Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing is finally hitting the App Store and looks every bit as good as the various console versions of the title that have been previously released. This is a full-fledged kart racing game in the vein of Mario Kart, but with Sega characters rather than Nintendo's. The game has been rated quite highly on consoles and should not disappoint racing fans on the iPad or iPhone.
The iDevice version features 15 courses and 10 characters to choose from. Besides racing, players can use various power-ups and weapons to inflict damage on rival karts. Here is the list of the game's features (from the app description):
