Woooohooooo what an amazing game!!!! It just breaks the norm of running on foot (i.e. Sonic R) and introduces trciks styling with power ups and methods of thwarting your rivals!!!!!

A whole host of rfershing features...including well animated graphigcs, seasoned gameplay, wonderful storylline (story mode), a whole host of characters (Babylon Rogues, Knuckles, Sonic, Tails, and some unxepcted ones such as Nights and Ulala) and a mind blowing soundtarck for each race track!!!

There are loadsa borads to choose from...but wait there...its not just boards you use...as you complete the story modes you will come acrossother means of transporting your trusty chums across various plains....each with their own fun facts, such as gringin rails, smashing through barriers and using short cuts......

There are a couple of good cutscenes too, including two hlighly rendered ones....you can also unlock various features such as bew characters, mission modes and more....you earn rings whihc you can trade for tems such a new boards etc...

This is one fantastic game, and the difficulty is not so bad...as long as you know what you are doing, which charcter you are using, and how the track is laid out....there is one slight problem if you have a slow processor for the DVD drive, as gameplay is sometimes slow depending on whihc character you are playing...but if you tweak about the settings in the options menu, all sahll be fine in a jiffy..... and ace game!!!! Now you just have to wait for SR 2 to come out!!!!! And for the PS3 as well, wow!!!!!!
