Zero Gravity's story has way more lore than any racing game deserves

[@xyro3633]

The only exception I can think of is Jak X: Combat Racing

[@aubreyoshawott5029]

14:34 that caught me so off guard 😂

[@tailsic]

Finally, someone who like the mission mode in Riders, every other review of this game i've seen, people slam the mission modes, i love that mode, it taught me how to play the game better, it show me shortcuts i never knew about, and it taught me how to do long and high jumps.

[@marcusmccleskey7294]

tailsic agreed ill admit some of the mission were bullshit but they taught me better

[@gennerationx]

Depends on if you were going for super sonic or not 😂

[@lucyrahn8894]

Best part of the game easily

[@its-gary]

Original > Zero Gravity >>>>>>>>> Free Riders

[@doittoem1537]

fax

[@nugentj8]

They need to make a remake of the OG and add a online mode

[@chibie3384]

jon nugent idk if ur joking or not but Tournament Edition exists for Riders and the same with Zero Gravity with a different name

[@Scroteydada]

Regravitified is the sequel's fan version

[@Sydney_Angelyt]

Nah Original > Free Riders > Zero Gravity

[@dinoryano7014]

8:18 I love that tiny joke of you throwing the controller but having the wrist strap on so it doesn't go anywhere

[@shiniejulie8531]

Dino Ryano I thought I was the only one who noticed that thank gosh

[@bakibear9492]

This is one of the best reviews for this trilogy ive seen, I was considering getting free riders cause I tried it when I was younger but. The 360 only is a very big turnoff tbh Loving the editing! I really hope we get another riders game soon for the switch

[@sonartron3549]

One thing sonic always gets right is the music! We need a real third game for the trilogy for switch/ps5/xbox

[@maddy__olsen]

I would kill for an actual third game like the original two they were soooo good

[@pokemastermike1260]

I know it's not important but I love the background free riders uses at around 11:15

[@clifford8372]

the music makes such a big difference idk how to explain its so good

[@penguinmaster7]

this is the first and probably sonic riders review that doesn't treat sonic free riders like a crime against nature

[@vxncebell9441]

Only good thing about Free Riders is the main theme is a BANGER

[@Sydney_Angelyt]

Wow, someone actually giving free riders a fair review, acknoledging it does work.

[@thehalfrican3150]

Zero gravity still has mission mode but I do agree the first is waaaaay better

[@henrykoj]

I knew you’d make a video about this eventually 😂

[@weegeemanxd2591]

I just hate that because of Sega making a poor investment on putting Riders on a console accessory That Nobody Wanted, we’ll most never see a new entry in the series ever again. Let’s just hope it may one day be ported to Steam or modern console during a Sonic Anniversary

[@JonathanPaspula]

If they just made Free Riders a controller game...

[@Sydney_Angelyt]

I liked the kinect and free riders but it’s sad the reception killed the series

[@Sydney_Angelyt]

@@JonathanPaspula the whole point was to make a game for the kinect, the fact they put effort in that makes there be potential means they succeeded in making a great game for the kinect.

[@JonathanPaspula]

@@Sydney_Angelyt untrue, trying to “put in effort” and “have potential” doesn’t mean that the game is great, or even good, or even avoids being bad. That’s the same attitude people that give participation trophies have. You really think Sonic 06 was a good game let alone an okay game? It was ambitious, it had potential, it was their shot at a first next gen game. So why was that game not good? With all due respect, your logic is strange…

[@JonathanPaspula]

@@Sydney_Angelyt Let’s face it, you’re in a minority. Nobody cares for Kinect(except for you I guess), and we all wanted full control of the game within a CONTROLLER. Like the previous two games. Kinect was a fad that fizzled out in about 4-5 years. To put it bluntly, nobody uses it anymore. And the experience of playing Sonic Free Riders was part of the reason why.

[@abrahamlincoln5681]

such underrated gems......... and free riders

[@phillipvelkman2734]

I've always thought the side modes are criminally underrated

[@HidroFalante]

I have to say this: you are one of the best KZbinrs I’ve ever seen on all of KZbin! Your reviews seem so coherent and very explanatory, which I need to train if I want to stay here, hehe. And WHAT? HOW CAN YOU ONLY HAVE 3K SUBS? I know it's a lot, but for this level of quality, I expected 50k or even 80k. You are awesome! Continue with this channel and this style of yours, because your videos are amazing!

[@LUNARSOLSTORM]

4:13 you said it the music is a blast

[@maxfaxjaxdax9778]

Like literally just because you praised mission mode that is the perfect mode

[@ryantylerprest3319]

Zero gravity was my jam! Never heard of free riders tho...

[@crunchwrapsupreme9055]

I knew free riders was bad, but I didn't know why until now

[@JonathanPaspula]

In OG Sonic Riders I liked the Babylon Garden theme more

[@aahiljcat]

Finally someone who has the same opinion as me for free riders

[@notsoshyguy5193]

1:23 idk why I thought that was so funny lol

[@bencapald6601]

best racing trilogy ever made

[@kyuranu2782]

This series should get way more love, but free riders kinda ruined all the chances of that

[@marzelnic1644]

I would love a new game on Switch that had the option for both motion controls with joycons and pro controller support. Kinect was a cool idea but it just sucked in execution

[@mikelent9657]

Mission mode is by far the best

[@xavierrobinson4512]

I never played Free Riders since I don’t have a Kinect but it looks like I didn’t miss much

[@Sydney_Angelyt]

I liked the game

[@abbyschneider9577]

LMAO I wonder how many people are too young to get the joke at the end

[@kenwalkensdeadchannelcanal2886]

A SMOOTH CRIMINAL. Of course peaple who know about jackson's music will understand.

[@ethan1157]

I was way too addicted to mission mode for my own good they are LIT

[@dabudidabudai8628]

Zero gravity is actually one of the best racing games ever created no joke

[@JonathanPaspula]

I really really like Zero gravity but calling it one of the best racing games of all time is a bit of a stretch

[@JonathanPaspula]

I liked Sonic Riders a little better because of the tricking

[@Sydney_Angelyt]

I disagree. Your mileage with the kinect depends on your set up. In Zero Gravity, everyone is equally fucked with the wiimote

[@IcyS7uff828]

My whole life I thought SR1 was better than SRZG. My nostalgia was blinding me. I replayed both recently and wow, Zero Gravity is way better than the first. The gear change system and controls are so good. But if there’s ever a fourth game, I hope they remove the gravity drifting

[@jazzyclair4543]

Please review more kinect games watching you struggle to do moves is hilarious

[@twin_mae2684]

I approve and agree with the free riders review. For I’ve played it as well and I’ve enjoyed it

[@darkwing7851]

Even if the controls are trash the one thing Sonic always does well is music

[@ABC-cz1oo]

Rogue will always be my main

[@BrandonLee365]

Many of us do not accept Free Riders as a real game. I do hope you understand.

[@koj6429]

Sonic Riders has the best opening of all time

[@zeldastan2717]

I remember playing these games so much as a kid even though I sucked

[@kenwalkensdeadchannelcanal2886]

Maybe if you played ir again you could do better.

[@acdragonduck]

First game was great in my opinion, second one I think is superior as I just have a lot more memories a lot more less frustrating experiences with it. Also the motion controls help during submissions where the slippery joystick didn't. Third game was just chaos, and I didn't like it like many, though I think if they brought the camera back and didn't force us to use the Kinect stupid motion controls, I think it could have been a really good game. I honestly don't remember a single course from the third one but bring this back Sega,...... You cowards.

[@davidharrison6487]

I like metal city and sand ruins

[@brynnreid878]

I miss being a kid and playing this when I got home from school

[@kidnamedsid5423]

same :(

[@Solo-iv8zy]

tbh sonic riders is best out of the other 2 games

[@danielvalent8881]

Sand Ruins Song Superiority Squad stand up

[@SuperNate_64]

They should make a Mario kart/sonic riders combo game

[@andreavaliante3781]

Pretty sad that they didn’t do other sonic riders after Sonic free riders

[@Solo-iv8zy]

they shoulld make a new sonic rider game that has the same mechanics gameplay but everything else will be similar/ new

[@lebowser6927]

Sand Ruins GOAT track

[@maurerlisa631]

my main was always tails

[@supermikey6421]

Yooooo I love these games!

[@twin_mae2684]

U forgot to include Nights character unlock in riders and zg

[@ffgamer-xh8hr]

never play zero gravity with a wii remote only gamecube controller

[@Sydney_Angelyt]

you don’t need to twist when jumping.

[@Atreyu192]

I love sonic rider's I wish they remake it for Nintendo switch and by the way have you played sonic forces yet 😀

[@sophiaquintana256]

Yes I agree with you

[@galariangabby6872]

AiAi is sooo cute I want him in more games

[@zgj5516]

I'm surprised you didn't hate on Free Riders more

[@xsuuopnl7502]

Im honestly expecting sonic to be in mario kart 9 so hopefully he can get a hover board

[@jordanhaack7216]

that'd be cool

[@drewmandel4152]

If the do ever make a new one they better add some super obscure sega characters

[@kenziecopran5725]

Free Riders was just a cash grab using the Kinect which may have been the worst idea ever

[@carusgoat9844]

I would love a new game on Switch, but I doubt it'll ever happen

[@Trebxable]

boi he thicc

[@lankyluke1038]

I never even knew there was a third game...

[@maxwelljeudy4129]

They should make a game with controller, motion controls, and body controls all as options but not force any of them

[@Junkyardproduxtions]

It's almost there was a game that offered like literally four ways of controlling the game on Wii and for some reason *Microsoft cough* said fuck that and ruined a franchise.

[@mid-knight322]

Why is mission mode always the best part of any game?

[@kenwalkensdeadchannelcanal2886]

*Because you can unlock extra things!!*

[@ryanfitzmagicman4640]

nah they couldn't let us CHOOSE controller for free riders what do you think they are? good developers? HA

[@Sydney_Angelyt]

The mechanics are changed which makes it impossible to map it to a controller

[@lul8396]

I’m surprised you say the Kinect worked fine for you since it was awful for me

[@taylorbrowner4719]

Why the hell do companies still think motion controls are a good idea they rarely ever work

[@Sydney_Angelyt]

They aren’t inherently bad.

[@vickithevictreebel9941]

Free Riders was so lazy they didn't even make actual cutscenes that's how you know it was bad

[@jackjohnson8185]

Why does it seem like every series you love has some dumb ass game that ruined it

[@randominternetuser29]

You were too nice on free riders that game is a piece of crap the world should never have to look at

[@Sydney_Angelyt]

Not true, as long as the controls work for you (like it did for me), it’s a great game.

[@actionjackson4943]

Every game was worse than the last
