Contents SummaryEggman has learned about the 6 mythical Babylon Gardens and plans on getting his hands on them but he needs a key to discover their location. A new team of Babylonians has appeared and teams up with Sonic and the Babylon Rogues in order to stop Eggman from collecting the 6 Babylons. The game features anime cutscenes.GameplayThe game introduces a new feature where the player can create his/her own extreme gear by collecting gear parts throughout the stage, earning them in the Story Mode, Battle Mode etc.
The player can also customize his/her extreme gear by adding color, symbols etc. The player races with much higher speed than in previous installments, similar to the F Zero series.During a race, there are a total of 12 racers on the track, similar to Sonic Free Riders. As in Sonic Riders, the player can gain rings to level up, upgrading their gear and attacks. By upgrading one's gear, the player will be able to perform higher tricks, boost faster, accelerating faster etc. Tricks are divided into the following categories, similarly to the previous installments:. XX - A special rank the player can obtain by combining Freefall with his tricks.
Very hard to pull off. X - The highest rank and toughest to pull off. SS - The second highest ranking, relatively hard to pull off. S - The third highest rank.
Relatively easy to pull off by performing quick backflips, turns etc. A - Similar to the S ranking. B - This ranking is usually obtained when doing a single trick. C - The lowest ranking. It can be obtained when the player either fails to pull off a trick or does absolutely nothing.Playstation 3In the Playstation 3 version of the game, the gameplay is very similar to Sonic Riders, as the player can control the tricks of the character. Using the analog sticks the player controls the direction of the character.
When boosting, the character will attack any other racer who is close, performing an attack depending on which level the player is. The level is upgraded by collecting rings during the course, similar to the first Sonic Riders. The player must also gain air for his/her extreme gear by performing tricks or going through type passageways. A new feature is introduced in the game called Trick Dive. When the player is approaching a ramp the player can hold the R1 or L1 button. The character will duck and then perform a different trick which is much slower but easier to control.
The point of this is to stay as long as possible in the air. When the player lands, his/her air gauge will gain a very big amount of air. That way, the player can also enter shortcuts such as pipes, tunnels and different types of rails. The player can also perform a Freefall by holding both the R1 and L1 buttons while on air. This allows the character to land faster without getting any air.
Freefall is mainly used when jumping from a bigger ramp.Xbox 360In the Xbox 360 version of the game, gameplay is identical to the PlayStation 3 version.The player can control the character with the left analog stick including the tricks and direction.
