Sonic Riders 2 - Snowy Kingdom

[TEAMSLAIN]

at least her ears werent soo freakin stiff like in the first sonic riders lol

[legokid0801]

best racing game ever!

[RingoHero]

I love this level :D This stage owns BK by a mile and wow this Level is perfect for Cream she's so cute in her gear outfit, I'm glad she was also in this game I love how she yells so innocently when doing a gravity dive "Here I Goooo AHA!" LOL I just love that so awesome Cream rocks in this level, This is Her Level for sure :) and Rebbeca Honig was awesome as Cream too.

[Overhazard]

@RingoHero I prefer the first Sonic Riders game. There was more interaction between racers.

[vladandrei1000]

Cream on Gravity Dive: Here i go...Aha!

[MysticSonic007]

they always make cute characters better than they should be

super sonic should NEVER lose to Aiai just cause she had grind >.>

[Overhazard]

@MysticSonic007 "She"? Aiai is male.

[shadowizcool]

@Overhazard what does durabillity do?

[Overhazard]

@shadowizcool It means you don't get pushed around so much when another racer bumps into you, and you don't slow down as much when you hit a wall.

[RingoHero]

@Overhazard

I loved her 4Kids Voice it sounded really sweet and innocent I will say Rebbeca sounded a little high at times but I think Sonic X, MASATWOG and This game is where she shines as Cream The new one is okay IMO BTW you were awesome at this game did you like the first Riders better or this? Personally I loved both but Enjoyed this more.

[renovawolborg]

cream kicks everyone's ass on the cutie scale! EPIC!

[renovawolborg]

cream owns everyone on the cutie scale!!!!!!!!!! :3

[coolmancool29]

This reminds me of playing white cave on sonic riders

[haunterandgengar]

cream is cute and adorable...

[sonic7789]

go cream go



[CheeYoung1995]

Sonic Riders = Roller Skate

[adorablehedgie]

cream kicks ass!

[ivanster2]

If i ever get to race somebody as pro at thsi like you it will be more of a draw than in gears of war chainsaw battles.

[Psycho12317]

Those are the type of shoes Shadow would use.

[secretmelody07M5A]

Hey, do I see Cheese with Cream? That's cute! <3

[alphaweirdo667]

Cream needs more game appearences, I think. At the very least, as a character you can play through the game as after the story mode is over. She's just too cute to resist!

[bartdude82]

lets say you upgrade to MAX Speed UP and then you upgrade to Grind. will you lose the previous upgrade or will you still have the max speed up plus the grind?

[Overhazard]

@bartdude82 No, you'll have both upgrades at the same time.

Upgrades only cancel out the previous ones if they directly contradict each other. An example is the Omnitempus, whose gear changes change the style of the machine between a board, a bike, and an air ride.

[MysticMetalSonic]

Snowy kingdom is so fucking hard!!!

[swimmerforever2008]

Can you do just a normal boost like the first Sonic Riders?

[Overhazard]

@swimmerforever2008 No, the only type of speed boost in this game is the Gravity Dive.

[swimmerforever2008]

@Overhazard why did they take it out ? they shouldn't have done that....

[Overhazard]

@swimmerforever2008 Most likely in an attempt to make people play the game the way they wanted it to. Boosts are so easy to use in Sonic Riders, people did it all the time. I would guess the lead game designers only wanted people to boost once in a while.

So they changed the boost into the Gravity Dive, made the Gravity Dive meter fill up incredibly slowly, pretty much take away your handling in the Gravity Dive, and make the gauge deplete rapidly during one.

[swimmerforever2008]

@Overhazard oh okay, that actually makes sense. Maybe that is better! I ordered my game last week and it's coming in a few days.

[Overhazard]

@swimmerforever2008 Well, I liked the original one better. But I can't complain as I got this one for $15.

[swimmerforever2008]

@Overhazard I got this one for $15 dollars too! I like both, I don't know which one is better though,

[videogameaddict142]

Cream is cute, but annoying (voice wise). Along with Amy and Silver (a bit). I'm going to get thumbed down, aren't I?

[dmjvi]

i know the lap cheat its sooooo easy

[johto3196]

cream pwns epsecially skating

[kopykopykopy]

i oked like she was wearing blue pants O.o

[AiAiFan32]

It's weird that it's looks like day time on this level... I mean its my favorite level on this game but I don't understand why it looks like it's day time on this level...

[Overhazard]

Why wouldn't it? It's probably supposed to be daytime.

[wizard101fan12234]

they have this for wii

[winger280]

I DIDNT KNOW THERE WAS SONIC RIDERS 2

im so freakin late O_o i got the first one but unfortunately it is scratched and unable to be played...

[CreamandPoppufan166]

I luv Cream!

[jjrj10]

Cheese is one of Cream's best friends right?I'm just wondering why on some of Cream's tricks, Cheese shows up.

[Overhazard]

I guess they look more showy with Cheese in them.

[CreamandPoppufan166]

Yeah! I saw Cheese!

[120chico]

I saw him too :D glad to see chaos makeing more apearnces in sonic games :D

[wizard101fan12234]

cream is so cute.

[diddyknux]

I kind of wish levels had more than one stretch that allowed for Meteor Bursts. You can Gravity Dive pretty much anywhere you don't have a tight turn, but most tracks are limited to one place where you can do Meteor Bursts.

[Overhazard]

Well, Mobius Strip has 2. Gigan Device has 2 as well, though you can only go through one per lap. There's also a second one in Crimson Tower, though it tends to lose you more time so I don't use it.

[narutouzumaki556]

i think whoever made cream was an idiot

nobody lkes her she killed the sonic franchise!!!

trust me youll find videos on how cream sucks ....shes a non gayish non foxy tails (yes tails is gay .....wont explain.....think about it) she can fly.....she cant run so very fast......yknow......i think that this was for the girl percentage....but the girls have tails! (again he's gay) so yeah........dont hate me k people???

[Overhazard]

I like Cream, thus proving your assertion incorrect. She's adorable. I just don't like her 4Kids voice.

[Sobe0047]

Cream Pwns! ^_^

[CreamandPoppufan166]

It said in the Sonic Advance 2 manual that she's ALMOST AS FAST as SONIC. Cream is my favorite character, and the Sonic crew wouldn't be complete without her!!! FLY CHARACTERS ARE AWESOME, ESPECIALLY CREAM!!!!!!!!!

[pet1996]

When a character makes a gear change, does he/she say "Air gene"? (Sorry for the spelling)

[Overhazard]

No, they say, "Gear Change."

[alternalose]

Is it just me, or does Cream look oddly natural on skates? She looks like she's been skating her entire life, considering how dainty and shy she is. Oh, and aren't both that little squeak she makes during a gravity slide and her "gear change!" the most adorable quotes ever?

[Overhazard]

She seems pretty natural to me too. I don't know how daintiness and shyness implies that someone skates though. I'd figure it's the other way around and that she's pretty out-of-place through this whole game.

[alternalose]

Oh, I meant what you said about the odd experience on skates. I don't suppose I worded that very well, did I? And yes, she seems way out of place. It wasn't that apparent in the first game, where she did seem to be having a bit of trouble on the board. Did she practice or something?

[Overhazard]

Well, one thing you can count on Cream to have is diligence. She was certainly never incompetent to begin with though, since she started off destroying Eggman's machines way easier than even Sonic could.

Although Blaze is probably more out of place here...or maybe Silver...Oh, heck, they're all out of place except Sonic's core gang and the Babylon Rogues.

[alternalose]

Mm. Well, I haven't seen all of the game yet (we're waaaaaiting.....just kidding, I'll be patient), but so far, she certainly seems oddly skilled on skates.

[Overhazard]

Well, much of the crew in the original Sonic Riders looked out of place too, but then again, this is the sort of thing that's been happening since Super Mario Kart.

[alternalose]

Meh...Well, in the Mario Kart series, it kinda makes sense. The entire cast is in either Karts or simple bikes, which are typically simple to use. Then again, the mario kart wii verssion, with all of the insane tricks, proves me wrong on the simplicity count...

[Overhazard]

Well, I mean regarding the characters actually show up to race at all. For instance, Princess Toadstool would've been far more likely to cheer on Mario than participate. And, of course, any playable character in a Mario Party game is an expert at absolutely everything.

Control in a Mario Kart game is still precise and simple. But yeah, actually the proficiency they all do those tricks means everybody had practiced a lot.

[yytan12]

Cream the lopunny.....

i dunno why...but cream always reminds me of a lopunny...

[Overhazard]

Not Buneary?

[yytan12]

Not really......the long ears for lopunny

[royman6]

that was such a close race

great job on your part

[Jwvermillion]

Like I said before, the AI in this game is more advanced than the first game. However you still managed to win with little to no problem. I knew you can do it!

[foxtrotblues]

What's your username for this game? i wanna see where you're ranked- i'm ranked high up in time attack on the leaderboards and i wanna race your ghost.

[Overhazard]

I don't go online with this game. Actually, I've never even played the Time Attack mode.

[Jasonh980]

Is it easier with the Gamecube controller or just make the maneuver more better since I used the default, (sideways wii remote) control to play this.

[Overhazard]

I'm not sure. I'll try playing with each of the available control schemes and see for myself.

[snowyarticuno]

I still don't get why air gears (AIR GEARS) can be affected by rain & ice so far as traction goes.

YOU ARE RIDING ON AIR

I can only suspend my belief so much, game!

[rpggame16]

I really like the snow effects. Where its like the snow is almost hitting you in the face. 3D is so cool!

[Overhazard]

There was a time when Sony wanted all of the PlayStation games to be 3-D though, and they were forced to do so. 3-D is good, but not when it's forced in your face. Capcom had trouble bringing Mega Man to 3-D, as did Konami with Castlevania.

[PeregrinRaptor]

They had 3 Mega Man X games in 3-D (7, 8, and Command Mission), although X8 was placed in a 2-D environment and CM was an rpg. Both good in my opinion. I have no problem with X7, but Capcom could have done more with it.

[rpggame16]

I guess. At least those games are still good to people. Plus Brawl was a success in being almost 3D. You know when you move the c-stick in the menu and you can change the angle.

[PeregrinRaptor]

Cream gives new meaning to the term "snow bunny."

[Overhazard]

I've never had one of those snacks before. What is a snow bunny anyway?

[snowyarticuno]

I believe it's also a term for ski girls

[PeregrinRaptor]

It's usually a term for lady skiers, but its also a term used for calling a small snow play area. I perfer the lady skier term.

[Overhazard]

Oh, I see. I first saw a "snow bunny" as a shaved ice snack in Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, then I saw more of them in Mairo Party 6.

[PeregrinRaptor]

I play Mario Party 6 from time to time and see the "snow bunnies" in Snowflake Lake. I never played Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, but I love to see the snow bunny snack. Great, now I want a snow bunny snack, lol.

[Overhazard]

Well, they look exactly the way they appear in Snowflake Lake. I think they're some sort of Japanese thing that I, as an American, wouldn't be too familiar with.

[PeregrinRaptor]

I'm American too, and the bunnies are so cute you just want to eat them. Kinda like rice balls with 2 edible leaves on them.

[Overhazard]

You might be right...They may be rice balls with leaves and berries attached to them and not ice.

[TamrielTerror2]

Nice run. I had trouble with this level too. But your right. Once you get the shortcuts out of the way, it becomes easier.

Cream does look like she belongs there.

[ShadowDaPk]

I am REALLY undecided on this game. I can't decide whether I like it or not, because they took away the easy(?) and recognizable Air system/moves, and replaced them with gravity moves that are iffy at times and interesting at others...

guess I'll rent first.

[ZdSquirt458]

well i dont like it :P

[hotdiddykong2]

Yeah its tricky to get through but with the shotcuts its a piece of cake!

That reminds me have anyone noticed how cheap the WIfi ghosts are? once the race starts they start Flying like 50 ft and are in incredible speed o_O!?

[ninjaboyz101]

this is my first look at this game. would you say its better than the first one?

[Overhazard]

To be honest, no. It's slower and there's less interaction between racers. I'd say the stage design is better though, with more things happening in each course and none of those control stick rotation segments.

[kancsar91]

"Why is it called the Cover S? Because it's designed to cover the weaknesses of the typical Speed-type character."

Wait, wha?? You mean Cream is now......SPEED TYPE AND NOT FLY????

[ninterror]

Cream is still a Fly-type character.

[Best1O1]

How come you never took the running paths? At o:43 where you did the Gravity Dive is where the path is

[Overhazard]

Those paths require me to have activated an "Attack" item beforehand that allows them to get running in the first place. You can't get them off their Gear otherwise.

[Artrocks93]

I wonder what Sonic would've done if HE found himself in this winter wonderland...

[b2j135]

Personally, I think this is one of the hardest raceways in the game...especially for beginners.

There are so many turns, & the terrain is slippery.

Even so it's nit the hardest, that title would go to Astral Babylon, depending on what type of gear you using. (NEVER PICK SUPER SONIC ON IT!)

[Overhazard]

Yeah, though I did pick The Crazy for that one. I never got to use the "Magnetic Shield" Gear Change...I might do it over sometime.

The Babylon courses come after the Heroes courses though, so technically, this is the 9th course in the game.

[doomburn]

These two courses remind me of the Green and White Cave in Sonic Riders 2
