Anybody getting this?? I played the demo and I thought it was pretty fun. It's no Mario Kart but I think I may buy it since I don't have a Wii and this is probably the closest thing I'll get to Mario Kart until ModNation Racers comes out for the PSN.

Plus it has Beat from Jet Set Radio Future!! I'm curious as to what other characters they have on this game.

Oh and it hasn't really been getting any bad reviews. The average is around an 80%

I played the demo. And I thought it was okay, obviously it is a Mario Kart rip off, and of course it isn't as good. But it is definatly the closest you'll get to mario kart on the 360 or PS3. For me it will probably be a rental, since I do have a wii :)

i'll wait a few months and buy it for $20, even if it is good these kind of games tend to drop like a rock unless it's mario kart.

I'm playing it right now and LOVING it. Mainly have just been playing online because its fun and lag free. It plays just like Mario Kart which is ....not a bad thing lol. It looks amazing and the track designs are so full of color and life, so much better designed than Mario Kart Wii's tracks IMO. Control wise it depends by what character you choose but the drifting is very similar to Marios and it feels just right. Overall its totally worth the $50, if anyone gets it let me know maybe we can play online sometime.

I'm going to try to pick it up on Monday if my money goes to my card. I've been waiting a few days. Maybe we can play when I get it.

I'm getting it for Xbox because PS3 is getting ModNation Racers. Plus on the 360 you can use your Avatar and you get Banjo-Kazooie

Yea I have the 360 version. Honestly the tracks that steal the show are actually the Monkey Ball tracks especially one called "Monkey Target", possibly one of the coolest designed race tracks in a kart racer ever. My only complaint online would be that the items distributed from item boxes can become quite chaotic at times when racers all get rewarded with x3 weapons like rockets and boxing gloves, there are moments of frustration as you get pounded by items like crazy.....but in the end its all mindless fun!

I hope they have some DLC characters and tracks. I mean 24 tracks is enough but I'd like to see some more SEGA characters in the game. Maybe more from JSRF and I still want NiGHTS to be playable.

I heard that DLC is already planned for the end of this week. I assume it will be new character(s) and I heard someone saying there will be map packs too.
Heres a video of one of my favorite tracks:

Those both look like awesome tracks, I really want this game now. It looks like a fun variation from Mario Kart.

The first course you posted looks hard but fun at the same time. I bet I'm going to mess up on those tight corners more than enough times when I get the game.

Can't wait to pick this up.

I bought the game over my lunch break today and I played some of it this evening. Overall, I am liking this game a lot. Many of the ideas and gameplay elements are lifted from Mario Kart, but that's hardly a bad thing; the controls are tight, the graphics and scenery is colorful and vibrant, and the power-ups you can use against other players (or the computer AI) adds a fun competitive element.

I am still getting the hang of the drifting controls, and the AI on "Expert" difficulty is very fond of cheap shots, but otherwise I found this game to be easy to pick up and play without a serious learning curve. Highly recommended, even at full price.

Lets play online sometime, I saw you on today but I knew you just started playing so I figured you wanted to get used to it before going online. BTW, I main Amigo as my racer.

As big as a Sega fan as I am, I will wait for a price drop. Right now I'm playing Mass Effect 2 and soon to play Final Fantasy XIII.

The demo had some major frame rate issues! I wonder how it is on the actual game.
