Zero Gravity
Weightlessness is the complete or near-complete absence of the sensation of weight. It is also termed zero gravity, zero G-force, or zero-G. Weight is a measurement of the force on an object at rest in a relatively strong gravitational field (such as on the surface of the Earth). These weight-sensations originate from contact with supporting floors, seats, beds, scales, and the like. A sensation of weight is also produced, even when the gravitational field is zero, when contact forces act upon and overcome a body's inertia by mechanical, non-gravitational forces- such as in a centrifuge, a rotating space station, or within an accelerating vehicle. When the gravitational field is non-uniform, a body in free fall experiences tidal effects and is not stress-free. Near a black hole, such tidal effects can be very strong. In the case of the Earth, the effects are minor, especially on objects of relatively small dimensions (such as the human body or a spacecraft) and the overall ...

is a motion controlled racing video game developed by Sonic Team and published by Sega exclusively for the Xbox 360.

''Sonic Free Riders'' is the seventh racing game in the ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' series, and the third entry in the ''Sonic Riders'' trilogy. It is a direct sequel to '' Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity''.

The game received generally unfavorable reviews from critics; though praise was given for the game's graphics, music, multiplayer, story, and amount of content, heavy criticism was given for the game's motion controls, which many found unresponsive and inaccurate. It is also the first game in the series to be released following a major recasting of the series' voice actors in 2010, e ...
