Shenmue Protagonist Races for SEGA

Sonic/SEGA's latest race-a-thon will feature a much loved chap, perhaps even more loved than Sonic himself...

Shenmue's leading man, Ryo Hazuki, will make his first playable role since Shenmue II riding a "badass" motorcycle, even being able to switch onto a forklift truck and barge opponents.

For more information, be sure to read the SEGA Blog.

What do you think of Hazuki's inclusion? Can this finally pave the way for the much-desired Shenmue III?
