My first Sonic game was Sonic Advance 2 for the Game Boy Advance, and I remember sinking hours into it. Any Sonic game I've played since both brings to mind comparisons to the classic game, and makes me yearn for it. Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds was no different. While every genre and concept of track has already been done by the Mario Kart franchise, Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds found a way to keep its track design fresh and beautiful. If you ignore some of the half-baked ideas and focus on the idea that this is a satisfying and fast racing game, there's a winner here somewhere.
