EVERYBODY’S Super Sonic Racing… or they soon will be. We’ve just announced a new title coming to PS3, 360, Wii and DS in 2010 - Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing. Check out the trailer:

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.

Uh.....anyone else remembering Sonic Drift? Urgh.

Wow I didn't think it was going to look good, but it does.

I'm gonna read more on it but this looks really fun.

[SuperSonic]

Gah, this does indeed envoke horrible memories of Sonic Drift, and the fact that it's multiformat doesn't sound good either. >_>

But meh, it'll be worth keeping an eye out, I feel a good alternative to Mario Kart has been needed for a while, I love the game, don't get me wrong, but I just wish there was somthing with similar gameplay that doesn't leave you trying to break your remote in half after the fury of being robbed of a well desered win by a damn blue shell.

Ya never know, this could be it.

PLEASE OH PLEASE HAVE THIS BE GOOD! Sonic needs a boost in his self esteem. Hopefully it can live up to my expectations for a racing game. If it's anywhere close to as good as Double Dash I will be happy.

I don't think that Sonic and Shadow would need cars.
