reading the reviews it seems extremetly fun, and online play could be very fun. Looks great, any input?

Reviews? ive only seen player reviews.

i've rented it and im a bit mixed -- only played it yesterday and a bit today, but the motion controls arent as senstive as excite truck for example, but they arent horrible since you can use the d-pad as well and GC controller.

Its a fun game but its challanging, also i dont really understand how it works, i havent played the first one. Its still fun but its challanging to me.

I just got the game yesterday and I can't be sure about my opinion on it just yet. What I hate about it is the fact that unless you time gravity control just right, you'll most likely crash into stuff. That's probably the most annoying part so far.

But the biggest improvement over the first Riders: THE REMOVAL OF THE ... AIR SYSTEM. That was probably the worst thing about the first Riders (well, I never played it, but i've heard about that)-the fact that, to quote Spax3: "The idea of a Sonic game is RUNNING fast. But in this game, you go fast ON A BOARD, and when your board runs out of air, you run SLOW!" At least here you won't run out of air, but there are times where you end up running for a few seconds. I might get the Classic Controller for the Wii, because using the Wii Remote is kind of hard to turn.

So, I can't say absolutely not to this game just yet, but I bought it for 53 bucks, and so far it's challenging, although like Secret Rings, the controls can be frustrating at first. When I can, I plan to do a review of it once I get farther in it.

well I never played the first one, but I went out on limb and rented it yesterday, and it is definately now high up on my wanted list. It takes a while to get use to, but after I played for 2 hours I was hooked! The only hing that is stopping me from buying it is lack of online multiplayer.

Lack of online multiplayer? Did you get the PS2 version? The Wii version has Wi-fi, if you're talking about that.

Right. I have this one and the first. The first Sonic Riders is better, in controls and graphics ( IMO ). I give it a high 6 or a low 7.

I'm a huge Sonic fan although, I never liked the first Sonic Riders and I'm not even a fan of racing games. Also, this sequel looks exactly like the original which came out two years ago! The only Sonic game that I'm waiting for is the rpg game thats coming out soon for the DS.
