    Great collection and animated cutscenes. Couldn't tell which version of CD they used. Was disappointed that all but one of the unlockable songs are from sonic generations

    Feels like a cheap cash Grab, no love put into this, had better Collections in the past with these games included and many more. The Games are worse versions of previous Versions then the originals. Sega added paid locked content for a simple collection of four Sonic Games. Took the games by themselves off digital storefronts to force people to buy this whole have no other means.

ORIGINS IS Garbage. Also they took Christian Whitehead's versions of the games, destroyed them, took away features, made the games buggy and trash and took his names out of the credits which at this point it's probably better but they used his work without credit.… Expand

    It’s a bit shame that they don’t even have ice cap music with Michael Jackson who wrote for Sonic 3.

    Hopelessly broken and overpriced rubbish. Just another lazy SEGA cash grab.

    It is a great classic game and all, but asking 40 for it is just a bit too much. There is literally nothing here to justify this price.

    This game got me extremely hyped mostly because Sonic 3 & Knuckles was getting its first port in a while, but it turned out to be a crappy unfinished mess.

    A conflicting compilation of Sonic games that does plenty right in remastering some of the blue hedgehog's classic Mega Drive hits, but lets everyone down with unnecessary money-grabbing DLC, while not offering anywhere near the amount of content that really should be here in terms of the Sonic series' vast history. Still with bugs to fix, time will tell if Sonic Origins becomes a respectable overall package, but it will suffice for the more casual fan after a bigger price drop.

    A mix of all we love of Sonic but not so inspired. It takes the classic style of the hedgehog and bring some upgrades to the gameplay. Fans will love Sonic Origins, but maybe they would want more content.

    Sonic Origins is a compilation that allows us to recall the origins of the blue hedgehog with interesting new content. However, nostalgia may not be enough to convince some players. Even so, it is still a highly recommended title.
