GAMES WE LOVE

Sonic Forces PvP Racing Battle

Sonic the Hedgehog losing a race? Heresy! But between jam-packed obstacle courses and a roster filled with the Blue Blur’s fleet-footed friends, anyone can cross the finish line first in Sonic Forces.

What we love: Hitting those high speeds! In these intense four-player races, grabbing rings and nailing ramps bring your character to peak velocity – as long as you avoid pesky traps.

Sonic’s pals are all pretty fast, but hit dash panels and you’ll stay in the lead.

Quick tip: Don’t deploy power-ups right away. Saving an item such as Silver’s control-reversing Confusion Boost till the last minute could mean the difference between a big win and a frustrating finish.
