I thought i would like Sonic games and christmas last year i did. But the more i played this game the more boring it got. I couldnt figure out out how to save my game file. When i did save, i still had to start all over again! The other problem i had, which might just might be me, is after a while of playing it when Sonic would go really fast, I got headaches. So i would stop playing. Just thinking about it gives me a headache. Maybe someday ill try it again and maybe it will be fun. Who knows. After playing it my views on Sonic has changed. I will probably never play this game again. If you want a good platformer Mario's 2-D games are AWESOME and Super MArio 64 DS. I have yet to try Mega Man. It kinda looks likes Metroid (Not those Prime games which, i think, is a FPS game) but more kid friendly. Metroid Zero Mission and Super Mario World are much better buys then this boring game. You ever rarely even control SOnic. This makes a better rental.

I used to like sonic, but now I like 3D games better, and this title is a bit too repetitive. 2D is not the same as well I guess. It is a classic though, but not the best game.

More Hedgehog Mania

It always surprises me how classic video games can be even better than what has to be hot today, with all the overexposed graphics and gala. Nevertheless, during Sega's payoff era for the Genesis, it really did break so much ground, it was the highlight of their video game systems. Unfortunately, Sega was never able to capatalize after the Genesis. That is unfortunate that Sega now only makes video games for other systems. As for their mascot, Sonic The Hedgehog, he still lives on with so many systems now highlighting the blue speed demon is just amazing. Since 1991, Sonic The Hedgehog has become as popular as other legendary mascots including Mario, and Zelda. But the games Sonic was featured in, even brought more challenge than anywhere else.

The Sonic Mega Collection Plus, is a collection of over a dozen video games, unlockable and classic from the Genesis era, and the Sega handheld Game Gear era. The collection includes so many great classics including Sonic 1, 2, and 3, as well as other successors like Sonic 3D Blast. The collection goes further by including Sonic's Game Gear games like Sonic Chaos, Sonic Blast, and the mad dash racing game, Sonic Drift 2. The games have been remastered beautifully, but can be very difficult during some gamers, especially for anybody who hasn't expereinced the Genesis era. The game collection does fair very well, especially after the triumph, of the original Sonic Mega Collection for the Nintendo's Gamecube.

Sonic Mega Collection Plus is a great video game compilation for the Playstation 2. If you have the Gamecube, and bought the Sonic Mega Collection for the Gamecube, than it really isn't worth the money, unless you consider the Game Gear games here. The compilation here is great, and really good for Playstation 2 buyers. I honestly suggest this one.

this game seem's to have every sonic game with the exception of my favorite one.....sonic cd(sega cd). that game has the best plot. you actually have to go back through time on the first two zones of each level and destroy dr. robotnicks machines. you have past present and future. you have to make sonic run really fast past the post(past,present,future)until he ends up in that time zone. of course you want to get to the past and destroy the machines because otherwise when you get to the third zone of the level even if you defeat dr. robotnick the future looks crappy because of the machines he set up. sonic cd had the coolest concept out of all the sonic games but was omitted which keeps this from getting five stars from me. with all that being said if you are a sonic fan this is still a good buy.although, i think including the game gear titles was a waste of time since they are just second rate versions of the genesis games.

Sonic still rules

Anyone old enough to remember SEGA's glory days with their 16-bit Genesis system will no doubt remember the old Sonic the Hedgehog games. Sonic Mega Collection Plus features all of the SEGA mascot's appearances on the classic console, as well as six titles from SEGA's portable Game Gear system. Genesis titles include Sonic 1, 2, and 3; as well as Sonic & Knuckles, Sonic Spinball, Sonic 3-D Blast, and the puzzler Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine. The Game Gear titles include Sonic 1, Sonic Labyrinth, Sonic Drift, Sonic Chaos, Sonic Blast, and Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine; and there are unlockable games including the Knuckles add-on stages as well as Comix Zone, Ristar, Flicky, and the Ooze. The games are wonderfully emulated and the Genesis games still look crisp and respond well, but not all the games here are great. Sonic 3-D Blast (one of the last Genesis games) is abysmal, and most of the Game Gear titles, specifically Sonic Labyrinth, Sonic Drift, and Sonic Blast, are pretty shoddy. Despite that, there's plenty here for longtime Sonic fans to love, including the big plus of having the underrated classic Comix Zone as an unlockable, and a horde of extras as well. However, there are some glaring omissions here, such as the Game Gear title Sonic Triple Trouble, the Sega CD title Sonic CD, as well as the Saturn racing title Sonic R and Sonic the Fighters, and the 32X title Knuckles Chaotix. Despite all that, Sonic Mega Collection Plus is a must own for Sonic fans or for fans of retro gaming, and for the price of what you get here, this is a deal that can't be beat.

A classic that will collect dust fast and you know it

First off Sonic is iconic and equal to Mario in every regard except he doesn't have a console to call home.

Now lets be realistic, this pre-Dreamcast Sonic collection is not going to have you glued to the screen for long. I'm not saying these games blow, they don't they are awesome. I'm saying do you know why your parents listen to the oldies? It's because the music reminds them of when they were younger, and most of the gamers who remember these games are my age so I know you guys grew up playing Sonic. So while just the thought of playing these games sounds enticing it will wear off. Trust me, when I popped this baby in my PS2 I instantly began strolling down memory lane. I remember coming home from school and doing my homework as quickly as possible just so I could do a spin dash. Now 7 months later I have a total of about 7 hours of game play on this joker. All I can ask myself is "how come I didn't put that $20 in my gas tank?"

Do yourself a favor and rent this one.

Great compilation, but some glaring omissions

Ahh, Sonic. What can I say that hasn't already been said? If you lived through the 90s then you know the little cobalt hedgehog and the amount of fun his games were. Sonic 1 was a revolution; Sonic 2 increased the gameplay exponentially; Sonic 3 was great but was kind of a mystery. There were obvious parts of the levels that Sonic couldn't get through. Why? We finally learned the reasons when Sonic & Knuckles came out with its backwards-compatability. Luckily Sonic 3 & Knuckles and Sonic 2 & Knuckles are accessible as unlockable games in this PS2 version. It's also great to play Spinball again, as well as the great old Game Gear titles. Notice I didn't say anything about the abomination that was 3D Blast.

But there are some missing games here that would have made this the perfect compilation. I'm speaking specifically about Sonic CD, the old Sega CD game that included time travel and an absolutely rocking soundtrack. This old game had its flaws (terrible loading times between worlds, for one), but it really is an integral part of Sonic's history in the 90s. Another missing game is Knuckles Chaotix. This game for the 32X was not that great (the controls were horrible), but again, to complete the history of Sonic it should have been included.

It would have been really fun, too, if they had somehow included the Sonic 2 Beta version! How many of you out there remember the lost Hidden Palace Zone?

If you have a Game Gear or Genesis, maybe not

I have a Game Gear with 16 games. Some of which are Sonic games. I have titles like Sonic 1(gettin there), Sonic 2(beat the Crystal Egg Zone part), and Sonic Chaos(how easy!). And Genesis including Sonic 1(wasn't much of a final battle) and Dr R's Mean Bean Machine for it. I have Sonic 3d Blast for my PC(fairly easy). That makes it kinda questionable.

Good, Yes complete No!

A great collection of games for you to enjoy. I bought yesterday and simply love it. There are some games missing and the hidden games should have been Sonic R, Sonic Drift 1 and Sonic Advance 1 & 2.

I'm Impressed

Since the age of 5 or 6, I've been playing Sonic The Hedgehog and have never stopped. I think that this is a good remaster of the classic video games that were once on Sega Genesis, Game Gear, Sega Saturn, and Sega CD. There are most of the games that Sonic has been in since 1991 here on this CD.

Now the reason why I give this 4 stars is the fact that you have some games like Flicky and Sonic the Hedgehog 3 + Knuckles that has to be unlocked. And the way to unlock them, you have to play some of them games up to 50 times. (Or you can just enter and exit the games 50 times to save some time). Another reasion why I gave this 4 stars is the Game Gear Sonic Games that were left off. I believed that they should have put Sonic The Hedgehog 2 from Game Gear instead of Dr. Robotnik's Machine game, because its just about the same as the one from the one on Sega Genesis. I was kind of dissapointed with that not being on here.

There is an upside to this. If you play the games long enough, they start giving you codes and cheats. Remember that Tips & Tricks book that you once bought at the grocery store? Now you don't need that no more, because they tell you the cheats such as how to get Super Sonic, and the Debug Code and what to do.

This is great if you want to relive the early days of Video Games if you were born in the 80's. I saw the one that came out on Game Cube and I would have not been too happy, because not all of the games could have fit onto the CD, forcing some of them to be left out. But there is another Sonic game like this for Game Cube for the games that were left out and the games that should have been on the first one (which is only available for Game Cube and not X Box and PS2).

Go back to your childhood days and get this game here. You won't be dissapointed!
