Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing to feature Shenmue’s Ryo Hazuki

Sega’s forthcoming racer may sound a bit like Mario Kart with Sega characters, but by throwing Shenmue’s protagonist onto the starting grid next to Dr Robotnik (or Dr Eggman as he’s now known), it’s starting to look stranger and stranger, but in a good way.

Not only can you ride around on Ryo’s classic motorcycle, but you can jump into a fork-lift truck and smash through the opposition (presumably at around 5 miles per hour) for his All-Star move.

If driving at speed with a roster of classic SEGA characters is your thing, check the video above and be sure to save some pennies before its February 2010 release. Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing will be available on PS3, Xbox 360, PC, Wii and DS.
