Sonic Riders

**Loot** · 02-03-2006, 07:37 PM

This month on the 21st, Sonic Riders will be out.

I don't know about you, but I seriously want Nack in here. He's been out too long. However, the rumors of NiGHTS being in here is certainly pleasing.

Now discuss, foos.

It looks like crap.

Hero Mystic · 02-04-2006, 09:31 AM

The game looks pretty good. Much better than Sonic R it seems. I don't care about the hidden characters much. As long as my two favorite hedgehogs (Sonic and Shadow) are there, I'm just there to see how good the gameplay is.

**Loot** · 02-07-2006, 09:55 PM

I saw a short preview at Target this Sunday, and noticed that one of the stages is a fire stage. Then I noticed it looked VERY similar to one of the Fire Field courses from F-Zero GX. Perhaps we'll see more of the same?

Hero Mystic · 02-08-2006, 06:07 PM

I've seen some priviews online myself. They do look similar to that on F-Zero GX, but I don't expect them all to look like them. Besides, F-Zero and Sonic are like... how many years apart?

**Loot** · 02-08-2006, 06:28 PM

Sega assisted in the work of F-Zero GX, so I don't see any reason why it would be impossible.

Hero Mystic · 02-08-2006, 06:42 PM

Sega only made the Music, not the actual gameplay or maps.

**Loot** · 02-08-2006, 09:11 PM

Seriously? I thought they would of helped with character designs, at least.

Shoot me -_-; Seems like Sega did MOST of the work. That being the case, I wouldn't be surprised if I saw some tracks like F-Zero GX then, but due to orginality, and time differences I don't think that would be the best course of action to take.

UltraLuigi · 02-18-2006, 06:01 PM

Don't you know people? In the WikiPedia review it says that Sega published that F-Zero game! People like to fight these days!

Heh, that's what people have said when they saw the first screenshots of Sonic Rush, but look at how well that game did once they saw it in motion.

Anyway, I saw the commerical this morning and it looks like it will be a awesome game. Atleast I hope it will be better then Sonic R.

Green Giant · 02-22-2006, 12:28 PM

i agree

Sygmeister · 02-22-2006, 04:42 PM

Me too

Irkenwarrior12 · 02-22-2006, 09:52 PM

I now change my opinion. Saw a preview, looks O.K.

**Loot** · 02-24-2006, 09:28 PM

YES! It's offical! Not only is NiGHTS a playable character, but so is Aiai and Ulala.

I'm going to attempt to rent this game this next weekend if our rental place has it. Hopefully they will.

**Loot** · 03-02-2006, 08:54 PM

Awesome, I managed to rent it. It's very hard to adjust to the controls if you're not used to Kirby Air Ride. However, seeing I haven't played that for over a year now, it's taken me a while. Still, this game is pretty fun. I'm on Sand Ruins of Hero Story now, so I might be able to make it to NiGHTS, Aiai, and Ulala.

Chaos Deviot · 03-02-2006, 09:56 PM

I've played it too. It's quite fun, and a real challenge. And people thought Shadow the Hedgehog was hard...

Hero Mystic · 03-03-2006, 05:56 AM

I have the game, it's very good. The controls takes some getting used to (although all I had problem with is cornering) and turbulence (that giant wind that comes behind someone's board) can be a real pain. The game has plenty of replay value with all the extras. My friend loves playing as Shadow and we usually duke it out with a Sonic vs Shadow race. Two problems I have with the game. Story Mode was just meh, nothing spectacular, and the items you get besides air and rings (like bombs and dead-weight) are useless. And where are all the good 2P modes?

Overall I give this an 8.5/10

Hero Mystic · 03-03-2006, 05:56 AM

double post.
