Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is Mario Kart's far more chaotic, perpetually drunk uncle, but it's also perhaps the closest we'll ever get to Nintendo's flagship racer on our humble PCs.
It's gimmicky and goofy as all hell. Rings fly as I crash and careen into other racers, dodging items takes far more knack than holding a banana to my ass and praying, and getting flung into entirely different tracks mid-race introduces all manner of frenzy. But my goodness if it isn't one of the most fun, solid-feeling kart racers I've played that doesn't involve an Italian plumber.
