Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing is a videogame that is happening, and this new video proves it just in case you thought I was lying. This particular video focuses on the PS3 version, and features a collection of douchebags using SIXAXIS steering wheels. They are such douchebags. 

A demo for the game is available to download if you want to check it out. It seems like a pretty decent game, but bugger me if the AI did not want to lose in the slightest. Maybe it's just me, but I really found the CPU opponents to be very frustrating indeed. 

Anyway, enjoy the video.

Fun game. I actually read on Sega's blog that by default the difficulty is set to Advanced, and it's true! If you go into the options before a race you can change that thang.

Ah man, they really DO look like douchebags. Also, the dualshock is getting its own "wii wheel" now? I thought the time had passed when devs thought the SIXAXIS was a good idea.

Now if this game doesn't have item roulette winning I'd consider getting it.

I sure hope Sixaxis controls are optional (and off by default). I do NOT want that crap getting in the way of the pwning of my friends by me, with Robotnik.

I don't think I'm cool enough to play this game. My haircut isn't very interesting, my jeans we on sale for 18 dollars, and nobody has ever come up to me on the street and asked me if I was in a band.

It is nice in a strange way to see Sega return to its roots and use "coolness" as part of their advertising, though.

@Strife381 - That's one of the most glaring issues I have with this game.

Yeah, giving Sonic a car is like giving Aquaman a submarine.

I was enjoying the demo until the fucking commentator kept repeating the dumbest shit.

if what ygro wok said is true then that explains why i kept getting my ass kicked when i played the demo.also the cars don't seem to move all that fast plus at the start of a race it looked like the car stalled and that always put me at the back of the pack for every race which i could never recover from.

Trying the DS demo right now. It's actually good, solid fun. Didn't expect to see the Bonanza Bros. in the demo, though.

Sonic not only drives but when he powers up, he flies! Has he broken his legs?

Also, I long for Sonic R music in this title.

Sonic is old, people. He can't run anymore due to severe osteoarthritis.

That's why he's in a car.

I just got on PSN to download the demo, and it's not there. So apparently it's only on XBL. There was a banner on the front page of the PSN store advertising The Time Traveler's Wife, though. Good to see they know their target audience.

I hate that 'couch cam' that everyone uses to advertise their casual games now, damn Nintendo.

Also, why doesn't Sonic just run?

To the people saying "Why does Sonic need a car:

1. You're not original or smart
2. It's a game about a talking hedgehog, so there goes reality
3. Would you have him win every race in 5 seconds
4. ...........I don't really have a four, but it kinda sad Sega has to put Sonic in the name to sell it.

Y'know what part i can't help but lol at...
the part where sonic becomes super sonic, GETS OUT OF THE CAR, and races ahead of everyone...
It's like they're lampshading how ridiculous it is

I'm pretty excited for it, it seems to cover very well what matters me the most: the tracks.

Don't worry Jim...even the most slovenly of men eventually loses their virginity. Don't take your despair out on random extras in a commercial...it's all good...you'll get there, buddy.

@Super Drybones
4. He's already done it on the Game Gear. Twice.

I agree that that question is just tiring now. Maybe that's it: He's tired. I can run, but i'd much rather go to work everyday in a car.

"It seems like a pretty decent game, but bugger me if the AI did not want to lose in the slightest. Maybe it's just me, but I really found the CPU opponents to be very frustrating indeed."
The standard dificulty in the demo is advanced, which is probably the reason why the AI really doesn't want to lose.
