I fucking love this game like you wouldn't believe

Don't you feel that sometimes we just need to run away?

I don't get why this game gets so much shit nowadays, I loved it when it came out. The races were fun, the graphics were beautiful, music was catchy and all the alternate goals for the races and unlockable characters were really fun.
Even the 'slow' characters like Robotnik had some cool features like shooting missiles.

It's a fucking great game, just has too little content. You can do basically everything in an afternoon. It'll be one hell of a fun afternoon, admittedly. Visuals, music, and stage design are all excellent and it truly feels like a Sonic racer rather than a different game series entirely with Sonic characters on top like later titles and Drift.

Not much content or replay value but the music is great. I had the music in my playlist for years.

I also think the claim that the games controls are bad are bogus, there's a brake and you're supposed to use it but that just seems unnatural somehow for a game that's (mostly) about running.

It has the unfortunate history of being a Sonic game to tide fans over until X-treme came out, but then never did come out.

I still have every track from this game on my running playlist to this day!

its a rather decent game i think, i always liked how for the most part sonic racing games were always unique(tho only really this and riders), really wish there were more racing games like this i can only really think of beetle racing on n64 and to a very small extent the motorstorm games

Because it isn’t fun. It’s only fun in the sense that it is so unbelievably floaty and terrible that it’s shocking to play.
It has a great look and that’s literally it, it’s one of the most terrible “racing” games in existence.

It gets a lot of shit because retards can't figure out that you need to use the L/R shifts to make cornering easier, or they trash it for having tank controls. Just don't use Amy or Robotnik, they are slow as shit.

And it had way more potential. Increase the draw distance and come up with some section-based auto-loading so you can seamlessly load new areas, and you could make it into an insanely big open world platformer instead of just a simple racer with 30 sec laps.

I've beaten the game at least 10 times, know all about tank controls, have all the collectibles memorized, so on and so on.

the game is shit. get over it. tank controls are the least of the game's problems.

>shockingly bad taste

It has entire wiki pages dedicated to the buggy, unfinished and loathsome mess of a game that it is. Metal Sonic and Metal Knuckles are the only fast characters. The only way to get some of the emeralds on some of the tracks is to wait for a few seconds to unlock one from a gate or a puzzle- in a racing game. The racing is terrible, the actual analog turning sensitivity is broken, and breaking doesn't have any sort of momentum-based mechanic, its practically instantaneous. It was SO bad, that no glitchless speedruns exist, because the any%'s are just easier to skip laps by going out of bounds (which could happen even if you didn't know how to do it on most of the tracks). The actual tracks themselves have no cohesion either, meaning they're more like small mazes than race tracks.

In hindsight they should've just built this one up instead of porting 3D Blast or even trying X-treme.

This.

It's an okay game if you just look past its obvious flaws and admit there's something weirdly alluring about it. Pretending it is actually good and criticism is unwarranted though is retarded.
