Being a simple game, you'll find no cut-scenes, intros or any of that jazz, much to the disappointment of those who anticipated such after all, there's really no excuse for a 1999 game to lack these things.Īnother annoying aspect rears its ugly head as you simply play the game with either of the controls, be it keyboard or joystick/joypad.

Speaking of camera angles, you control three different views but there is hardly any difference between them! And how about that big black border surrounding the screen as you shrink the size from full to small? Why couldn't they have made it an actual window under Windows? As well, the speed is not as fast as Sonic should be even though the frame rate isn't totally bad. Unfortunately, the background fades in with obvious trepidation while the camera angles start to produce headaches or disorientation. The animation on the other hand is semi-smooth. The graphics overall are just not good enough.
It also has a horrible-looking map along with the smudged text and numbers on the screen.
Unfortunately, the game suffers from missing special effects and details like dynamic lighting, gouraud shading, transparency and motion trailing. The rain and snow effects on the other hand are pretty interesting and appropriately fashioned as big bubbles for a sort of cartoon look. When pixels jump at you or clipping problems and graphical glitches block your view, you're going to lose every race! As a matter of fact, you're going to wonder where every player is and why you've mistaken the water for a mirrored floor. Speaking of 3D, it's better than say, Die Hard Trilogy for the PC, but what happened to the effects, the lighting and full use of 3D technology of the times? It certainly wasn't implemented in this game, unfortunately. Sure, it's in 3D but eventually after playing it for awhile you're not going to bother continuing on. Sonic R shares the same common problems that other less-than-decent games seem to have that hinder gameplay in more than several ways. Well, the truth hurts but it has to be told.
Admit it - no one wants to hear that a Sonic game could ever be less than decent.
