Sonic the Hedgehog series has a long tradition spanning more than 20 years based on karting cars aimed at competing with the most famous games of this kind that have dominated the industry for many years, whether Mario Kart or Crash Team Racing.

In Team Sonic Racing, playing with other competitors does not compete boring individually, it does not do anything, but in cooperation with two virtual characters, this is the essence of the game, where there are 4 teams competing together in each race with a total of 12 out of 15 unknown characters who may be your friends but It will be difficult to bring them together in a single server and the game is based on Sonic the Hedgehog games only as I found myself settling on famous characters with whom I spent many years in my childhood like Tails and Knuckles the Echidna and Amy Rose and certainly this is what everyone will do where you will see the instinct of the past emerge.

After a long absence, the series came back to us on the May 21 team, Son Son Racing, which is coming for the third time in Sumo Digital Studio development.

Gameplay

In an impressive way, Sumo Digital Studio was able to provide a racing game that forces the user to collaborate with his team in a distinctive way, as cooperation is the basis of the game and lend them a helping hand in the critical moments during which they are looking for any glimmer of hope, as the team decided to take a different path this time from During the focus on cooperative play to a large extent, which explains the name of play based on the three teams.

Team Sonic Racing provides races from the third perspective and a huge number of weapons and tools that can be randomly obtained through the boxes along the way, and track the impact of the vehicles to move madly or help him to avoid attacking other competitors and protect him from any imminent danger, all of these strategies are Implementing them during the race is completely smooth, which means that there are dozens of plans that can be implemented to turn the situations upside down and unilaterally take the lead whenever the opportunity arises.

There are 3 different driving styles distributed among the characters available to play whether tactical leadership that does not slow down the vehicle significantly and each of the three mentioned above get some exclusive elements that the rest of the groups cannot reach, which is what brings us back to the ability to exchange weapons that are necessary to benefit From the capabilities of the rest of your colleagues.

The individual play phase can be considered closer to a training phase aimed at introducing the player to the elements of the play style, teams, equipment and different tools. Fortunately, these instructions can be bypassed and addressed directly to the races, which is the method that I followed all the time already.

The competition

The title offers all kinds of competitions that any user is searching for in a racing game, whether online or individual game mode or split screen mode, which means that you do not have to win every individual competition in which you participate but you will need to cooperate with friends collectively to win, but in return you will need Those stars that you get for completing each challenge in the advanced stages to complete the story to its end.

The more successful you cooperate with your team, the faster you get the ability of Team Ultimates, and avoid all the obstacles that will meet you on your way suddenly without any losses in time, unlike the very difficult times competitors face to cross those areas successfully.

Players have the ability to compete exciting in 21 different tracks, the diversity was wonderful and distinct, each way provides its own atmosphere and shortcuts that must be searched carefully for future dependence in order to save a few seconds.

There are many options for developing and customizing the vehicle, whether the appearance or spare parts, some of which can be obtained by touching on individual game competitions, but these games take long search periods until you can find other players, but regarding the title performance on the PS4, the game worked throughout Time is approximately 60fps and 1080p resolution except for split screen mode which needs fixes at the earliest opportunity.

Conclusion

Sumo Digital Studio has succeeded in working on a modern racing game that takes you back to the past and takes you back to the Old Testament and is different from any other title that belongs to the same category regardless of the usual typical story that aims to advance in any way, and the presence of 15 characters, most of them unknown to players, problems Split Screen Technology.
