Sonic Rivals is another arcade game with a characteristic blue hedgehog named Sonic in the lead role. The main element of the game (the action takes place on only two planes, but the environment is completely three-dimensional) is the rivalry between the characters from the world of the spiky hero.

Sonic Rivals is a head-to-head competition between Sonic and his top rivals, where the gloves are off and winner takes all!

Built from the ground-up, the engine allows gamers to rip through tracks in some high-spirited single player and wireless multiplayer action against friends as Sonic returns in a whole new racing-platformer, featuring classic 2D gameplay in 3D environments for gamers on the go.

What starts as a friendly competition between Sonic and Knuckles quickly intensifies as Shadow and other rivals jump into the action. Sonic Rivals allows gamers to utilise boost moves and power-ups to trip, shove and vault over each other while hurtling towards the finish line at breakneck speeds. Players will negotiate wildly twisting 3D tracks while avoiding the insidious Dr Eggman and his myriad of hazardous traps and contraptions.

In Sonic Rivals, gamers can play as one of four different characters from the Sonic Universe, each with separate storylines. In addition, the extensive rewards system, which is based on collecting trading cards, allows players to customise their favourite characters. Connect via wireless to race against a friend and put trading cards on the line for even more multiplayer challenges.
