It's a new and improved Sonic Riders with plenty of new tracks and characters to enjoy. It's a must-have for Sonic fans and a "might-enjoy" for aces of the racing genre, especially for those who like F-Zero and Wipeout.

There’s no denying the entertainment that could come from a blazing fast Sonic racing title, but the Riders franchise has tried twice, and both times failed to deliver solid control and a true sense of speed.

As with the original " Sonic Riders", a large segment of the gaming populace will likely fine Zero Gravity immensely frustrating. [Feb 2008, p.90]

A great game, easy to pick up and play thanks to its simple controls with the Wiimote, and tons of fun once you get the hang of it!

While it’s often overshadowed by the original, Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity is actually a super chill and stylish sequel once you get the hang of the new **** biggest draw is the Gravity Control, which lets you pull off these massive, physics-defying drifts that feel way more satisfying than the original's pit-stop system. It’s a lot more beginner-friendly since they simplified the trick system, so you aren't constantly worrying about your air gauge. Plus, the soundtrack is top-tier—it has this polished, futuristic electronic vibe that fits the "Zero G" aesthetic perfectly.

A surprisingly fun effort, but it's just not as solid as it should be (the controls in particular) and the overly complex mechanics might put the more casual Sonic fans off. [Mar 2008, p.84]

Not dreadful but not great: another shotgun marriage between Sonic and the Wii. [Mar 2008, p.72]

I really liked this game a lot. I really enjoyed it when those days of quarantine passed about 6 years ago. Obviously the difficulty of Sonic Riders Zero Gravity is difficult but I really like the amount of circuits, the soundtrack and even the cameos of other SEGA games, characters like NiGHTS and Billy The Hatcher and others. Even so, I complain a little because this game received a grade of 56. Perhaps there was a lot of exaggeration due to its difficulty. I mean, it's not a bad or frustrating game. It's too entertaining and even more so with friends. Hopefully this game can have another sequel in the future.

If you can suffer the controls or have GameCube controllers lying around, it's not a bad kickback-n-relax option for some speedy cartoon laps. [Apr 2008, p.81]

Zero Gravity does not earn any of The Wiire's awards simply because the game does not excel in any category.

It’s sad, really. Now that Sega’s console days have gone the way of the Colecovision, Sonic just doesn’t get the respect that he used to.

The controls -- namely character acceleration -- feel awkward and counterintuitive; for instance, you're forced to hold forward on the left stick to accelerate while also trying to steer your character. The tracks are a mishmash of right-angle turns and jumps that sometimes lead you down random paths, requiring several runs just find your way around the track.

Yet another black mark on Sega's formerly meaningful name, and easily one of the most disappointing Sonic games ever made.

Ich sag es mal so: Sonic riders Zero gravity ist um einiges besserals der vorgänger der main track ist besser algemein ist die musik besser und das Konzept der arc of cosmos erinnert mich sehr stark an meinen lieblings sonic charakter Silver the hedgehog

Its impossible to move your character, and it took me several tries just to beat the first level, in fact every level i had to redo multiple times to pass. its way to frustrating and the controls are terrible.

Я фанат игры sonic riders , но к моему удивлению была и 2 часть и я решил в нее поиграть затем почитал немного коментов я решил что игра смешаная . После того как я прошел игру я решил для себя что это самый худший продукт в который когда либо играл , просто пиздец и ужас моих глаз. можно сказать что взяли 1 часть переделали весь дизайн добавили новую историю и причем такую хуевую что хуже не найти , и взяли пол игры и сделали худше . я только и делал что просто ездил по трассам и по некоторым проход по несколько раз все потому что каким то хуем ИИ меня просто перед финишом перегонял . печально за тех людей что считают 2 часть лучше чем 1 ведь 1 часть во много раз лучше и динамичная я бы так сказал )

These gravity-altering powers can transform walls into tracks, or create a "black hole" that sucks you through for the ultimate speed boost, and allows for an entirely new way to gain a leg up on your competitors.
