"It's got a surprising amount of depth with its customizable builds, a wide spread of tracks referencing history, and its races are chaotic, fast-paced fun. But one of the best things the game does happens just before the races. In single-player modes, you're pitted against a specific Rival racer, and before the first race, they'll exchange some words with whoever you're playing as. These brief back-and-forths are absolutely delightful, and show that everyone in the cast is a professional trash talker."
"When I play Crossworlds , I play almost exclusively as Shadow the Hedgehog, so I've seen just how vicious Sonic Team has made my boy when talking to pretty much everyone on the roster. Now that reviews are out and more coverage is circulating, I'm seeing a lot more of this banter and realizing that there's some grade-A smack talk happening in this game."
"Not all of these interactions are hostile, though. These races are all in good fun, so if characters who vibe get paired up as rivals, they're usually pretty chill, and it's sometimes illuminating to hear them talk, especially if they haven't really had much screentime together over the years. So sit back and enjoy some of the best exchanges I've seen online thus far."
Sonic Racing: Crossworlds delivers fast-paced kart racing with deep customization, a wide selection of tracks referencing series history, and chaotic, competitive races. Single-player modes pair racers against specific Rivals who trade brief, characterful pre-race lines that reveal personality and deliver aggressive, entertaining trash talk. The game lacks a traditional story, so most character interaction appears through these rival exchanges and pre-race rap-battle style banter. Some rival pairings produce friendly, illuminating conversations when characters vibe well together. Shadow the Hedgehog notably offers particularly vicious lines, and online clips highlight memorable, meme-worthy taunts.
