I have played many a Sonic game in my 12+ years of playing video games, but I never owned all of them, nor have I beaten them all. Sonic Mega Collection will be a great addition to my library, and an opportunity to add to my list of games which I have mastered.

Hopefully, anyone who was dissappointed with Sonic Adventure 2: Battle will remember the Sonic games from the Genesis, and want this upcoming compilation. Don't get me wrong, I liked SA2: Battle, and I even own it. Despite the weak points, I was impressed. This Mega Collection is a chance for old Sonic fans to rediscover their roots, and for new fans to see Sonic in his pre-3D prime.

Ah, memories.

I grew up on Sonic. At first I went for Gamecube only because of Sonic Adventure 2: Battle. But this 'hog (and his friends) are coming back. Sonic the Hedgehog, STH 2, and STH 3 would be enough for me. But the pinball fun of Sonic Spinball, the red fun of Sonic and Knuckles, the challenge of Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine, and the neat (for it's time) graphics of Sonic 3D Blast is a neat finish. All it needs is Sonic CD (from the Sega CD) and Sonic Triple Trouble. But Flicky and Ristar, as well as Blue Sphere (minigame from S&K) and Knuckles in STH 2 & 3 is good enough for me. But Sega and Sonic Team put in Sonic movies, Sonic art, and Sonic comics. With a remake of Sonic Adventure 1 next year, Gamecube fans will really have some speedy fun.

the best game ever!!...

I've done reviews on Sonic 1,2,3,S&K,SA/SA2 and Sonic Advance. Should I do Sonic Mega Collection? Let me think....... yeah (I am a Sega fanboy mind you). Who would've imagined you'd be able to play as Sega's beloved mascot on a Nintendo console and not get the feds called on ya? (times have truly changed in video games my friends). SMC gathers almost every single one of Sonic's best games (with a few exceptions of course) on get this: ONE disc! But for some reason Sonic CD is missing...oh well maybe next time.The games included with thier 2-D side scrolling play engines, (don't laugh most of you grew up playing these types of games) gihugic levels (and yes I did make that word up) and obscure terms like "Blast Processing". Each title has been faithfully reproduced fight down to the very last sprite, but without the slowdown. Nostalgic gamers and videogame historians (like me) may get more out of SMC, but it's a decent complilation of some of the best Sonic games created minus a few screw-ups.

A reason why people love the old-school

Sonic Mega Collection can be summed up that newer games can't cut it these days. You get practically all the Genesis Sonic games in this compilation which isn't a bad thing. Sonic 1 was good, Sonic 2 was better, Sonic 3 is practically is the best, and S and K was prety good. The others Mean Bean Machine and Spinball are also reasons to own. 3D Balst don't because it's bad, get the better PC version. All in all these are great and those who remember Sonic 3 getting stuck at that part in Carnival Night can't get [angry] again because it's still there. Special Features, hidden games, and more make Mega Collection a thing to own. Sega, for allof us who wanted Sonic CD in the pack, make that a feature in Sonic Adventure DX like for the GBA-GC link.

Quite the Collection!

Sonic was the rival of Mario back when Nintendo and Sega were competitors. Sonic was everything mario wasn't: fast, cocky, and had an attitude. the only similarity was that they both want to save the world.

This collection of the original sonic games is great. I wish game companies would make more platform games instead of 3-D ones because of how much FUN these could be. Anyone can enjoy these games reguardless.

The games are recreated faithfully right down to the pixel. It's a wonder of nostalga for those who lived it, and it's a world of exploration for ones who havn't.

why 4 stars? No save feature. Why use the memory cartridge if you can't save?

More like a DVD than a game, it has special features including concept art, movies, and previews.

Fun for everyone, sonic will open a new generation to the wonders of 2-d platorms! Enjoy!

Great games here are my opinions:

All Game Guide gave Sonic The Hedgehog 5 out of 5 stars for its historical importance.It was very revolutionary and groundbreaking back then. I remember when it first came out the visuals and music were so revolutionary and stunning. Now theyre old school but it is still a great game. Then Sonic 2 came along and Ive never seen anything so fast and the sound so amazing(at the time). Sonic 3 is a masterpiece and the graphics obviously took up almost all of the Genesis' power.It was one of the first really graphically stunning games since Super Mario World. Sonic and Knuckles came along and it was more of the same only more impressive but Sonic 3 was the first sign that Sonic was evolving. Sega had true classics which were some of the greatest games Ive played ever(Sonic 3 and Knuckles).
Historically, Sonic Mega Collection misses a few important games. But thats alright because the games here are all great and I can sense that there will be a Sonic Mega Collection 2 (with Game Gear,Saturn and Sega CD Sonic games on it) and that Sega is just being this quiet this year because they want to surprise us with their 2 secret weapons( a rerelease of Sonic Adventure and a whole new Sonic and Shadow game that will come to X Box and Game Cube). Those arent just rumors because they will eventually come into existence. I can sense it.

This game is pretty good.

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.

Sonic: Mega Collection RULES

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.

Glory days of Sonic

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.
