Honestly speaking, now that time has passed, I had WAY more fun with Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing than Transformed. So many more unique characters, everyone had unique cars and personalities attached to them, especially in the All-Star moves, and honestly really fun tracks and great selection of music.
3:30 "What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object?" Depends. If the unstoppable force has a paying customer, that immovable object better make itself movable and get out of the way.
as cool as the all star moves look I would prefer transformed because they dont seem over powered. The first ones would be fine for a party mode but the fact you can have little skill and go immediately from 8th to first in the main racing mode and not a party mode makes it not as appealing. As say something that is slightly better than an regular item getting you ahead of a few and still making you race for any other passing.
