There are sequences where you'll be put on an automatic rail and be instructed to wiggle the control stick or alternate between key presses to boost turbo (called air). Getting better equipment and using different character types can make the races easier to manage, but they're never close to precise. Trying to properly maintain a line through bonus hoops is frustrating because the jumping is so inexact, and the trick system is regrettably shallow. The air-boards Sonic and his buddies glide around on control poorly, bouncing awkwardly off walls and turning at strange angles. There's also Free Race, Time Attack, and World Grand Prix modes, a Tag mode, and Race and Battle stage variations of a Survival mode. In addition to the story for Sonic and friends, there's a separate one for his enemies, though the tracks are quite similar.
Since he's a super villain, it makes sense that Eggman eventually steals all the Chaos Emeralds after the story mode's fifth race, prompting a sixth race amongst Babylon's ruins. The winner gets a bunch of Chaos Emeralds, which unlocks long lost Babylon. Its vaguely comprehensible plot points involve Eggman setting up an air-board tournament for Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and his various cartoonish enemies. There's a story mode, though there isn't much of a story. The game's got a quite a few modes of play, a few of which support up to two people. The PC version of Sonic Riders is finally here. Up to four speed demons can compete in racing, battle, and tag modes, with the latter supporting cooperative play. Players can use the stockpiled air at any time during the competition for more precise cornering, a speed boost, or to create a tornado to temporarily stun pursuing rivals. Another feature of the game is an air meter, which is filled by performing tricks and unleashing massive jumps. Characters are individually rated in speed, power, and flight, while over 30 types of ability-enhancing equipment are available to further customize riders.Īs in traditional skateboard and snowboard titles, players can perform a number of grabs, spins, and other tricks, but the air boards have the added ability to create turbulence, which players can strategically use to draft behind their rivals.
Sonic and close friends Tails, Knuckles, Amy Rose, and Cream the Rabbit must defeat Eggman's dream team of riders, known collectively as the Babylon Rogues. Eggman plays host to an intergalactic tournament spanning 14 tracks, from the industrial Metal City to the tropical Splash Canyon, each filled with ramps, rails, tunnels, alternate routes, and plenty of gold rings. Sonic Riders finds the iconic hedgehog taking a breather from his platform exploits and engaging in high-speed air board races with 16 of his beastly buddies.
