This game (and the soundtrack) was a staple of my childhood, but getting it to run on PC these days is a nightmare. If there was an easier way to play this again, I'd buy it again five times over.
This game is not even good, but it's just so fun. Finding the secret bits of each level. And the soundtrack is amazing. One hundred and sixty characters aaarrgh!
I will say right off the bat this Sonic game isn't for everyone. It's kinda a weird Mario Kart clone racing game. Some characters doesn't use vehicles. There's a few hidden characters that's alternative versions of other characters. There's a handful of tracks that do differ to a degree. The soundtrack is hit or miss with people. Personally I'm fine with some of the songs. The controls will take a while to get use. Especially making turns which will take you the longest to master. Sonic R is among the shortest Sonic games I ever played!!!

Need for Speed: Underground 2
Need for Speed: Underground 2Need For Speed Underground 2 takes place in Bayview after the events of Need for Speed: Underground. The prologue begins with the player driving in a Nissan Skyline R34 in Olympic City (though the racing scenes are actually in Bayview), the setting of NFS:UG. He then receives a race challenge from a rather ominous personality who offers him a spot on his crew, but "won't take 'no' for an answer." The player races off — despite Samantha's warnings — only to be ambushed by a mysterious driver in a rage that totals his Skyline. The driver, who has a unique scythe tattoo, makes a call confirming the accident, and the flashback fades out.
