Courtesy of TouchArcade, The Appera and IntoMobile come a collection of hands-on Sonic & SEGA All-Star Racing gameplay videos. The game looks quite impressive for an iOS title, especially one that seems to be for all platforms and not just the beefed up iPhone 4 and iPad. Despite being only a pre-alpha build, impressions have been positive!
After the break, check out two more videos featuring B.D. Joe in Tokyo-to, a look at Blizzard Castle and a tour of the menus.

I wish SEGA had reps who knew the names of characters. "Guy from Jet Set Radio" and "Ryu" doesn't cut it.
Brilliant, personally I am not sure about the controls. The motion control is good but a virtual D pad would be a good optional extra. Like the article says its pre-alpha so a long way from finished 🙂
Grant: the 2nd video mentions that the game has (or will have) a virtual d-pad option so that's cool.
ive seen some pretty awesome joysticks that suction cup to iPads and act as near perfect d-pads. They have ones that look like fight sticks and ones that look like analog pads.
But yeah, this release is looking solid. Seems to be new rather than a DS port. Also, fantastic that they used the original music and not the midi versions from SASASR DS.
This looks so much better then the DS game… I'm really suprised how well it looks.
NBA Jam gets the virtual pad right in my opinion. Sonic 4 wasn't bad actually but the spin dash too often was tricky to pull off.
