Before I start my review this is what happened to me today: We got and left at 9 in the morning to get this, we checked Target, Wal-Mart, Best Buy and we called Gamestop, so, on the last stop, me and my little brother wanted to go into EBGames, we did. I was depressed I didn't find it, so I thought checking out some games would make me happier. My mother asked if they have it, they did...

Okay, on with the review! This is for the 3 main games, the extra's and the collection rating:

Sonic the Fighters:

PRO'S: THEY UPDATED THE GRAPHICS: It looks much smoother now! MANY CHARACTERS AND COMBOS: From the basic 3 punch to a pulling of the tounge, this game has plenty of humor! 2 NEW-COMER CHARACTERS: Two new characters, Bean the Dynamite and Bark the Polarbear! VERY CHALLENGING: This game can give you a easy time at the begining, but when you get to Bark the Polarbear through Metal Sonic, yout probobly gonna have a rough time... 2 PLAYER ACTION: Have a friend of a family member nearby? Give them a smackdown they won't forget! MULTIPLE STAGES: The stages go from a beautiful ocean on a boat to a showdown in space! Plenty of varitey!

CON'S

CAN GET BORING: If you play this one to long by yourself, your probobly going to feel bored and annoined, so to fix this, make some friends and if you don't have a brother or sister, grab your parents, they might want to play to! REPETTAIVE MUSIC TO THE MAX: Boy, if you are one if the people who HATE repettive music, you may want to turn the sound down, pop in your "Sonic Adventure 2" Soundtrack. Your ears will feel better in no time! ANNOYING CPU: When you are blcoking, they grab you, when they are blocking, you break the shield and they attack you, see the pattern? It does this to you ALL THE TIME! (Espicially when you are fighting Bark the Polarbear...)

OVERALL RATING: 9.2

This is my fave game on the collection, this is the REAL Gem of the CD (Not that the rest of it isn't)

Sonic CD

PRO'S: TIME TRAVEL INTO THE PAST OR FUTURE: Another one of these time traveling games? Man, amazingly, this is one of the good ones! Go to the past, find items and treasures that were discoverd thousand's of year's ago and keep them for yourself, or you can go to the future, Where Dr. Robotnik (A.K.A. Dr. Eggman) and Metal Sonic have taken over! The world has come to an end!... Or has it? CLASSIC SONIC GAME GOODNESS: When you think of Sonic, this is the type of game you think of! With a spin dash and fast speed, this is the only traditional Sonic game in this collection! THE APPERENCE OF METAL SONIC AND AMY ROSE: This game introduced Sonic's robotic doppleganger, Metal Sonic, and Sonic's lover, Amy Rose!

CON'S: THIS GAME IS TO SHORT: This game is almost as short of Sonic the Hedgehog 1! That's pretty short! (Why did they add a save feature?) THE SPECIAL STAGES ARE AMAZINGLY HARD: You have to hit the all the UFO's and do this while running, sound's easy, huh? Wrong... AMY CAN GET ON YOUR NERVES: At the end of level one, Amy runs up to you and hugs you and you have to jump to get out of it! This can get on your nerves when you are trying to look up and down for something!

OVERALL RATING: 8.7

This is my 2nd fave game on here, all because of the original-ness of it! It's like a mixture of Sonic 1,2 and Sonic & Knuckles!

Sonic R

PRO'S: 4-PLAYER MODE: This game offers the player amounts of 1,2,3 and 4! Perfect for a party, get-together or just for the family! ALTERNATE EGGMAN VERSION'S OF MOST PLAYERS: We have Metal Sonic, Metal Knuckles, Puppet Tails, Eggbot and, although not a Dr. Robotnik robotic character, Super Sonic and Eggman himself! RUN AT SUPER-FAST SPEEDS: Playing as Sonic, Knuckles, Metal Sonic, Metal Knuckles and Super Sonic is going to be a thrill because of the speed!

CON'S:

BARLEY ANY LEVELS: With only five levels, there is not much of a variety when it comes to enviroments... Let's see... We have a Beach, City, Pyramid, Waste Dump and Space.... Hmm... Not much of a variety, eh? AMY IS SO SLOW: A Snail could probobly beat her! And her boost, although it does make her as fast as Super Sonic (or faster!) You can't control it besides making the car wiggle a bit. So, yeah, she isn't that good of a character, but if you want a challenge, pick her. VERY EASY: This may be good in some opinions, but I like challenging games, and this isn'y very challenging....

Overall Rating: 8.3

Game can be boring if there is no one to play with and it is unchallenging but if you want a nice game you can beat in One Hour, then this is the game for you!

Bonus Material

I will rate them instead of review them:

120 Artwork piece challenge: 7.5
Vectroman 1: 6.3
Vectorman 2: 5.6
Manuals: 6.7

For a game collection, there really aren't many unlockables. I just plainly don't like those "Vectorman" Games, I own both, and I don't like either very much... I do like some of the pieces of artwork they threw in, some are nice, but it is rather easy to unlock if you have alot of time on your hands! The manuals extra isn't that phenominol, but it is nice to have your own manual for a game!

Collection Rating: 8.9

The collection is very nice, although it does feel weird about those Gamegear games in there, those should have been replaced with Knuckles Chaotix, Sonic Pocket Adventure, Waku Waku Sonic Police Car and some others (SegaSonic the Hedgehog woulden't work because it used a special rollar ball, maybe a Nintendo Revolution port? Anything can happen...) but yes, it is a very nice collection. The games are:

Sonic the Fighters/Championship (ARC)
Sonic CD (SCD, PC)
Sonic R (SS, PC)
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (GG)
Sonic the Hedgehog Triple Trouble (GG)
Sonic Drift 2 (GG)
Sonic Spinball (GG)
Tails Skypatrol (GG)
Tails Adventures (GG)
Vectorman (SG)
Vectorman 2 (SG)

I hope you enjoyed my VERY long review, bye!

Fun=***** Its a video game and an awesome one.
Educational=** Uhh it teaches you about old games,I guess.
Durable=*** Its a CD so it's not that durable.

Now on with the review,

Sonic the Fighters:The best game on the disk.Its a fighting
game and a fun one.This is the first time its ever been on
a console.It has 8 playable characters(Sonic,Tails,Knuckles,
Amy,Espio,Fang,Bean,and Bark)and 2 non-playable characters
(Metal Sonic and Dr.Robotnick).It has 9 stages.My favorite
is South Island.Each character also has their own set of attacks.
Score:9.5

Sonic CD:This game reminds me of the original sonic games.It
has a cool little time travel that lets you go to the past or
future.The past looks like prehistoric times,and the future
is a world taken over by Metal Sonic and Eggman.Also when you
finish a level with a certain amount of rings you go to a bonus
level where you destroy UFOs.A pretty fun game.
Score:8.2

Sonic R:Another good game.This ones a racing game.
It has 4 default characters(Sonic,Tails,Knuckles,and Amy)And 6 unlockable
characters(Dr.Robotnick,Metal Sonic,Doll Tails,Metal Knuckles,and
Egg Robo)There are also 5 tracks(Resort Island,Radical City,Regal
Ruin,Reactive Factory,and Radiant Emerald.
The controls take a while to get used to,but once you get the hang of it its pretty
fun.
Score:9.0

Plus 6 bonus GameGear games,

Sonic the Hedgehog 2:A regular Sonic game.Its okay.
Score:6.3

Sonic Spinball:Some type of pinball game.The worst of the GameGear games.
Score:5.1

Sonic the Hedgehog Triple Trouble:Look at Sonic the Hedgehog 2,
but you can play as Sonic or Tails.Its okay.
Score:6.7

Sonic Drift 2:A kart racing game with 6 charcters(Sonic,Tails,
Knuckles,Amy,Dr.Robotnick,and M.Sonic).I think its fun,just hard.
Score:7.4

Tails Skypatrol:In this game you only play as Tails and if you
hit anything,you lose health.
This game was only avalible in Japan.The only way you can play this game here is through Sonic
Adventure DX(Another great game) and this game.Pretty good.
Score:7.8

Tails Adventure:In this game you can only play as Tails.You also
have to equip your weapons which are bombs.
You can also equip character powers that let you do special abilities like Sonics
Spin Dash.The best of the GameGear games.
Score:7.9

I havent unlocked the Vectorman games but when I do I will review
them here.I hope you liked my review!Signing out.Oh yeah one more
thing before I go,GET THIS GAME!!!
-Mecha

sonic gems is a must have sonic fans. you must buy me!!!

this is my favorit game because it has sonic CD and graphics like an arcade game.Sonic R and sonic fighters don't have as good graphics as the new sonic the hedgehog games.sonic the fighters is my favorite game.Sonic the fighters is based on astory where tails builds a ship that can only fit one person so every one has a competition to see who gets to be the hero. the heros fight each other they punch and kick all the time its real funny when you hit some ones head and it goes flat. the caricters are sonic,tails,knuckels,amy,fang,bean,espio and bark. I give this game an
A+++++ :)
this is a good game and I think ypu should buy gota take my shower by

I like this game

I don't have this game, but after all the movies I've seen on it, I am beginning to like it. I told my dad to get it for me as a birthday present. My sister, a big Tails fan, would love the Tails' Adventures & Tails Skypatrol games. (Sonic CD,) The game I have most desired to play, will make my dreams come true. I understand there are nine games, so are there any unlockable games?

The gem of all Sonic games!

This video game features a lot of rare games. I recently got this video game and I enjoy playing the games very much.

Included are 3 action games:

Sonic Racing: This racing game is so easy and fun, there are no driving skills required! Join Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Amy in a 3D grand prix, featuring hidden shortcuts, Chaos Emeralds, and even a cast of new characters!

Sonic CD: Face off against the evil Metal Sonic, collect the Time Stones and rescue Amy! To collect a Time Stone, end a stage with at least 50 rings. A giant ring will appear. Jump into the giant ring, and then destroy all the UFOs. Collect all the Time Stones to reveal Sonic's future.

Sonic The Fighter: The arcade fighter classic comes home exclusively for the Nintendo Gamecube! Play as Sonic or one of his friends and battle it out. This game introduces 2 new characters; Bean, a green bird who wears the same shoes Sonic does, and Bark, a polar bear who's even tougher than Knuckles!

Six Game Gear games are also included:

Sonic 2: Get the Emeralds and save Tails from Dr. Eggman! Please note: One Emerald is hidden in each stage. Collect them all to gain access to the Crystal Egg zone and rescue Tails.

Sonic Pinball: Sonic uses his pinball-like abilities to defeat Dr. Eggman once more.

Sonic Triple Trouble: Knuckles and Nack the Weasel have hidden the emeralds! To get an emerald, hit an emerald box with at least 50 rings. There are various things you have to do to get the emeralds, but you will get the last emerald when you defeat Dr. Eggman.

Sonic Drift 2: If you prefer kart racing, this game is one you should play. It features courses from the Genesis Sonic 2, plus new courses. Best of all, you can choose the racers or let the game choose for you.

Tails' Sky Patrol: Originally released for Japan, Tails goes on a vacation without Sonic, only to have it ruined by a new villain, Witchcart. Can he join the Sky Patrol and defeat the evil witch?

Tails Adventure: Before Sonic had his "adventure," Tails went on one of his own, collecting boots, bombs, and everything in between.

Plus, You'll see lots of artwork in the Sonic museum, and maybe even a few surprises!

Overall, I would recommend this for ANY Sonic fan. Don't miss your chance to add this to your collection!

FINALLY

They really approved this from SMC ' SMC got boring quickly because the stuff on there are hard to unlock and just got tiring so i never unlocked nothing on that game

At first when i heard about SGC i thought i was gonna be disapointed because they emulated the pc versions of scd and sr but they didnt act all like pc versions which is good now im not disapointed in the collection '

Pros

now you can save youre games

catchy gems music

the unlockables will make you not get bored 'with the game

The Game Gear games

Cons

sonic the fighters has bad controllers and the characters move to slow

Also im glad they included the game gear games, because some are to hard to unlock on SADX

And heres my other reviews for games on here

Sonic CD 9/10

Now dont be fooled by the 9 out of 10 review its still a cool game but the main problem is when youre at a boss battle like tidal tempest or the final boss ' that annoying super peel out gets in the game but all and that this game is okay and it has good music except for the boss music & the game over music

Sonic R 10/10

orginally i own this on pc including sonic cd but i only played it on the pc once ' but now i can finally play it the easy way this game rocks the music is good richard jacques does a hell of a job ' with the music the game does not get boring even if you already unlocked all characters ' Its just one of those games that gives ya the feeling to race

Sonic The Fighters 7/10

I could be the only person who gives this a low rating but the game is good but not all that good their is frausration in the fighting stages especially when you try to unlock super sonic which i havent yet due to the difficulty in unlocking him ' In my opinion just playing the game with a friend is better

Overall like i said before the collection is okay and i recommend it to long time sonic fans :)

Sonic Gems is a keeper!!!

I bought this game because i had the original Sonic Mega Collection, I loved Sonic CD and It was on SALE!!! for $17.88.

Ok anyways heres what i thought of the games (Out of 5 stars each):

Sonic the Fighters: **** - Pretty good game, i play it once in a while when im bored. Everyone should try this game.

Sonic CD: ***** - Probably my favorite game on the game. The music, gameplay and graphics are snazzy. Definately the best game on here.

Sonic R: ***** - Another good game. I play this whenever im done with Sonic CD for the day. It's fun to play each level again except its pretty short. Definately worth playing. Especially the music.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (GG): **** - One of my favorite games for Game Gear when i used to have the thing. Probably the best GG game on here. Its worth trying to beat.

Sonic Spinball (GG): ** - Boring and slow compared to the Sega Genesis version. Pass this one.

Tail's Skypatrol (GG): * - WORST GAME ON HERE. Dont play it.

Sonic Triple Trouble (GG): *** - Seems pretty cool but i couldnt get into it. Worth trying.

Tail's Adventure (GG): *** - Not bad, but very slow, i played this for a bit and decided to stop playing cause i wanted some fast action sonic. With trying.

Conclusion: I bought this game and i thought it was worth $17.88, Heck its worth the $30. With the Good games which are half the collection and the LOTS of unlockable. Definately a pick up. HAVE FUN WITH IT!! i am.

PS: If you get this, i recommend you get a memory card cause it takes alot of blocks to save your file.

Greatest collection EVER played!!

I bought this in blockbuster, for like, $500 pesos (same as $50 dollars) and it's so awesome!! I've been a sonic fan ever since sonic 3D blast came out for PC and it was great. Right now, I'm like 12 years old and I still love all of the sonic games! (especially the originals that started everything, thank god sega made compilations for GC) I bought this one only cause it had Sonic CD and Sonic the fighters, because I wanted to see how was a sonic game based on fighting and because everybody talks about sonic CD being the best sonic game there is(including amy's debut and the intro and ending movies!!!) Anyways, I have SA2:B, SADX, Sonic mega collection, Sonic heroes, SA,2,3 and Sonic battle. (oh and this one too) Anyway, here are the ratings for each game.

Sonic the fighters:
After playing sonic CD, you might like to play this game, because its so cartoony and cheesy, like when you use the scissor punch, their heads flatten!!(LOL) Especially the foot crush, the horse kick AND the disarming!!!(I play it only for fun and even when I'm angry or sad)Fang, Bean and Bark ROCK!!
Graphics: 9.5
Fun: 10
Time:(how long it takes you to beat the game)8.5 (pretty average for a fighting game)
I would like to play the original one, although the Z button here is adapted to PKB.(arcade)

Sonic CD:
Surely, it is what I was expecting to play, it so awesome! Especially the time warp thingy, past, present and future have their own style of music and they're quite different. My favorite stage was wacky workbench and metallic madness. (sonic is SOOO cute when they shrink him!)I didn't like amy, though. When you save her, she comes running to Sonic and hugs him! The US soundtrack rocks, (sonic boom)and the intro and last movies are very cool, lot of high speed action, perfectly describes sonic. I really liked the part where you have to race against metal sonic.
Graphics: 20!! (if you mix the normal sonic sprite and the movies, its awesome!)
Fun: 8.5 (you could some times get sick of it and want to throw it away.)
Time: 7.0 (you can take a lot of time finishing this one, I finished like in 3 days)

Sonic R:
Best sonic racing game EVER played. (well, I'll have to check out Sonic Riders before I rate this one) I love the music, the stages, the characters and getting both the tokens and the chaos emeralds! In short, I love all of it. Even though it takes a little bit of time to unlock Super Sonic and the other secret characters, (Egg robo sucks, don't use it) it's really cool. Super Sonic is really fast. Get all of the chaos emeralds and you'll unlock him. He can even fly over water!
Graphics: 9.5
Fun: 100!!! (It rocks!!)
Time: 7.5(It's really easy to beat, even for a sonic game)

Sonic Triple Trouble:
Kinda fun, IF you have a saved game file, if not, it's absolutely boring. It doesn't give off that much attention actually, because I wanted to fight against Fang the Sniper, but it's real slow and you always seem to get stuck in the last stages.
Graphics: 6.5 (so-so)
Fun: 7.2
Time: 5.2 (it's not good)

Sonic the hedgehog 2:
It's really cool for a GG sequel and it's even better than Sonic the hedgehog. I haven't finished the game because I don't have enough space for it, but it still cool. I like the plot saying that Tails has been kidnapped by Dr. Eggman.
Graphics: 9.5 (good for a GG game)
Fun: 9.0 (cause in the 2nd stage there are some things that help you fly and I'm not good at that, and so I can't get to the other side)
Time: ?

Sonic Spinball:
It sucks. It's one of the sonic games I've never played and never will. You're really slow compared to the genesis version,(it's way much better than this one)and if you could imagine sonic as a normal pinball ball, it would be a plain and normal game. Nothing to do with the sonic games. DON'T play this, EVER.
Graphics: 4.5
Fun: 0.0 (it really sucks)
Time: ?

Tails' Skypatrol:
It's great. I can't believe this one only was available in Japan! Even though Tails kinda bumps almost into everything the whole time, it's fun and cute.(his little ring!)I'll warn you that, in some occasions, you get REALLY stuck, no kidding, like in the darkcastle area.
Graphics: 10
Fun: 9.2 (parts you get stuck)
Time: 9.9 (I would like it to have less parts getting stuck and it would be perfect)

Tails Adventures:
It rocks for a GG game! Who would've thought of putting in little tiny items you takewith you to help you out(especially th remote robot) and actually puttignin Tails' house! I'd say it's a little bit like RPG games, because in some ocassions, you have to use the right thing to get past through.
Graphics: 10
Fun: 9.7 (Some bosses are hard)
Time: 7.8 (too slow)

Sonic Drift 2:
It's better that the original one, and it has fang, amy and metal sonic in it! It's also much more fun than the other one, more extense "worlds" and more challenging. And it's really easy to win if you know which character suits you and how to take on those curves.
Graphics: 10 (really good for a mini kart racing game)
Fun: 9.8
Time: 9.4 (good for a kart racing game, but still to fast)

Vectorman:
Even though it doesn't have to do nothing with the sonic games, it's kinda cool.
Graphics: 10 (they're awesome, especially the animation)
Fun: 6.7
Time: 1.0 (too long)

Vectorman 2:
Way much better than the other one. More stages, transformations and stuff.
Graphics: 10
Fun: 7.8
Time: 1.0 (and again, too long)

Over all, I give this game a 10, if i could give it more it would be a 100! (not including vectorman and sonic spinball)
And it really gets you going with the museum, because every day you have new stuff to unlock, like videos, demos, and cool pics of sonic!!

The Best Game Ever
(SONIC ADVENTURE)
Title: sonic adventure
System required: dream cast
Rating: E (for every one)
Genre: adventure

Do you like videogames? You probably do. Have you ever played sonic adventure? Well, if you have not then picture this, you're under a water fall but you do not drown. Or even if you're under water for a long time you steel do not drown. Unlike us we would drown. Then you push a button, then your automatically flying .THATS REALLY COOL.

You would love the graphics. They are in 3D. They also look real. The cars, the train's .the characters, the dirt, the wood, even the water .Lets just say it all looks real. It's a relaxing game. When I play this game it makes me feel great. For girls let's just say after a hard day or if your boyfriend breaks up with you. I bet you if you play sonic adventure you will forget all about him (same for the boys).

The sound of the game is awesome. The rhythm is like a steady beat. When you get these rings (their golden) it makes a ding sound. When you fly it makes a calm relaxing noise. When you're under water it makes a (dunt, dunt, dunt, dunt) like off the movie jaws. It's pretty cool.

You have a variety of choices. As matter of fact there are 6 playable characters, each with his or her own skills and abilities. If you ask whats cool about this game, well everything is. The coolest is that they are 50 massive levels, bosses and mini games. There is an exclusive life-system: breed and train chaos, characters with the VMU and then race them both in sonic adventure. Is that cool or what. I think kids 7-15 would like it. It's great for both boys and girls. 5 of the characters are boys 1 of the characters is a girl. Not just because of the characters, well it's a children's game no matter if you're a boy or a girl.

Like I said before this game is really cool. If you like sonic (don't matter which one) and you like adventure and also fun then this game is for you.
