Though a little clunky at times, Transformed is up there with the best kart racers, even surpassing some Mario Karts in my opinion. The transformation gimmick allows for creative track design, and the character lineup is really silly in the best way possible. The career mode is even playable in co-op, so like, y’know, heck yeah
This is a fantastic and amazing Racer with a stellar roster and references that I had a lot of fun doing the missions for. The tank battle, Battle, and Rival races are all my favorites. I mainlined Sonic, Shadow and Metal Sonic because of course I did. Honestly, this may be better to me than Mario Kart. It's that good.
This game is very good. I would say it is better than the first one...But not by much.
The transformation mechanic is a cool idea and I love how most of these tracks are super dynamic, with different water and aerial sections, and some of these actually change completely by the third lap. However, there are a few minor things that make this game a bit of a step back from the first one.
- The commentator is not nearly as involved in the races and pretty much lacks any of the personality from the one in the first game
- The all star moves are all pretty generic and look almost the same
- You can no longer unlock different music tracks for each stage
- All star moves are still kind of a problem since you can save your all star move pretty much all race and use it to win for free right at the end.
I have also noticed that getting hit by anything in this game is way too common. It almost feels like there is barely any cooldown right after you get hit by an item, so getting hit by one means you are probably going to get comboed and left behind by like half of the racers.
I have also noticed that whenever I get pushed by other racers, my car essentially starts flying in one direction at high speed and I end up crashing or falling off. I'm not sure if these were also problems in the first game since I haven't played it in a long time.
With that said, I would still recommend this game. Whether or not it is better than Mario Kart is debatable, I personally prefer the higher difficulty and skill ceiling.
Plus you can play as Team Fortress 2. Why do they sound like that doe?
