### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Underrated hidden gem
  

*by N***S on Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2016*

Sonic R is a game bashed and joked about by many but it's mainly modern day plebs who listen to other reviewers and don't actually play the game themselves; Their overall opinion is biased and mainstream.Sonic R is actually great once you get the hang of it.  YES, the game is very short but features a nice variety of characters and the stages, though only 5 in total, are very nicely designed.  The music is fantastic! Where it fits with the game or not is debatable but it, in my opinion, works perfectly. It's the perfect mix for this 90s relic and even though the lyrics are cheesy, they stay in your head for years.The XPLOSIV version of Sonic R is a re-release.  It actually contains the music on the disk this time around as the original release did not have the music. This version also features Net-Play via LAN TCP-IP servers and there are a few other configurations to use if you want.The controls are fully optimize-able, good SFX and Audio mixing options and even a weather system.Sonic R is a great game and the only issues players may have are the controls; They require some learning but aren't that bad and when you get your head out your butt and realize you can turn sharper with drift buttons, the controls become normal and easy.I absolutely recommend you play this game! The XPLOSIV release is really the only one you need at that.However, the game is also available on Gamecube via SonicGems Collection.  Give it a shot.

"SONIC R" Nicht kaufen! XPLOSIV ist nur der Ärger! 💥🥵😖 Die angegebenen Systemvoraussetzungen stimmen nicht! Es wurde mehrfach erfolglos versucht auf Windows XP zu installieren. Es erscheint immer nur eine Fehlermeldung: "Spiel reagiert nicht mehr". Das Rücksendeporto übersteigt anschließend den Kaufwert, so dass man auf dem Schaden sitzen bleibt! VORSICHT FINGER WEG!!!

Läuft leider unter Windows 98 SE nicht, obwohl es dies laut Systemvoraussetzung sollte.
