2 out of 5 stars Poor....   March 10, 2008

This game collection of Sonic is not that fun. It's full of old games with very poor graphics and sound. I bought this game for my kids and they don't enjoy it very much (they almost never play with it). If you really love Sonic, then there are other games better than this. Don't lose money and time with this game.


3 out of 5 stars Finally. Sonic CD on a console other than the Sega CD   September 2, 2007
M. Hesnan (Connecticut)
It goes without saying that more than half of the people buying this game are buying it for Sonic CD alone. Not a bad thing at all, I'm just saying from experience, the rest of the games on this disc are really not worth playing, so I'm just reviewing their treatment of Sonic CD

It's the opinion of many ( including me ) that Sonic CD is the greatest Sonic game ever made. Every level has 3 different versions, past future present etc, excellent music and graphics, awesome special stage etc. But unfortunately this Gamecube disc version has some differences both good and bad from the Sega CD version. A good difference is the opening animation for the gamecube version is so much better quality that it makes you really see how bad the Sega CD's full motion video really was. It's so beautifully improved. All of the graphics are somewhat improved too and/or just as good as the Sega CD version. The only downfall is the SOUND. The music a little bit but mainly the sound effects are very very VERY noticably lower quality when compared to the Sega CD version and it honestly does effect the value of the game. I'm sure some other people know what I'm talking about but when I play the sonic gems version, part of my brain just says man, I wish the sound was the same. To be completely honest, the Sega CD disc had mezmerizing crystal clear hi fi sound, it was total ear candy. It doesn't seem like they did a very good job with the transfer, sonic's jumps, springs, and ring collecting sounds are so choppy almost as if someone recorded them with a hand held tape recorder or something.

In all honesty, the game is still enjoyable, the 50 billion different colors, the insane graphics, the opening and ending animations. But it lacks the Sega CD version in all it's QSound glory

This is not as good as mega collection but still good.Sonic cd is good but not as good as sonic 1&2.Cause it is way to easy.I made it to the last level without even trying.Anyway the best game on the disc is sonic the fighters.

A popular game. I purchased this for my 6 year old nephew and he loves it. The 9 year old plays with it as well. Truth be told - my husband also sits there and plays the game. Very comparable to a game for the full systems.


5 out of 5 stars Sonic Gems   March 8, 2007

The reason i got this game was for Sonic CD. Without a doubt my favorite sonic game excluding the perfection that is Sonic and Knuckles 3. I used to play this game back on the PC when i used to have it. unfortunately i lost it and was overjoyed to hear it was remade for the gamecube. It plays flawlessly on my Wii and in 480p if you have component cables.

The gems collection contains Sonic R, A sonic fighting game (which is extremely fun and addicting, and surprisingly deep)and a couple others.

I would recommend this collection to any fans of the blue blur we all know and love. Relive the glory days of sonic in 2D.
