From increased speed and prolonged air time ability to new and more colorful boards you can unlock lots of features that you’ll find to your liking. Even flapping your arms can give Sonic more air time or even help him swim faster when he’s underwater.Īlso, collecting gold rings can give you various upgrades for your hoverboard. Bowling balls can be thrown by doing a bowling gesture, rockets can be directed just like shooting darts and you can even wipe the screen clean when it gets foggy. Not only that you get to jump up and down (no more working out at the gym), you also have to lean over in various positions that will cause Sonic to shift his board one way or another.Įven the powerups that you pick up are controlled by your hand gestures and body movement. Sure, it’s weird having to play a game without any visible controls, but it’s also good exercise. Steering the hoverboard sounds like a lot of fun and guess what, it actually is. Obviously, the Kinect was the only device that Sonic didn’t master up until now going from the old school GameBoy to the Wii and PlayStation consoles, Sega goes full circle and introduces the hedgehog to every major gaming device that has ever been invented. It’s fair to say that you’ve never played a Sonic game like this one before. While there are no actual cinematic scenes and only a bunch of voice acted images, it’s more than enough to get you fully updated on what you goal is: race the bad guys and win (doh).
This time, you get to help Sonic win a hoverboard competition (we all know who’s actually going to do the hovering) and teach the bad guys the same old lesson: don’t mess with Sonic. While the main characters are the same as always (Sonic, Tails and Knuckles) some new villains have been added to spice things up a bit.
With years of history behind him, Sonic still manages to bring out new challenges by taking advantage from the latest gaming hardware, such as the Kinect.
