Sonic hasn't been good in a long time. That said, I avoided the two cart racers with the Sonic and Sega name on them when they were released.Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed was added to the Xbox One backwards compatibility list, and the review scores were very good, with many saying it was equal to or better than Nintendo's Mario Kart series. Really?! Now I am interested!Because of Retro Fam's price gouging practices, any game added to the backwards compatibility list suddenly doubles or triples in price. This means Retro Fam currently charges $30 for a used copy, disc only, in a generic box.retrolio had it new for under $16.00! SOLD!I actually got it for my kids, but my boys, my wife, and I have all been playing it and enjoying it since it arrived yesterday afternoon. Four player and two player games are quite fun and looks awesome on a 60" HDTV. I remember playing four player Goldeneye on a 32" CRT TV back in the day, so kids today are very spoiled. The game is great. It's frustrating (in a good way), huge levels, lots of modes, old Sega characters and tracks based on their games, and fun unlockables. I highly recommend this game to anyone who likes couch games for the whole family and enjoys a good cart racing game... Better than Mario Kart??? Yes... Yes it is!
