get and for those you have finished some of the boost levels on expert (S) to you sirs I tip my hat

Reckon will do most on A class but for S I don't have the patience

Can you play through the grand prix's in split screen?

[Atticus]

Just playing this for the first time tonight and I could kick myself for not picking it up at launch. Lives up to every bit of praise so far.

Can you play through the grand prix's in split screen?

Yes. You can play the entire game in split screen.

Will the PC version get Metal Sonic and the Outrun Circuit?
Since some console games never get DLC on PC, I'm having big doubt.

(I'm looking at you: Prince of Persia, Street Fighter X Tekken and Sonic All Stars Racing)

[Golgo]

^ I don't know but I wouldn't let omission of the Outrun track put you off. It's very poor - worst in the game imo. Has biggest invisible barrier in the game and most of it is spent bobbing around a confusing harbour.

[Dogg Thang]

Yeah I wouldn't massively miss the Outrun track to be honest.

Awesome game though. Was just playing now. The detail of stuff going on in the tracks is fantastic. The Curien Mansion one in particular has so many little touches and the monsters are great. Wish there was word on DLC.

On the positive...

PC EXCLUSIVE! Play as 3 exclusive legendary racers from Football Manager, Total War: Shogun & Team Fortress 2, each with their own unique transforming vehicle.

[Yakumo]

hahahaha, Football Manager, oh yippy! Actually, I think Wreck it Ralph on the 360 version is lame as is that woman Nascar racer. I never go those two. Why spoil a fantastic Sega racer with two nobodies? They have nothing to do with Sega. Sane with Banjo and Kazooi in the first Sonic Racing game.

By the way, does anyone know how the online ranking is worked out? If my son plays a guest and comes say 3rd place while I come first (as often is the case) do I loose ranking points because he is signed in as a guest? Also, how on earth are the match points awarded in Capture the Chao? Yesterday I scored 4 captures (higher than anyone) and my son got one yet he was awarded 100 points while I got -14 ???? How ?? Is it a bug?

Talking of bugs I’ve had the game not recognize the time limit when playing on line meaning the round never ends or at one point I flew right out of the arena then got stuck in the floor  There are many bugs in this game but yeah, I still love it. I’m hoping there will be some great DLC to come in the form of tracks.

I quite liked the demo of this and was just wondering if there was any phantasy star online related content in the full game? Can't seem to see any mention of it online :-(

The inclusion of the Wreck It Ralph character makes sense because apparently Sonic has a cameo in the movie (I've not seen the movie though so I don't know).

The Nascar character is a weird one though. I had to look on Google to find out who the hell Danica Patrick is, and I'm still none-the-wiser if I'm honest. One for the Americans, I suppose.
