Sonic finally grabs a board and busts a few Tony Hawk(ish) tricks of his own

Mar 27, 2006

What was once a great and respectable franchise has now become a dumping ground for half-baked games.

Everyone from Final Fantasy VII's Cloud to Solid Snake have already geared up for some video grinding over the years. It's not exactly skateboarding or snowboarding, but Sonic Riders is close enough. You'll choose one of 16 characters and guide them down a mountain, through a steamy jungle or into a machinated wasteland while busting tricks and staying ahead of the pack.
