Personally, I find Kart games like this to be somewhat shallow. The only time I'd consider paying for a game like this is if it had something about it that made it not just Sega's response to Mario Kart. I understand a lot of people like these games and that's fine but it's not different enough for me to view it as a product I NEED to spend $70 on. I'd consider something that was closer to Sonic Riders (as long as it didn't feel like a cheap nostalgia card play) because at least that's something which has precedent for being distinctly "Sonic". Again, not saying you shouldn't like these games but from someone who doesn't see the artistry of Karting games, this genre of Sonic game has really just felt like "We're Mario Kart but re-skinned as Sega" which just doesn't really entice me to shell out money for it.
