They don't look loose so much as unresponsive.

Might aswell say a hurricane is a bit of a breeze.

I don't mind the game that much. But since I don't own a Xbox 360, I don't I will be getting the game soon. In fact, I might just next year get an Xbox360 S, and than, next year I might get the kinect. So, it probebly will take me another few years to get the game.

Wow, this trailer makes it look really nice. I am loving the game!

Still, one thing really disturbes me. I have said this before in another tried but because this is just for Sonic Free Riders, lets say it again.
One thing that really boders me is the voice of sonic in this wepon trailer:

Look at Sonic's voice when he hits somebody. His voice is kind of wierd and non sonic like.

Other than that, the game looks awsome. I liked the main theme too. What is it called again?

The new synchro mode in the game looks interesting but I bet it's twice as hard and twice as silly. I do like the fact that Metal Sonic is finally in the game.

The theme's called Free. It's not bad, actually.

Anyway, keep your eyes on RadioSEGA for a review of this, should SEGA wing me a copy. It might even be a video review, we'll see.

I just got this game today and it's great! Out of all the starting characters and tracks I seem to be best with Tails and Dolphin Resort. The main theme rules I really like how immersive the Kinect makes it. The only time the controls were unresponsive for me was when I was Sonic in Magma Rift.

Now that I've started Story Mode I can comment more on the voices. Tails is excellent, best Tails voice yet. Sonic takes a little getting used to but after watching a Colors cutscene a few times I was cool with it. Roger does a great Sonic. Rouge and Shadow sound a lot like their SA2 VAs, so great improvement from the 4kids actors. Amy sounds a bit odd and I don't liker her new VA as much as the old one, and Cream is much less high-pitched. Overall, I'd say a huge step in the right direction, other than Amy..

Please don't tell me you splashed out on a Kinect just to hear their voices.

On topic, as I don't have a 360 (but I do intend to, but due to the Live Arcade library. I'll just wait until my brother gives me his), I can't get Kinect and Free Riders. But if I did get Kinect, I'd wait until Child of Eden and a decent library was released.
I live here now!

Waiting for hell to freeze over.

To be fair some of the RARE games look alright, but I doubt many developers will do anything but copy release day games and do a poor job of it.

I'd get it for Viva Pinata if they manage to get around the wait for Kinect to select something.
