'Shenmue's' Ryo returns to gaming
Shenmue protagonist Ryo Hazuki will make his long-awaited return to gaming in the upcoming Sega All-Star Racing.

According to Sega, the hero will feature as a playable character in the racer. The developer chose to include Hazuki in the game after being inundated with requests from fans.

The character will ride his borrowed motorcycle around Sega-themed tracks. Players will also have his forklift truck at their disposal to drive opponents off the course.

Hazuki made his debut in the original Shenmue, released for the Sega Dreamcast in 2000. It was followed by Shenmue II in 2001, which was later ported the the Xbox. The sequel left the story in an unresolved cliff-hanger.

Sega All-Star Racing will be released for Xbox 360, PS3, Wii and DS early next year.
