Hello, person. Iā€™m a fella who fancies squirrels, cartoons, a good JRPG, all things Nintendo, root beer, cereal and collecting random things. My page is about music, art, animations (and more, probably).

Out of the Dark Age of Sonic

Posted by Bertn1991 - March 24th, 2023


Well, I finally beat Sonic Free Riders, a Kinect racing game that's actually a grueling exercise program in disguise. Your body is the controller, and you're at the whim of the Kinect's camera to read your movement. It was a journey, and I am thoroughly deceased. I've been pushed to exhaustion multiple times trying to get through this. You'll be leaning left and right, moving your arms around, ducking, jumping, spinning, kicking, punching, shaking an imaginary soda can, and awkwardly failing to navigate menus on your way to besting one of the strangest racing games ever made. For all its flaws, I can't say it wasn't a unique experience.

Now it's on to Sonic Colors :-)

Would you say that by the end of your playthrough you had gotten the hang of knowing how to move in a certain way to get the controls to register reliably, or was it just an unresponsive crapshoot up until the very end?

It's definitely possible to improve at the game and perform somewhat consistently. When it works, it can be fun, but it feels like no matter how good you are at the game, there will always be those moments where it doesn't do what you want it to. And a lot of it depends on how big and well-lit your room is.
