Sonic and SEGA All-Stars Racing Halloween Trailer


"When darkness falls and thunder drums, something speedy this way comes."

I'm not sure if this is a new thing with all videogames, or just SEGA embracing the Halloween holiday (see also my SEGA Bayonetta post HERE).

SEGA has released a Halloween-themed TRAILER for their new racing game "SEGA All-Stars Racing."
It's pretty um, "Halloweeny" in its choices too.  It starts out with a flash of a jack o' lantern over the SEGA logo and then the spooky narrator does a modified quote from Ray Bradbury's Something Wicked This Way Comes.
Bats fly across a full moon.
It's certainly got the goods... until the racers show up.  Then it's pretty much a racing game commercial.

Further research reveals that there is a playable character from House of the Dead EX and a House of the Dead-themed track too.  Which must be where the spooky imagery at the beginning of the trailer comes from.

Might be worth checking out for some Halloween gaming, or just enjoy from afar through THIS trailer.
