  • i would love to play that!!...if the cars wernt soo stupid...I would love to play that!!

  • today i got this game and i love it way better than mario kart

  • from the vid it looks like sonic can drive laps around the other guys .... so what'd be the point in racing? :P

  • how come there are not shinobi characters in this game

  • Comment removed

  • i got this game and i can honestly only say 4 words about it, Better Than Mario Kart!

  • o hay gaiz u no wat sonek shudnt hav a kar cuz he wud win all!!!!!!!

    y does he need 1???? he is the fasest thing alive!11!!!1!11!!

    yea this games sux bcuz he has 1 !!!!11!1!

    Jeez, he has a car. Get over it! It wouldn't be fair to everyone if he didn't have one.

    He would win every race. Do you people every STFU?

    Every thime Sonic has a new game coming up, everyone bashes it. It's getting old.

    But when some other game comes out,like a new Mario game, it's praised to hell! Why?

  • why is sonic in a car wtf he is the fastest runner in the world much faster than a car

  • it is to keep fairness, it says so in his in game profile

  • @Nearrules55

    It wouldn't be fair to the other racers if Sonic wasn't in a car. How many times was that said before?

  • @Sonicgamer100 We lost count over this side Sonicgamer!

  • Comment removed

  • @MrChadWarden thats for the NINTENDO version.

  • when does this game come out in stores?

  • US: 2/23/10

    Europe: 2/26/10

  • wow nice game go sonic

  • Dammit why couldnt this be named Sega Superstars Racing?

  • its suppos to come out somwere in febuary or march

  • the trailer is always better than the game BUT thisll still be a awesome game

  • But even though nearly all racing games are Mario Kart clones nowadays (they're actually part of a series called mascot racing games) some of them and I mean some of them are better! Like this game for example. It has better characters from the looks of it and the graphics and vehicles are a lot better too. One look at Eggmans monster truck and Mario Kart would be ripping it off in a second! See what I mean? Its the same with the hovercrafts too. You probably get my point now.

  • Actually, Sega beat Nintendo to the kart genre by a few years with 1988's Power Drift.

    =IzEPhwr6-UY <----Power Drift

  • WHAT!?!

  • I'm not gunna lie. That looks pretty cool.

  • Needs to have characters from the following:

    -Streets of Rage

    -Vectorman

    -Comix Zone

    -Daytona USA

    -Altered Beast

    -Decap Attack

    -Outrun

    -Virtua Fighter

    -Shinobi

  • @Cheesecurd666: How can you forget Crazy Taxi?

  • Virtua Fighter=Jacky & akira

  • I'd think it would be neat to have Earthworm Jim be in this because it would be a good beginning for Jim and the fact that Sega was the first to manufacture the first EWJ video game.

  • 1. It's not about needing a car to be fast. It's just a kart racing game. It's as simple as that.

    2. The entire roster has yet to be unveiled, so what is to say NiGHTS won't appear at all? Besides, Sumo expressed interest in DLC characters, which means even if NiGHTS doesn't appear, that character can be added later on.

  • I agree.

  • ...ToeJam....and....Earl...wer­e...KICKED!!!!!

  • W00t cant wait for this, love my kart games. wonder how much fanboys are gona hate on this cus it aint coming on their system....

  • im fine with mario kart thanks...

  • Banjo and Kazooie are gonna be in it. Look at wikipedia. It has the box art.

  • Another Mario Kart clone.

  • All racing games are Mario Kart clones nowadays.

  • The Shinobi ninja, Outrun guy, Space Harrier guy, Opa-Opa, and Nei should be somewhere in this.

  • Lol, OutRun guy, HangOn guy, Thunder Blade guy, Sega Rallye guy, Virtua Racing guy, Crazy Taxi guy.

  • sonic fanbaoy + mario fanboy = Disaster

  • Sonic's car is so cool

  • in this trailer it makes it seem like a sonic game.:\ o well :P looks fun :D

  • Need For Speed:Sega Stars Racing

  • I never get tired of Sonic or SEGA they both rule!!!

  • I can't wait to see Beat from Jet Set Radio, I heard he was gonna be in this.

  • To get his shopping home on a weekend? There's only so much a blue hedgehog can carry at once...

  • Well, you have to admit, Sonic did make an impressive appearance in the trailer

  • yeah he did, I can't wait for this game, myself, mostly cause I'm one of the few people I know that thinks Sega still has a lot of quality.

    I just wish Sega would seriously go back to some of its old dreamcast properties like shenmue, jet set radio, chu chu rocket, crazy taxi, and what not. They may not have sold well, but they're considered some of the most classic games that Sega has produced.

  • Is it just me, or does sega have a bad cloud over it's head? Sonic Unleashed was one of the best, if not the best, 3D Sonic games ever, and it got a lower rating than Sonic 06

  • Why dont people get tired of mario! He has more games but no one complains about him there is a reason why ppl are hateing him like Ign,Gamespot etc.

    Why every Mario game that comes out is so sweet but even before a sonic game comes out everyone hates it. Its not fair!

  • well, it could be backlash for Sega's decision to become a strictly third party developer. IGN and Gamespot are all on Sega's nuts when discussing their console days. But then again, IGN gave a lot of the most classic N64 games a bad ratings, despite their being top sellers or cult classics.

    The problem is that Sega is no longer the massive innovator of technology that they were once were, much of the development in Arcade and home console technology owes Sega bigtime.

  • They still make Arcades though.

  • @LiquidWave32  Very well said.

  • @michael148th Not true I love any Sonic game that comes out after a Mario game infact I love Mario & Sonic games they most my collection :)

  • @michael148th People don't get tried of Mario or his games, because almost all of them are excellent games. The same cannot be said about Sonic, regardless of how much you and I or anyone else admires the character. People are weary of Sonic games not being good, because often, they aren't.

    I'd love to see a Nintendo take on a Sonic game or crossover or something along those lines at some point.

  • @3FrogBrosCartoons thats cause people like IGN are dicks.

  • You do realize your bawwing over a game critic?

    The only real people to judge video games are the Gamers.

  • @LiquidWave32 this is true

  • Phantasy Star! Phantasy Star! Phantasy Star! And I mean characters from CLASSIC Phantasy Star (as in 1, 2, 3 and 4), not Phantasy Star Online or Phantasy Star Universe or Phantasy Star Portable!

  • Comment removed

  • this looks gd i wil buy

  • How do you know that? There was no gameplay to see, just cinematics.

  • i gotta give sega credit they work super hard on there graphics they make games that are cartoons look real and if ur gonna get the game dont get it 4 wii or playstation 2 because its gonna be some stuff missing out like on sonic unleashed

  • like what? on both games

  • probably some stages or items like sonic unleashed they had alot of stages missing for wii and ps2

  • If i buying this game for anything its Beat from JSRF.

  • Ryo Hazuki in THIS!? Is SEGA Trying To take the piss outta Shenmue fans?! After Ten LONG fucking years they decided to put him in a game? Why didnt they put him on Sega Superstars Tennis?

    Either Annouce Shenmue III or stop fucking us around SEGA!!!!

  • If anything Mario Copied sonic look up the game called Sonic Drift. it came out before Mario Kart on the SNES did so all youo ignorant fanboys should know ur facts and stop trying to say everything copied form mario. EVERY GENERATION develpors from every company have taken or mimced an idea by another company it happens so chill the fuck out with all this "WAAAAAAAAAA copy blah blah blah unorginal" BULLSHIT and learn the facts

  • dude sonic drift played more like, hell, pole position than mario kart, so I can safely say that I doubt that either side ripped the other off

  • Super Mario Kart was out on the SNES in 1992. Sonic Drift was out in 1994.

    I still agree however that this is looking a better game than Mario Kart (HD graphics anyone?) I've seen the gameplay on some of the other trailers and it's looking fairly good :)

  • Why does Sonic need to drive a vehicle?

  • i kno rite? well it's probably because he doesn't want to fall in the water and because he's too fast

  • Ryo Hazuki has been confirmed for this game,hes driving a motorcycle and his forklift,Fuck yes,Shenmue III is still possible.

  • 0:31 is funny eggman

  • <3 Finally, another racing game. Sonic barely has any.

  • i dont see anyone complaining about crash racing games

  • everybody is copying everybody! stop it silly fan boy!

  • um sir ill have you know sonic drove a kart before mario did there were 2 games that never made it to america for the SEGA GAME GEAR they were called Sonic Drift. These were released before Mario Kart on the SNES so know ur facts before u make accusations kid

  • Please no one attack Me for this but I do hope the Crush 40 music tracks from that NASCAR Arcade game are somehow in this game, and please I don't insult the style of music you listen to or your favorite band I respect your opinions on mine and that you may not like them you do have the right to dislike them but I don't go around saying anything bad about the style of music you listen to or your favorite band and besides the NASCAR game was their early work *2bcont.*

  • and besides the NASCAR game was their early work and I think a lot of people found them good in the beginning but I wasn't around but I can say it sounds better than their covers. But if you must disagree at least say it in a polite way rather than something that'll leave Me really hurt on the inside (sorry its just I hate it when people are quick to attack another person's taste in music when they themselves wiouldn't like it if someone else started hating on their favorite style of music)

  • Also there can be classic sega music tracks in here I'm just hoping for the Crush 40 NASCAR songs because well i'd like to see those songs make a return and well since this is a racing game and both that NASCAR game and this game are by Sega I just thought it might work since they have so many refrences to the cars in the lyrics. Anyways as I said I respect your opinion please respect mine I'm not insulting your favorite style of music or band please do not do that to Me.

  • Oh wait I think that one NASCAR Game might have been made by EA but I'm unsure I mean i thought Crush 40 had been with them since the days they were known as Sons of Angels. Still I do hope for the NASCAR Crush 40 tracks regardless. I actually have their Self-titled Album and I actually really enjoy the music from that game.

  • Looked like the car from Sonic Drift

  • I hope Alex Kidd is in it with his little sky-scooter thingy.

  • Don't worry, He's in it

  • How can you be so sure?

  • Alex Kidd is in it with his motorbike :)

  • Any screenshots or footage?

  • He is on his motorbike in one of the earlier (unconfirmed) trailers on youtube.

    He was also in the initial prototype gameplay, although i haven't played as him, and this was a prototype, but, yes, he has been finallised and is one of the characters to go into final production.

  • cool, a hedgehog that runs fast then a car now runs in a car. no sense, looks like will get the same destiny Bandicoot got.

  • Crash Team Racing only made very few copies and was a huge success.

    I don't see where you are going with this...

  • Why would Sonic need a car?

  • it wouldnt be fair to the other racers

  • Comment removed

  • So he doesn't end up like street pizza!!

  • If Sega are willing to venture outside of their Sonic Team repertoire and include characters such as Ulala, I don't see what should stop them from including VF, Streets of Rage, Golden Axe and Shenmue characters too.

    But then I remember Sega don't care about their fans these days.

  • Ulala is not in it.

  • That will depend on which mascot you prefer, but this game is awesome!

    I gave this 9.6 on my review!

    You will love it, and it is nothing like Drift!

  • Haha :)

    Tails Doll is not in this, he doesn't even have a prototype made.

  • Yes

  • i dont get whats the point of taking three years to make the hedgehog engine if there only going to use it once. i mean i know sonic team doesnt care and sonic is only used for money but it seems like a big waist. and sonic trailers always look good but there usually always something wrong with the game

    sonic the hedgehog = FAIL

    sonic and the secret rings = cant stop running

    sonic unleashed = werehog gameplay

    sonic and the black knight = FAIL

  • This is not sonic this is mario kart THIS SUCKS

    Mario & Sonic At The Olympic Games 2 FAIL! SUCKS TOO!

  • ummmmmmmm...if this was mario kart it would have MARIO CHARACTERS IN IT!!!!!!!

  • i miss the adventures games.

  • will silver be in this game

  • Silver is in this game

  • Comment removed

  • Fang is one of the Original ideas, and Fang's prototype has been made. He may or may not be in the final game. I'll keep you posted, if anything new goes up.

  • All of the ideas are by Sega, the name of this game is down to Sega. The developers are only developing the, animation and controls. The name is translated from the japanese version of the game by our HQ's, in USA and the UK.

  • The only reason people think this game will suck is because Sonic is driving a car. Sonic Drift sucked and I can think of many reasons why it did, and none of which involves Sonic in a vehicle. in comparison to this game, Sonic Drift is very bland and uninspired. Besides, this game is being developed by Sumo Digital, who are the best at making racing games like Outrun. There's more reason to believe this game will be great rather then the small reason it will suck just 'cause Sonic is in a car.

  • so do YOU think this game will suck?

  • Not at all. Unlike what I saw in Black Knight back when they were showing off the trailer, this one is actually making me smile at every moment.

  • Not that this game will suck but this is not a step in the right direction. This is not as bad as Sonic and the Black Knight but the only thing that should have Sonic in it is another game like Sonic Unleashed with Daytime levels.

    Why call it Sega and Sonic All star racing. Why not call it Sega All Stars Racing. like they did with tennis.

    This game is broke my heart. I dont like it the action is cheap for a race.

    Sonic Riders ZeroGravity Sonic Drift 1 and 2 were bad and heavily FLAWED.

  • Hey Superbizko, does "Sonic Drift" ring any bells?

  • Exactly! In fact, Sonic can go faster than the speed of sound!

  • Why the hell is Sonic in a car when he can run the race? I guess they don't want a total repeat of Sonic R.

  • This Game Looks Fun!

    Cannot Wait! =D

  • Comment removed

  • Sonicgamer100 has a point,the game also looks awesome

  • The game IS awesome, and only half of everything has been developed yet!

    The completed version will be 100 times better.

  • If this turns out to be good, i hope NIGHTS will be in it,

  • NiGHTS is in it :)

  • he is but not as a racer

  • so many fanboys already hate the game

    if sonic wasnt in the car, it wouldnt be fair

    its like saying, "tails doesnt need a plane, he can fly"

    (i bet fanboys are going to flame me for this)

  • Wow that actually makes sense. Though that didn't stop them from Slowing him down in the Olympic games, Mario beating Sonic in a race, wtf!!

  • 0:55

    Shift...Into...TURBO!!!

  • Lame... Sonic nor Tails need a vehicle. Dr. Robotnic should be able to choose from his classic flying saucer-pod and a few of his other vehicles, and the other characters should get appropriate vehicles.

  • 0:57 nice boosting and really fast boost

  • Why everyone hate Sonic now? stop thinking about the 06 sonic game! This game's not out yet and you all (well almost all) giving it negitive reviews and comments!

    BTY It's just a game.

  • I even saw in Nintendo Power they reckon this game is "Best Mario Kart Rip off".

    That's why you gotta trust Nintendo for video game reviews. They're at least better than Idiotic Gaming Ninkompoops.

  • I give this game positive reviews.

    Not out, No.

    But when Sega wants first-hand reviews, they often ask their staff for reviews, meaning that i, unlike most on this page have a better idea of what this game is like because they won't find out for over another year.

  • Excuse me for sounding dumb, but I thought this game was coming out in around February next year, not November/December?

  • Comment removed

  • I see. So hopefully this means SEGA are taking their time with this game and making it awesome to the extent that disappointed fans will actually LIKE this game. I`d rather not wait though - I want to race as Sonic in his bitchin' car as soon as possible! *Jumps up and down on chair*

  • I guess Sega didnt learn anything from Sonic Drift....and uhh Sonic Drift 2......or Sonic Riders....and Sonic Riders 2..........I miss the Sonic from the Sonic Adventure games. Then came Sonic Heros, thats when his cool got sold out.

  • Sonic from the Adventure games wasn't perfect either you know -.- Big's gameplay sucked ass.

  • yeah but Big in Sonic Adventure was better than all of Sonic Heros

  • No he wasn't.

  • All of Sonic Heros sucked a sloppy floppy donkey dick. Big In SA was way more entertaining, plus the music was waaaay better

  • No.

    Sonic Adventure was great, nothing more.

    Big sucked, amy sucked, that robot guy sucked..

    Only tails, knux and sonic's gameplay were awesome. The music was cool though. Sonic Heroes was more enjoyable.. but that's just my opinion.

  • E-102 Gamma's levels were cool, and I actually found Amy's missions fun. They were even better when u did the B and C missions. I didnt like Sonic Heros, for multiple reasons, one of them being that everytime you switch characters they say the same damn thing over and over. Another reason is that with team Sonic or Dark the levels take forever. No matter how fast you barrel through them. Then you have to come to a grinding hault to fight enemies....I mean WTF?

  • GAY

  • You know, given that all these characters had cameos in Sonic Riders anyways, this really is just the same game but swapping out hoverboards for go-karts.

  • *sigh*

    Why couldn't they just remake Sonic R? That game was the shit.

    Cause it was a Sonic Racin game?

    Cause it had Tails Doll?

    Cause it made SENSE?

    I dunno, but it was great.

    Ah, the good ol' days...

  • wtf are they thinking.... Sonic in a car? Dumb move is dumb.

  • Why does need to drive a car? We can as fast as the speed of sound. Why is Tails flying a plane? Wouldn't that be cheating because he is in a plane and could fly over the track while everyone else is in car?

  • Do u really think he would be allowed by rules to fly right over the track and the reason Sonics in a car is common sense ITS A KART RACING GAME D>U>H..... Obviously he'd have 2 obey the RULES

  • You obviously don't know how to Sega. You see, I'm from a generation that had good Sonic games. They used to be on the Sega Game Gear, a hand held device that took 8 batteries to run. After Sonic 2, the games became mundane. He doesn't need this! He doesn't need a kart racing game because that is not who he is! He's fast, loves to run, and is cocky! The only modern day game that came close to Sonic's original idea, personality, design was his appearance in Super Smash Brothers Brawl.

  • lol get over it :P

    It's not the end of the world you know XD

  • I know and owning a Sega mega when I was five and having 2 go 2 car boot sales 2 get the cartridges of my favourite characters first EVER adventures But will it rely help by bad mouthing Sega I know I too would prefer sonic to run at blistering speeds through lush and vibrant locations (like sonic unleashed but purely day) and have a the link to the classics as well. BUT that is not gunna happen now so I guess were just gunna have 2 enjoy the ride instead of criticising every mistake Sega makes.

  • Opa-Opa can fly (kinda), but not as high as tails in the trailer.

  • this game looks awesome

  • yh deffinity looks like it would be fun

  • Um i miss the Dreamcast years...with GOOD Sonic Games.......

    and Y would Sonic drive a car...when he can run just as fast....
