The first game tended to make a few different levels in each theme, but there are many more settings here. The tracks are more varied this time, too, both in theme and in play. It doesn’t take terribly long to unlock them all, so it gives you a bit of an incentive to try out different racers. Each character gains experience when you play, but this isn’t broken: levels just unlock character mods that tweak stats to lean toward a particular stat. (Some of the early unlockables include Vyse from Skies of Arcadia and Gilius Thunderhead from Golden Axe.) Even the non-Sega characters, seemingly-awkward additions Danica Patrick and Wreck-it Ralph, fit in just fine. The characters themselves offer more varied racing this time, and some are just fun to think about. Much like its predecessor, the game features characters from Sega’s past and present racing around franchise-inspired worlds and shooting things at each other. Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed is exactly that: a polished game with cars, planes, boats, tricks, changing tracks, mods, campaigns, battles and impressive online play. These were good ideas, though, and eventually a team was going to pick a lot of the best ones and make them a cohesive whole.
The action racing genre has seen all sorts of variations and attempts over the years, though very few of the experimental ideas in the rougher games have found their way to more polished experiences.
