View CommentsSonic and All-Stars Racing: Transformed

The sequel to Sonic and Sega All-Stars Racing has been officially announced this morning…and it looks like someone has been playing Mario Kart 7!  Here’s the trailer:

See? Mario Kart 7! To be fair, though, Sega has acknowledged the similarities and is claiming that it will feel different. Aside from the new Flying and boating mechanics, there are also new characters, tracks, and even a story mode. It has been confirmed for release this holiday season, and it appears to be the big Sonic game or the second half of the year. It is coming to PS3, Xbox 360, PS Vita, and Nintendo 3DS, with console exclusives for each. It can also be assumed that Steam will get it eventually, and a Wii U version is being speculated.

So, how excited are you? Do you think this is original, or just Sega milking the Mario Kart formula?
