There just seems to be little to almost no recognition for Gamecube games these days, considering Nintendo's focus on their upcoming Revolution video game system. Nevertheless, that still doesn't mean that there are some good games left over to buy. That has also been the case with Sonic The Hedgehog. Although many might've felt he has not been the shadow of himself after the move that Sega stopped making video game consoles years ago, that still doesn't mean there is the possibility of a fierce video game from the blue speed demon. That is where Sega decided to place Mr. fast into another race game. But, does it really deliver the way Sonic does?

Sonic Riders for the Nintnedo Gamecube, is a wild and fierce game that pits Sonic, Tails and company to the mysteries of the Babylon mystical gear, and how the use of the speed can really be fast and furious. The game is highlighted on over sixteen different tracks through several modes including survival mode, and story mode. There are also some new additions to the Sonic franchise that are also added as well including Jet The Hawk, Wave The Swallow and Storm too. The graphics and the courses for the game are extremely wild, but also takes some familiarity towards F-Zero GX which Sega helped Nintendo create and develop a few years ago. The music also is driven to elements of electronica and Pop as well. The control however is a different story. Although it is very easy to pick-up in the game, your air gauge constantly runs out at times, to where you have to manuver on foot instead of with your air board, which can be very frustrating at times, and can often cause you to lose the game. Not only that, but the story line is also a bit hammy, and you have to accomplish thos first through Sonic and Jet's perspective, inorder to unlock the courses.

Despite a few flaws Sonic Riders is a decent game for the Nintendo Gamecube. I like the game because it is challenging, but I just wish it just could've had a little more from the need from blue speed. I honestly suggest you rent this one first, and see if you like this for the Nintendo Gamecube vefore considering buying this speed demon.
