Sega have today revealed that for the first time in a racing game for the Xbox 360 you will be able to jump into the game in the form of your Avatar and race against your favourite Sonic & SEGA characters.

 

Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing will allow your Avatar to hop in to the All-Stars Racing “Avacar” and put your pedal to the metal! 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!

 

Banjo and Kazooie also make a welcome return to the console and take to the starting grid in their Bolt Bucket all terrain vehicle!

 

The game is due for release in early 2010.
