Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing

As I mentioned in Kalyx's "New 2D Sonic Announced!" thread, there is a new Sonic racing game on the way.

Sonic & Sega All-Star Racing is basically Mario Kart with Sega characters. Each character has a vehicle to match their personality and uses power-ups as they race around Sega themed courses.
Each character has a speacial move called an All-Star Move. Sonic becomes Super Sonic, Samba plays music and everyone nearby forms a Conga behind him, Amy uses her massive hammer etc.

It's being developed by SUMO Digital, the guys behind the XBLA Outrun game, which I enjoy.

Release date: 10th February 2010 on the 360, Ps3, Wii, PC and DS.

Confirmed characters so far:

Sonic the Hedgehog
Miles "Tails" Prower
Knuckles the Echidna
Doctor Eggman
Amy Rose
Shadow the Hedgehog
Big the Cat
Billy Hatcher
AiAi from Super Monkey Ball
Amigo from Samba de Amigo
Ryo Hazuki from Shenmue
Beat from Jet Set Radio Future
Alex Kidd from Alex Kidd

ToeJam & Earl where intended to be in the game but SEGA couldn't get the rights to them. Fans have contacted the guy that does own the rights (Greg Johnson) and he says, due to fan response, he will discuss it with SEGA but it's unlikely.

I'm on a bit of a SEGA high right now, playing through the old sonic games pretty regularly aswell as others like the Megadrive Ultimate Collection and Outrun on the 360 so this is looking appealing to me. I always enjoyed Mario Kart and with me favouring the 360 this time around, I'm glad I'll have a Mario Kart style game on the 360. It may not be a day 1 purchase but I'll get it not long after.
