Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed is a poorly named sequel to 2010's Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing. At its core, Sonic Transformed is a Mario Kart clone with a heavy dose of Sega nostalgia, focusing on many games throughout the company's history rather than just one. The "transformed" in the title refers to the fact that your kart can turn into a plane or a boat in the middle of certain stages, completely changing both how the vehicle handles and where you can go. The visuals are gorgeous, the callbacks to old Sega games are a lot of fun, and the soundtrack's great. In spite of all that, I actually didn't have much fun with this game.
