Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing revealed

Sega's biggest mascots take on Mario Kart
Sega has just lifted the lid on Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing for PS3, 350, Wii and DS for release in 2010. The title pretty much spells it out for you.

Here's the release:

"SEGA Europe Ltd. and SEGA America, Inc., today announced Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing, a fast and furious battle to the finish line in this supercharged racer. Developed for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system, PLAYSTATION 3 computer entertainment system, the home video game system, Wii and the Nintendo DS system, Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing will speed into stores in early 2010.

"In a frantic battle to the chequered flag, Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing sees Sonic and friends speed around tracks set in mediaeval castle ramparts, lush rainforests and bustling cities, all taken from the visually rich and varied universes of Sonic and SEGA. Fan favourites such as Dr. Eggman, Tails, AiAi, Amigo and many more will join Sonic in their custom built vehicles, revving their engines and jostling to stay ahead of the pack. Each character will race around the track in cars, planes, motorbikes, and in AiAi's case - a banana mobile! Secret short cuts, swift handling and avoiding strategically placed obstacles are certainly the best way to get to the top of the podium.

"Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing is no ordinary racing game. Its huge variety of characters and vehicles, plus the ability to play both online and off set it apart from other games of this type" commented Gary Knight European Marketing Director, SEGA Europe Ltd. "The team have pushed the boundaries on what you would normally expect and created a different and unique party racing title whereby you really can't take anything for granted!"

"And winning is only part of the fun in Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing! Each character has a specific All Star move such as Super Sonic, Banana Blitz and Tails Tornado, allowing a quick way for competitors to get back into the race! Power ups and weapons can also be collected around the tracks and used against the opposition to ensure they don't become a threat to that number one position... Players can battle it out in single or multiplayer mode, allowing up to four friends to race in frantic split-screen action, or up to eight players to compete online in the ultimate racing showdown."

Sumo is developing the game, who did All Star Tennis. Here are the first shots, and the trailer's above, too.

Doesnt look to bad, but I bet the music isnt as catchy as Sonic R's. Razz

CVG seems your running an Xbox 350. This a new console we don't know about?

On topic time: Looks like Mario Kart, question is will CVG put as many hours into it?
AJB123644 on 28 May '09
Why do they bother cranking out more tired Sonic gimmicks?

Sonic and all of his friends run f*cking fast, why would they need cars? Sonic Team, why must you fight against your audience? We want running and jumping and collecting rings!

Why would Sonic need a car?

Why call it Sonic and Sega All-Star Racing when Sonic is a Sega character? Why not Sega All-Star Racing or Sonic and Friends All-Star Racing? The title is stupid.

Also, Xbox 350. Fail.

I assume Sega Allstars Tennis didnt sell as well, so they're slapping Sonic's name on the box. XD

Still, this is better then another Sonic Riders...

Urgh enough with these s**tty cash ins. Wheres the new Jet Set Radio? or Shenmue?

I would normally agree with this comment, but Sega are such a pathetic shadow of their former selves, that they would probably ruin a new Jet Set Radio or Shenmue 3. How i miss the Dreamcast days...

Still, its being devoloped by Sumo so id imagine this will actually be quite good.

In the screenshot of aiai, look at eggman's vehicle, and I swear you can see yoshi in it

Sega, you just aren't that good. Leave Mario Kart to Nintendo, and make a 2D Sonic for PSN, XBLA & WiiWare.
AJDarkstar on 29 May '09
I'm not sure why you guys are complaining. There aren't many Mario Kart style games for 350 (ha!) and PS3. In fact, there are none as far as I know.

It could be good fun in multiplayer. Colour me optimistic.
Mark240473 on 29 May '09
Mark is right, give it a chance.

I know most of Sega's recent releases have been poor but we gotta have some hope.

Remember nobody starts out to make a bad game..

Sonic's had enough chances I think. Kill this game with fire before Sega can ruin their franchises that little bit more.

(and that's coming from an ex-sega fanboy!- I too miss the Dreamcast days, one of the best consoles I've ever owned. Sad )

Why is tails in a kart resembling a plane? He always gets shot down whenever he's flying!
