The tracks are more frequent (with 12 tracks instead of 6) and the music is really damn good. That was why I love this more just easy to play through a few races with simplified mechanics. If this all sounds easier then the original game, it is. Another power is the Gravity Boost, which lets you fly in the air forward, with every thing you hit giving you more gravity to continue the boost. You can use the B/Square button to do a Gravity Drift, which can either let you navagate tricky corners or actively race on walls. These also unlock new forms for your rides to activiate the different element abilities (Speed, Power, Flight) gives grater importance to ring collection on the track.įixes over the original continue with no more fuel for your ride it works naturally and its replaced with Gravity powers. Every ride you get has 2 or 3 changes that can be activiated when you collect X amount of rings on the track. Gear also works differently, as the leveling up system is gone and replaced with a new mechanic called Gear Change. Unlike the original Riders, tricks are now mapped to using the A button/X button at the right time during ramps, making it a lot more inviting compared to the original. Like the original Riders, it has a two stories to play through, lots of missions to complete and some fixes over the original Riders. Sonic Riders got a sequel in 2008 called Zero Gravity and I personally really enjoyed this game a lot. Overall, good racing game that is very hard to just jump into. This happened with Sonic R too but unlike that game, we have a lot of content to sink into story mode, a mission mode which is quite long, and a number of MP modes to play. The big issue is the amount of tracks, as there are only 5-7 tracks in the whole game. Looks to run on the same Engine as Heroes and is a nice mix between future and colorful locations. Considering the OTHER Sonic’s coming out at this time (2006 one year after Shadow and the same year as 06), its very strong honestly. For a racing game, they are decent and well acted. We also got a Story Mode for both games, with two stories to explore. The rest of the OST is here but its a good soundtrack I feel. The Sega Carnival track is an amazing unlockable with a strong track for the level: …C81F8&index=19 Its very heavy on the techno-sound for the ost and it works really well when mixing in other elements like with the Sand Ruins track: …C81F8&index=10Īlso love the theme of Babylon Guardian too: …9F2A351C0C81F8. The visuals and music are strong, though the latter is the best part of the package.
Nailing a hard trick, grinding rails back to back, not loosing air at all during a race and finding the hidden short cuts it feels really rewarding and makes the hidden depth of this game all the more stronger. But going back to it a few years ago, I really love the hidden depth. Each level makes your attack stronger and raises your Air Gauge amount level 3 is giant compared to the medium-size level 1)įor a what should be a simple kart racer? This is a lot to take in when you boot up the game! I know I hated this when I played it when I was little. Leveling up: You level up to three times. Uses a lot of Air so don’t over-use this. Drifting: Lets you turn sharp turns with the L/R buttons. Boost: Every character has an attack that gets better as you level up (talk about that soon). Land on the ground before your trick ends and it counts.
You hold the A button before jumping off ramps and then flick the stick in any direction many times.
The higher the grade, the more Air you get when you land. Flight has you flying through rings, Power has you punching through objects on the track, Speed lets you grind on rails Air Gauge that acts as your fuel run out of it and you start running (which is slower then riding) You have the following mechanics to deal with: The original game is tricky, as it has a STRONG learning curve. Okay, guys, lets make this racer!” and thus we got Riders 1 on PS2, GC and Xbox. Instead of making a Sonic R sequel or something where everyone runs….Sega thought “Mmm….Tony Hawk + Racing + Hoverboards……this could work, people loved the snowboarding in past 3D Sonics.
#Sonic riders zero gravity characters unlock ps2 series
Super Sonic Racing!) but the Riders series is very strange. We got Sonic Drift 1 & 2 on the Game Gear (which are decent handheld racing games but not the best ever made) and Sonic R (made a thread about this classic here. You all remember Sonic’s past attempts at racing? No, not the All Stars Racing series (which are amazing and are stronger then Mario Kart at points).
