Tuesday 1st<\/sup> May 2012<\/strong> \u2013 SEGA\u00ae Europe and SEGA\u00ae of America Inc. are excited to announce Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed\u2122<\/em>, a thrilling new racing experience featuring Sonic the Hedgehog and a fantastic cast of SEGA All-Stars competing across land, air and water in vehicles that fully transform from cars, to planes to boats.\u00a0 Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed<\/em> will speed on to the Xbox 360\u00ae video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation\u00ae<\/sup>3 computer entertainment system, PlayStation\u00ae Vita, Nintendo 3DS\u2122 hand-held system and PC Digital Download late in 2012.<\/p>\n

Following on from the huge success of Sonic & SEGA All-Star\u2019s Racing\u2122<\/em>, the characters now have their own unique transforming vehicles designed to take advantage of the varying terrain.\u00a0 The line up on the Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed<\/em> grid sees SEGA favourites \u2013 including Sonic the Hedgehog, Dr Eggman and AiAi \u2013 return to battle against newcomers that include Gilius Thunderhead of Golden Axe and Vyse of Skies of Arcadia.\u00a0 The brand new dynamic environments and tracks in Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed<\/em> are once again inspired by SEGA\u2019s illustrious gaming history. When the road falls away beneath you on Super Monkey Ball\u2019s Temple Trouble track your car transforms into a boat and speeds down the rivers and rapids, whilst the Panzer Dragoon inspired track, Dragon Canyon, takes you into the sky in complete control of your plane, barrel rolling to out-manoeuvre rivals and obstacles before transforming back in to a car and racing to the finish line.<\/p>\n

\u201cGiven the fantastic feedback we received from critics and consumers alike for the first game we really wanted to push the boundaries on our follow up game, Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed<\/em>\u201d commented David Corless, Global Sonic Brand Director.\u00a0 \u201cThe transforming vehicles allow us to do this \u2013 as well as drifting your car around the corners of a track, you get to fly your plane and pilot your boat against others all within one race.\u00a0 Add to this a grid full of star characters, retro IP, fun, fast race modes and cool tracks and racing fans of all ages are sure to love this one!\u201d<\/p>\n

Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed<\/em> also sees the popular All-Star moves return with a brand new mechanic allowing your All-Star bar to power up faster if you race daringly and stylishly.\u00a0 An all new fair weapon system ensures that weapons fired at your vehicle can either be blocked or evaded once you have gained the skills to do so, making each race a unique and exhilarating experience whether it\u2019s on water, in the air or on land.\u00a0 Old rivalries can be settled and new track records set in the enhanced online multiplayer mode, whilst the Grand Prix mode and competitive Battle Arenas will prove that Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed<\/em> is certainly set to change the rules of the race.<\/p>\n
