Inside, High Res Box Art
Today, Sega of America affirmed what many fans had feared–you will pay a full price to play Sonic Free Riders on Microsoft’s Kinect, considered to be the weakest of the three Sonic offerings for the coming Holiday season.
That price will be $49.99, Microsoft’s suggested price for all Kinect titles, and the price given to Kinect’s first party fare. Though it is ten dollars less than a regular XBOX 360 title, many fans have balked at paying such a steep price for it and the $150 hardware needed to play.
No other concrete information was released by Sega to accompany the news–just more mystery. The announcement by SOA community manager Kellie Parker only mentioned a release of SFR during “this Holiday season.” At E3, Microsoft promoted the game as a launch title when Kinect is shipped to stores November 4th. That only one stage has been demoed to the gaming press with about two months to go until launch may suggest Sega wants to take a touch more time with SFR, but that is to be determined.
What was released in addition was the game’s official box art. We have that in high resolution for your review below. Thanks to iFox and ThE InFoRmEr for sending this in. If you have news to share, be sure to share it with us by clicking News Tips at the top of every page.

We finally see how Knuckles looks in Sonic Unleashed styled CGI
no we don’t
what happened to the pics
Tristan- Sorry to ask so many questions, but what happened to the pictures?
Sorry about that, everyone. We just finished a server move, and it appears this story was the lone casualty of that.
Everything should be fixed now.

Is it me or is this the weakest looking Riders boxart yet?
. . . . Just sayin’ . . .
I honestly don’t think Kinect with be that successful, obviously the 3DS will dominate everything it touches. Though Nintendo’s last 3D item failed hard into the ground.
But then again – 3D without glasses is pure win, I always ‘lol’ at Sony making out that wearing glasses everywhere is ‘cool’.
I really like this boxart for some reason, it’s simple and sleek.
Looks so strange to see Sonic in his Unleashed style model in a Riders game. Tails even more so. Knuckles look quite like his rivals model.
@Malady I sooooo want to know what Sonic game is coming out on 3DS! Gamecube graphics on a Nintendo handheld? Hmm, maybe in a few years they could release the SA’s. It’s possible to emulate them on a PSP.
Is it just me or Tails looks fatter.
Agree Edwin
LOOKS AMAZING that BoxArt simply the best, better than all the rest ;P
I like Jet’s gear/hoverboard. =D
