![]() ![]() Teammates can slingshot around other racers by following a golden trail left behind by a teammate and following it long enough will give you a bigger boost once you move away from it. In a Team Race there are several things you can do to help out your team no matter what place you’re currently in during the race. Speed characters can expel a radial burst that can destroy projectiles that threaten their lead, Technique racers can race over any surface without losing speed, and Power racers, while not the fastest, can drive through barricades without spinning out. Each racer belongs to one of three categories and each category has their own unique trait. ![]() Each racer belongs to a “team” and when you choose a racer to do a team race, you’ll have the other two members be your teammates. There are fifteen racers in the game from the Sonic universe which is less than previous games. For most of these modes you can play as a team (more on those below) or just as a stand-alone racer where it’s every racer for themselves. Offline you can play in exhibition races, Grand Prix, Time Trials, and Adventure Mode, while online you can play ranked or casual races. Team Sonic Racing can be played from one to four players and has several online and offline modes. Recently I was offered the chance to check out the latest Sonic racing game on the PS4, so let’s jump in to Team Sonic Racing and see how it stacks up against the previous games. I had dabbled a bit in Sonic Drift 2 on the Game Gear and played a bit of Sonic and All-Stars Racing Transformed, and that’s it, but I mostly enjoyed what I played of them. Beyond that I never played much of any other Sonic racing game. The less said about that game the better, though I retain my stance that the soundtrack in that game is awesome. This is why I was excited to pick up the PC version of Sonic R when I was in college. Sonic and racing are like peanut butter and jelly they go together perfectly. ![]()
