Sonic Free Riders
System(s): Kinect on Xbox 360
Publisher: Sega
Developer: Sonic Team
Genre: Racing
ESRB PEGI USK 6 OFLC

Sonic Free Riders is an upcoming Sonic game from the Sonic Riders franchise that will be released exclusively for the Xbox 360 in the Holiday of 2010. It will use the Xbox 360's Kinect camera to track your movement, obviously like an air-boarder. Sega America and Sega Europe described it as "an extreme fast-paced boarding game" designed specifically for Kinect's full-body controls. Race courses will feature pick-ups and usable items on the course; players can use them and launch them at one another by "throwing, shaking or swinging" with their arms.

Although both voice language tracks are included in the game disc, there is not a proper option to switch them in any regional version, and the game sets both the text and voice language by default according to the console settings language, with the Japanese voices defaulted to Japanese console language and the English voices to the rest of languages. Therefore, the only way to have the Japanese voices is by changing the Xbox Dashboard language to Japanese in order to set the game entirely in Japanese.
