This is my third Sonic-themed topic in here in just under 10 minutes. I wonder what could be next...
Of the three Sonic games shown at E3, I must admit this is the one that looks a bit...odd. Not graphically or gameplay wise, mind you. I'm fairly sure you know by now what you're getting with a Riders game (although I don't, having never owned one).
No, I'm talking about the fact that this game has been developed for Kinect, and the fact that you generally look like a bit of a prat whilst playing it. Add in Wii MotionPlus support and you could basically port it to the Wii with little trouble.
Still, I can see it being a game that kids enjoy more than anybody. Early days to say for sure, but my first impressions aren't that great.
Sonic Free Riders
Sonic Riders is one of the sub-series I like the most, and I still play them.
It excited me at first because it was a new entry, I never thought of a possible third version, since it lacks of popularity.
In a way I´m disappointed too, because it´s only for Kinect, and since I don´t own an Xbox 360, and since it´s the console I´ll never get, chances of playing this are almost nil.

I've never actually played a Sonic Riders game. Shock horror! D:
But, this will definitely NOT be the first one I do play. If it was playable without Kinect, I would probably be interested in finally trying it out, but I'm really on the fence with Kinect. If it's gonna cost £100, then I certainly won't be buying it at launch. Least you can play Child of Eden with either Kinect or a control pad; having the choice is nice.

Sonic Free Riders Shows How Bad Kinect Controls Can Be
+1 to Sonic's list of game failures. What's the total now?

^Objection?
I never liked Sonic Riders. But i Loved Zero Gravity (Trust me to enjoy the worse one out of the two). Free riders looks intersting. I shall pick it up if i ever decide to get Kinect and see what i think of it. The main theme (Fly Higher!) sounds awesome and very sonicer riders xD
