Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Sets the Stage as a Serious Contender to Mario Kart

Recently, SEGA released a single-player demo of Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds and lifted the embargo on final reviews. It turns out that most journalists are pleased with the new Sonic karting game, which boasts an average rating of 83 on Metacritic and 84 on OpenCritic, with a recommendation score of 97%.

Media representatives have even suggested that CrossWorlds might be a formidable rival to Mario Kart, praising its fun gameplay, diverse tracks, and rich content. The main criticisms were directed at the less-than-intuitive controls and sound design, which suffered from a cacophony of various noises during races.

Here’s what the final reviews have to say:

Jada Griffin

Michael Grygorcewicz

Michael Beckwith

Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds will launch on September 25 for PC (Steam, Epic Games Store), PlayStation, Xbox, and Switch, featuring Russian text localization.
