Fun:
This game just doesn't work under Windows. I have no idea which, if any, OS it will run on but it beat me. I tried 5 different PCs running different variants of XP and Vista in case my machine was stroppy. I gave it to half a dozen friends to try just in case I'm an idiot. Nobody could get it to work. The disk is fine, it installs ok......you just can't run it.
If you try to run it from the disk menu (the launcher) it closes that, goes 'donk' then says "This game can only be run from the launcher". The same thing happens if you run it from the Start menu or even if you get creative and run the launcher twice (I tried everything).
Sending this back would cost me almost as much as I paid in the first place, so Amazon and Sega got away with it.
Save yourself a fiver and your sanity, just try licking your elbow. It's just as frustrating but cheaper.......

Fun:
Just like the previous review says, this game just doesn't launch. We also tried reinstalling it several times, and getting creative with exe files etc but still no joy.
Don't waste your time and money . . . what a load of rubbish.

I find it disappointing that the previous reviewers to this game have not simply tried to relaunch the game a couple of times. This game DOES indeed work. The first time you launch it gives you a message that you must start the game from the launcher. You must wait a few seconds and click to start the game again. This will launch the game.
Sometimes you get the install page but just press exit and launch again. This process is so simple and takes a matter of seconds, and considering how great this game is when you play it, I'm surpised and ashamed that others have not tried this.
THE GAME:
As for the game itself it is a lot of fun. This game is actually more fun than a lot of racing games for the pc as you don't have to hold down an accelerator button, the gears just go as long as you have air. It also helps to play using the pc as you can kind of cheat when you're supposed to be pressing left and right to gain air (just hold down both buttons at the same time and it fills your air gauge instantly).
This game also has the replay factor as there are lots of gears to unlock and some secret tracks too.
The downsides to this game are that very occasionally a track just doesn't load, you get the loading page but nothing happens. The only thing to do is to exit the game by pressing Alt+F4 and re-launch.
Another downside which is completely fixable is if you have a multi-core processor the game might run slow especially the snow battle stage. To fix this simply open the task manager: press Ctrl+Alt+Del when you launch the game go to task manager, find sonic riders under the list of processes, right click on it and select "set affinity" then deselect all the CPUs except 0 or 1 then go back to the game.
I know the above sounds complicated but the game will run easily and once you've done this process a couple of times it's such a quick thing it won't spoil your enjoyment of the game! :)
Oh, and if anyone is wondering I am playing this game on windows vista, and it works!
