Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing

I'm a huge Mario Kart fan. I've owned and played to death every version on every console. He’s the Mac daddy of kart racers and nobody, not even the Bandicoot could topple the fat mans reign. Now, it seems Sonic wants to get in on the act.

Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing is heading to all home consoles, PC and DS later this month and actually looks as if its going to be giving the moustachioed plumber a decent run for his money.
I've played the demo on 360 which features Banjo and Kazooie as the console specific cameos and it plays well. Fast, slick and incredibly pleasing to the eye.
If the full game can deliver on its promise of varied tracks, with a decent amount of power ups, entertaining weapons and decent multiplayer, then we could have a genuine contender to the throne of karting games party maestro, or summat along those lines...

I'm downloading the PS3 demo as we speak and will update more when I get my grubby little mitts on the full games in a few weeks. I say games because along with a home console version I'll no doubt fork out for a DS version too.
