Sonic Riders:


Hiya, it's Allison (Alli Kat =^-^=), creator of Cattail Avenue and Catadian Idol! :D Today, my review is on a game called "Sonic Riders", for Gamecube, Xbox, PS2 and PC. The basic story is that a new gang of mysterious, Air board riding thieves called the Babylon Rogues appear and take the Chaos Emeralds from Sonic and friends. Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Amy enter into an Air Boarding tournament to confront the thieves.

Contrary to the poor reviews this game receives from professionals and Sonic fans alike, I personally think that it's insanely fun, and a great way to blow time on a boring day. The gameplay is fast and exciting, but does get repetitive after a while, with only 5 courses to choose from. The story could use a bit more complexity also, as it follows the generic Sonic formula; "the Emeralds are missing, let's go get them back!" The game controls handle quite smoothly, with the exception of the annoying "Air Release" button.

One of the strong points of the game is the option to choose a playable character; there are 7 characters to start with (more characters are available to unlock after you complete certain tasks), and they each have different strengths and weaknesses. Also, there is a neat feature to upgrade and customize your Air Board. All in all, this is a great game that can be enjoyed by all ages. I give it 4/5, just because of the extremely overused storyline.
