    Sonic riders is an innovative racing game with an awesome soundtrack. At first glance, it might look complicated, but you’ll quickly learn the mechanics. It’s a good alternative to Mario kart with the same level of quality.

    A fast-paced and unique racing game that is one of the best of the Sonic series. This was one of the last uses of Sonic's true creativity.

    Sonic Riders doesn't boast too many tracks, nor does it have an online mode, which is a shame, but a bit of unique futuristic racing with familiar faces is what I'm after these days, and Sonic Riders delivers on that front hands down.
  2. Sonic fans may fill their need for speed here, but everyone else, please walk on.
  3. For the most part, it's overly complicated, and dominated by things designed to stop it being fluid and exciting.
