Sonic Free Riders is a 2010 racing video game developed by Sonic Team and published by Sega for the Xbox 360. The game requires the use of Microsoft's Kinect peripheral for its motion controls and served as one of its launch titles in November 2010. Sonic Free Riders is the seventh racing game in the Sonic the Hedgehog series, and the third entry in the Sonic Riders trilogy, following Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity. The game's story centers on a World Grand Prix hosted by a disguised Doctor Eggman, who secretly plans to gather data from the competitors to program into his robots.
Free Riders is notable as the first work in the franchise to feature Roger Craig Smith as the English voice of Sonic; to date, he still voices the character in all Sonic the Hedgehog video games and some other media. The game received generally unfavorable reviews from critics, mainly due to the game's motion controls, which were often described as unresponsive and inaccurate. However, some praised its presentation, multiplayer capability, and amount of content.
