But now the Kinect is here, the game is out. The series itself had earned little respect in the past, and coupled with a new piece of hardware, enthusiasm for the game was mixed. Meanwhile, off in the corner sat Sonic Free Riders.įree Riders, the third game in the Sonic Riders series, made ripples (not waves) in the SEGA community when it was announced to be a launch title for Microsoft’s Kinect. 2010 brought with it some hotly anticipated Sonic titles: The SEGA Superstars returned for All-Star Racing, 2D Sonic returned to consoles and 3D Sonic has cleaned up his act.
As the last of his games hit shelves, so ends a big year for Sonic.
