Sonic and All Star Racing: Transformed may have sucked out a lot of diversity and originality out of the first one, but in return we got an even better kart racing game mechanic that makes even Mario Kart blush blue shells. With the ability to virtual do anything with a group of friends, an extensive campaign, large amount of unlock-able content, and the stellar stunt and drifting controls; Transformed really lives up to its name sake by changing the way we should look at kart racing. Overall this is one of the most pleasant games to not only imitate a formula from a previous series, but also improve greatly on it's premise; if you have any interest in this game get it.
