Playable Avatars For All-Stars Racing

Racing Sonic and Sega All-Star Racing allows you to use your own avatar when racing

For the first time ever in a racing game for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system, you will be able to jump in to the game in the form of your Avatar and race against your favourite Sonic & Sega charactersl, claims the developer.

Characters Banjo and Kazooie will return to the console and take to the starting grid in their Bolt Bucket all terrain vehicle.

Working closely with the Rare Studio to bring the characters to life, Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing sees Banjo and Kazooie taking their place on the starting grid alongside Sega characters such as Sonic, AiAi, Amy, Knuckles and Ryo Hazuki.

As well as mastering the drift system, and picking up weapons such as Sonic speed boots and homing rockets along the way, Banjo and his sidekick Kazooie will be able to unleash their own All-Star move in a bid to cross the finish line in pole position.

Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing will also be the first racing game for the Xbox 360 to feature fully playable Avatars. The game allows your Avatar to hop in to the All-Stars Racing Avacar and put your pedal to the metal around Sega world inspired tracks. If you find yourself towards the back of the race, or taking hits from everyone’s weapons, it’s your friends that will come to your rescue in the Avatar All-Star move, with recognisable faces from your Xbox Live Friends List offering a helping hand.

Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing sees Sonic and friends speed around tracks set in medieval castle ramparts, lush rainforests and bustling cities, all taken from the visually rich and varied universes of Sonic and Sega.
