This game really brung back the classics Sonic 1, Sonic 2 which I had for mega drive when I was young happy days :) Sonic 3 which id never actually played before so it was a new challenge, Sonic and Knuckles, Sonic Spinball a arcade type game, Sonic 3d the first ever 3d sonic game, and Dr Robotniks Mean Bean machine which was a sort of Sega version of the Nintendo classic tetris. So if your a die hard Sonic fan like me id say GET THIS GAME OR F**K OFF

A great idea by Nintendo but could've been better

I was never a Sega fan but unfortunately my father bought me a Sega Genesis back around 1992 and i never wanted it. it's a good thing i got it. I was able to play Sonic the Hedgehog 1 and i loved it. I got Sonic the Hedgehog 2 about a year later and it was far greater than one esecially with Sonic's new ability to transform into Super Sonic. Unfortunately that was my last Sonic game and the Sega Genesis was my first and last Sega console. Since i got this game in 2003, i never played a single new Sonic game in 11 years since 1993. In an attempt to clean out my house i sold my Sega Genesis and brought Sonic Mega Collection to make up for my loss. Here's my review for the games on Sonic Mega Collection.

SONIC THE HEDGEHOG I: Sonic's first game. The graphics are exactly the same as the Sega Genesis. Still love it despite the fact that it is an old game and technologically less advanced compared to today's games. Robotnik makes his first appearance and begins the Sonic Vs. Robotnik rivalry. 5 stars

SONIC THE HEDGEHOG II: Tails makes his debut and Sonic acquires two new features. One, he now can use the spin dash and second, Super Sonic (once you collect all the chaos emeralds). Again still the same as the original. New way to obtain chaos emeralds. 5 stars

SONIC THE HEDGEHOG III: Knuckles makes his debut. Everything else is bacially the same except for new levels. new way to obtain chaos Emeralds which i find to be confusing and stupid.
5 stars

SONIC AND KNUCKLES: The worst game in the entire collection. Too long with no save feature making it annoying an tedious. 0 stars

SONIC SPINBALL: I hate pinball games. tried it but fell short several times. 0 stars

SONIC 3D BLAST: A great game. Graphics are awesome. Loved it.
5 stars.

ROBOTNIKS MEAN BEAN MACHINE: A good game. Similar to Dr. Mario. like it. 4 stars

Overall: 3 stars. Sonic and Knuckles and Sonic Spinball are the reason.

Some gamers based ont heir reviews claim that in order to obatin the hidden games, you access each game over 50 times. NOT TRUE YOU FOOLS. IN ORDER TO OBTAIN THE HIDDEN GAMES THERE IS A CODE. yOU MUST USE A SAVE FILE FROM OTHER SEGA GAMES WHICH INCLUDE BILLY HATCHER AND THE GIANT EGG, PHANTASY STAR ONLINE I, PHANTASY STAR ONLINE II, SONIC HEROES, SONIC ADVENTURE DX, AND SONIC ADVENTURE 2 BATTLE. HERE'S A TREAT.

IN ORDER TO OPEN FLICKY (A HIDDEN GAME) YOU MUST HAVE PLAYED SONIC ADVENTURE 2 BATTLE AND HAVE A SAVED FILE OF THIS GAME ON THE MEMROY CARD.

IN ORDER TO OPEN BLUE SPHERE (ANOTHER HIDDEN GAME) YOU MUST HAVE PLAYED PHANTASY STAR ONLINE I AND HAVE A SAVED FILE OF THIS GAME ON THE MEMORY CARD.

get it while you can...

Nintendo game cube has been phased out so if you have a gamecube and dont have this game, get it while you can, It is clean non-violent gameing and good for smaller kids. I love playing it myself and I am fifty! lol

A strong casual fan leaves his feedback

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.
