Sonic's third racing game first appeared on the Sega Saturn and then later the PC. It consisted of nine racers. Four (Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Amy) were default racers. The other five (Eggman, Metal Sonic, Tails Doll, Cyber Knuckles, and Egg Robo) had to be unlocked. SOuncs like a great game so far. You begin to play. Wow. Crisp graphics, amazing environments, long detailed levels and the control is easy and fun. But the most important strong point is that Sonic R has one of the most kick-ass game soundtracks EVER. This game still sounds awesome, right? Well all that is thrown down the drain when you find out that you have an almost non existent story line and only five levels. That gives this game little replay value. There is four different modes in both time trial and multi-player but it isn't enough to redeem the lack of play time (we're talking two hours or less to unlock everything and beat the game). If you still have a Saturn or you own a PC I'd say watch out for this one in bargain bins.
