Hellooo! What About Us!!

Believe it or not I don't really own a Game Cube. The only way I was able to rate this game is because I've played most of the titles on the disk in the past so I remember them. I own a PlayStation 2 and a copy of Sonic Mega Collection Plus. It's a cool collection of Sonic's best moments but Sonic CD, quite possibly his best moment of all, was conspicuously absent. Now finally they make a collection disk with Sonic CD and It's only for Game Cube!! Pardon my french but WHAT THE HELL?!!! I've never been so Ps'd at these guys before. News flash, GC owners are not the only ones that want Sonic CD you know. What about the rest of us?! What about PS2 and Xbox?!! They're holding out on us aren't they? I thought they were trying to be fair and release these titles to a wider audience. Well PS2 and Xbox are a wider audience. So let's go, make with the equal oppertunity already. In the words of Sonic himself, "I'm waitiiing!". (Update 10/08/06) I would like to take back what I said above. I just purchased a used Game Cube today for a pretty reasonable price and got Sonic Gems to start out with, so now I've had a proper chance to play it. That being I would change my rating to at least a three and a half...that is if I could, but apparently I'm not allowed. Anyway I already love Sonic CD which is even better now with the complete, uncut and faster moving animation at the beginning and better picture and sound quality. The only thing I have against it is it's unusually long load time. The original version on Sega CD loaded somewhat faster. Sonic The Fighters is pretty good too but Sonic R was a complete waist of time because it's probably one of the worst Sonic games ever (if there is such a thing). The Game Gear titles on the other hand are a nice touch and I have finally had a chance to play Tails' Adventures (it's Japan only predesessor Tails Sky Patrol isn't as good). I would also like to appologize for the bad language that was used above. Game Cube is aimed at a younger audience so there are probably alot of moms out there who are pretty angry at me right now. All together Sonic Gems is pretty good and worth the new low price to get your mitts on Sonic CD. Talk about a "blast from the past". Heh heh, get it?

Graphics boost it up !

A popular game. I purchased this for my 6 year old nephew and he loves it. The 9 year old plays with it as well. Truth be told - my husband also sits there and plays the game. Very comparable to a game for the full systems.

Poor....

This game collection of Sonic is not that fun. It's full of old games with very poor graphics and sound. I bought this game for my kids and they don't enjoy it very much (they almost never play with it). If you really love Sonic, then there are other games better than this. Don't lose money and time with this game.

Where the F*** is Knuckles Chaotix?

I liked Sonic Gems Collection. It features great games that are considered rare or hard to find like Sonic CD (best game on this disk.), Sonic The Fighters, and Sonic R. The Unlockable games (Vectroman 1+2) and unlockable artwork help give the game a decent amount of replay value.

Some of the games are really bad (I'm looking at you, Sonic R!) and controll and graphics could have been a little better polished, yet that can't be said for all of the games. I would also like to say that the collision detection could have been a little more precise in Sonic the Fighters.

But to me, the games biggest flaw is that it didn't include the Sega 32X game Knuckles Chaotix. For those of you not aware of waht this game is, it's a game simialar to Sonic 1- Sonic and Knuckles that features Knuckles and his friends, the Chaotix (Also of Sonic Heroes fame) as playable charecters. Although I'm a major Sonic fan, this is the only Sonic game I've never played and would've liked to try it. This is definantly a rare game and it is a surprise it wasn't on this disk.

Overall, if your a gamer or a Sonic fan, your really going to like this game. Everyone else could get some fun out of it too. But, as a little side not to Sega, if you ever re-release this game, please include Knuckles Chaotix.

My Score: 7.5/10

Its fun, but nothing we haven't seen before

The second complilation of Sonic games, the other being the Mega Collection, this one offers the 3 classics that the other missed: Sonic CD, Sonic R and Sonic the Fighters. Let me say this now: Sonic R and Sonic the Fighters are crap. I've beaten R in less than an hour, with all hidden characters and Chaos Emeralds, each track taking me no more or less than two attempts: One for the hidden character, one for the Emeralds.

The Game Gear games can be unlocked in Sonic Adventure: DX, so if you're getting this for those, it's much more fun to get them in Sonic Adventure, which is still a fun game, though a bit dated (but if you're getting this collection, you shouldn't be complaining about 'dated'). Sonic CD is definitelly a fun romp. I still haven't beaten it, I'm sorry to admit. The other games you unlock are fun as well... But you have to unlock them. Sorry, I can't recommend this game PURELY for Sonic CD, which is what rides the 'Fun' rating of this game. Hardcore Sonic fans ONLY need apply. And even *I* have seen the light and have tried other ways of feeling nostalgic for the old days.

Ok But Not Great

The only reason to buy this is because of sonic cd. The other games are really just horse [...] (and thats a complament) The only other reason to buy this is for the unlocables. If you have a windows 98 computer you can buy sonic cd for it, you might wonder why I have not sugested a sega cd they cost about $100 and im not making that up. If you have a sega cd and don't have this game your messed up. Now for the other games Sonic R realy is not that great its not at all a fun racing game and it gets boring fast. Sonic Fighters is also not that great its an arcade game so it takes about 5 min to beat . The game gear games stink there very boring and will not keep your intrest long. Overal if there is no other way to get Sonic Cd for you buy it but cheap!

The reason i got this game was for Sonic CD. Without a doubt my favorite sonic game excluding the perfection that is Sonic and Knuckles 3. I used to play this game back on the PC when i used to have it. unfortunately i lost it and was overjoyed to hear it was remade for the gamecube. It plays flawlessly on my Wii and in 480p if you have component cables.

The gems collection contains Sonic R, A sonic fighting game (which is extremely fun and addicting, and surprisingly deep)and a couple others.

I would recommend this collection to any fans of the blue blur we all know and love. Relive the glory days of sonic in 2D.

old school'n fun

This is not as good as mega collection but still good.Sonic cd is good but not as good as sonic 1&2.Cause it is way to easy.I made it to the last level without even trying.Anyway the best game on the disc is sonic the fighters.
