I loved this game back then and it was great, most of the game play was smooth and great, although its sonic in a car it didn't really matter because of how much it had improved from sonic and Sega all stars racing giving all of the characters who can't fly, but the grand tour mode did get hard at the very least, but it did end up as one of my most favorite sonic games still, even though its an old game it still runs really nice and smooth unlike other racing games, the game play formula is the same in sonic team racing with different changes so if you get a chance to play this game then try it.
