Product Description
The fan-favorite Sonic Riders series returns with a whole new form of chaotic racing by manipulating gravity itself! These gravity-altering powers can transform walls into tracks, or create a "black hole" that sucks you through for the ultimate speed boost, and allows for an entirely new way to gain a leg up on your competitors. From illuminated highways in a bustling metropolis to the outer reaches of space, you will race at the speed of light on 16 dynamic courses. Sixty different vehicles allow you to grind rails and pull off daring tricks on futuristic tracks, including solar loop-de-loops, height-defying vertical drops and tons of other edge-of-your-seat moves. As Sonic or one of 18 colorful characters, you will compete with up to three friends at heart-stopping speeds in three exciting multiplayer modes. With all the action, speed, and addictive game play that only Sonic can deliver, Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity is set for hyper-drive!

 Better than reviews say June 19, 2009

This game is under-rated. Many reviews say that the controls are "sloppy" and "unresponsive." This is not exactly true -- as the game's manual clearly states, some turns are too tight to maneuver without the use of gravity (it can be done, but you have to hit a wall). The game's music is very catchy and unforgettable, to say the least. If you don't like games that move quickly, you probably won't like this game, since it requires you to constantly use the controls no matter what control-scheme you use. The item variety is a bit lacking and you almost always get useless ring power-ups. Still, good power-ups can give you large advantages when used. Overall, this is a great game. With more characters, rides, speed and humor than any Mario Kart, it is one of the best racing games of 2008.
Here's a solution to those who say this game is hard... May 27, 2009

This game is FUN and it's a must-have for those who love Sonic the Hedgehog (like me). As I've read in negative reviews, many people think this game is just too difficult to play. One thing that helps for those who agree, is if you go to options and change the WII remote position to VERTICAL MODE rather than it's default HORIZANTAL MODE. Seriously, it's WAAAAAAAY easier to play the game that way! It'll still take some time to get used to, but once you have it, it'll be EASY and a total blast! I highly recommend this game and changing the WII remote settings to VERTICAL MODE. Enjoy!
 Yeah, just get Mario Kart April 4, 2009

My friend made me play this game one day. I just hated the game! I was playing great and was hitting nothing just swerving through the course until I saw that I was in last place, wayyyyyy behind. How could that happen? I was playing perfectly! My friend said I had to do some gravity thing to go faster... but that didn't work. Now when my friend gets mad at me, he forces me to play this terrible game even though he knows that I just can't stand even looking at Sonic.
If you want a fun racing game, get Mario Kart Wii. The courses are much better and there is a better selection of characters.

Story 8/10: The storyline plots are still decent this time. I give the storyline a score of eight because its prequel (Sonic Riders for Nintendo Gamecube, another game I recommend) had funnier twists in the hero's plot. You can't really beat Amy trying to whack Sonic with her hammer as the hero ending for the prequel... The storyline for this game, however, is still great. Amy shows up and plays a slightly more important role in the plot, and she is still Sonic's self proclaimed girlfriend. Although some humor is in the Hero storyline, you'll once again laugh harder at the Babylon Rogues storyline, where the real humor always stands. The cutscenes themselves are better done, and don't look choppy at all like the prequel. Finally, the story is a lot more engaging as you try to find out different secrets in the Hero's journey, and the Babylon Rogue's journey. Please bear in mind, however, you don't get both storylines from the start; you have to complete the Hero's storyline first before you get the more comedic Babylon Rogue's story.
 Hard! February 17, 2009

I bought this game for our family daughter 7, son 4 and us to play. It is hard! Kids can hardly play at all, and it is very difficult for my husband and I. It goes way to fast and the controls are all over the place. Save the money!
