This game (and the soundtrack) was a staple of my childhood, but getting it to run on PC these days is a nightmare. If there was an easier way to play this again, I'd buy it again five times over.
This game is not even good, but it's just so fun. Finding the secret bits of each level. And the soundtrack is amazing. One hundred and sixty characters aaarrgh!
I will say right off the bat this Sonic game isn't for everyone. It's kinda a weird Mario Kart clone racing game. Some characters doesn't use vehicles. There's a few hidden characters that's alternative versions of other characters. There's a handful of tracks that do differ to a degree. The soundtrack is hit or miss with people. Personally I'm fine with some of the songs. The controls will take a while to get use. Especially making turns which will take you the longest to master. Sonic R is among the shortest Sonic games I ever played!!!
