    Well I had written a very long review for this game, but the good ole internet decided to crap out and now I have to start over. But let me just give the basics here.

But let me just give the basics here.

    Sonic Origins is a decent collection for these games, but it's not worth the price they are asking for considering we're talking about old games that have been re-released many times. Yes, these are mainly improved versions of those games, but it's still not worth 40 or 45 bucks. Thankfully I was able to get it at a discount for a little over $20. There's enough here for it to feel like it's worth around 20 to 30 bucks. As for the Plus stuff, I think it's worth the $10 they're asking for it. It may not greatly improve the collection as a whole, but having all the Game Gear games, plus Knuckles as a playable character in CD and Amy as a playable character everywhere is a nice touch. There are also new extras and it's just overall a good collection. I don't like the classic games as much as some other Sonic fans, but I do enjoy them time to time, especially 3 & Knuckles.
    But the thing that soured my taste for this game the day it came out physically (which was just a few days ago as of this review) is the fact that the Plus content STILL HAS TO BE DOWNLOADED! via a code. The reason why a majority of us who wanted the physical copy was to have the whole game in one cartridge (or disc on PlayStation and Xbox). We expected that because Mania Plus had everything, including the DLC and updates for the game, in the cartridge and disc. But Origins Plus only comes with basic Origins, not even including the updates in them. This was a very scummy thing for them to do, as now people who may wait to get the games used will only get basic unpatched Origins. I feel like I wasted my money, cause had I known they'd pull this, I would've just gotten the Plus DLC for $10 and saved myself $30. But otherwise, the collection is good. I still think this is a good way to play these games on modern systems, just get the games digitally unless you want the case for display and the art book.    … Expand

    Sonic Origins Plus is an enhanced version of the Sonic Origins collection, featuring 12 Game Gear Sonic titles. This comprehensive package appeals to fans of Sonic adventures and platforming games, offering an enjoyable experience with updated graphics and mechanics, but the lack of significant improvements compared to the previous release MAY be a drawback, it's the same and old Sonic we all know. Nevertheless, Sonic Origins Plus remains a must-have for Sonic enthusiasts, providing a convenient way to relive the classic Sonic games in one place.    … Expand

    I mean it's alright. I 100% all the games and I had a lot of fun. But this game has lots of glitches. And I'm all up for more content but seriously who the frick cares about gamegear titles being added. Fr let's get Knuckles Chaotix or smth decent.

    Even with my complaints, there’s no denying that what is present in Sonic Origins Plus is nonetheless worth the time of fans. These four Genesis platformers remain some of the best in the genre after all this time and have never looked better. The various extras in the museum are engrossing and the additions and tweaks that the Plus DLC provide only make the compilation better. Thus, I give Sonic Origins Plus a nod of recommendation, even as I find my teeth grinding as I think of all the wasted opportunity here. Oh, and expect to still download the Plus DLC even if you buy the cartridge version! Yet another oddity among many in this compilation.

    Is it worth the purchase? Well if you don’t have any Sonic games and either want to see what it’s all about, or relive past glories… then certainly grab a copy. If you bought last years Sonic Origins then just have a look at what the differences are and determine if Plus really adds enough for you to fork out for it. But it’s nice to be able to share some of my childhood with my children in a pretty decent modern remastered collection such as this.

    Sonic Origins Plus is the definitive edition of this compilation. It's a pretty nice way of celebrating the 30-ish years of Sonic's history
