The reason why I praise Sonic Riders is because it's more than just a racing game. It corperates snow and skateboarding like elements and I really liked the concept of using opponents turbulance to catch up to them in a half-pipe style. I found that really creative.

Sadly later Sonic Riders games drop half of these cool things.

As for All-Star racing games, well yeah I do like them, I mostly prefer the first one though where each of the racers had more individuality, especially All-Star mode. In S&SASR:Transformed, the racers may be different from one another but the gameplay between them is still relatively cut and paste. It is only their transforming vehicals that grant them individuality. It be nice if All-Star mode made them have more individual flare but it just seems to be plane mode with bells and whistles for a brief time. Plus, I found S&SASR:T menu screens and layout to be rather boring and rigid if you know what I mean.
