Especially if you play it with friends because a couple of the games are multiplayer. I got this for Christmas and it brings back memories. Sonic 3 is my favorite game but the hidden game Flicky, and Dr. Robotnik's Mean bean machine also come close. Overall, this game is cool because it has around 10 or so games on it. However, don't expect the graphics to be topnotch or anything. They're pretty good and all, but then again, they were directly ported from the Sega games.

This game is really cool. I play Sonic alot and me and my sister love the games and charecters. This game is cool. But you can only save 1 of the games in it, which takes ALOT of time to beat the whole game(s). I don't play this much, but its still cool. Just play it. If you dont like it, play Sonic Adventure 2: Battle or wait for Sonic Adventure DX.

Being an old school sonic fan, I can strongly endorse this game. This game has all the genesis games made. The basic run-to-the-end-of-the-stage gameplay is what rules here. The bosses are simple, just time your jumps just right, hitting Robotnik 8 times to beat him. There is also the chaos emerald collecting, which is different in every game. After collecting 7 chaos emeralds, you can transform to supersonic, after collecting either 50 or 100 rings(I can't remember, its been so long.) Trust me, this is a must have for anyone who claims to be a sonic fan. Its just old school 2D Sonic, but what do you expect from games made from a system 10 years old? Graphics are 16-bit quality, but what do you expect from Sega Genesis games?

My only objection is the exclusion of Sonic CD and the inclusion of Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine.(Wasn't this game a Kirby game on SNES?) If Sonic CD was included, this would be perfect.

Well worth your money.

Great Game...

Sonic Mega Collection: To sum it up in 1 word brilliant. Its got all the classics in there. The only thing which could have been added is a save mode for every game. So buy it now! Oh and by the way no sonic game is retarded, ryan, so that must just be you, and its not isothermic its isometric, so learn to spell!

nice compilation CD

I remember all of the Sonic games from the Genesis days and I must say that playing Sonic brings back memories, especially the first Sonic. Some of the old cheats, codes and shortcuts apply to the Nintendo Gamecube and that's a good thing. But I like to play every single level of the games, no skipping.

However, Sonic Spinball can be a long and tedious game. I love pinball like the next person, but Sonic Spinball can be a bit irritating as you try to collect the crystal and defeat the master. Sonic 3D I just completely ignored (I'm really not into 3D). I played "Dr. Robotnik Mean Bean Machine" and it's cool. But I rather play Sonic 1, 2 and 3. I haven't played Sonic and Knuckles that much.

So if you want to go back in time (or just miss playing Sonic), I recommend this game.

Best deal available for the Game Cube system.

But it might be cheating to call it the best game available for that system because its basically just all the Sonic games from back in the day with a few other Genesis games to unlock.But still out of all the games available on the Game Cube this collection of Genesis ones is my favorite title.Okay now on to the available games.
1.Sonic The Hedgehog-The ultimate 2 dimensional.platform game.Thats what I thought of it back then and thats what I think of it now.The graphics may be dated but the music is as good as ever.5 stars.
2.Sonic The Hedgehog 2-More of the same and almost as good.Again the music is the highlight especially on the Aquatic Ruin Zone.4 stars.
3.Sonic The Hedgehog 3-Almost as good as the original and pretty different too.Graphics are a little improved and the music is still good.4 and a half stars.
4.Sonic And Knuckles- Possibly the best one since the original.Out of this world graphics and great music to boot.5 stars.
5.Sonic Spinball-This game is only for hardcore Sonic fans seeing as its so hard.I could only make it through the first level.1 star.
6.Sonic 3D Blast-Incredibly bland and outdated.Isnt even fun.0 stars.

It's Good, but It's Missing a Few Things

At first glance, this has everything that a Sonic fan would want. It has all the Sonic games on Genesis and even a non-Sonic related Genesis game. It is however missing three games which were different from the rest. The games that are on it are: Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic 2, Sonic 3, Sonic and Knuckles, Blue Sphere(Sonic 1 attached to Sonic and Knuckles), Knuckles in Sonic 2, Sonic 3 & Knuckles, Sonic 3D Blast, Sonic Spinball, Dr. Robotnik's Bean Machine, Flicky, and Ristar. That's a pretty impressive list but it's missing some hard to get games. The first is Sonic CD. It was released on the Sega CD, but most people didn't get to play it until it came out on PC. It's highlights include time traveling and an excellent CD soundtrack. The PC version isn't too hard to find, but it doesn't run on computers with Windows XP. For that reason it should've been included on this, as most people have upgraded from earlier versions of Windows. They already added the cutscenes to the extras, and I really doubt they were running out of room on the disc. The next game it's missing is Knuckles Chaotix, a game featuring Knuckles and his friends that was released on the 32X. For that reason alone it's hard to get as it's virtually the only worthwhile game on the 32X. The last one is Sonic R, which was released on Sega Saturn and PC. It's a racing game like Mario Kart, but with Sonic characters. I have the PC version, but it doesn't seem to work on my computer and most people don't have a Saturn, so it should probably be on here too. If those games were on it, it would get a 5, as all the games are great, but as it is , it feels incomplete. The $20 price tag isn't bad, though. If you're Sonic fan, then should get it for sure. Even if you aren't you should still give it a try.

Ahh... Sonic 2-D.. memory

I also grew up on the Sonic games. My favorite was Sonic 2 with it's easily explioted Debug Mode. The secrets are great too. Flicky, Ristar, Blue Sphere... I sold my Genesis for this, but I'm considering buying another, with the differnt body style, to overclock.

Welcome back to the 80's folks

This is a very fun compilation disc. As an SNES owner, I never had a copy of the Sonic games, so this was a great addition to my library. It includes 7 main games, unlockable games, and lots of bonus material.

Of the 7 games, Mean Bean Machine and Sonic 3D Blast are the duds. One is a tetris/puzzle bobble/tetris attack variation while the other is a pseudo-3D game from an isometric perspective. Its nice to have them for completion purposes, but thats about it. Sonic Spinball is a cool (if hard) pinball variation.

The real fun is in the 4 traditional platformers, ranging from Sonic 1 to Sonic and Knuckles. All four stand the test of time very well, with catchy music, tight controls, and colorful graphics. Sonic 3 is probably the weakest, as it's rather short and seems more mean-spirited about where hazards are placed, but its still a fun time. As a side note, the variations of the "Sonic and Knuckles" lock-on cart are also included as bonuses.

So what's missing? Sonic CD, which is rumoured to be on the next mega collection (the videos are here though). A save function (apart from Sonic 3) would also have been nice. Finally, the PS2 and X-Box editions have the Game Gear Sonic games as bonuses, but these can be found on the Sonic Adventure Director's Cut disc for those interested. Sonic Mega Collection is a worthwhile old school gaming experience.
