Reviewed on 2008-05-02 Good enough game, but Amazon totally lied about release date... Good enough game for the price. I really love Sonic, though, and will probably get any/every future game releases... even though they've been steadily going downhill and aren't as fun as the original we all fell in love with. And this one certainly is no exception to that declining trend. What I thoroughly dislike & am actually quite PO'd about, though, is that Amazon totally lied about the release date. Again! Seems to happen more often than not with games listed here. They show the release date as February 12, 2008. How odd, considering the most recent of the nine customer reviews is from July 10, 2007... and the first was done February 21, 2006!!!

Reviewed on 2007-07-10 Don't be fooled by the rating... This game isn't very fun. And the graphics are quite subpar for being a PS2 game. Thank goodness I rented it because if I would have bought it for full price, I'd be kicking myself for it. Is this a horrible game? No. But is it good? I don't think so. The worst thing about it is probably the graphics. Everyone's arms are way too long and that looks very tacky. The gameplay is OK, at times I tried to force myself to play with cool characters such as Knuckles the Echidna but that didn't change the gameplay much. You race on air boards and if I recall correctly, there are special spots where you can get a boost. Oh yeah, and you have to refill your board with air to continue on after a while. I don't think this is even worth 20 bucks. If you can find it for 10 dollars or less, go ahead and try it - you might like it for that price. But if you're smart, you won't purchase it at all. Believe me - I REALLY wanted to like this game. I saw the commercial and thought it looked cool and I'm a big fan of some of the Sonic titles (Sonic Adventure 2: Battle is my favorite) but it just didn't satisfy my tastes. A crappy, nearly-deleted of all signs of life. If you wanna laugh, then get this. But then the hysteria will quickly turn to tears, I swear! Cover Art: B- Inside Art: ? Graphics: F Characters: A+ Character Models: F--- (seriously. never in my god-forsaken Life, have I seen them do THIS much of a piss-poor job with them. Amy and the crew look like their arms have been stretched to all lengths of Hell, in some strange arse torture chamber! YUCK. Wait and see!) Dialogue: D+ Length: B- Overall: D- Third. Worst. Sonic. Game. I've. EVER. E-V-E-R. Experienced. Yes. I. Said. W-O-R-S-E! Than. Sonic. Spinball!!!!! (Mopes Quietly in a Corner) 2 stars.

Reviewed on 2007-01-27 Hours of Fun I got this game for my 6 & 8 y/o kids and they absolutely love it. Not only it is easy to play they have longlasting hours of fun and laughter.

Reviewed on 2007-01-09 Sonic Riders - A slightly pleasant bump in the road to Next-Gen To be honest, I'm not much into racers. However, I *am* into Sonic games, having picked up stinkers like Shadow the Hedgehog just so I can beat it and put it on the shelf to say I have it along with most of the other Sonic games (I have them all in some way, shape or form, except for the Next-Gen Sonic). I'm also a spriter. I saw a project for making the Sonic Riders forms of everyone and jumped on it, renting a copy for myself. Unfortunatelly, it lay unfinished after 2 renews. 2 months later, I finally buy the thing so I can finish my project. And still haven't done that ^.^;; Overall, the game looks cool, has decent overall controls, but was just a way for Sega to give the fans something before the next-gen version came out, and a way to cash in on him one last time before then. Its definitelly a step up from Sonic R, giving the feeling of speed that a Sonic game should and has slightly imaginative features like the character-type specific shortcuts. Overall, if you're a Sonic Fan, get it. If not, go pick up Mario Kart.

Reviewed on 2006-06-16 Nice game choice Sonic riders rocks! There lots of boards characters, and other unlokables. Here's one flaw-Turbulence. It changes were I want to go. For example- if I want to go to an air pit, A turbulence can change my direction! Then I have to wait longer for more air! Other than that, the game ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Buy this game. you wont be sorry.
