The Riders franchise is one of the cooler Sonic spinoffs imo. All the way down to the art direction and soundtracks (leaning toward the first game mostly)

"EXTREME GEAR" hell yeah dude

Replayed both recently and they still held up for me personally, even though the story modes are really short.

First game is really stylish and fun.
Second game was alright - didn't care for the gear changes and the gravity mechanic.
Never played Free Riders, so can't comment on that.

So glad the Babylon Rogues weren't forgetten, their designs are so cool.

How they never fucking made a Sonic anime series with the art style of the first game's intro is beyond me. I would have lost my shit about that as a kid.

Riders 1 is cool. Every other Sonic racing game is playable but synthetic post-Hanson Sonic, including Crossworlds.

The Sonic Riders 1 intro was animated by the same people who would later animate Attack on Titan

There is a Free Riders mod that adds normal gamepad support, you can play it with a software exploit normal x360 or xenia now.

Only played the first one. Took a while to really understand the mechanics. It's just complex enough that you can't jump in blind and just figure it out through practice. There was one race that I kept failing because I didn't quite understand the jumping off ramps and the AI always took the shortcut at the end and I couldn't seem to get it. Once I did figure it out it can be pretty fun but also pretty unbalanced. If you fall behind it's game over.

honestly even with the mod it doesnt hit as hard as riders 1 or zero gravity. riders games are so much more than just the gameplay, the whole thing just oozes style. the only good thing free riders brought was bringing an up-to-date riders sonic (best sonic design btw) to be ported into the boost games. particularly unleashed. otherwise it feels more like mario kart with hoverboards than a true riders game

I just realized this is a clone of Kirby Air Ride.

It’s funny how I’ve known about this game first. It’s kinda like how some people play knock offs Mario kart without knowing it. I was that person with this game.
