And to me, that's what Sonic Free Riders is - a fun, accessible racing game for kids. While there is strategic decisions to make, and tactics to deploy, I don't see it rivalling Mario Kart as the prestige title in the genre. It's one of the more entertaining Kinect titles I've tried, but it doesn't go far towards justifying the price tag on the Kinect camera. Hopefully the game will come with a generous supply of tracks and game modes, as I think variation is key if this game isn't going to go the way of its predecessors when it comes to critical response."

Online video game retailer Newegg have launched a new Kinect Games Spring sale offering games from a low $14.99.
