Sonic Free Riders Announced

Sega have just announced that Sonic Free Riders will be a launch game for Kinect on the Xbox 360. Some of us may have noticed a sneaky Sonic logo showing up in the Kinetic launch title list in Microsoft's E3 conference earlier but Sega have now revealed the first details. As the title gives away, the game will play similar to the Sonic Riders games that have shown up on other consoles.

According to Sega, Sonic Free Riders will involve "twisting, turning, and jumping in an exhilarating race to be first to cross the finish line.". It will also, "take full advantage of Kinect". This Kinect title will allow players to play as various Sonic characters but the option to play as Avatars will also be available if you wish to do so.
