Playable Avatars Confirmed for Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing

Here is a quick pre-Christmas treat for those looking for an update on SEGA's new Sonic & SEGA All Stars Racing title.

SEGA's new release is quickly pacing its way to the finish line, and has announced that when released you will be able to play as your own Xbox avatar against other SEGA characters. Hayley Coley from SEGA confirmed:

For the first time ever in a racing game for the Xbox 360, you will be able to jump in to the game in the form of your Avatar and race against your favourite Sonic & SEGA characters. In yet another addition to the character roster and exclusive to the Xbox 360 version, Banjo and Kazooie will make a welcome return to the console and take to the starting grid in their Bolt Bucket all terrain vehicle

Here is a link to the official trailer:

Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing is set for a March 2010 release date, so, if your sick of Mario Kart but still feel the need for some cartoony death racing, this spin off title might be worth a look.

What do you think - will it steal the Mario Kart crown?
