| Review | Rating | Last Updated | Sonic Riders is a pretty fun game!
Having been aware of Sonic Riders because of having seen it advertised here on Amazon, and being a Sonic fan, I decided to pick up the PC version of Sonic Riders. Overall, this is more or less a mascot kart racer except that in Sonic Riders, Sonic and friends (and foes) are on hoverboards. The tracks initially available to you are fun, good looking, reasonably well designed, and challenging (I have the toughest time with Egg Factory and Babylon Garden). The tracks also have shortcuts catered to the various characters' abilities--airborne for flying characters, barriers power oriented characters can plow through, and long straight aways, and grind rails for speed based characters. You also get a good starting selection of characters, and you can see the slots for the unselectable locked characters, of which there are plenty. Having not unlocked any secret tracks, and only 2 new characters so far, I feel the game could have been improved with more tracks available up front. However, as mentioned already, the ones it does have are pretty good, so that counter-balances the effect somewhat. They also seem to have done a good job refining the controls as the controls seem pretty precise and responsive with my gamepad. The game supports rumblepads, and doesn't force you to switch between using your gamepad and keyboard/mouse when you exit to the menus--both of which are features I always hope for in console ports.
The game's OpenGL accelerted graphics are very impressive indeed. On my TV at 1024x768, the game looks simply sublime. The soundtrack is loud, and distinctly techno, but it isn't obnoxious, and sounds great with a surround sound setup. You also get your fairly standard time trial mode, along with mission, battle, gran prix, and even a "survival mode" which I don't know much about because I haven't tried it yet. There's even an exchange shop at the main menu where you can buy (with rings) and exchange your boards and other gear for upgraded items. There's a big focus on skill in this game, with lots of practice involved in getting good at doing tricks (which is loads of fun), and plenty of challenging races and tracks in store. If there are any cons to this game, it's that the game is a little short, and several of the tracks are pretty hard--so it may take a while to unlock the other characters and tracks.
Overall, I tend to like this game. Like most PC Sonic titles, the production values are fairly low. You get a pretty standard box with no flap, no embossing/debossing, or jewel case but you do get a manual (for once) so, that's fairly forgivable. For my money ($20.00) this isn't too bad. The game looks good, is LOADS of fun, sports lots of unlockable tracks and charaters, and is an overall impressive experience. I certainly don't see myself selling or trading it anytime soon, and am pretty satisfied with my purchase. I have to agree with the previous reviewer's complaint of not having any proper way to exit the game aside of alt-F4, but to me, that's a very minor, and easily forgivable quibble with an otherwise impressive game. Sonic Riders is a value title which actually is a good value, and most players will easily get their money's worth. | 4 | Today | good acept for an exit glitch
I see the game more about skill than racing. Your choice of character and how you use each character determins who wins. Your skill determins your speed. In my opinion it is more racing and stratagy than Mario Cart, and it has Sonic The Hedgehog and friends, who can beat that.
One glitch I noticed about the game was that in the full screen mode there is no way to exit the game. In window mode you can close the game by clicking on the X in the top right hand corner of the window, but in the full screen mode you have to press Alt F4 to exit. | 4 | Today |
