Overview:
Quietly building a long lineage of racing titles under the characters belt, Sonic has built up an impressive number of games but with a wide variation on quality and approaches to delivering the high speed experience. Starting with the Drift games, things raced off the starting line in a very traditional karting based style before the Sega Saturn played host to the ambitious on foot title Sonic R. Often referred back to in Sumo Digitals later additions, this title remains locked to its host platform (barring its old PC port) and pre-dated a trilogy of mobile phone racers. Eventually Sumo stepped in and Sonic stepped back in vehicles for the All-Star games that lead into this years Team Sonic Racing. The outlier here being the Riders games, a trilogy of titles based on hoverboarding races for the characters.
