LONDON & SAN FRANCISCO (May 28th, 2009) – 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.

Can Amigo scramble Dr. Eggman? Will AiAi say bye-bye to Tails? Are you gonna be faster than Sonic? The race will start in 2010… For more information please visit: www.sega.com/sonicracing.

Took them a while to make a SEGA characters racing game, didn't they? Anyway, I look forward to this, and hope it comes out well.

Yeah, Diddy Kong Racing was the shiz.
But yeah, let's hope it doesn't get labeled as a Mario Kart clone, like DKBB...

Sounds good. If it's anything like Sonic R, i'll like it.
If its anything like Sonic Riders, I'll hate it.

I hope it doesn't have the TD curse in it...

These long stressful days have already caught up, I've gonna my first grey hair.
2010? That's like... a year from now!

Eh... a racing game. Hopefully each character will be independently unique. (Example: Sonic races on foot, *insert character* races in a vehicle). Let us hope it isn't like Mario Kart, or it's older game Sonic Riders.

Ah, fiddlesticks, I wasn't able to report on it first.

Nevertheless, that's a pretty awesome-looking trailer as should be expected from Sega, and I'll agree with Seris in that it's got a DKR feel which was a good thing. It was an addictive, quirky, and solid kart racer and I hope that this game will at least share in some of that spirit with it.

In the meantime, I wonder how long it's going to take for someone to start moaning about why Sonic has to drive a car in a vehicle race. *gets out stopwatch*

Not long trust me. (well if NEOGAF is anything to go by).

Well, I mean, that's NeoGAF. I expect the majority of members to piss on anything that's directly or indirectly related to Sonic either in jest or in serious horror. xP

Also, I have a prediction: Silver's going to be in this game in some form. His voice actor mentioned a collaboration that he'd done some voice work for but was unable to talk about. This is indeed a left-field collaboration, so unless the guy does any other Sega voices I reckon our favorite hedgehog will be along for the ride as well, pun partially intended. (And I suppose if Silver's in it, I reckon Shadow will be there too.)

Just check out the comments on the Trailer vid on Youtube.

Plenty of people are complaining about it. :P

Yeah, those sort of comments always follow this type game, What people dont seem to reliaze is that while Sonic is indeed the fastest thing on land, he is also quite competive, so there would really be no reason why he would'nt want to race in a car/on a bike/in a plane just because of the challenge it would present.

At least thats what I think.

Silver was in the original Sega Super Stars Tennis was he not?

He was, but as a referee on the Green Hill Zone court; Not exactly a major appearance for him. But with Pete practically revealing this game's existence as well as one of the Sumo Digital guys confirming a better roster--

Yes we've listened to the SST feedback - and I'm sure you'll be a lot happier with the character roster. Once we can talk about it that is. Providing the office doesn't burn down, it should make a showing on the E3 floor.

-- just has my suspicions raised that Silver will actually do something worthwhile. xP

(PS: Am I the only one who's noticed that the lights on Sonic's car are connected like his eyes are... S'creepy.)

I was kind of hoping for an all "Sonic" game, but I guess this doesn't look so bad. It's acceptable. Not like Mario and Sonic.

Be great fun to get back in the cockpit, and this looks interesting to say the least. Should at least hit par with Double Dash (nah, didn't like it). Still got beefs...Sonic's in yet another vehicle (I just can't get my head around it D: ) and Tails' plane looks less than airworthy, but it looks like it'll be solid. Tough to tell from a teaser. We'll see ^_^.

Not only was I upset that my stupid computer isn't loading the video, I am a bit disappointed Sonic is in a car. Yes, we know Sonic Riders was a failure, but Sonic on a hoverboard utilizes his speed (you control him). It was a good idea implemented into a horrible racing game.

Sonic in a car is not so great an idea to me. Sonic can run FASTER than a car. Does that pertain to anyone? It just seems foolish to have Sonic be in a car when he can run faster than one. What is it: a race to try to be a snail? Because that is what is happening... Sonic is actually downgrading in speed by being in a vehicle (so long as it is a normal vehicle).

A "pure" Sonic surfing or snowboarding game would be 10 times better if implemented correctly.

I'm not saying this game is bad, it could still be good. I'm just saying that it looks like Sonic has a lack of speed utilizing a car.
