Just watched Game Trailers 5 best, 5 worst on the Sonic games and the put Sonic R as the worst. Am I the only one who likes R? I mean there are much, much worse Sonic games than R.

The video was by ScrewAttack.com who as usual are so far off the mark they need a satellite relay to see it.

My boy and me play Sonic R at least twice a week. He loves it, as did I first time round.
I personally think the handling could be better, but there's definately a challenge in getting 100% completion. Luke loses his temper pretty quickly when he can't steer properly, but still puts it back on again.
We like Sonic R in my house.
Incidently, I saw the PC version in a charity shop today for £1.99. I didn't pick it up, but I did wonder if the visuals are better on the PC?

Sonic R was simply amazing. We used to have such a laugh with the tag mode. Only the 2 player split screen was lame, as the horizon was too near for newbies to anticipate corners. I never had the PC version, but I believe it has 4 player split screen, like the later Gamecube version. I remember being amazed with the graphics on the Saturn version at the time...in my opinion, they looked better than the Zelda game on N64....and the 3D world was so magnificently solid. But I loved playing it too....figuring out all those shortcuts. ;-)

The game is ace. I bet they only played it for two seconds and were so rubbish at it so said it was crap.

Sonic Heroes should be down as the worst sonic game, i have never played a sonic game so little (couldent even be bothered to complete it with any of the teams)
Sonic R is awsome!

Sonic R was/is great on the PC, only drawback was the music never worked for me, must've been incompatible with my sound card. I think Sega used some sort of rudiemtary saturn Emulator for those old Sega PC titles, because both Sonic R and Sega Worldwide Soccer used to run under a similar frontend. I agree with Sonic heroes being the worst game, that game was the biggest bag of wank I've ever played, mind you the adventure games aren't much better IMO. They need to kill off all these useless characters and just go back to Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Robotnik (none of this eggman shite) Metal Sonic is allowed too

Sonic R is a pretty fun racing game. It's one of my most played Saturn games to be honest. I say anything after the Sega Saturn days sucks as far as Sonic titles go. (Well... besides the cheesy voice acting, I guess Sonic Adventure 1 was alright, but 2 was total crap!) ...They need to kill off all these useless characters and just go back to Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Robotnik (none of this eggman shite) Metal Sonic is allowed too Agreed. All the other animals are are just recoloured Sonics with the same speed but more abilities. What's the point of having Sonic, eh? Reminds me of the retarded kids online who make their own "original" Sonic characters by tracing a picture of Tails or something and colouring him in blue and adding a third tail and giving him the ability to do a Kamehameha blast from Dragon Ball Z or some stupid crap like that. Gaytarded to the full extent of the jam!! Adding extra characters just kills the appeal of Sonic. He's just not unique anymore, and nobody cares about him. In fact, I'd even go as far as to say scrap Knuckles too! Did he run on a treadmill and gain super sonic speed too? No. The only reason Tails can keep up with Sonic in speed is because of his tails propelling him. Knuckles just makes no sense. Man I hate kids... but right now I'm hating Sega even more for trying to appeal to stupid kids. I want my good ol' Sega cheese back (blue cheese. Huu huu! Get it? ), when Sonic wasn't all hardcore and stuff and didn't wield a rocket launcher and didn't flip you the bird when you weren't looking. Sorry for ranting on but this is something that bothers me everyday. It's actually the most common topic between me and my friends and even my brother. We all hate new Sonic. But back to the topic of Sonic R, has anyone attempted to complete the game as that pink hedgehog in that car? Flipping hard!

That's just masochism, Amy sucks! I personally like Knuckles, he makes sense, he's the keeper of the Master Emerald on the Floating Island and he's a bit slower than Sonic but he can glide which makes up for it. Oh and Tails never kept up with me

I enjoy the Screwattack videos but this most recent one I felt was not very good at all. I think there a fun group of people not to be taken seriously but I do like Sonic R a lot. There are a bunch of other games thats are worse them it but whatever. Also Sonic Fighters was not terriable either. Sure its not a very technical fighter but thats the point it just a fun little game,

That was when I was good at games. Now, I'm rubbish at them or they're made to hard, methinks the latter .

Flipping hard! not how i would have worded it but one of the reasons i dispise the fan characters and shadow and silver who are just resprayed sonic's on the very old topic i do like sonic r but its slippery controsl are very unforgiving so i just generally play it for the music in time trial mode
