One of my eyes is bloodshot to hell from playing this most of the evening. But it was totally worth it. I placed 11th on the Time Trial Leaderboards for that very first Billy Hatcher track. Go me! XD
Is it just me or are multiplayer races a little more fun with items off? I enjoy the havoc items can wreak, but a victory just seems to feel more rewarding when you know you win it by merit of you own skill rather than somewhat to luck. Anyone else feel this way or am I just crazy?

This game is just as awesome as i knew it would be. Seeing all the characters at the end of the Grand Prix just dancing and cheering makes me want NiGHTS in it more, lol. It's missing something purple that ain't fat or feline, lol.
Played it from 7pm until 2am yesterday. Woke up this morning an hour late for work! XD;;; argh
I love it, it's the game i've been waiting for for as long as i can remember. Sonic R on the Saturn kinda gave me a taste of what a Sonic racing game could be like but this is something i really wanted. Cool cars, SEGA cast, mad tracks, it's just awesome!
There are only two things that i don't like - Firstly, Monkey Ball. I really REALLY don't like the Monkey Ball courses. They're ..well ...just bad when compared to everything else in the game. All the other tracks have a nice flow, areas to drift and overtake and jump and stuff. The Monkey Ball tracks? No skill at all, just a mess. There's no flow to those levels, it's just a mad scramble around really bad turns and hope you don't get shot at or else you'll spend half your time driving in to a wall. Not fun. Never really liked Monkey Ball and now i like it even less, lol.
Second thing, just the variety of the tracks. Not enough series are represented. A ton from Sonic heroes take up the main course list and it would have been nice to see a history of Sonic tracks rather than just one game. Still, this gripe can be wavered as DLC can fix this. It would be wicked to have DLC of a bunch of other courses from different games.
The things i do like? ...lol, don't get me started. I'll be here all day XD Just a quick list though of a few of the things that come to mind real quick - - Ryo (he's so serious when he speaks, it's hilarious) - BD Joe (my main. dude is awesome) - Amy Rose (if ever Amy Rose needed a point to prove how cool she is then this game would be a point you'd need to use. Her car is styling, i think i've become a proper fan of hers now thanks to her in this) - JSRF courses (great pacing, love the music too) - The commentator's comment about Big and Cream. Win a race as Big, you'll see what i mean (innuendo up the wazoo, trust me) - The commentator's comments in general. There are some real innuendo driven ones in there. I wanna know who wrote his lines, lol. - Drifting (it works SO well) - The sunshine engine (the way it makes the courses just go upside down and around and twist and twirl. Just awesome stuff, really epic) - The attention to detail (the character bio's take little trips down memory lane and it shows SUMO do their homework).
All in all, this game would get a solid 9.5/10 from me. Only lack of course variety and those MUNKY BAWL courses are letting this down.
Oh. And the fact that NiGHTS is not playabe. But you'd expect me to say that, wouldn't you. lol.

Just got it! Played for a few hours, won the chao cup, bought some racers, courses, and music. Palmtree Panic and Super Sonic Racing have to be my favorite music so far, and so far. Amy has to be my favorite racer so far. *And Big is faster then Sonic (IMG: style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) * *Edit* I also noticed some choppy framerate issues on the 360, nothing big but there is a slight slowdown. I also won't have my 360 connected to the internet yet, ugh. So I'll have to wait to play online until summer.

I just got it on the Wii and it's DEE-GROOVY. It's smooth, easy to get into, and is just plain fun. My main is Ulala, and the graphics are so shiny and clear. The return of Sonic Sez is great, and who can't love Amigo's LSD Adventure? (IMG: style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Is there a dedicated Samba Di Amigo fanbase? If so, I bet theyre stoaked. This game has so much Samba fanservice.

QUOTE (sapphire @ Feb 28 2010, 08:48 PM)  I got it Wednesday. I can't stop playing it! And, I LOVE the Samba de Amigo levels. SOOO awesome. But still hating how every Sonic level is from/based off of Sonic Heroes. C'mon, who else would have loved to see a Metal Harbor or a Windy Valley level? I think Sonic Heroes is the most recent game with levels that are typically Sonic. You have the technofortress, the checkered hillsides, and so on. Final Fortress could easily pass as the Death Egg.

You can totally tell that Sumo likes Amigo- his levels are the most crazy, and his all-star move is hilarious.

QUOTE (viperxmns @ Mar 2 2010, 11:22 PM)  Anyone know how the sales figures are faring so far? To be honest I'm really backed up on games I want to get in general (need funds...) so I hope to pick it up at some point but it may be a while. I hope the game is doing well.
Edit: Apparently things aren't doing so hot at the moment.. : / Yeah, I heard that each system separately didn't even make sales over 25,000 copies in the US. PS3 didn't even get 8,000. I was disappointed! (IMG: style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) QUOTE (charlie @ Mar 2 2010, 11:13 PM)  I just bought it for the PS3! Can't wait to spin it up and start racing!
