I've never liked racing games, as a whole. I enjoyed F-Zero on the SNES as a kid, but beyond that they've never had much appeal to me. I had more disdain for the cutesy mascot kart racing games, like Mario Kart and Crash Team Racing. So needless to say, when I played the original Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing, I was shocked. For some inexplicable reason, I loved it. Loved. I had so much fun with this silly little kart racer. So when the sequel, Sonic & All Stars Racing Transformed, came out, I KNEW I had to get my hands on it.
