- TriviaThis is the third racing game starring Sonic, after Sonic Drift (1994) and Sonic Drift 2 (1995). However, only this one is considered a true Sonic game; whereas kart racers are pretty much the same no matter which franchise is being used, Sonic R has elements you could only expect to see in a Sonic title.

Featured review
Sonic R is a fun game, which, contrary to that one guy's belief, was for the Sega Saturn and then ported to the PC later. There is a good variety of tracks with multiple routes you unlock by collecting rings. The racers each have their own stats and advantages, and the graphics are quite good for the Saturn. The music is excellent, complete with vocals. If there is one thing I would say I don't like about the game, it's the control. It is IMPOSSIBLE to keep your racer on the track while playing the game. If you get stuck in a corner, you can't go backwards, you have to turn ALL THE WAY AROUND. This is painfully slow and often reveals glitches in the graphics as the camera passes through the walls. This would be a wonderful game if it weren't for the heinous control.
