 Very cool - If you don't already own all the games on the list January 9, 2007

The Sonic Mega Collection Plus is yet another excuse from Sega to get money off the blue blur. Most hardcore Sonic fans from the beginning of his reign already own most, if not ALL, of these games, thus making you pay 20 dollars or so for what is mearly an all-together collection of, not one, but 6 or 7 games you already own. There are other ways to be nostalgic, that cost MUCH less money that I will not name in this review. If you're new to the franchise, then go for it. These are all excellent games and should not go unplayed. But for the rest of us, I'm gonna sit here with my classic Genesis and play them old-skool style.
 Sonic still Rocks!! September 12, 2006
So I just bought this two weekends ago and haven't really had all that time to play but what I have played is just fantastic. Man, not just the whole nostalgia factor of playing games that I loved when I was a young teenager but the shear fun of it. These games, although more than 10 years old, are just plain great! Sure the controlling is a little odd once in awhile and the sound leaves a lot to be desired but, COME ONE, Sonic rocks! To me, Mario was great, but Sonic was much, much better. Not only did he go wicked fast but he was cool, had attitude and a sense of humor. The worlds were challenging and fun and filled with inventive ideas. And the sequels only added on to that, giving us better worlds, more advanced gameplay, and introducing new characters like Tails and Knuckles! I'm so glad I bought this game set because I can't help but fall in love with Sonic the Hedgehog all over again.
And the fact that I can save the games.
Only buy If you have a PS2 April 3, 2006

If you have the orginal mega colloction you don't need this. True it has all the game gear games on it but heres the deal. If you have a gamcube just buy Dx and unlock all the game so only buy this if you are a ture colloctor. But also it has more movies and you can view more of the comics and videos so it's alright.

Anyone old enough to remember SEGA's glory days with their 16-bit Genesis system will no doubt remember the old Sonic the Hedgehog games. Sonic Mega Collection Plus features all of the SEGA mascot's appearances on the classic console, as well as six titles from SEGA's portable Game Gear system. Genesis titles include Sonic 1, 2, and 3; as well as Sonic & Knuckles, Sonic Spinball, Sonic 3-D Blast, and the puzzler Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine. The Game Gear titles include Sonic 1, Sonic Labyrinth, Sonic Drift, Sonic Chaos, Sonic Blast, and Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine; and there are unlockable games including the Knuckles add-on stages as well as Comix Zone, Ristar, Flicky, and the Ooze. The games are wonderfully emulated and the Genesis games still look crisp and respond well, but not all the games here are great. Sonic 3-D Blast (one of the last Genesis games) is abysmal, and most of the Game Gear titles, specifically Sonic Labyrinth, Sonic Drift, and Sonic Blast, are pretty shoddy. Despite that, there's plenty here for longtime Sonic fans to love, including the big plus of having the underrated classic Comix Zone as an unlockable, and a horde of extras as well. However, there are some glaring omissions here, such as the Game Gear title Sonic Triple Trouble, the Sega CD title Sonic CD, as well as the Saturn racing title Sonic R and Sonic the Fighters, and the 32X title Knuckles Chaotix. Despite all that, Sonic Mega Collection Plus is a must own for Sonic fans or for fans of retro gaming, and for the price of what you get here, this is a deal that can't be beat.
Great compilation, but some glaring omissions February 9, 2006

Ahh, Sonic. What can I say that hasn't already been said? If you lived through the 90s then you know the little cobalt hedgehog and the amount of fun his games were. Sonic 1 was a revolution; Sonic 2 increased the gameplay exponentially; Sonic 3 was great but was kind of a mystery. There were obvious parts of the levels that Sonic couldn't get through. Why? We finally learned the reasons when Sonic & Knuckles came out with its backwards-compatability. Luckily Sonic 3 & Knuckles and Sonic 2 & Knuckles are accessible as unlockable games in this PS2 version. It's also great to play Spinball again, as well as the great old Game Gear titles. Notice I didn't say anything about the abomination that was 3D Blast.
But there are some missing games here that would have made this the perfect compilation. I'm speaking specifically about Sonic CD, the old Sega CD game that included time travel and an absolutely rocking soundtrack. This old game had its flaws (terrible loading times between worlds, for one), but it really is an integral part of Sonic's history in the 90s. Another missing game is Knuckles Chaotix. This game for the 32X was not that great (the controls were horrible), but again, to complete the history of Sonic it should have been included.
It would have been really fun, too, if they had somehow included the Sonic 2 Beta version! How many of you out there remember the lost Hidden Palace Zone?
