They have the open network test at the moment (free to play). Played a few games online with my sister. Don't know what all the items and things do yet but definitely seems like a fun kart racer game and a good progression from the previous Sonic Racing games.

Given the game is fast paced I wish it wasn't capped at 60fps, and the background music feels like it's getting clipped in some parts. But otherwise the game feels good to play. I was already considering buying on release, and I probably will pick it up having gotten the chance to try it out.
