Wonderfull! I was a bit sketchy on this idea at first, but wait till you play this game!
User Rating: 9.7 | Sonic Riders GC
Sonic Riders is a high-speed Sonic the Hedgehog game with all the works! The graphics are amazing! You can even see the stitching on Sonic's gloves. The game-play is blindingly fast and the AIs are tough to beat. The games one & only quirk is the storyline. I'm still wondering why Sonic is rideing a hoverboard in the first place. But besides that this game is an instant winner! There's nothing better rideing your opponents Turbulence, and just before the finish line you shoot off thim and dash through the goal. Everything is crucial. Make a mistake and it'll be real tough for you to get back on track and in any ranks that matter. With a wide selection of Extream Gear to buy, getting the ever present trademark Rings is also crucial to succes. You also, much like Sonic Heroes before it, have 3 different character types to choose from, Speed, Flight, or Power. Do you wan to grind rails, or fly straight through a shortcut? Or maybe dodge obsticals, or just burst your way through them? You decide your style. The two player mode isn't bad either. There is a normal race mode, or you can duke it out in a combat arena. There is also a mode to race a "ghost" of yourself to try and beat a previous time.
Overall, Sonic Riders is a very worthy buy, for long time Sonic fans, or someone just looking for a fast and good game. It's a surprisingly good experience for any gamer.
(PS. To the guy who gave SR a 1.0, maybe you should, I dunno, play the game before you wright a review on it? There are 5 levels in. The. Tournament, not the whole game. There are more in the acual storyline.)
