Double the Motion, Double the Fun
Below is a one minute YouTube video from the PunchJump channel detailing two player action on Sonic Free Riders, with the aid of what appears to be just one XBOX Kinect device.
In this video, you’ll see Jet and Tails–and their two respective players in Sega’s enclosure–duke it out on what appears to be the same course previously dissected. That means more demonstration of the variety of motion controls, including the meme-worthy arm flailing needed to swim characters to the surface of water.
If nothing else, this proves local multiplayer capability for 2 people. Beyond that may be doubtful, especially on one Kinect. No clarification has yet been given on any possible online multiplayer component, but considering the combination of motion control and online lag, that too may be a longshot. Still, we’ll keep you informed of anything we hear.

mmmmm…. meh!
I liked it!
Just so AWSOME
, they could lauch Sonic Colors too but well…
Xbox Kinect rule
The Kinect is capable of tracking four people simultaneously. Doesn’t mean the game will have that, but the Kinect is 4 player capable from the box.
Looks okay. Would have been awesome if you actually were in that character and it moved just as you did, but well… this works too. But you could have done it with normal controles much easier.
There still one (trivial) thing I haven’t gotten since the first Riders came out.
How can those ground-based speed pads affect those hoverboards that, obviously,
hover ABOVE THE GROUND?
If they announce a non-Kinect control scheme I can see myself purchasing/downloading this game.
… I need to make an avatar of that arm-flailing. XD
But other than the… slightly embarrassing control scheme (More the better to laugh at the person playing), I actually like the movement.
… Now just imagine kart racing on that thing. XD
