User Rating: 6 | Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity WII
By RingCollector | Review Date:
Story: The story in this game is crap and does not make much sense at all. Basicily everybody is trying to get these 5 meteorites that can change gravity. If all 5 are collected it will bring an acient starship back to life. Dr.eggman wants the starship to use as a battleship. The Babalon Rouges want the starship to get back to there homeplanet and sonic wants them so eggman cant get them. Basicily what im tying to say is that the storyline is just crap.

Graphics: The graphics are quite nice in this game, both the cutcenes and the background all look nice. One of the best looking wii games around.

Sound/Music: There is nothing wrong or great about the music in this game. The sound effects fit (exept for the end boss, it sounds like an elephant. The voice actors in this game (4kids) are getting as each new
sonic game comes out. (even though I prefere the old sonic voice actors).

Wifi: On online play you do not actually race other people you just exchange highscores and can race ghosts of the top highscores. So its nothing special.

Now to what really matters the..

Gameplay: In thes game you can use the wii remote verticily or horozontily or the gamecube controller. I do not recomend the gamecube controller because if you do it will basicily make the game the same as the old sonic riders (even though the gamecube controller is glitch free). I recomend the wii mote sideways. You can turn by using the contol pad, tiliting the remote or by using gravity wich you can only use a certain amount.

In order to pass someone in a race you must use gravity, which you have a bar of. In order to regain gravity you must do some jumps or get an item bubble. Gravity can be used to turn/drift or to go flying through a stage at intense speeds which you can then bounce of objects (like rocks/walls) for a speed boot and more air. Also you can collect rings in a stage which you can use for gear changes. You can change your gear up to allow to grind/fly get a max speed up ect...
At the end of a race the rings you have left over will be stored and can be spent on new boards that each have thier own unique abillitys and gear changes and stats.

When you first start you can only do hereos story but after you beat it you can do babalon story. Beating storys can unlock secret characters and boards. Another problem with the story is the fact its to short. If your good you can beat the game in a few hours.

Overall this game is allright but has quite a few of problems.
