Sonic the Hedgehog will be part of Kinect’s initial line-up of titles, with SEGA bringing Sonic Free Riders to the Xbox 360 this holiday. Full-motion body control will allow you to twist and turn your way through a range of visually stunning courses in an action-packed Sonic experience.
Players will be able to control their fully customisable hover board or bike by twisting, turning and jumping as they attempt to cross the finish line first. Choosing from one of your favourite Sonic characters, or your own Avatar, you can reach out and grab a variety of pick-ups along the course. By throwing, shaking, or swinging your arms to launch your weapon, you can gain the competitive edge over your rivals in single or multiplayer races.
“SEGA is immensely excited to be a part of Microsoft’s line up for Kinect for Xbox 360, the full body motion control is an innovative avenue allowing for complete immersion in the game,” commented Gary Knight, Senior Vice President of Marketing at SEGA Europe and SEGA America. “This is a whole new way to play as Sonic! By providing a complete level of freedom, movement and ease of play, Kinect for Xbox 360 and Sonic Free Riders ensures all the family can enjoy the thrill of racing as if they were actually on their hover boards.”
Sonic Free Riders will be available to play with Kinect for Xbox 360 for Holiday 2010.
