Tell me about it, one needs to truely memorize the corners and properly drift to get past them without losing speed.
I wonder it's inclusion is a hint towards a future release on PSN and XBL...hmmmm.

It is rather frustrating. I wonder how good the 3DS version will be.

Just watched the credits roll, so many people worked on this in some way, seems overkill for such a game.

It's XBL only atm it seems, didn't see a demo on PSN. (Thanks Baconsammy)
Man if only they promoted this game early announcing the TF exclusive in Steam ver., this would've been bought Day 1 on Steam.
EDIT: Shinobi theme is online!

It's not Euro XBL only. I just downloaded it from the US store.

Bought the PSN version of the game, same price as retail over here! Good job SEGA

Oh my bad, I thought we were talking about the full proper game being downloadable.
This wasn't on my radar at all, but reading the Eurogamer review, I can't help but be a little excited. Price is right too.
It's the full game and the LE DLC, and the size comes in at 5.5GB as stated above. Faster loads ahoy!

Oh yes, shame on me!
SHAME!
okay maybe not shame but I just don't see the mild outrage, had it been like 20% with a summary of "Sonic is lame, Mario is cooler" then yeah.
So do we have a list of character unlocking criteria yet? I want Eggman and Joe Musashi.

Guys should I make a new thread with the reviews for the game, in order to bring more attention to it? I'm getting second thoughts about this right now ^_^;
Damn how fast are the loadings in the digital ver.?

My apologies - checked the OP, but couldn't find it. Will this be on PSN only in the EU, or will it be DLable in NA as well? At 5.5 GB, that's the way I'd probably go.

This is the generation of fifteen-minute-long credit rolls with nothing interesting to tide you over while you watch them.

Pretty sure I stated it in the very first lines of text, and I expect the US release to be on the 20th hopefully.

Sorry for the double post but
More characters data found in-disc

It should be worldwide, but don't hold me to that.
Re: load times - I've experienced faster digital loads in titles like ME3, so I'm expecting similar results here
I don't have a disc version to hand to check unfortunately. Either way, it's now on my hard drive for easy access.Eurogamers review is great

I'll wait for Segata to be announced before I lay out the cash.

Interested to see some demo reactions. Maybe I'll be in the minority. I have to admit I'm still super sad about no wheel support.

My impressions incoming soon. Download finishing soon. Keep in mind though that I'm a big fan of the first game. That may or may not taint my impressions.

One thing I really REALLY love is how boosts can stack on each other, do a drift, hit a boost pad and use a boost powerup and you will go flying, son!
WR for me, love that outrun track.

My brother just bought this for me on Wii U as an early Christmas present! Fuck yeah, this is the first Christmas present he's ever bought me, which is sad since I've gotten him so many and he's 28.
Now I need to cancel my preorder for it with Amazon and put the money towards something else. No idea, though.

The car not rolling in with a "Rooolliiiing staaaaart" at the start of the race is a bummer.

Just bought the Wii U version on Amazon. Not really a game that utilizes the Wii U's capabilities, but it will be nice to have an extra game for it.
Does anybody know if you can do two-player local with one on TV and one on Gamepad, or is that only for five-player local?

Sadly, the commentator from the first game is absent, or rather his chatter during the race =/ I know many didn't like him, but over time you just got used to his lines.
Some Air Races having 'Rolling Start' as the text at the begging of the race.
Haha. Segata was initially my third pick, but I changed it to Selvaria. Figured she would have less votes than him.
Not that I'm holding my breath that any of them will get in. :-/
SEGA of America snuck Super Monkey Ball Banana Splitz on to store shelves and released the launch trailer a week after release. I'm not surprised.

Thoughts on a quick run through the demo:
Consists of 1 race (Panzer Dragoon level) and 1 Skill challenge (Golden Axe level). One racer only in the demo (Sonic) for both events.
It appears to be muddier looking and less colorful than the first game, also appears to be running at a lower res. The framerate is good and consistent though. It plays really well, but I bet some people will dislike how slow the game gets once you're on water or in the air. Shouldnt the air portions be at least as fast as when you're driving? That seems weird to me. It controls fine, but the on water/lava portions aren't up to Hydro Thunder's high standard. It also doesnt feel like my vehicle is in the lava/water. It feels like it's floating over it instead of being immersed in it...if that makes any sense.
My major complaints - the weapon selection sucks compared to the first game. And more importantly the announcer from the first game appears to be gone. I hear he makes an appearance elsewhere, but I really miss him during the race.
Good demo, though, and it sold me on the game. I think I'm leaning towards the 360 version now.

In a way yes, but the music is sooooooooooooo good, it makes up for his abscence.

The air feels slow because you are above and away from the ground but I do agree it does feel sluggish at times, but on water if you boost enough you can really go fast. I think all 3 are a nice mix but they do feel rather familiar to each other, I was expecting more choppy water for boats and even then sometimes the dynamic waves don't launch you like nothing was there.
You get a colours style announcer instead so you hear quite a lot of chatter, think halo announcer style.

I believe so, oddly enough...
Last week the game was NOT mentioned in the EU Blog as being up for pre-order.
I found it via search and the game detailed that u also get Metal Sonic+Outrun Bay.
Now when I check it, MS and Outrun are not listed.
Friggin' bizarre I know oof.
That's... silly. It's still included in the box for all retail copies labeled bonus edition, right?
Yes, it should be in any box that is labeled bonus edition. its not a pre-order exclusive bonus. its first print copies.

Well, they're not really deal breakers IMO, the game as is is fun, and has a lot to offer. If you're, say having family over in a few days, you could all play together, in Grand Prix or completing the main Career mode. ...and I can confirm that offline multi works for both as I played them with my brother.
Yes it should! My PS3 copy is the US ver. and it had the Metal Sonic and Outrun Bay DLCs, and the codes worked =3 Hmm wonder if they'll show up in my Vita Download list....
Yeah, I know, but I would much rather have them. I could just as well go buy it in retail tomorrow (and that's even cheaper than the PSN price!) and have the bonus stuff. But I think I'll just wait for the Wii U release like I originally had planned.
