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.

I was a Nintendo fanboy when Sega was in the console business, so I never played many Sega games, the exception being the games starring a small blue hedgehog. With Sonic "Officially-Unofficially" exclusive to Nintendo's systems now, we can finally experience all of the blue blur's games on one system, with the release of both Sonic Adventure games on the Gamecube (the first adventure is being ported next year) and new games on the GBA, it makes sense to bring all of Sonic's previous adventures to the Gamecube.
The title itself tells you these are exclusively games from Sonic's Genesis days (Known as the "Megadrive" in Japan... "Mega Collection"... get it?) And contains the following games:
Sonic The Hedgehog - Sonic is out to defeat Dr. Robotnik from turning all his animal friends into robots.
Sonic The Hedgehog 2 - Sonic and his new pal Tails set out to defeat Dr. Robotnik once again, in this excellent sequel.
Sonic The Hedgehog 3 - The first Sonic game to feature a save feature (and the ONLY game on this disc that has a save feature) Sonic and Tails tangle with Robotnik once more, but this time they also have to deal with Knuckles, an Echidna who believes that Sonic and Tails are the bad guys!
Sonic and Knuckles - Sonic and Knuckles team up to fight Dr. Robotnik together! Knuckles brings some new gameplay to the series, but ultimatly, this game didn't sell very well.
Sonic 3-D Blast - Sonic must maneuver through a 3-D world to rescue Flickie Island!
Sonic Spinball - A Sonic flavored pinball game features four stages and bosses.
Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine - Based on the popular Japanese puzzle game Puyo Puyo, players must match colored blobs to defeat Robotnik and his army of robots.

The game also features two other unlockable Genesis games created by Sonic Team, Ristar and Flicky, both of which have faded into obscurity. You can also unlock "Sonic and Knuckles" enhanced version of Sonic 1-3.

Other features include galleries of manual art, a few movies and comic book pages. Otherwise, the extras are pretty weak (the History of Sonic video is pretty grainy) and despite not being included, the intro and ending for Sonic CD are included.

This is a fine collection of Sonic's Genesis days, but those looking for any extra treats will probably be disappointed. A previous collection of Sonic's games, Sonic Jam for the Saturn, was jam packed of extras, including Japanese and American commercials and animation, as well as a unique 3-D overworld to roam about. Here all you get is a lot of menus. Plus, not adding a save feature to all the games in Mega Collection as they did in Sonic Jam really hurts the game. While hard core Sonic fans won't mind the lack of a save feature, it may turn of casual gamers who don't want or have time to spend two hours in one play session. Fortunatly, the stage skip codes from the original games work here as well. Another feature that might have been nice would be graphically enhanced versions of the games, a la "Mario All-Stars", and implemented the "Sonic Adventure" style of art into the game. But nonetheless the games look just as good as they did on the Genesis.

Sonic's other adventures on the Sega CD, Game Gear, Sega Saturn or Dreamcast are not included in this collection, but as I mentioned before this is only a collection of Sonic's Genesis adventures. Who knows, if this collection does well, perhaps we will see Sonic CD again soon!

Sonic Sonic!!!

2. Sonic the hedgehog 2- This time robotnik tries to take over the world using the giant ship called the Death Egg. Help sonic And his new bud tails to stop the death egg from destroying the world.
3.sonic the hedgehog 3- Continues right after sonic 2. This time after crashing the death egg on the floating island sonic and tails must stop Robotnik before he finds the master emerald.
4.Sonic&Knuckles-Join sonic and knuckles as they try to protect the master emerald.
5.Sonic spinball- Help sonic escape robotniks evil pinball fortress.
6.Sonic 3D blast- Save all of the filkies befor Robotnik captures them all.

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? Hopefully they clean up the graphics for this update, but if not, who really cares?!?!

Oldschool Goodness

I was around when these games first came out and, I still believe these are even better than the new ones(in certain aspects). Although you may not be able to fully experience the combining features of sonic and knuckles(unless they are the 3 unknown hidden games)this will still be great. Although the graphics are 16 bit, which means dont expect great graphics by todays standards, they are still fluid and fast. Each game has around 13-20 levels except for Sonic 3, which has 6. Buy this game and play the games that shapped the face of gaming.

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.

Sonic! Yaaaaaaaaaaay!
