About this product

Product Information

Sega's Sonic-themed racing series returns with a futuristic twist on the high-speed action: gravity-defying hover boards and other flying vehicles. Characters can now turn walls into tracks, conjure up speed-altering black holes, and create shortcuts by altering the world's physics with a single button press. Sixteen courses are available in total, ranging from a densely populated metropolis to a remote destination in outer space. <br><br>While each course offers a number of areas to perform tricks, players will also be able to initiate loop-de-loops, vertical dives, and other techniques with their choice of 60 vehicles. Vessels can be upgraded over time and even swapped in mid-race to access new areas in each zero gravity course. Eighteen colorful characters from previous Sonic titles are included in a choice of three play modes: Free Race, World Grand Prix, and Survival.

    Un-gravitify

    What an amazing game. The main complaint of this game is the controls, I fail to see the issue since it's mainly three buttons (D-pad to move, 2 to jump, 1 for gravity shift.) And there is always the option to use a GameCube controller if you have one. There are 16 tracks, two stories in story mode, free race, grand prix, survival mode, party mode, 21 characters, three character types (Speed, Power and Flight.), 61 vehicles and six vehicle types (Boards, Bikes, Skates, Wheels, Yacht and Air Ride.) All vehicles have their own gears. Gears are upgrades you receive for collecting a specific amount of rings. (Example: 40 rings to unlock rail grinding ability or 70 rings to turn your board into a bike, etc.) Each of the three characters types change how the game is played; Speed is obviously the fastest but has access to rail grinding abilities and enhancing your gravity bar. Power has the ability to punch racers and barricades to reveal short cuts and enhance bike abilities. Flight gives you access to catapults that will boost you into dash rings. Which will allow you to cut through a large majority of the track. Sonic Riders also has items that will help or harm you. You can receive rings, gravity point boost or the ability to hop off your vehicle, uses springs and find secret areas for a short time. Last but certainly not least, the soundtrack. This is one of the greatest sound tracks in the entire sonic franchise. Just look up the Astral Babylon theme to know what I'm talking about. With the beautiful environments, all the content and mind bending track secrets you can discover with the gravity powers, this game does not disappoint. This is my first Sonic Riders game and I am very interested in the series now.

    It’s good but difficult for novices

    The title of this review is pretty self explanatory however I do want to add more to it here. Graphics are great, the story and gameplay are compelling, and it’s overall what I expected after my experience with the original sonic riders game. However this one is difficult for novice players and even I struggled with the controls. It’s super challenging and overly competitive even in story mode. It has high expectations and would only recommend to experienced players due to the difficulty.

  • Play for the aesthetic and charcters, not for deep gameplay

    I really love the design of the environments and technology; it is unique and very appealing. The music and visuals often have a heavier atmosphere that you might expect. The voice overs for the characters in-game are really great and convey loads of personality. Cutscene acting isn't great, though. You can tell the gameplay directors were stronger than the cinematic directors. Speaking of that, the animations of the characters during gameplay are also very fluid and attractive, and *also* convey each character's personality very well. If you happen to be a fan of the cast of characters, the game is fun to play just for them alone. The gameplay itself is rather simplistic. It isn't incredibly strong on its own, though it's inoffensive and really only becomes boring after slightly longer sessions. Unless you wish to unlock everything or you play only sparingly, this won't generally be a problem.

  • Fun but challenging

    Find this game fun to play, however it is challenging. Took a while to figure out how to control the players and movements but once I got that I couldn't stop playing. It's also nice you can have more than one player racing each other.

    Motion controlled Sonic Wii games generally work pretty well, but unfortunately can’t really say the same for Riders Zero Gravity.
