Sonic Free Riders

***Sonic Free Riders*** (ソニック フリーライダーズ Sonikku Furī Raidāzu?) is a 2010 racing video game developed by Sonic Team and published by Sega. The game uses the Xbox 360 Kinect's motion sensor capability released and was released as a Kinect launch title on November 2010. The game was first announced on 14 June 2010 on E3 2010 at Microsoft's Conference. It is the third installment of the ***Sonic Riders series*** (following ***Sonic Riders*** and ***Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity***) and the seventh racing video game in the ***Sonic the Hedgehog series*** overall.

The game received mixed reviews from critics who praised its content, multiplayer options and graphics but was panned for its controls.

## Plot

The plot starts with Dr. Eggman who hosts a second World Grand Prix. However in the announcement, he seems to disguise himself as King Doc, hiding himself from revealing his true identity. This time he pits four teams against one another, rather than two like in the previous EX World Grand Prix, to prove who is the best:

* **Team Heroes:** Sonic, Tails and Knuckles
* **Team Babylon:** Jet, Wave and Storm
* **Team Girls:** Sally, Cream and Amy
* **Team Dark:** Shadow, Rouge and E-10000B
* **Team Vector:** Blaze, Silver and Vector
* **Team Eggman:** Metal Sonic, Dr. Eggman and E-10000G

Each team wins the World Grand Prix as the player goes through the story of each team. In the end, King Doc announced that the competitors still have final races to run. Doctor Eggman decides to drop his disguise and reveals that he attempted to gather the racing data of all of the competitors using Team Dark's E-10000B and challenged them all to a race once again. The doctor loses, who is disappointed that the data he found didn't help him at the slightest. E-10000B breaks down, who is revealed to be Metal Sonic who actually collected the data of every racer and passed on fake info to the doctor. Metal Sonic challenges Sonic to a race, in which Sonic wins. In the end, Eggman runs off without rewarding the prize, however all the team characters agreed that they had fun.
