Sonic Free Riders Review
Short Version: God make it stop! Sonic Free Riders has been my hands down WORST gaming experience since I started the AngryJoeShow. Never in my life has a game made me feel more sick, irritated, and downright annoyed than Sonic Free Riders. I despise everything about this game.
What you’ll Like:
• The time that you spend not playing the game.
• Best Part: Returning it to the game store for a FULL Refund.
What you’ll Hate:
• This game is broken.
• The Terrible Menu Interface – the voice commands need you to speak the name of the button but they dont display the name of the button except for when you have the button selected.
• Also, the game is broken.
• 2-player is a nightmare you dont feel like you have enough room and your movements seem to register even less often than in the single player mode.
• The graphics combined with the sudden direction changes will have you feeling nauseous within the first lap. You will feel sick playing this game.
• Did I mention, the game is broken? It doesn’t work as advertised.
• The soundtrack wears on you quickly.
• Worst Part: Playing it and feeling sick afterwards, even on different play throughs and days – that nasty feeling each time lasted hours and I refuse to forgive this game for it. If a game is this broken and induces this kinda reaction something should have been done to tweak or correct the mechanics.
Final Verdict:
1/10
WTF?!?!

haha my brother is a huge fan of Sonic but he doesnt play it with konect but on the ps with a controller joe you would have liked it that way. BUT its still a bit to fast to enjoy …..BANG A WALL SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITEEE
Well… it was obvious that this game would suck. In PS2 were worst.
Hey Joe Im Gonna Review Sonic Free Riders It Sucks But The Opening Was Ok
HAHAHA! you are THE man! i love your shit bro! keep up the good work!
This is the funniest review I have seen so far.
never played, never want to. No more.
Agree
Gamecube Version of Sonic Riders was actually a decent game with an okay story.
THe damage in is hearth is to great i think …
What amazes me is that this game was even made, it is so awful that words can’t even describe it.
Completely agree with your review Joe
The creators of that game should be fucking sued for making this let you barf in the middle of gameplay it will make you nautios and im sure everyone here is allergic to being nautios.
Umm… Joe, don’t know if you know this or not but companies can pay reviewers to give them higher ratings on their games. So a game that is utter crap that should be a 1/10 becomes a 6 or 7/10…
thats why I hate, IGN and Gamespot, there in it for the money.
thanks for the video Joe. I almost bought this crap.
worst game EVER
I actually thought the music was good. the characters are well sonic and friends. and the levels looked interesting, sadly it has to be in kinect. now ive never used a kinect before but im guessing this game was one of those games that couldnt get it to work right and someone thought they should still sent it out. i mean sonic doesnt always have bad games. Sonic colors was a good game.
There is a game before this that was the same but is SUCKED SO BAD my brother liked it but i HATED IT an they should let sonic die it sucks an isnt good anymore
This game sucked before i even discovered angry joe show a friend of mine was with me and i found sonic free riders i thought it just might be good luckely i downloaded the trial IT SUCKED I COULDN’T F%$KING MOVE… AT ALL I COULD NOT JUMP AND AFTER I DELETED THE TRIAL AND WHEN I SAW THIS REVIEW THIS PIECE OF SH$!T IS WORST THAN I THOUGHT THE MUSIC in sonic is awesome BUT THIS ONE SUCKED I HAVE NOT SEEN THE STORY MODE SO ANGRY JOE EITHER DID NOT TOUCH IT CAUSE ITS SH!T OR THEY DROPPED IT i am happy i got the trail
you fail you don’t about sonic game
Joe 1/10 No Good Nick 6/10 good this game is cool joe all so the kinect voice on sonic free riders work form nick
Hey Joe, go to Newgrounds.com and watch “Sonic Free Riders in 5.5 Minutes” it should wrap up what the game is like to you.
God make it stop! Sonic Free Riders has been my hands down WORST gaming experience since I started the AngryJoeShow.”
Welcome to the Sonic Fandom!
i know this review is old but holy shit “i will fight you on the side of the street! ” is amazing i need that on a shirt
IM JUST GONNA FLIP OUT, you scared the fuck out of me!!!!!!!!!!!!
A friend of mine has this game and just out of curiosity I tried it… almost broke my arm, and the celling lamp, trying to navigate in the menus.
It makes Sonic R, look like Need fo rspeed.
Mai from King of Fighters has a very tight vagina
AND JUST WIPED THEIR FUCKING ASS WITH IT AND THREW IT IN OUR FACE!@1@
No joe look im sorry but this game isnt a 1/10 game…..IT IS A 0 out of goddamn 10=== –10/10 ARGH I CANT BELIEVE MY FRIENDS TALKED ME INTO BUYING THIS SHIT
You’d never have such problems with the interface if you used an actual CONTROLLER! Just goes to show what a pointless, bullshit gimmick Kinect is.
THEY DID WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!1 WTF GUYS SERIOUSLY! YOU MADE A REF TO THE HOVERBOARD FROM BACK TO THE FUTURE! ………………………….I AM WITH WHEN HE GOES TO FIGHT ON THE STREETS! ME 7 MY CREW WOULD FOLLOW JOE WHERE EVER HE’S GOES! TO HELL & BACK!!
See guys it’s not just terrible its TURRIBLE
I love Sonic Riders 1 and 2. I had a feeling that since the 3rd one could not be played with the controller??? Yeah that is not a good sign.
LOL X infinite! I love the theme song and all sonic songs. I’m so glad I never rented this game.
i argree! THIS GAME WONT LET ME FUCKING JUMP CHARGE OR ANYTHING I CROUCNH TO CHARGE IT WONT FUCKING DO IT ARGGGG!
You missed a “fuck” in editing… at about 3:38. Doesn’t bother me, but thought you might like to know.
Joe, while I agree with your review (though honestly I don’t like kinect too much), you should know… velocity includes direction within it, speed is velocity without direction XD /physics nazi… does that even exist?
… Yeah, I’m that much of a geek, lol

Litlle story about this game. Friend bought kinect/xbox bundle that had only this game with it. I helped he to get started with xbox and we tried out this game, (was first kinect experience for me too) after a while we thougt that the sensor was broken. He sent it to the warranty repairs and it came back with a note that said that the fault is in the game not in the sensor =P
LOL
My last comment has 5 dislikes now. WTF?! >:( I mean, come on. This game is actually good, just not for Angry Joe. I still rate it at 7.5/10.
Come on, everybody. Give this game a chance. This game is actually ok, just not to people, especially for Angry Joe. I rate this game a 7.5/10. And also, Joe! YEAH I’M TALKING TO YOU!!!! YOU COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS GAME VERY MUCH AND ONLY LIKING IT FOR HAVING A F**KING REFUND, F**KING S**T FACE!!! And also, when the game has a voice command option, YOU HAVE TO BE MORE SPECIFIC ABOUT WHAT YOU WANT TO PLAY AT, F**KING IDIOT!!! I rate this REVIEW A FIRST, 0/10. THIS REVIEW SSSSUUUUCCCCKKKKED!!! >:(
Please people, don’t be mad at me watching this, then looking at the comments, then finding my name on here. PLZ?!
fuck off hater
joe is doing is job and saving people from wasting their money if u gonna hate then go to other site
joe reviews the game as a gamer and thats the whole point he gives the game to us as a gamer would
so you, corporate commander fanboy can go spread your own fucking bs
im srry but im allergic to bullshit
Jesus. I thought the first Sonic Riders was a worthless pile of dog shit, but, compared to this festering pile of diseased anus, that “game”- and I use the term lightly- was a fucking MASTERPIECE! I tried this abomination at my frined’s place. We are no longer on speaking terms. I would rather spend the rest of my life strapped to a chair, forced to play the DS version of Rabbids Go Home- the only game I ever managed to get a full refund for- for the rest of my days, than ever look at this… this THING again..
i have never seen you that angry, joe . it looks so fucking terrible, and that music sounded so disgusting
i Tried to play this game with my brother he looked at me like i was crazy when we tried two player yes sonic free riders is an insult to god
