Lol..Get it... "TRICKED off Riders" ?? Oh, I crack myself up..

Anyways, the point of this thread was not about my lame pun. It was about the recent frustration of the 6.6 rating GS gave the game. Well, if you think that was bad. It gets worse....

Go to MeteCritic.com. There's a link to it at the top of gamespot. The collect every review ever written for every game and compile it. Sonic Riders really isn't going over too well with the critics... but then again, who cares?

I don't give a damn about the stupid reviews!  It's a great game and that's all that matters.

The main problem I had with the gamespot revew was they said "a major letdown in sonic riders is the fact that you have to slow down at pit stops to regain air and this will take major time out of your way and possibly let you loose the race" I found that pretty f'd up because the main point of sonic riders is to regain air by pulling off tricks (On mission mode it explained this stratagy very well) I guess Gamespot didn't even bother to try mission mode because I found it easy to complete every stage without even going in the red on EX world GP mode. Other than that I found their review pretty fair and balanced, but as you guys said earlier "who the hell cares!"

Several of the reviewers seem to have missed that one of the POINTS of the game is the air management system. Your air is supposed to go down as you ride (it's not a flaw) and you're supposed to avoid stopping at pits by doing tricks and using skills. Most of the lower scored reviews seem to be by people who somehow missed this basic, and cleary stated concept. Although I agree some of the pit placements are annoying; I've lost two races on Sand Ruin by accidently sliding into the air pits.

I've determined to turn the pits off since even if I run out of air I just run to a jump.

Yeah that it is pretty stupid of them to criticize the main point of the game!

Actually, another thing they criticized were the number of levels! Some actually said 4, some said 5, but no one mentioned 16 from what I recall. Some say the levels lack originality, but that is so false! Also, some reviews mentioned that Sonic Team hardly put any effort into the making of the levels and the game in general. Obviously, they only played the game raning between 5-15 minutes 'cause they obviously didn't even bother unlocking SEGA Carnival or even any other level passed Sand Ruins for that matter!

Incidently, if you look at the actual maps, the levels seem to progressively diverge as you go. Night Chase has one segment different from Metal City, Red Canyon has two path changes, and by the time you get to Dark Desert only the Coliseum is the same - you actually cross it at right angles to the path in Sand Ruins.

They just think different, not everyone has the same view
