Sonic Free Riders

About

Sonic Free Riders lets you race as classic characters using Kinect's motion controls. Crouch to slow down, jump to boost, and pull off tricks midair while speeding on bikes, skateboards, or mine carts. Competitors can be knocked out with weapons like homing arrows or explosive rings. The single-player mode has a story campaign while online or local multiplayer lets up to four players battle. The game leans heavily into Kinect's gimmicks which might feel dated now. Released in 2010 it shows its age with repetitive tracks and basic visuals. Community reviews are split, some enjoy the chaotic fun others find it shallow. If you have a Kinect lying around and miss old-school Sonic chaos this could be a quick pick.
