Like Nintendo has done with Super Mario, Sonic the Hedgehog has been pimped out in more games across a large spectrum of genres than any other video game mascot. Sonic’s been on adventures, he’s kissed human girls, he’s rode hover boards, driven go-karts and even duked it out against Super Mario in his own Olympic sports games. There’s practically nothing the hedgehog hasn’t done – almost.
This leaked video shows some long lost footage of a Sonic skateboarding game for the Xbox that was in the works but canceled. Although Gameinformer thought the game looked terrible, many Sonic loyalists are sounding off about the game with positive feedback. Some even joke that this unfinished demo of the game still looks better than Tony Hawk: Ride.
I don’t know what to say. This game actually looks quite a lot more playable than Sonic Free Riders on Kinect – a game so awful most people haven’t even played or tried it (consider yourself lucky).
