Sega\u2019s long-awaited 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\u2019t have a review going live because, at the time of writing, we don\u2019t have Team Sonic Racing. It\u2019s kind of hard to have one without the other.<\/p>\n

In fact, we\u2019ve been told by Sega that we won\u2019t have the Switch version of the game until launch day \u2013 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\u2019t like doing, but \u2013 as you can appreciate \u2013 is out of our hands in this particular instance.<\/p>\n

For what it\u2019s worth, the game seems to be getting fairly positive reviews on other formats. Our friends over at Eurogamer gave it a \u2018Recommended\u2019 award<\/a>, saying it\u2019s \u201ca smart spin on the character kart formula\u201d.<\/p>\n

Our sister site Push Square gave it 7\/10<\/a>, adding that \u201cit 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\u201c.<\/p>\n

IGN gave it a 8.5 score<\/a>, stating that \u201cTeam 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\u201c.<\/p>\n

GamesRadar+ was less kind, awarding the game 2.5 stars out of 5<\/a> and lamenting the fact that it \u201cdoesn’t stand up to other kart racers today\u201d. Ouch! To be fair, that\u2019s the harshest review so far, and something of a lone voice.<\/p>\n

Naturally, those reviews aren\u2019t based on the Switch version of the game, which we\u2019ll be getting our hands on once it\u2019s available in stores. Just like you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
