Sonic R
Get the game at Amazon.com!

Reviewed by Nathan Tsui

Sonic Team was busy with an unknown project. Saturn was in
need of a Sonic game. Europe's Traveller's Tales came up
with two: Sonic 3D Blast and Sonic R. Neither accurately
brought Sonic into 3D, and both were too late to save the
Saturn anyway. Oh, wellÉ

GRAPHICS: 8
This game pushed the Saturn to its limits. The visuals are
every bit as good as PlayStation games, and some claim the
Radiant Emerald's graphics rival anything seen before on
Nintendo 64! However, the PC version is sub-par and does not
really utilize any graphics cards. Not that I have a
graphics card, and not that I still play my PC anymore!

CONTROL: 7
The control seems very odd for Sonic at first (since when
has he used an accelerate button?), but once I got used to
it, I became undefeatable. The turning, acceleration and
such are very tight, and each character handles very well. 
Added bonuses include each character's special moves, like
Sonic's double-jump, Knuckles' glide, etcÉ Oh, by the way,
Amy stinks. Just had to say that. :) 

SOUND: 9
The music and sound FX are really great. The FX are all
traditional Sonic, but the music is the high point. Richard
Jacques' tracks and songs are all perfectly suited to each
track, and I find myself singing along rather often. Just
don't let that pass to my friendsÉ ;) 

REPLAY VALUE: 8
There are 5 humongous tracks each with many many many
different routes to take. Plus 6 different hidden characters
to find, including the ultra-cool Super Sonic! Hey, and
since when have you been able to be Robotnik and his metal
creations? Yeah! On top of that, there are lots of Time
Attack modes, like Reverse, Tag Battle, and Balloons. Also
the two-player mode in Saturn and four-player on PC. 

OVERALL: 8 out of 10
Well, Traveller's Tales tried, and although this is an awful
Sonic game, it's a pretty good racer featuring my favorite
cast of characters. If you're a Sonic fan, you need to hunt
this down. If you like racers and want something totally
different, this is your game. Definitely worth the cheap
price you can find it for used.
