Sonic Free Riders Review

THIS GAME SUCKS!


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.

2-player mode!

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.

May the lord himself have mercy on this game and its developers!


Final Verdict:
1/10

WTF?!?!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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..
