Gamespot Reveals the New Lava Stage in Action
This evening, Gamespot’s Daily Demo was the Kinect exclusive Sonic Free Riders.
Converted to Youtube by Hero of Legend, the more than six minute demo takes us through menus and some levels, including the new volcano, lava like stage. You’ll see a couple newly confirmed characters, including Rouge, Silver, and Cream the Rabbit. Voice control was also demonstrated.
Bike controls were also demonstrated and then put to the test in the new lava stage. It looks like a very volatile area where players can get burned pretty fast. Check it out for yourself in the new video below. Sonic Free Riders is now out in less than two weeks; stay with TSSZ News for the latest information.













I wonder if you can tell how the new voice actors sound like if you listen closely enough.
Eh, never was crazy about the Kinect, but I’ll keep tabs on Free Riders to see how it does.
I’m pretty sure I saw Shadow in the last trailer.
Oh, and there he is now, my bad. I thought I made an excellent discovery, turns out I’m an idiot. XP
Yay Vector is in & Wave’s new voice sounds very close to Tara Strong
Dang… ITS VECTOR, DAMNIT! YES! About DAMN time we get Chaotix in Riders!
Hopefully Espio and Charmy are in, too. ^^
Seriously, we’ve already got over 16. Awesome.
looks like eggman took a vacation
….Does it have online gameplay or not?!
Oh god….WHY SILVER!?!
It’s good to see Shadow and Rouge on the same team again, because I almost barfed when I found out that Knuckles and Rouge were together in Sonic Rivals 2 (Good thing they didn’t marry). I am hoping that Shadow and Rouge would interact more like they did in Sonic 2006, but I guess that is just my personal opinion. I strongly ship Shadow/Rouge, for many reasons (Knuckles belongs with Tikal/Julie-Su/Shade depending on game or comic, Shadow is straight, Rouge is Shadow’s closest friend that isn’t a robot, Knuckles does not love Rouge, and Shadow and Rouge were a team and had many scenes together in more then one Sonic game).
I am hoping that Marine will be in the game, but then again that is my opinion (I liked Marine in Sonic Rush Adventure and thought she was a good counterpart to Tails).
It will also be interesting to see what the characters sound like, due to most of the Sonic cast having new VAs now. But I guess we don’t know for sure until this game releases.

…Um… Tikal is dead, Marine was annoying and literally served no purpose in Rush Adventure, and Julie-Su isn’t part of the official Sega canon. Julie-Su is copyrighted by Archie Comics. Just getting that out there.
I have a lot of questions about the game.
i want espio and charmy to be in sonic free riders please
