"From the get go Riders looks and feels like a true Sonic title. A selection of eight characters is available out of the box, with promise of another eight as the game goes on. While we didn't get a chance to play the final version, a main "GP" style mode can be assumed, as all 14 tracks get progressively harder. Riders certainly has the look of a Sonic game, and as the first gate opens seasoned Hedgehog players should be right at home. This game moves lightning fast and manages to pull off some incredible visuals while still holding 60 frames per second Impressive."Wow eight riders from the start! And eight more later on! " The basic control also seems a bit undemanding in Riders at this point, and there are too many occurrences where it feels like we are watching the game rather than playing it. To keep the speed of the game continuous, the difficulty has been sacrificed. Many parts of the tracks have no walls, and allow the racers to loop around them in a cinematic but far too mindless fashion. On several occasions we would miss a turn or lose control only to whip around an alternate path and continue on our way. The game simply drives itself in too many areas, and the necessity for skill just wasn't what it should be."Well this title isn't due until earily 2006 here..........they could fix the controls hopefully..... "That being said, Riders can still be pretty fun to play. Both single player and two player modes were available in the demo, and both were fun to blast through multiple times. The game looks stunning, and the production quality overall was great. If fans of the series are looking for an adrenaline rush, and don't mind the overall simplicity of the game, there is still a good chunk of fun to be had."Nice Multiplayer! If it was Online that would be so sweet.... Read more of the story here: http://cube.ign.com/articles/665/665209p1.html

Looks too "extreme" for my taste.

Sounds like any sonic game, hold the analog stick forward and you will have the game beaten in a hour.
But they are still fun.
