The creepy part, you see, is the music behind the trailer. Specifically, it's a parody of the classic holiday tune, "The Twelve Days of Christmas." What's so creepy about that, you ask? We're not exactly sure. Maybe it's just how earnestly it's being sung. Watch for yourself and maybe you'll see what we mean.
Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing Christmas trailer is kinda creepy

For long distance travel. We already know Tails can't fly that far.
SONIC on the other hand can run as much as he wants. He has no excuse. (unless he's just lazy, which would explain a lot)

how did this miss saying "5 GOLDEN RINGS?!!" Why change it when it fits so perfectly with your theme already?!
But seriously this game sounds interesting. I LOVE Mario Kart and hope this is up to par and not a horrible game like that tennis crap they put out.

Didn't seem creepy to me.

The lady singing totally reminds me of Herbert from Family Guy.

This is stupid, none of the other sega characters are even appealing bar sonic. The kids playing this will probably not have heard of half of them.

I can't believe there's so much hate on this game. I'm really looking forward to it and hoping that it turns out well. In gameplay vids I don't like how much the cars turn when you skid round the corner, looks like it's too much and could be too hard to control but otherwise I think it looks good.
There is nothing like Mario Kart on the PS3 and 360 and I welcome it, I would also recommend a decent platformer for the 360 in the same vain of Mario. Sonic games have been bad recently but Karting is a completely different game and I would love for this to be a fun party game.

The one thing that has completely turned me off of the Sonic games since the Dreamcast versions is the horrible music (well, that and the horrible gameplay). The 16 bit and Sega CD versions had great tunes, but all these recent games have that horrible, horrible generic cheesy rock stuff going on. And I won't even start about how horrible it gets when they add in vocals. Ugh.
Oh, and his voice. I hate the stupid cocky voice they gave Sonic. The Sonic games used to be one of my favorites back in the Genesis days, it is so sad to see what he has become.
Good luck competing against ModNation Racers.

Have you listened to ANY of the music from Sonic Unleashed? Listen to that soundtrack and let me know what's bad about it.

Wait Wait Wait... Are you guys defending Crush 40? I usually never say this, but burn in hell.

I despise Crush 40's generic sounding psuedo-glam-metal, or the other whiny sounding pop-punk Green Day-wannabe sounding crap as heard in the recent Sonic games, including Unleashed. That's great that some of you like this stuff, just saying it is not for me and it has destroyed my future interest in this series if they continue to use it.

Getting away from defending the vocals, I actually enjoy the music from the actual levels, both from Sonic Adventure, SA2, and even Sonic Heroes. Honestly, Sonic has a lot of problems, but I wouldn't necessarily count music as one.
The vocals are indeed hit and miss. I love the SA1 and SA2 themes, but I never really liked Sonic and the Secret Rings' theme. And "Sonic Heroes" is just..well, depends on my mood whether I like it or not, but if it's shuffled into the music I'm playing at the moment, I'll listen all the way through.
....
Yes, I have Sonic songs on my iPod. Shush.

Can you see....the sun is shining on mee....

Looks like another one of Sega's multiplats where they're going to make a stripped-down Wii version, despite the fact that everyone (gamers, retailers, marketers, developers, publishers) know that the Wii version is going to sell best, and net them the most profit, just like Sonic Unleashed and Superstars Tennis before it
feh.
feh.

What bothers me the most is the whole "Christmas season, come n get it" trailer, when the game isn't even available for christmas.

Seeing Ryo Hazuki made me sad. Shenmue 1&2 on xbla and someday Shenmue 3 please. :(
