*FamilyFriendlyVideoGames.com Favorite* - This was one of our favorite family-friendly video games we saw at the E3 video game trade show in Los Angeles in June. Here's what we had to say about it then:
Sonic Freeriders is one of Sega’s first games for Microsoft’s Kinect camera system, and the game looks to star Sonic and a few of his friends.
Sonic Freeriders puts you in control of the Sonic characters as they ride boards down the mountain. You’ll need to use your whole body in different motions which resemble surfing, skating and sometimes even swimming.
The game will have a single player mode as well as multiplayer mode with two player split screen, which means both players can play at the same time.
With its full body controls and use of two-player split screen multiplayer, we’re definitely looking forward to Sonic Freeriders when it comes out around the time of the launch for Kinect this holiday season.
