How to squander the momentum and potential of your kart racing franchise: The Sonic racing story.

See, despite Sonic's kart titles existing in the shadow of Mario Kart, Sonic & All-Stars Racing: Transformed was a unique take; combining land, sea and air track design with a roster of Sega's greatest.

So, what happened this year? They dialled everything back, for no reason.

The "all-stars" were gone, reducing the lineup to wider Sonic characters nobody cares about, and gameplay is back to just four wheels on the ground again.

It's a bizarre back-step for a spin-off otherwise primed to deliver its best instalment.

We got something that felt phoned in to compete with Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fuelled (they even paraphrased the same name and released beforehand), rather than a product that would've soared, if given the proper time in the oven.
