Sonic and All Stars Racing Transformed demo

Date played: December 15th
Platform: Wii U
Session fun rating: 8/10

This game has a nice look to it

The Wii U has demos! I was browsing the eShop and noticed a few demos, including Sonic Racing 2 which seems really interesting. I always love kart racing games when they are well made and this seems like a really good one. The demo has Sonic unlocked as well as one track that is set in the world of Panzer Dragoon. It looks great. The tracks are full of life and animation and the karts animate really well. The racing itself works well, implementing drifts, boosts, wacky items and three types of vehicles. The cars are simple but fun, the boats are harder to race and feel like Hydro Thunder in a lot of ways and the planes feel straight out of Diddy Kong racing. I couldn't try multiplayer but I imagine that's where the real fun starts.
