Pretty fun for a while...
User Rating: 8 | Sonic Riders PC
Sonic Riders is a game in which you control Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and other characters, ride on air boards, and race your opponents. Sonic Riders will put yourself in Sonic's shoes, as he searches for one of the elusive Chaos Emeralds. While this idea seems used, it is a staple of the Sonic series. Sonic, Tails and Knuckles are searching around for the jewel, it gets stolen. This idea starts a string of races which take place on air boards. The races can be fun, but get very annoying when you hit a wall and get stopped until you are eighth, or when you are just slightly ahead of your opponent, and you run out of energy, and (s)he beats you. Arghh! Yes, arghh. Aside from the single-player, multi-player will keep you entertained for a while, but not that long. The soundtrack is OK, I would prefer Disturbed, Metallica and Dream Theater, but techno is OK. Overall, I give the game a 7.9, closest to 8.
