House of the Dead EX cadavers join the lineup, bring Curien Mansion with them
With Halloween on Saturday, ones focus obviously turns to gaming content in proximity to the holiday – a time where you dig out copies of Resident Evil, or Luigi’s Mansion… or maybe even House of the Dead.
Coming from Kori-Maru and Dabbido is a link to a new Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing trailer, featuring none other than the Curien Mansion from the original House of the Dead as a track.
(If you can’t see the above video, click here)
As if stray zombies wandering in to oncoming traffic wasn’t enough, Zombotto and Zombetta from the (as-of-yet Japan exclusive) “House of the Dead EX” Arcade game join the roster of drivers – the pair driving something of a hotrod fueled by vials of luminescent green fluid.
We’ll make sure to keep you guys posted should any more characters or tracks get revealed.

KICK ASS!!! I`m buying this for sure!
Ok. I have to admit it. That looked cool.
Good additions. At least they aren’t generics or annoying Sonic characters. And they have a Wacky Races vibe with a touch of Ice Climbers to them which is pure WIN.
hahah glad to know I wasnt that late xD yeah its Zombotto and Zombetta! you can see her riding him as his all-star move! Well even if its not what I expected any new character is welcome x3
cool but I really want silver or rouge
AWSOME BEST RACING GAME EVER after SONIC R hehe, but still awsome!!!
I hope we can still see there Metal Sonic please, maybe as an unlockble character…
SEEEEEEEEEEGGGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Woow.. They improved
i’am excited. Sega is getting better and better again.
Ok. I know I sound ridiculous saying this, but…..
This looks to be a little bit better than Mario Kart. (imo)
I hope those bias reviewers don’t pan this one like they’ve done w/ Unleashed b/c “Sonic’s in a car and he shouldn’t be! This a Mario rip-off!”. Seriously…. like other franchises didn’t attempt the same thing.
After all, “You can’t spell IGNorant w/o IGN” as the old saying goes.
Heh. Zombies as playable characters. Sounds more and more like a win.
Sorry, I got the name mixed up. Their names are Zobio and Zobiko.
I am very impressed with this. This game looks like it will be very fun!
I’ve been kind of on the cliff with this game, but they’re just making this awesome.
IGN Review:
Awesome Kart Racer! We give it an 8.5!……wait a minute! Yes…..mmhmm…okay we’re gonna have to change that score to an 7.9. We just got a report that Sonic is in a car. What’s that about?!
@ Mike:
lol! xD Good one.
Wouldn’t surprise me if they actually did that.
Awesome trailer!
Altered Beast should make a cameo!
what would be really creepy is if your playing as say, tails or someone and you get mauled by zombies O_O that would haunt me for years lol
This is looking great …I`m so buying the 360 now
Mike : lol
the best racing game ever,but IGN will give it 7.0 or less
the SCARIEST thing for this track to have would be , , , the TAILS DOLL!!!!
Like when ur at last place, he’ll start to chase you or something!
i know he’s not from this games franchise but still!
P.S: this game looks neato!
How many characters are they throwing into this? Not that I’m complaining – all the retro acknowledgement is fantastic to say the least.
Tails : All I heard is 20 are going to playable & in this trailer we got a duo in that car so lets see … Sonic , Tails , Knuckles , Amy , Big , Shadow , Eggman , Billy , Ulala , Aiai , Beat , Alex , Ryo , Amigo & those 2 zombies from House of the Dead EX … 16 characters… if it is 20 only 4 more to go … NiGHTS is most likely to be confirmed next & hopefully the last 3 will be classic characters like Ristar & Vectorman but I`m hope they at least have 25 characters
@ Edwin Shy:
They better put Ristar in there! He’s one of the most requested characters and I think it’d be awesome for him to appear in at least one of these SEGA All-Star games. I was so disappointed when he didn’t show up in AST (Sega’s All-Star Tennis).
I’m a bit disappointed, I really wanted G as a driver…
AWESOME! I LOVE ZOMBIES!!!
AngelJump: I thought Vyse the Blue Rogue was the most requested character.
Angel : Then hope Sega confirms there is more then 20 … plus I discovered Ristar when I got Sonci`s UGC & I loved it a sequel for the DS would work well as well I`d love it if he were in this in a star car
It would be could to see here: Ristar, Vectorman, Taxi Driver, METAL SONIC, Silver, Jet and some character from Bayonetta xD hehe, byt I really want METAL SONIC pleaseeee SUMO Digital…
SEEEGGAAAA THIS GAME ROCKS!
@ udx:
Actually, I said that Ristar was “one” of the most requested. So, I wouldn’t be sure about the most requested of all.
@ Edwin Shy:
I hope so, too! The star car idea would be nice and imagine what the race track would look like if they decided to make one based on his world. It would be cool if you could race in space or in a galaxy somewhere…..
@AngelJump: That would be nice. Personally, I’d like to see Ristar in this game to, and whatever track they may decide to make based on the game he appears in, maybe a Ristar based galaxy would work, or some galaxy far, far away…
Just leave out the Sith lords and the Jedi Knights, if you don’t mind.
SU : Were`re only getting the 7 Sonic characters we got in this plus I think the 7 we got is enough
The roster that I compiled seems to be getting a lot of attention. I made sure that I took everything that Sumo reps have said over the course of this game’s development into account. The positive reaction to it makes me believe that this is going to look very close to the final product. Here is the list:
__Race Car (on-road vehicles)__
Sonic
AiAi
Beat
Amy
Zobio & Zobiko
??? (one of the Crazy Taxi characters; most likely BD Joe or Axel)
__Motorcycle / Scooter (average vehicles)__
Alex Kidd
Ryo Hazuki
Big the Cat
Shadow
??? (Vectorman in his motorcycle form)
??? (Ulala on a scooter)
__Monster Truck / ATV (offroad vehicles)__
Amigo
Dr. Eggman
Knuckles
Billy Hatcher
??? (Gilius Thunderhead on a beast)
??? (Akira Yuki on an ATV)
__Plane / Flying (airborne vehicles)__
Tails
??? (Opa-Opa)
??? (Orta riding a dragon)
??? (Vyse)
??? (NiGHTS)
??? (Ristar)
@Those of you wanting more Sonic characters or more than one character per series are going to be left disappointed. It was already confirmed that Sumo wants to make a diverse game spanding numerous SEGA franchises.
$50 racing bullshit. Thanks a lot, SEGA.
@Steve: Bulls***? Exactly what exactly would you want from Sega that would please you much more than a racing game like this that isn’t even supposed to be directed to people like you ALONE? You do know that Sega does not have to try and please guys like you all the time, right?
kinda reminded me of a track from beetle adventure racing (fun game btw)
Nice trailer. Its sounds nice and clever. Kind of reminds me of Bowser’s Castle race track.
