Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity

Guide Note:

Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity is a racing game for the Nintendo Wii and PS2 featuring Sonic The Hedgehog. It's the fifth racing game in the Sonic the Hedgehog series and the direct sequel to Sonic Riders. The game received below-average reviews from many video game critics.

Gameplay:

As is the case with past Sonic racing games, Sonic speeds through several levels, collecting rings and destroying robots. While riding through a course, players can earn items that either help (rings, boosts) or hurt (ball and chain). In the PlayStation 2 version, the game can be played only by using a DualShock controller. In the Nintendo Wii version, the game can be played by using the wiimote vertically, the wiimote horizontally, or with a GameCube controller. The game has a new feature called the Gear Change. After Sonic collects a certain amount of rings, his gear can be upgraded. The upgrade takes effect during a race.

Game modes:

The game also has three new modes: Survival, Survival Relay and Survival Ball.

• Survival: Each player uses gravity at certain parts of the level to slam objects into their opponents.
• Survival Ball: Much like a soccer game, players try to throw a ball into a goal.
• Survival Relay: It's a team match in which two to four players take part in a relay race.
