Rad Gravity - NES Game (Retro Fam)

I recently purchased a Playstation 3 and was sad to realize that MarioKart (my favorite game) is a Nintendo brand game and not produced for the Playstation. After researching a bit I found this game, Sonic Sega All Star Racing, and decided to give it a try. It is seriously the only the game I play! (My husband plays the other games :) The graphics are incredible! You can play split screen with up to 3 additional players which is really fun but can be a bit confusing on some levels because of the vivid colors and all the moving graphics in the background...but that hasn't kept me from racing everyone I possibly can! The characters you can be are really neat, a step back in time kind of...such choices as Sonic, Knuckles, Tails, Dr. Eggman, and even the Street Fighter guys!! There are a multitude of new drivers and courses, along with music, that you can purchase from the game store using the money you earn while racing :) The money isn't hard to earn either so it doesn't become frustrating at all when you are trying to work up to buying something new, you earn about 2,000 credits on average per race with new drivers and courses ranging in cost from around 4,000-35,000 credits. The game offers a variety of racing types for single player so you won't get bored easily, you can do time trials, grand prix challenges, missions, and single races...all of which earn you points and trophies. When playing with more than one player you have a choice of different race types as well, althou.

It takes a bit to get used to what controller buttons does which function, especially if you have more than one racing type game. But, it was great fun!

The game was bought for my 6yr old sonhe was already playing the demo version available in PSN non-stop.The full version brought many new courses, players each with its own "special attack" (as my son refers to it), and he still can't get enough (because we don't allow him more than 1h play a day :) )The game is self explanetory to a 6yr old (that doesn't know english!) except for the mission game modes - and even that was easy enough to explain.gave it 4 stars overall because at the end of it, I am also something of a gamer, so for me the graphics is mostly confusing an not very attractive, the controls are less than ideal (I'm used to PC..) and the 4-track competitions should've been controllable.I think there's online gameplay - but we never tried it (if it at all works from Israel - but that would be Sony's blame anyway)

love it
