What itch did it scratch for you
Try and win a race with Cream using the Gambler board. I fucking dare you.
Jet
High Booster/Darkness/That one bike that can't ride air current other people make
The one with the waterfall at evening I forget the name
Drop out of specialized shortcuts midway for even bigger shortcuts.
Like dropping on the 100 Ring path on that forest stage that isn't white, or just fly all the fucking way to the tunnel on the other side at the noon waterfall stage

The way tricks and boosting worked, I guess. Riders lost any kind of depth it had after the first game.
>>343455489
Shit forgot BGM.
Astral Babylon/that one Boss for ZG, don't remember much of the first.
>>343454169
This fucking game is the reason why my GameCube controllers don't have the rubber on the joystick anymore.
Shits hard, never could beat the final boss.

A pity the jungle level could be cheesed to the point you did whole laps ahead of your opponents.

Does Sonic Riders Wii have online?
If so we should play it
I never played the Wii one
>tfw when I've only played Zero Gravity and only played Free Riders once at a friend's house
I was a sonic fag so I have no idea whether ZG was good or not
Free Riders sucked major ass though
>>343456278
The skill curve was pretty difficult but once you get the hang of timing your ramp jumps and boosting, it gets easier.
>>343456508
General consensus is basically what >>343455729 said as their aspect
Sonic Riders Zero Gravity for the Wii is probably the most baffling game I have ever played.
I didn't at a single point feel as though I was controlling the character. The whole way through it felt like the brief moment where one may find himself pushing buttons while watching a demo that had come on the screen, and not being exactly sure whether or not you're controlling it but not sure of it being a demo either because some movements just happen to correspond with the buttons you press. That's Sonic Riders Zero Gravity.
>>343456508
ZG was okay, but pales in comparison to the original riderswhich is already a flawed game.The tracks were pretty and the music was nice at least.
>>343456351
It doesn't, sorry anon. You could probably get a netplay session going with Dolphin though.
>>343456819
This. The gravity gimmick was cool and all but after a while it just going boring.
>>343456916
It was a nice breath of fresh air at the time where everything was a mario kart clone. Shame it only went downward after the first and Jet Set Radio died...
>>343456916
I wouldn't want to play a racing game with minor input lag.
I'll still play it eventually, loved the gamecube one. Might just be nostalgia though
I should replay that too
>>343456334
Like, pretty much every level could be cheesed by a specific type with the right gear.
High Booster on the first level is unstoppable with a Power character for example, and any Speed character wins Red Canyon by falling into that small hill and boost jumping straight to the wheel thing from there.
>>343456508
1 was good
ZG was eh
Never played Free but from what I saw on youtube i ain't missin anything
literally all free had to do was make the controller optional instead of being kinect exclusive. it wouldve been really solid had it not been for that. fuck. to bad they didnt go back and patch in controller support

At least the music was nice.

oh yeah, free had split screen, thats right. i remember playing it with mybfback then all the time. holding hands and then watching the characters hold onto each other in the game was actually pretty cool.
Underrated music.

>>343458813
real talk, the sci fi/futuristic music and redesigns were really cool. kobayashi took over the music for this game and it shows. (music director for pso/psu)

Holy shit, a Riders thread. Best racing game and this is indisputable, fuck watcha heard.

Sonic and Jet. But more often than not I played as Sonic.

Heavy Bike was my fucking baby. It was. My first experience with 'weight' in a game and was pretty much the perfect vehicle. That chrome finish, whew lad

Splash Canyon easily, but SEGA Carnival day is a very close second.

Much more lighthearted in tone than other Sonic games at the time. Racing involved skill instead of getting lucky with items. Eggman technically succeeds in beating Sonic in this game.
>>343454169
It's been too long, but I'd have to say NiGHTS.
