Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity is a hoverboard racing video game developed by Sonic Team and published by Sega for the PlayStation 2 and Wii. It is the fifth racing game in the Sonic the Hedgehog series, and the second entry the Sonic Riders trilogy. A port for the Xbox 360 was cancelled during development, while a sequel, Sonic Free Riders, was released exclusively for that system in 2010. Gameplay in Zero Gravity is largely similar to its predecessor, with characters racing on different types of hovercraft called "Extreme Gear". In addition to the mechanics from the previous game, Zero Gravity adds a new gameplay system based around gravity that replaces the predecessor's "fuel" system. During the race, performing tricks and other actions will increase a character's Gravity Points, or GP. If players have accrued enough GP by the time they enter certain areas of the track, they will enter a Zero-Gravity Zone, where they can perform one of two maneuvers. A Gravity Dive will create a small black hole that points gravity forward down the track, giving the player a powerful free-fall boost that is further augmented by striking objects in the vicinity that the hole displaces, such as cars or signs. Alternatively, Gravity Control will alter the gravity of the course, allowing players to reach otherwise-inaccessible areas and shortcuts. Players can also use Gravity Drift to more easily maneuver around sharp corners.

Tinha cinco anos.
Aqui foi o começo do fim. Um passo na direção de uma imortalidade sem qualquer valor. Que Deus tenha misericórdia de nós.
Control is also a little unresponsive, I often found myself bumping off the walls when trying to make basic turns. It lacks the skill ceiling of the original, and while this makes it much easier to win races, it's less satisfying to play. Not to say it's not fun, it is, especially with friends.
The story mode attached is a fun time, The Babylon Rouges are once again fun characters, and the CGI cutscenes are really enjoyable to watch. The logic as to why your racing is pretty dumb, as there isn't actually a racing competition this time, but it still works.
The musics great, I love the remix of "Catch me if you Can" and the main theme "Ungravitfy" is a true great.
I do really enjoy this game, I think it's a step down, but still a really solid game. The final boss is absolutely awful, like utter crap. But Zero Gravity still manages to earn its spot in the Riders line-up
