Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing Coming to iPhone this Spring

Posted by Phillip Levin on March 2nd, 2011

Sega today announced Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing for the iPhone and iPod Touch. The app is scheduled to release in the iTunes App Store this spring.

The game puts you on the race track and in control of some of Sega's most popular characters. Sega has not announced how many characters will be in iOS version, but we do know that some choices include Sonic, AiAi and Dr. Eggman. What's more, each character features his or her own vehicle.

Sega said that there will be numerous different single-player modes, as well as local multiplayer race and battle modes via Bluetooh and Wi-Fi.

The console versions of Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing released last week to good reviews. The Wii version, for instance, has a score of 78 on Metacritic. Assuming the iOS version is similar to the console versions – which, based on screenshots, seems to be the case – Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing is best compared to Nintendo's Mario Kart series.
