In Sonic Riders, Dr. Eggman challenges Sonic and his friends to a Worldwide Grand Prix, and the prize for coming out on top is an ultra-rare Chaos Emerald! Gliding on air boards gamers will experience a heightened sense of Extreme sports-style racing tension as Sonic and his pals perform tricks and stunts over treacherous wide-open terrain. WorthPlaying (http://www.worthplaying.com) recently had a chance to try out a beta build, here is a snip :
Sonic Riders is all about air—every game mechanic centers around it, from speed boosts to defensive maneuvers. Extreme Gears themselves are powered by air—without it, they’ll shut down, and your character is stuck running on the track. Considering just about everyone in this game is a super-speedy mammal, it’s not that much of a speed loss, but it’s just enough to be felt, especially when you’ve got rivals on your tail. In addition to conserving air, you also have to make sure that your characters stay behind you in the pack.
