Honestly, if that just would have done that very thing this game would have probably still been overshadowed by colors and 4 at the time but it would have still been remembered fondly. But no let's be stupid and not program controller options and just kill the riders series on a disrespectful note. If the cutscenes didn't do it already.
not really, it may seem hard, but if you go through the tutorial and make sure kinect is calibrated correctly, it actually plays very well. I have the game and I feel that people count this game out way too easy because of the BS reviews. It is my favorite kinect game I have and everyone should try it. Just keep in mind that when calibrating movements before each race, make sure to use minimal movement for leaning so the game tracks you better
Bowens92 nooooo It’s not that we’re too lazy The motion controls are absolutely terrible and make it a hell of a challenge to control I’ll admit that Free Riders is a good game, but it suffers from a poor control scheme much like Star Fox Zero
@@CrasherX2000 lol it wasn't even bad when I played it. Only time motion controls are messed up is in story mode, it's like it's made that way to prevent easy S Ranks.
Bowens92 never said it’s bad It looks like a really fun game and this run shows it Unfortunately the motion controls, especially for first-timers, just don’t really work all that well
I think this game was great.I have it.The Kinect may have been kinda weird but somehow if you calibrated this correctly it played decently.Regardless though I do think playing any of the riders games is better with controller and tbh using the Kinect for the only riders game with such nice graphics is very off putting.If they ever decide to bring riders back I honestly think it’d be amazing
Daniel Parker because Jason Griffith, the voice of Sonic, Shadow, and Jet, stopped doing voice acting for those characters after Sonic and SEGA All-Stars Racing was released. Jet is now voiced by Michael Yurchak.
@@GJYYNGII Sega shifted from 4Kids to Studiopolis in 2010. Everyone got recast except Mike Pollock who's performance as Eggman was insanely popular in the fandom and within Sega itself.
I've played this game before and that icon at the top showing a RED HUMAN means there is nobody in place....How are you playing that without standing in front of the kinect? Are You using a Controller?
Actually maybe he tased the whole video series he was doing. So the red body featured in the video is probably a leftover from a earlier tas he was preparing for his final video here.
@@Sydney_Angelyt i am considering this game, but the bad controls and how much cobi struggled at the game does throw me off alot, i dont really want to hurt my back turning the board and actually jump in real life to jump in the game, it sounds like a hassle to play, is it worth it?
iirc to get an X trick normally you *have* to charge the jump before you hit the ramp and spin, but the purple gear OP's using sends your trick up a level, turning some of what should be S+ tricks into X tricks
I really feel like they should've let the Kinect cook for a while longer. Really perfect the technology before starting mass production. Because I honestly think it was the Kinect's fault this game failed, not the game itself. There are so many cool and interesting ideas for mechanics, but the Kinect's sensor is just too primitive to pick up on the motions. If they had just waited, maybe one or two more years to really get this working perfectly, then I honestly think this would've been tied for the best game in the Riders franchise. There's so much good in this game. The music, the track layout and setpeices, returning to the original game's air mechanics instead of gravity points, the reaching mechanics. But the Kinect's sensor ultimately let it down. I'd like to see what can be done with modern technology. This game is nearly a decade old at this point (I feel old). Maybe someone should try again, and see what comes of it.
It sucks that we'll likely never get another Riders game because of it. Which sucks because I love the Babylon Rogues and would love to play as them again. The Kinect is why it failed I agree, it had so much potential but the decision to make it motion controlled based was it's death sentence, I feel like even waiting until the Kinect got "better" wouldn't have made a difference. Maybe we'll be blessed with another game down the line, or hell for me just any game where the Babylon Rogues are the main characters again and playable (hell like a stand-alone game)
@@TailsPrower07 I completely agree, I miss the riders series so much and I did enjoy this game a lot, but yeah like many people have said the kinect just bugged out a lot during my play sessions and it was very irritating :(
I really wish this was playable with a controller, I was born with a stupid disability and my stability when standing is terrible so I walk with a Walker. I’ll take a controller to play please.
@@games_on_phone89 You kids shouldn't be hating on stuff if you're trash at it lol. Get good for once lol. If I can play it properly then you kids can as well lol.
@@tronnorth726 so you're just like that other guy huh look, when you and bowens stop being basement dwelling cry-babies that throw a hissy fit over your favorite excuse of a game with shitty controls being called shitty, and when you 2 stop calling anyone who RIGHTFULLY criticizes this game "kids that can't stand hard games", then maybe we'll discuss, until then don't reply, please end. of. discussion

WOW LOL SONIC AND JET FIGHTING FOR THEIR LIVES FOR FIRST PLACE
lore accurate
Wish the first game could of had graphics like this.
Let's be thankful that the first game dosen't have god awful controls :)
It does just at a lower rendering
Well.... Check Sonic Riders X
@@ralmac9923 Awful? They work perfectly fine for me and I 100% it with Achievements of 50 of 50 and played online and in 2021. Your a Bad controller
@@LilUltraKataru Not really its still looks worse on a emulator compare to free riders
This track still holds as my favorite free rider's track.
Same
yeah for real they could have made it optional to use a controller
yeah that would have made it more playable for sure
Honestly, if that just would have done that very thing this game would have probably still been overshadowed by colors and 4 at the time but it would have still been remembered fondly. But no let's be stupid and not program controller options and just kill the riders series on a disrespectful note. If the cutscenes didn't do it already.
@@TheBLUEM64 I’m also genuinely surprised no one has made a controller mod for this game. It would probably be really fun.
I guess I’m the only good one here then and played online
@@TheBLUEM64no one cared about the cutscene
Jets voice seems to crack alot
when jet gets hit or boost him self and when he says yes his voice cracks.
Sonic is really behind on Jet 3:03
Loove the music on this stage!!
Take Your Rival Down JET!

Fr you just need to get adjusted
God the nostalga, this was my first ever game I ever played with my Xbox 360
I'm more amazed that someone was actually able to play a Kinect game like THIS, with skill! You almost make it seem like a good game...Almost.
palindinX it's a good game you kids are just too lazy to master it
Bowens92 nooooo
It’s not that we’re too lazy
The motion controls are absolutely terrible and make it a hell of a challenge to control
I’ll admit that Free Riders is a good game, but it suffers from a poor control scheme much like Star Fox Zero

@@CrasherX2000 lol you kids are lazy to master motion controls this game really brought out the laziness in people lol
lmfao at Jet pushing Sonic at the very beginning. XD
For some reason this song in the game reminds me of the second half of the blaze boss battle in sonic rush
Rooftop run Good future
Or any metropolitian level
Hey hey hey!!
great race
the best race of the game
Did you TAS this?
The red icon usually means there’s nobody moving in front of the Kinect
What exactly did you do?
You don't know much about sonc free riders lol
My icon has many colors
Red blue cyan purple yellow orange
Lol you kids are so lazy to master this game
@muffin-sponge Lol you kids are lazy AF lol.
Too lazy to master thisnl game and prefer game that doesn't require physical movement lol
@@bowens9211 horrible take
@Sonic Z it was fine for me.
The different colours represent different users.
Eww, Not a fan of Jet's "new" Voice actor. I say that in quotes because it's been like 10 years now.
Yeah, he sounds nothing like the original voice.
@munsonx4 actually it is,it gets pretty exhausting after awhile
0:30 Wow😱😃😄 So cool!
sonic must have been a real pain there
masspower 11 never thought in my life I’d ever see someone say that
The music reminds me of Xenoblade chronicles x
wouldnt click that if I was you
part of this song is actually in Xenoblade Chronicles X!
Question If I ever host a tournament for this game will you come out to it?
I think this game was great.I have it.The Kinect may have been kinda weird but somehow if you calibrated this correctly it played decently.Regardless though I do think playing any of the riders games is better with controller and tbh using the Kinect for the only riders game with such nice graphics is very off putting.If they ever decide to bring riders back I honestly think it’d be amazing
why was jet's voice changed
Daniel Parker because Jason Griffith, the voice of Sonic, Shadow, and Jet, stopped doing voice acting for those characters after Sonic and SEGA All-Stars Racing was released. Jet is now voiced by Michael Yurchak.
GJYYNGII he actually got let go.
Or fired

can I use a few snippets from your video on my channel
Sonic was not leaving him alone lol
0:28 : AMAZING SUPER COOL JUMP !
Wtf sonic's acting in 0:00

ali jibril
tased or tested?
You're wrong
Teenage Apple it’s TAS
The red character shows up when I play some times. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Jet has a weird voice in this game
Anubis The jackal different voice actor in this one
@@GirthantheWolfBadgerYeen took me really long to learn that
@silvertheknight
Jet: Yeah, just like your 2006 game.
@trickster20692
oh, its an XBOX 360, the kinect to be more specific =)
This match was so canon.
I'm serious without a kinect the only thing you can do is watch a pop up say you don't have a kinect connected.
Man i think the idea was good but if they just made it for the xbox360 in general with xboxlive play this game would be wayyyyyyy better
You can play on xbox live, actually. No one seems to play it but if anyone would like a challenge pm me so we can exchange gamertags
Wait...If they're riding air boards, how do the get boost from hitting boost pads...ON THE GROUND?!
the game isnt bad its just cuz its on the connect
I’m super great at this game!
WHERE CAN I BUY THIS??? And is this for wii?
It's now on Xbox Live
Don’t
Please don’t...
I recently got this game, I haven't played it yet.
@deron991 Morshu? When did you become a SEGA speculator?
I don't care what other people think but this game has been my favorite and I think its really good
Agreed
@@Sydney_Angelyt i am considering this game, but the bad controls and how much cobi struggled at the game does throw me off alot, i dont really want to hurt my back turning the board and actually jump in real life to jump in the game, it sounds like a hassle to play, is it worth it?
@@cakelayer it all depends if you have a proper setup.
If it’s at a good height and you have plenty of space, you should be fine
5:36 Lets Yes!!
How do you play with a controller?
I don't mind gettin' onto the Kinect motions, just wondering how controller's possible?
You can’t
It’s Kinect only
How do you just kick out X tricks like that? The best I can do is S+
iirc to get an X trick normally you *have* to charge the jump before you hit the ramp and spin, but the purple gear OP's using sends your trick up a level, turning some of what should be S+ tricks into X tricks

Cool story bro from 5 months ago
its for xbox 360 kinect and i found mine at game stop for $18
Jet the hawk is my favourite character in sonic free riders
Change my mind😎
is this TAS?
its good that you and sonic jet are firends
what game system is this
@mrlk13141 That's on the standard version.
fuck it up fuck it up fuck it up fuck it up
Amazing
isnt there a train somewhere
That is in the standard version
Wish they didn't murder the riders series like this... smh.
we can see a screenshot of you playing at 5:52
can you play this game with just the controller too?
Caleb S no
We need a new Riders for real
Bruh this is legit Spagonia
I really wish this was playable with a controller, I was born with a stupid disability and my stability when standing is terrible so I walk with a Walker. I’ll take a controller to play please.
who's here in 2020!?
...Can someone give me a better answer than that?
as the music?
This game and zero gravity watered down the tricks. The first one let you spam the joystick to make lots of flips.
i agree
Is it just me, or is Jet's voice either a little more or little less annoying?
It funny when storm was going to go on Jet but he didont
Lmao the beginning
@CartoonNetwork4All um i dont think thats physically possable
Holy fuck, Shadow, you need to work out more. You got creamed by Cream for fuck's sake.
супер
There is one way. HACK!!!!
0:42. Jet: What?!
Hey hey hey! Hey hey huhhhh huhhhh hey

...no shit... just get of the vids of you don't like the game...its that simple
This could have been a decent game... if it included the option to play using a controller instead of that God-awful Kinect.
This game is cool but it wouldve been better if it was controller optional. And definitely shoulve been multiplatform.
And you don't even know about your grammar >8( !!!
The game sucked ass, but the soundtrack is kickass.
they ruined the whole game, other 2 were better
it is better then sonic riders and funner.
