About
Race across land, sea, air, and space in Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds! Warp through Travel Rings into new dimensions where something new awaits around every twist and turn. Speed to victory solo or as a team in a variety of offline and online modes and compete against players from around the world. Build the ultimate vehicle to match your racing style, unlock gadgets to gain the upper hand, and unleash power-up items!
Race across 24* courses and warp to one of 15 CrossWorld courses with Travel Rings, which transport you to a new course with special rules and challenges on the 2nd lap. Return to the first course for the final lap, where aspects of the track have changed. There’s always a surprise on the other side of the Travel Rings, and no two races are the same!
Pick from over 45 unique original vehicles and over 70** gadgets that let you shape how you race and define your playstyle. Gadgets let you customize all parts of your race, including movement boost efficiency, item chance, recovery time, and more. Build the loadout that defines you.
There are 5 character/vehicle classes to choose from: Speed, Acceleration, Handling, Power, and Boost. Within each class, you can further tune performance by combining front, rear, and tire parts, adjusting each stat to match your racing style. Top it all off with custom paint jobs, decals, and more to create your ultimate racing machine.
Choose from 23 iconic Sonic characters! From members of Team Sonic to the Babylon Rogues, Team Chaotix, and even the Deadly Six, it’s the largest roster in a Sonic racing game to date.
Characters have unique interactions with each other through the new Rival system, which randomly picks a character each race to be your Rival who will be faster, smarter, and more challenging. Defeat them for bonus rewards and even more special dialogue.

the perfect kart racer to turn your brain off and spam tricks way too visually busy at times + most of the soundtrack has these overly produced, seemingly tacked-on choral chants/barely audible vocals that bring many of the tracks down a peg that said, it's got tangle and whisper + a huge modding community, so that in and of itself makes up for most shortcomings it has :p
I Highly Recommend this High Paced racing game, due to it's vast array of character and new Guests and DLC Racers (which will be continuing to add more with the Second Season of Content.) it will fit anyone, whether it be A Sega Legends like Classic Sonic, NiGHTS, Aiai or Amigo, or DLC Characters like Spongebob or Mega Man, you'll be cruising well in it's high Speed Racing
Lets get the elephant out of the room first: This game just costs way too much even after nearly a year of the games launch. So I highly suggest you waiting for a sale of this game because at it's current price point it's a hard reccommendation for me and I seriously hope it's not a bad omen for future Triple A games. That said it's a really fun game! It's visually appealing, it controlls well, the gadget system is a very interesting take (even though some gadget combinations are way more powerful than others but even then you do see a lot of diversity after some balance patches). Track design is also really well done where I don't think there's really a bad track in the game, though some crossworld tracks are more hated than others. My only gripe: The item balancing is all over the place. There's times where you're at last place and get like only single wisp boosts (this games equivelant to mushrooms) and sometimes you see like three or four monster trucks at the same time. The tornado is also a big offender as I feel like it appears way too much and not only can it hit other drivers it can also block a lot of attacks aside from the ghost (this games equivelant to the blue shell), monster truck and drill wisp (games equivelant to the bullet bill) items and it can be obtained from the person in first place so what happens is sometimes people tend to get really far ahead just blocking stuff. The tornado should not be obtainable as frequent by the player in first place as possible in my opinion. Hopefully balance patches can fix the issues I have with the item balancing. Other than that it's a great game but too expensive for what it is. I'm still gonna give it a yes but only if you get this game after a price drop or a sale.
TOP DEMAIS
fun game with great controls and content, new things are added constantly so ull find urself booting it back up to see whats new. also even though its UE5, it actually runs great! Try to wait for a good discount (this game drops to 35$ on sale), i personally wouldnt spend 70$, but this isnt nintendo so sales actually happen
only played it for an hour during its free weekend, its really great on controls, the boat sections are lacking but I genuinely have zero problem with it. would recommend to anybody who have high specs for this game =D
Been playing since the demo and love the visuals and performance! But the new update forces an offline login wait, which is annoying. Hoping to see some new free worlds and circuits soon.
This actually might be the best kart racer of all time, the controls are immaculate, the stages are pretty, the tunes are bumping, it has a bunch of wild crossover characters along with a strong enough base cast. It just feels so right I love it.
It's a good game, but could of been better if it released one day earlier on by birthday.
