Sega says its Sonic Free Riders game will be the company’s first game developed to take advantage of the Kinect for full-motion body control for Xbox 360.

It will allow gamers to twist and turn their way through a range of courses in an action-packed Sonic experience, claims Sega.

Kinect was recently announced at E3 and will allow family and friends to control their fully customisable hover board or bike by twisting, turning and jumping in a race to be the first to cross the finish line.

Choosing from one of their favourite Sonic characters, or their own Avatar, a gamer can reach out and grab a variety of pickups along the course. By throwing, shaking, or swinging their arms to launch their weapon, they can gain the competitive edge over their rivals in high octane single or multiplayer races.

Sonic Riders™ will be available to play with Kinect for Xbox 360 for late 2010.
