Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity Dives into Stores

Tomorrow morning when you roll out of bed, or maybe even this evening depending on you local gaming store, SEGA’s Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity for the PS2 and Wii will be sitting on shelves. The newest racing game starring Sonic has all-new moves, and vehicles which will give players speed boosts with the ability to control gravity.Sonic and friends can now take advantage of two brand new moves – Gravity Control and Gravity Dive. With the push of a button, Gravity Control changes the laws of physics, and alters courses by turning walls into tracks and creating alternate pathways to access new shortcuts and Item Boxes. Then, gamers can get a speed boost with Gravity Dive, which causes objects to hurtle through the air at a high velocity. Using Gravity Dive, players can also grind on objects floating through the air and refill their gravity meter giving them increased air time.

Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity features 18 playable characters – 12 characters from the first Sonic Riders game including Sonic, Knuckles and Tails, and six characters new to the Riders universe including Silver and Blaze. The game also puts players in the driver’s seat with a series of 60 different racing vehicles (known as gear) – some of which can be evolved either through power-ups or using collected rings in the store. Offering both multiplayer and single player modes, the game features Story mode, a single player experience, along with several additional challenges that are available for both single and multiplayer gamers. Multiplayer modes can be played by up to four players and includes Survival Relay (run the relay using Gear as batons), Survival Ball (use Gravity Control to shoot the ball and score), Survival Battle (slam foes with objects using the Gravity powers) and the unlockable World Grand Prix, where players can unlock a circuit and race for the ultimate racing challenge. Finally, gamers can take advantage of the Wii online capabilities via Wi-Fi Connection and upload high scores to the international rankings or race against the ghost of players from around the world to beat international high scores.
