    I love this game! It may just be an emulation running on the DS, but man alive... I enjoyed playing classic Sonic on the train and at work. I played and finished all four of the main games. I loved every moment. I could mention certain small blemishes like the occasional frame-rate dips, the odd graphical glitch here and there or the fact that the Sonic 3 mini-boss music is absent...

But all that is is rendered absolutely redundant in the face of how much fun I have had playing the thing. Who would have thought back in the day that all those old Mega Drive games could fit on something the size of a coin? Wonderful stuff!… Expand

    If your a fan of the classic Sonic games 1-3 & Knuckles then you'll love this.It's a nice port of these games to the DS that you are able to take with you with the very welcome edition of a save feature for the first 2 games that you can't get on the originals. There's some slow down and graphical glitches on this one but overall nothing really game breaking as far as i can tell.

For Sonic fans with a DS or 3DS it's a must buy or if you've never played these games before and have a DS or 3DS it's a great way to do so… Expand

    Sonic Classic Collection is an excellent collection for the Nintendo DS featuring some of the best sonic games out there, all in one collection. While some of the games features some really strange glitches where your character may suddenly disappear from the screen, they don't happen too often. But the best addition to this collection is the ability to save your progress for the firstSonic Classic Collection is an excellent collection for the Nintendo DS featuring some of the best sonic games out there, all in one collection. While some of the games features some really strange glitches where your character may suddenly disappear from the screen, they don't happen too often. But the best addition to this collection is the ability to save your progress for the first time in sonic the hedgehog 1 and 2, which makes this version superior to the iphone version of the game. Plus it also includes knuckles playable on both sonic the hedgehog 2 and 3. And a couple of extra illustrations in the game for you to see. If you already own this collection in perhaps Sonic Mega Collection, but you still want to play this game on the go, then this is definitely the title for you. And for only 20 dollars, you get an excellent deal!… Expand

    Knuckles in Sonic 3 alone makes this collection great, but when you add both versions of Sonic 2, Sonic and Knuckles and regular Sonic 3, this is a compilation that you must pick up!

    Great ports, however, it's disappointing that they didn't put Sonic CD in this collection. Also, I wish they'd have put the spin dash in sonic 1, just to make it a bit more fun.

    The game that introduced me to an amazing series

The game also includes an art gallery with artwork for the older games in the franchise. The game runs really well in Sonic 1 and 2 but Sonic 3 is a little buggy at times. The devs even went above and beyond to keep the original stage select screens, sound test codes and debug modes! All in all, Sonic Classic Collection is a near perfect game    … Expand

    Worth for those that want to remember the classics or for those that don't know them.

    Sonic Classic Collection is a good, but flawed compilation for the Nintendo DS that just screams "small budget, short development cycle!" It is what it is: four great Sonic games accurately ported to a half-assed compilation.

    It's not a great port and we'd have liked more content, but the quality gameplay shines through.
