Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing with Banjo-Kazooie
Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing with Banjo-Kazooie est un jeu de course développé par Sumo Digital et publié par Sega, qui a été lancé le 23 février 2010 sur Xbox 360. Le titre utilise le moteur Sunshine Engine pour proposer une compétition frénétique vers le drapeau à damier.
Dans ce jeu, Sonic et ses amis s'affrontent sur des circuits situés dans des univers variés de Sonic et Sega, incluant des remparts de châteaux médiévaux, des forêts tropicales luxuriantes et des villes animées. Des personnages populaires tels que Dr. Eggman, Tails, AiAi, Amigo et plusieurs autres accompagnent Sonic dans des véhicules construits sur mesure, ravivant leurs moteurs et se bousculant pour dominer le peloton. Chaque personnage circule à bord de voitures, d'avions ou de motos, et AiAi utilise un véhicule en forme de banane. Le résumé officiel indique que les raccourcis secrets, une maniabilité rapide et l'évitement d'obstacles stratégiques constituent la meilleure stratégie pour atteindre le sommet du podium.
Concernant l'accueil, la presse et les joueurs ont exprimé des avis divers. GameShark a salué l'expérience en écrivant : « It’s a win-win for gamers with kids and Sega fans alike – finally, a Sonic game that you don’t need to be 10 years old to enjoy. » Gamestyle a émis une réserve en notant : « Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing could well have been a disaster for Sega, it could of seen them laughed at from all sides, with what looked every bit like a cash… ». Certains joueurs sur Metacritic ont également donné leur sentiment, l'un déclarant : « Sonic and Sega all Stars Racing is kind **** game the character roster is great the tracks is great and I have fun for this game », et un autre affirmant : « Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing is basically the ultimate love letter to SEGA fans and one of the few kart racers that actually gives Mario Kart a slap in the fa… ».

« It’s a win-win for gamers with kids and Sega fans alike – finally, a Sonic game that you don’t need to be 10 years old to enjoy. »
« Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing could well have been a disaster for Sega, it could of seen them laughed at from all sides, with what looked every bit like a cash in on Nintendo's success with Mario Kart. What we got though was not only a fine casual racing game, we have what is possibly the one of finest kart racing games since 1992. »
« Sonic & SEGA All Stars Racing may not be perfect, however it shines in all the right places offering hours of endless next generation entertainment and adrenaline pumping racing that even the mighty Mario Kart would be envious of. »
« Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing with Banjo-Kazooie isn't a perfect kart racing title, but it is very close and matches up well against Mario Kart Wii in that respect »
« All Stars isn’t an overly ambitious racing game and won’t turn the kart racing genre on its head. It has some minor framerate issues and the varied character selection is at odds with the less varied bevy of tracks. You won’t see this game fly off the shelves as fast as anything with the ’Mario Kart’ name on it, but if you are a fan of kart racing to any degree, you’ll find something immediately appealing in what’s offered here. »
« Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing is the kind of game that you expect to be yet another failed attempt to overthrow Mario Kart, but it ends up giving it a run for its money. It is certainly not as deep or as finely tuned, but it is definitely one of the better kart racing games to come along since the notorious CTR. »
« Bursting with modes, missions and mascots, it is easily the most polished kart racer of recent years, enhanced by Sega’s rich history and simple, fun gameplay. »
« All-Stars Racing is the go-to kart racing game on the Xbox 360. There isn't an experience like it on the system. »

« Sonic and Sega all Stars Racing is kind **** game the character roster is great the tracks is great and I have fun for this game »
« Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing is basically the ultimate love letter to SEGA fans and one of the few kart racers that actually gives Mario Kart a slap in the face.What makes it so great is the Mission Mode, which packs in 64 different challenges—like collecting rings or hitting specific rivals—so you’re not just doing standard races over and over. The drifting feels super satisfying and snappy, and the "All-Star Moves" are a total highlight. Seeing Ryo Hazuki clear the track with a forklift or Billy Hatcher rolling over everyone on a giant egg is just pure, nostalgic chaos. »
« I had a lot of fun playing this with my friends. Its no mario kart but it does its own thing »
« Great on the PS3: 9. Runs poorly on 360: 6. While the single player isn’t quite as great as it’s sequel Transformed, it’s still a must have for the characters that aren’t in it’s sequel. »
« The only good Sonic racing game. Yes, even now, even after they've spent this long trying. »
« Sonic & All-Stars Racing Is more Generic and Not as Original as Sonic Riders. However, The Amazing Gameplay loop and Nice Graphics make this game worth Playing, even if it Doesn't step out of the Shadow of The Red Plumber's Kart. »
« Sonic & Sega All Stars Racing é um dos melhores jogos da franquia de corrida de carro eu conheci os personagens da franquia além do Sonic e outros personagens da Sega o jogo é bem divertido tem vários personagens para escolher quando vai jogar tem poder de cada um dos personagens especiais inclusive do Sonic quando ele vira Super Sonic e muitas coisas boas eu joguei para emulador do Dolphin emulador do Nintendo Wii para celular ele é bem divertido e também é muito diferente com os gráficos e a jogabilidade também eu amo esse jogo e também esse foi o primeiro jogo que até agora eu joguei nos jogos de corrida do Sonic não tem outros jogos Mas na minha lista e na minha opinião é um dos melhores jogos de kart igual o Mário só que é mais melhorado do que ele »
