I guess one reason I’m disappointed in Sonic Riders is that I was expecting something different. I was hoping for a party game with a little more attitude than the Mario Mart games – a game easy enough to be enjoyed by just about anyone while also offering a huge fun factor. Instead this game is a mediocre racer for a single person with a multiplayer mode that is too difficult for the very casual player. That means in my book it earns an equally mediocre "C" score.
Volume One of this series of books does a grand job of introducing gaming to the masses, but offers a lot of familar information for gamers already in the know.
The Vampire Slayer fans, suffering from withdrawal since the show's cancellation, will eat up the upcoming Buffy game, Buffy: The Vampire Slayer: Chaos Bleeds.
