Why Sega!? Why?!

User Rating: 4.4 | Sonic Riders GC

Gameplay (1): Very hard controls. Your speed will decrease during races and boosts don't help you period. The turbulance keeps you speed high but it is very hard to get on it.

Graphics (10): Just like I expected like any other sonic game. Better than Sonic Heroes' graphics and Shadow the Hedgehog's graphics.

Sound (8): Good music, sounds and voices. But what gets annoying all the time is that there is an announcer that is allowed to say *your character's* speed is decreasing and *the computer's* speed is increasing. It just doesn't seem fair.

Value (2): Very, very disappointing. Don't get it unless you're a huge extreme sports fan.

Reviewer's Tilt (5): Worse than Sonic R. In that game, you're speed never decreases unless you're out of control.

Overall Score: 4.4 (Poor)

  It's takes more patience than some are willing to give, I'll admit, but once you're practiced, nothing compares to this.

  When I first loaded up the story mode, I got very frustrated. I figured that since I was on the first level, I'd have an easy time, right? WRONG! The AI in this games is KILLER! Until you get good, one mistake can cost y... Read Full Review
