I'll say this, I personally didn't like the all star games but I like this one and the beta has certainly sold me on what was going to be an iffy pre order of deluxe since I heard Tangle was gonna be in it down the line from leaks of a board or probable nods. I'd say it comes down to how chaotic the race can feel and how gears allow me to flat out bullshit come backs. It helps to not have the MKW issue of nobody being able to pull ahead since you can pull really damn far away in this one and there are only a few items I could really say were undodgable(main threat being a ghost that does a straight line attack that locks onto you first and will hit anyone in the thin path behind you, and the vehicle cutting one since that shit pretty much seems to have one of the furthest sightline based targeting in the game and even when I had a boost it seemed that the moment that shit left someone's hand I could do nothing about it.); the invincibility doesn't let you go over grass either, instead you need the monster truck which is a static form as even on the boards you will get the truck.
Current part of the beta now is team matches with special rules like ring collection for end tally, bumping players or tricks. Being more of a Sonic R & Riders type of guy(I liked Riders 1 but the rest kinda shit the bed on controls or made it simplified, and I prefer sonic to actually run for races) It's enjoyable
