I love this game. Sadly, it was scratched by my sister because she pulled the controller and the play station fell. Now there are scratches on the disk. Does anyone know how to remove these scratches?
Major thumbs down to this claiming to be HD just because it was exported in a 1080 upscale. You could at least of found a video with the original smooth frame rate in tact.
I remember playing this game all the time. I love this intro as well. Sonic actually inspired me to be fast, but I was just a kid. But now I'm like one of the fastest in my grade :)
I LOVE THIS GAME!!! I had one copy that ended up breaking cause of my little cousin so I got another one. I wouldn't let anyone touch it. I played it alot. I beat it 30 times total. Then my mom unplugged the PS2 and never put it back. I think she lost it.....I WANT IT BACK SO I CAN PLAY THIS GAME AGAIN!!! I LOVE SONIC!!!!! I LOVE THIS SONG!!! WOOOOOO!!!
@Netherwolf6100 was Sonic Adventure the first? Or was it Shadow the Hedgehog? Those 2 and this are my favorite Sonic game openings. And this short opening is way better than the entire series of Sonic X.
SEGA has kept proving that they are able to make Sonic look good in something that at least resembles a movie (this, Sonic: Night of the Werehog, Sonic Unleashed), so why won't they make an ACTUAL new Sonic TV Show?
I haven't played this game in years. To me this was a god awful game which was annoyingly hard for a racing game, but I will admit this intro was and still is just amazing :D
I was kinda hoping the ingame graphics were going to be similar to the opening scene animation like this. I think that would have been awesome! Either way, second best Sonic videogame opening ever so far. The first for me will always be Sonic CD. The Third Best is Sonic Unleashed.
@MoonknightX9 to me, the CPU was WAAAAAAAY too stupid, which made races very unexciting, ruining the flow of the game. the second game kinda corrected it and made the levels more challenging with even sharper CPU, so it didn't feel like a Sonic Drift rip-off stuck on easy mode. just forget Free Riders. bad controls, terrible story telling, character derailment (except for Sonic and Tails). it was just a mess of a series.
I was kinda hoping the ingame graphics were going to be similar to the opening scene animation like this. I think that would have been awesome! Either way, second best Sonic videogame opening ever so far
It's kind of ashame the sequels completely went off the original format....zero gravity lacked speed and any real intense action and was just highly disapointing. You couldn't freely boost, attack and you have to level up just to get your character's ability(grind, fly, power). I've never played free riders and i probably never will so nothing to say about that one.
mmmmm, good point, plus how do they stay on the board, like when there doing backflips and front flpis? mabye the hoverboards keep the shoes on the hoverbords so they dont fall off
gets boring very easy i have botrh sonic riders and zero gravity both are very easy to beat dont take long at all the story modes only have aboyut 10 to 16 parts in each sounds like a decent bit but its the same tracks over and over so no not to good if your looking for a long addicting game
Angry Joe hates Sonic Free Riders but have he ever played the prequels? I don't know about the second game but I enjoyed playing this first one on the Nintendo Gamecube.
@sonicmaster111111 Me too except that I have it for the PC and the worst part is that it refuses to be installed when choose to do it. Is the game available for the Playstation 2?
@TheOtherSun I know this is a really late reply (2 years late :O) but if you haven't yet played the game, it depends. it is a Sonic Spinoff and you can really tell that, if you are a big fan of Sonic, you may be a little unsatisfied with this game, if you are a moderate Sonic fan you will likely enjoy it if you like games like the SSX series, and if your not a Sonic fan you may also find some of it enjoyable, but it's alot less likely. all and all, I as a fan of Sonic give it a 7.5/10.
Average stuff really. The intro explodes in your face like some kind of epic anime (it really is an epic intro) but when you play the game it's muted stuff.
Loose controls, stupid mechanics and repeated level templates. Stick with Sonic Generations for you Sonic needs and F-Zero GX for you racing needs. Seriously, buy F-Zero GX now!!
oh is this the game for the computer? and SONIC IS EPIC XD
