I bought my son an xbox kinect for Christmas. It came with a free game, Kinect Adventures. I also bought Sonic Free Riders as he is mad into Sonic and would have tired of just one game. Unfortunately he seems to have got more enjoyment out of the Kinect Adventures than he has out of this one. Sonic Free Riders seems to play itself. You need to do little more than stand in front of the kinect sensor. Now and again you can do a 180 degree turn and your character will flip. Other than that it goes, whether you move or not. All in all, we've been disappointed with it.

I tried to play this game at the weekend but ended up giving up after about 20 minutes. Compared to the Adventures game, this one doesn't seem to be as interactive and is definitely less responsive (and considering that's the essence of a Kinect, seems like a complete let down!)
The tutorials are not very helpful - I couldn't complete the jumping tutorial, it gave no indication of where I was going wrong just kept saying that it wasn't easy. I was jumping when instructed and even though I seemed to be getting good ratings (not sure how these were worked out!) I couldn't get past it.
the menu is also annoying, with a sweeping motion that was hard to control. i had to resort to using the controller in the end.
So, I skipped that tutorial and eventually managed to choose the option just to the game. What was very frustrating is that despite swaying from left to right, Sonic just didn't seem to respond. I'd put my arm out to catch rings and it would just pause the game.
very frustrated with it and I will be trading this in as soon as I can.

This game sucks. IT. SUCKS. It will make you want to throw up with the way it whips around at a speed close to making its own sonic boom. Oh my dear sweet baby Jesus. There isn't anything RIGHT with this game. You will cry trying to use the menu, you will feel sick trying to keep up with the game, you will smash into the walls every time you try to turn as much as one tiny centimeter. The whole thing is shockingly useless. If you bought it, don't take it out of the package. Get your money back immediately. If you took it out of the package,......well........God help you son. God help you.

Sonic Free Riders - (XBox 360)
Item arrived in double quick time. Game looks like fun although, as others have said, there are control issues. 10 year old daughter seems to have got the hang of it though.

Sonic for everyone :)
This game had bad reviews but it's very good. The controls aren't easy to full control, and requires a learn curve more than usual. Read more

Sonic is back
Excellent game. A little difficult to master the controls, but as soon as you do it is bags of fun!

Just avoid it! It's so badly made!
Sonic Free Riders is a board game... in that you're travelling on a hoverboard, but this isn't exactly as exciting as Back to the Future II. Read more
