    Good Racing, but first Sonic Riders is better than Sonic Riders ZG because storyline in Sonic Riders ZG worse than in Sonic Riders . Graphics in Sonic Riders ZG as in First Riders and gameplay as in First Riders, but many amazing things is delete . Main Characters in this game are Sonic, Jet, Knuckles, Wave, Tails, Storm as in first Riders and in Sonic Riders ZG Jet, Wave and Storm areGood Racing, but first Sonic Riders is better than Sonic Riders ZG because storyline in Sonic Riders ZG worse than in Sonic Riders . Graphics in Sonic Riders ZG as in First Riders and gameplay as in First Riders, but many amazing things is delete . Main Characters in this game are Sonic, Jet, Knuckles, Wave, Tails, Storm as in first Riders and in Sonic Riders ZG Jet, Wave and Storm are friends for Sonic, but in Sonic Riders Jet, Wave and Storm are enemies for Sonic and his friends and I think this is good game, but in PS2 there are many games about Sonic which the much better than Sonic Riders ZG eg Sonic Unleashed, Shadow The Hedgehog which I rated in 9/10, even First Riders much better than ZG . Sonic Riders ZG is normal game, but isn't amazing game . Expand

    Is all right, sometimes even good, it's too easy and that makes the game become boring quick.

    The controls -- namely character acceleration -- feel awkward and counterintuitive, as you're forced to hold forward on the left stick to accelerate while also trying to steer your character. The tracks are a mishmash of right angle turns and jumps that sometimes lead you down random paths, necessitating several playthroughs of each just find your way around the track.
  2. Awful controls, however, ruin the experience.
  3. It's a new and improved Sonic Riders with plenty of new tracks and characters to enjoy. It's a must-have for Sonic fans and a "might-enjoy" for aces of the racing genre, especially for those who like F-Zero and Wipeout.
