Swi Team Sonic Racing - Team Sonic Racing for Nintendo Switch - Switch

I fired this game up for a few and my initial impressions are that I'm going to have a lot of fun with it. There is enough here to distinguish it from Mario Kart, which also presents a bit of a learning curve. The "Team" in "Team Sonic Racing" actually has meaning in that you need to be concerned not only with your own placement in the race, but that of your teammates' as well. You can swap items with your teammates and there are different teammate scenarios that cause speed boosts. I can't speak to the multiplayer mode yet. I thought the little quips from the racers was a nice touch (Amy's item hits me; "I owe you one, Amy!"). The voice acting is good so far in the adventure mode, but I wish they animated the character models when they are speaking rather than choosing from a set of visual novel-like still poses. When it comes to kart racers, it's important to have enough characters that appeal to everyone's desire for fanservice, and I took a quick look at the roster—my favorite Sonic characters are here! Yours likely are too.

Bought as gift for grandson's 7th birthday. He and his 8 year old sister love it. They played it all evening. Hours and hours. They are both quote good at it already. Their mother (28) played with them as well and had fun.
