Site News: So, Where’s Our Team Sonic Racing Review?

<p>Sega’s long-awaited <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/nintendo-switch/team_sonic_racing"><strong>Team Sonic Racing</strong></a> hits the Switch (as well as other formats) next week, and you may have noticed that reviews have appeared online today thanks to the embargo ending. However, we don’t have a review going live because, at the time of writing, we don’t have Team Sonic Racing. It’s kind of hard to have one without the other.</p>
<p>In fact, we’ve been told by Sega that we won’t have the Switch version of the game until launch day – which puts us in the same boat as you guys. Taking that into account, our review of the game is naturally going to go live post-launch, which is something we don’t like doing, but – as you can appreciate – is out of our hands in this particular instance.</p>
<p>For what it’s worth, the game seems to be getting fairly positive reviews on other formats. <a href="https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2019-05-17-team-sonic-racing-review-smart-spin-on-the-character-kart-formula">Our friends over at Eurogamer gave it a ‘Recommended’ award</a>, saying it’s “a smart spin on the character kart formula”.</p>
<p><a class="external" href="https://www.pushsquare.com/reviews/ps4/team_sonic_racing">Our sister site Push Square gave it 7/10</a>, adding that “it might be lacking the wow factor SEGA’s other IPs brought to Sumo’s other racers, and it’s a shame performance is a little rocky, but this is a good option for PS4 players who want some arcadey thrills“.</p>
<p><a class="external" href="https://uk.ign.com/articles/2019/05/17/team-sonic-racing-review">IGN gave it a 8.5 score</a>, stating that “Team Sonic Racing adds a creative twist on the arcade racer with its exciting team-based mechanics that put strategy and precision at the forefront alongside blistering speeds across mesmerizing tracks“.</p>
<p><a class="external" href="https://www.gamesradar.com/team-sonic-racing-review/">GamesRadar+ was less kind, awarding the game 2.5 stars out of 5</a> and lamenting the fact that it “doesn’t stand up to other kart racers today”. Ouch! To be fair, that’s the harshest review so far, and something of a lone voice.</p>
<p>Naturally, those reviews aren’t based on the Switch version of the game, which we’ll be getting our hands on once it’s available in stores. Just like you!</p>
