The original soundtrack was previously missing from recent releases on XBLA/PSN/Steam as well as the PSP re-release Crazy Taxi: Fare Wars. The game is currently priced at £2.99 on the UK app store. Now SEGA have reacquired the rights for the original soundtrack perhaps they can release a patch for the XBLA/PSN versions so we can all enjoy it? Here’s hoping!

Follow on Bluesky @sonicyoda Danica Patrick’s Vehicle in All-Stars Racing Transformed is Inspired by Hot WheelsWednesday, October 10th, 2012This whole Danica Patrick collaboration with Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed is still very weird. If the appearance of Nascar driver Patrick alone wasn’t a bit bizarre then you’ll be even further confused to see the vehicle she’ll be driving. In All-Stars Racing Transformed, Patrick will be driving a vehicle inspired by the Hot Wheels brand of model cars. An actual die-cast Hot Wheels model of the car will also be produced for general release during “the holiday season” (Christmas if you’re not American).
