6) Gravity dive - used to plummet forwards and bizarrely crashing into large objects speeds you up. 5) Gravity turns - performed using a trigger button to slow down time and dart around a hairpin corner. 4) Grinding - one of those said upgrades used to grind, Tony Hawk style, into the lead. 3) Gear changes - these are power-up/upgrades you must manually enable during the race by collecting a certain amount of stars. 2) Trick jumps - whenever you come to a jump, you need to hit the button as late as possible to perform an in-air trick and earn yourself some "gravity points". Let me break it down and give you the highlights (yes, there's more than this).ġ) Starting the race - this is done by actually walking backwards, then forwards so that you cross the line just as the countdown hits zero. Having not played the original, I can't tell you how much I needed the tutorial in this game to understand what the knuckles is going on. After a few desasterous attempts at winning a race, I caved and went to seek guidance from the tutorial gods. We'd usually at this point jump straight in to some racing and skip the help section, however there's one big problem with SRZG, the controls are rather complicated. Actually, that's a total lie, the Wiimote controls are crap and the Gamecube ones are good, simple as that. You can either play SRZG with the Wiimote (ala Excite Truck) or a Gamecube controller, because we're old fashioned we elected to use the Gamecube controller, to give a much more familiar racing feel. The story is told with some rather nice, but pre-rendered, cut scenes that always ends up with you needing to race for some reason or another, winning that race will then progress the story.
Story mode is also split in half, first you play through as the Heroes, which tells the story of Sonic and his gang, then as the Babylonians where you learn what the other group was upto during the same time period.
Whilst characters do vary slightly, its not really a major feature of the game, sticking with Sonic keeps things simple. The usual sidekicks are here, with a grand total of 18 playable characters. The game is shared between two groups of characters, those on Sonic's team, the Heroes and those part of the Babylon Rogues captained by Jet the Hawk.
