A Very Nice Sonic (the Hedgehog) game! :)!

How the game works is very (really) well, but not without room for improvement. Five things that I would suggest giving this (video) game is one, giving the option to have multiple costumes (outfits) for all of the characters, and two the option to turn off visual effects such as (for example) the grinding sparks visual effects. The third one would be the option to view the races from different (camera) angles, and even be able to angle the camera(s) in any direction the player would want to. The fourth option would be to give players the option to choose the stages themselves. While some would prefer the completely random stage selection approach, it’s still something to think about. Another thing is that there seems to be (like) only one song in the game. While it is nice and all, I believe that this game would benefit with a much wider selection of songs from all of the other (including the recently released “Sonic Forces) Sonic (the Hedgehog) games. They would only act as extras incase (in case) anyone is interested. And of course there is always room for more characters such as Cream the Rabbit and Blaze the Cat, as well as maybe some other Sega-related characters. Those are just a few suggestions that I have here, but it doesn’t hurt to leave a little suggestion here and there! :)!

Great, but has one problem...

This is an amazing game. I wanted to rate it 5 stars because it works. SEGA listens to the complaints of fans. They have regular updates and add (some questionable because of the game it’s based off of) new characters at a decent rate. So what’s keeping me from changing to 5 stars? This game doesn’t keep my attention very long. I play many other games. This is one of my top 3, but I’ll only go in to unlock a free chest every now and then. Also, Red Rings costs too much. And my biggest problem: you can STILL collect characters who are at max level. NO. I want Rare and Super Rare characters. That’s not easy when you can max out ALL common characters and still collect their cards after battle races. They tried to draw people back by adding the Season element, which admittedly was a great idea, SEGA gives recognition to the top 9 players worldwide after the Season ends. But after a while, if you win a lot, or lose a lot, you lose interest. The only skill involved is the ability to swipe at the right time, whether that be stage obstacles, or items thrown by opponents. Boosts are fast, but are VERY hard to control. I have it at 4 stars because everything works great, mules better than the ACTUAL Sonic Forces, but it suffers one of the biggest reasons to why Sonic Forces is looked down upon. It doesn’t keep your attention for more than an hour or two. Recommended only to those dedicated to EVERYTHING, even if it gets boring over time.

Disappointed

It’s a great game but when it comes time for me to run a character in a new event half the time the game will stop letting me play for days until the new event has ended making me miss out on character cards such as this karate knuckles I planned on getting him to at least level 6 maybe 8-10 and as I unlock him at level 1 two days after the event starts I haven’t been able to play since then and this has happened multiple times over the past year I’ve played it. More importantly you rlly have a naming system but no friends list I should be able to add someone who I beat or who beat me and race them in party matches. Another thing why does your game literally have hackers like it’s not that serious lag switchers are in every other game I play and this is all love cause I play this game every week like I’ve spent a good amount of time and money on this game just sum of this stuff is simple fixes that would make the game grow exponentially. Another thing the back and forth between characters for the side missions is terrible most of the time a person is playing for one why am I having to cycle through another character not useful to my gameplay jus to get there cards but primarily why am I unable to play right now imma be unable to tmmr and until this event ends jus causing me to miss out on fighting knuckles why even put him in when I can’t play for him?.

Great game!

This is a great game in my opinion. You can race all day, and get rewards for it. There is a battle chest limit though. I love the missions, but I find the cool-downs to be too long. the shortest is 3-4 hours?! really?! Also this game strongly pushes you to buy overpriced in-app purchases. $10 for just about everything. Even a small set of cards. For example, you can buy 50 Super rare cards...for $10. I’m starting to question how Sega makes money off of this game. The ads are frequent. After every few races youll get one. There are optional ads to increase rewards or get coins. As many other reviewers have stated, the trophy system makes zero sense. Its almost entirely random. how come the dude in second get -12 while the dude in third gets +8?! I think the biggest issue with this game is the battery it requires. This app has singlehandedly used as much battery as all my other apps combined. It also has some connection issues, but those are rare and waiting a few minutes fixes it most of the time. My last nit-pick at ghis game is the referral system. You can supposedly use a link to invite people to the game and you get a reward when they use it. Though it does send them a link to the game, it has no reference to you in the slightest as far as I can tell. I tested it on my cousin and he installed the game and I got no reward. This happened 3 times. Other than that, great game.

Great Game!!

The game is great, easy to navigate pretty simple, design is wonderful, challenges proportioned out nicely, it’s not impossible to get rare characters without spending actual money! (Leveling them up however is a bit more tricky but still not impossible without money) I’ve played to the point of no more reward chests and character XP could be gained, banking rings and trophies while I wait for my chests to be opened. However I’ve rated 4 stars only because there is a lag (ugh that lag has cost me some first place prizes, or making me drop out of a race all together, so way past NOT cool) also there’s a slight problem with the music and sfx, just that when it can’t give an ad to play and it tells me to go ahead and take my reward it shuts them off, (and I enjoy the soundtrack and sfx!!) But I keep having to go to the settings and click them off and on again to get them back after ever ‘no ad take your reward’ notification. Also I notice you can invite friends onto the game, but is there a way to actually run a race with specific people? Why invite friends if you can’t play with them? Just beating their scores on a bored. It’s just and idea but, it would be good to go personally in a speed race with your friends you invite. Letting you know when they are on to play and a way of inviting them into an actual race. That’s it for my review! Like the game, fix the lag among all things 😝 thanks!!

Hi SEGA!

This is probably my favorite sonic mobile game. But there are some problems, #1 New Character Movie Super Sonic, People are hacking the game to where they can instantly go super at the beginning of a race and not have their rings drained, And they will even repeat it during the race! And its the same for normal super sonic too! Second problem, Tangle Has the ability to get a little boost when she gets a item and an increased chance of getting two of them and making it impossible for any character to catch up, INCLUDING INFINITE! She should have a de-buff for everything except her tail-spring. Third problem, Whisper and Lucky Whisper, All of they’re items are okay except for the cyan laser, Instead of having a chance of picking up two or three cyan lasers the damage increases and the speed. Fourth Problem, Zazz, His items overall are good except for his star item, Im fine with how he many drops, but the speed of them dropping and damage they do are unfair. He literally wins every time if he is lv 4 or higher. Fifth problem, Movie Tails, Everything is okay except for his EMP-Shield’s Effect, Why? The items disabled is way to long making it to where he can get ahead and not be caught up to. Thats all for now but I’ll report back if I discover anything else until then GOTTA GO FAST! 💨 💨 💨

Dear SEGA

And, I just unlocked Jingle Belle Amy from the Holiday Rapid Recap! 😍😍😍😍 thank u soooooooo much like this is one of my faves to pass the time! 😊😊😊😊. But this is the opposite of a ripoff. Like, occasional lag, whatever. I don’t mind the ads. Best game ever! But- can u please make it so you can choose your favorites? It has almost been a month now I’m pretty sure, but it STILL did not put Jingle Belle Amy on my stats. SOOOO ANNOYING. Thank u for your time, I appreciate your work and effort to make this game. Have a very good day! Love, one of Sonic’s (mainly Rouge) biggest fans. 😍😍😍😍😍😍 Edit: can u add classic Rouge, classic tails, classic knuckles, classic metal Sonic, classic super Sonic, classic Amy, sally acorn, cosmo, Violet, chef Amy, beach Sonic, beach Amy, Chris, all the characters from the graphic novels, Jim Carey’s robotnik, (he deserves some appreciation, he did a good job!) donut lord, Maddie, crazy Carl, wade, sticks, adventure Sonic, adventure knuckles, adventure amy, Adventure tails, adventure Eggman, and mr. tinker thank you again Oh and emerl and the rest of the deadly six

STILL unbalanced racing

You can attack a player that is directly in front of you, and they won’t receive damage and just keep going as if nothing happened; but when they attack you, BOOM you take a huge dose of damage. The trophy addition and subtraction is RIDICULOUS!!!!!!! I shouldn’t only get under 10 trophies when I win, then have up to 30+ subtracted from me when I lose! You can’t even come in 2nd place most of the time without having trophies subtracted. The fact that it takes a substantial amount of time to earn the trophies getting maybe 10 here or there from several races and then having close to 30 subtracted from you from just ONE loss is excruciatingly annoying!!! The game is even more lame when you’re constantly being paired with players using Metal Sonic and they rapidly steal every item you pick up! The speed boosts are very, very stupid! No matter what level your character is, the boost will only last about 3-4 seconds and does very little good for a 4th place runner that’s far behind the pack; and the 2nd & 3rd place runners are constantly getting boosts. You also will have enormous amounts of trophies subtracted from you when the game crashes!! How is that even remotely fair? It’s not like I could even participate in it if they can’t stabilize this game well enough so it won’t crash during gameplay!! The game’s servers are extremely poor, and it will try to blame your internet connection, yet everything else on the device works perfectly normal.
