My girlfriend isn't much of a gamer, but she always sees me gaming on my Xbox or PC, so i guess she wanted a little something for herself too. When she was young, she had an N64 and Mario Kart was one of her favorite games. I did my research in search of a game for her that she'd like, and i ran into this one. I saw it and i said, okay we're getting somewhere. Then i read as many reviews as possible throughout multiple websites, and encountered nothing but positive feedback on this game.
I can say that this game is Fun & Beautiful. It's pretty much Mario Kart, but Sonic (as good or maybe even better). The buttons are extremely easy and to the point. After every race you earn i think it's called "Sega Points/Cash", and with those Sega points you can go into the Sonic Racing Store and unlock/buy New Maps, Characters, & more Soundtracks (it gives you something more to play for). There are SO MANY Characters & fun Maps to choose from, so the variety is there. The detail & atmosphere in each level is admirable, the designers did a beautiful job detailing and animating the maps. Besides the classical "Race" mode, there are many other fun game types with an objective that are available to play. This game is complete: many characters, many & beautiful maps, up to local 4-player split screen, 8-player Xbox Live to play with other people around the world, etc.
Two of my good friends were over my house on Friday night (and we're hardcore gamers), and we actually sat down for 2 hours playing this game and unlocking more characters & maps... it was fun.
Overall, my girlfriend loves this game, and i enjoy it a lot myself. So if you're looking for something fun for the kids, maybe even for your girlfriend, or if you have Mario Kart nostalgia... i can 110% recommend this game, it's nothing but a great game.

About this item
In a frantic battle to the checkered flag, Sonic and friends speed around tracks set in mediaeval castle ramparts, lush rainforests and bustling cities, all taken from the visually rich and varied universes of Sonic and SEGA.
Secret short cuts, swift handling and avoiding strategically placed obstacles are certainly the best way to get to the top of the podium…
Each character has a specific All Star move – such as Super Sonic, Banana Blitz and Tails Tornado – that allows a quick way for competitors to get back into the race!
Power ups and weapons can also be collected around the tracks and used against the opposition to ensure they don’t become a threat to that number one position.
Battle it out in single or multiplayer mode, allowing up to four friends to race in frantic split-screen action, or up to eight players to compete online in the ultimate racing showdown.
