Way better than Sonic R

Story
Eggman's up to something? Again? With the chaos emeralds? Again?

Graphics
A couple FMV's thrown in the mix to tell the story, beautifully done. Game graphics are very solid and lucid.

Sound
The VA are done by the people from SonicX. So if you didn't like Va from the show (i.e Cream) turn sound of or don't select that character. Music is techno/trance mix and loops every 30 seconds or so. It is catchy but those who don't like techno, well try and love it.

Controls
Very hard to master, especially doing perfect turning. You use the L and R to do tight turns which uses "air" (fuel). A button is to jump and perform tricks. B and X is to boost which also uses air.

This game is way better than Sonic R ever was, it has 8 stages compared to it's predecessor's 4. Lots of unlockable characters and boards. Definitely worth a purchase, butt not worth the full price of 60.

  It's takes more patience than some are willing to give, I'll admit, but once you're practiced, nothing compares to this.

  When I first loaded up the story mode, I got very frustrated. I figured that since I was on the first level, I'd have an easy time, right? WRONG! The AI in this games is KILLER! Until you get good, one mistake can cost y... Read Full Review
