![]() ![]() I was really excited to try this out and see how it goes, but unfortunately it didn’t work. You can (or should at least) face up to 4 players in single race or the “Battle Mode” over the internet from around the globe. That’s right, the game offers multiplayer as well. The reason why I didn’t mention the “Battle Mode” is because it’s not there. Some are nice, bright and colorful, while others (House of the Dead) will make you bleed from your eyes as you try to distinguish where the road meets the pitfall. Speaking of tracks, they come in all forms and sizes with plenty of variety between them. Every course you complete in every mode will provide certain amount of “SEGA Miles”, a type of currency that you can spend to unlock additional racers and tracks. Once you get bored, you can enter the challenge mode and try to complete some of the 25 missions available. Anyway, Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing for Android offers the standard Grand Prix mode where you can complete series of tracks on 3 difficulty levels and win trophies, the standard time trials and the single race mode. From here you can also visit the tutorial (Test Drive) if you really don’t know how to push the brake and drift buttons. The game keeps track of pretty much everything you do including wins, loses, favorite tracks, time played, longest drifts, highest jumps and stuff like that. As soon as you start the game you will have to create your driving license where all your data is being stored. Gameplay and Controlsįor those not familiar with the original game, let’s take a moment and explain what’s it all about. Finally, the graphics had to be toned down a bit as well, at least compared with the Console/PC edition of the game, outperforming only the blocky DS version. Sadly, SEGA decided to remove 7 characters and 10 stages from the original game, leaving only 13 racers and 16 stages for us to play with. That being said, manual acceleration has been stripped out, leaving the player responsible only for steering, braking and drifting the racer with occasional use of the power-ups collected. ![]() Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing for Android had to undergo a few changes to match the touch screen playstyle and eliminate the need of physical buttons. Nevertheless, as a long time fan of the original game for the Nintendo Wii, I was looking forward to try this one as well, compare it and see how well can Android handle the dynamic gameplay. The Android version was released a week ago on the Play Store and looks pretty much the same as the iOS version, so yes we are about 2 years behind (as usual). The original Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing was released for all major platforms back in 2009 and iOS users got their port in 2011. It’s about racing and wreaking havoc, collecting power-ups, piling up SEGA miles and improving your license. This time however, it’s not about running and collecting rings. SEGA has been re-releasing some of their popular Sonic titles on the Play Store lately, covering the platform genre nicely. ![]()
