Currently #1 on Amazon proper. (AKA, MURICA'S SITE).
still selling copies huh? Polygon said stop
Than a game is better for some people doesn't mean that will sell better.
I always had this idea, sonic racing transformed is a better game than MK for a competitive aspect, in the sense you really need to master it to be good at it.
In the other hand, mario kart is a way better multiplayer game because is more accesible that sonic racing transformed and people knows it better.
Both games are awesome, I think that we should be happy to had 2 great kart/arcade games in the same generation
I agree 100% Mario Kart 8 is more forgiving. I tried to unlock the final car in Transformed because it looked so dame cool with the Afterburner Jet but I could not get pass some of the frustrating checkpoint timed out stages. The ones you have to race perfectly while the timer counts down. I know I suck the game did not have to rub it in.
So I do believe Transformed does force you to master it.
Mario Kart 8 has its challenges tho
The charm and visuals are deceptive because the AI can get really tough in 150cc for me at least, I have not even beat the full 100cc yet. I suck too hard since I have not played MK for many years. I have not gotten seriously into MK since N64.
Played the DS version but the tiny screen was hard on my eye issues.
The point is as I raced against GAF online and getting murdered it helped my single player so I was able to unlock all that I needed.
Both games are seriously awesome but it is disappoint to see the sales for Sonic just because it is not as popular. Many devs tried to create a Kart Clone and Transformed became something different, to me that is special special. I do think you have to be a Sega fan to get the most out of it most of the stages had no meaning for me since I never played those games they featured.
