    Although it was nice to have brought back a classic series to modern day consoles. I was very disappointed in the little changes it had brought to the consoles. It looks like more of a Port rather than a Remaster. It is still the same games I played and already owned. For the $45 Price tag for Digital Deluxe package.

    Grew up playing the trilogy + Knuckles. I like the whole bundle. Wide screen + being able to play other characters in other games is neat. Also the jump + hold jump to spin dash when hitting the ground is back (from Mania).

    Museum is alight. Kind of wish they included the other master system versions of the games when unlocking stuff. There's a few bugs here and there, but it's all

    Museum is alight. Kind of wish they included the other master system versions of the games when unlocking stuff.

    There's a few bugs here and there, but it's all stuff that was in the originals. A bit lazy from the devs if you ask me but it's not a big deal.

    The whole Michael Jackson drama with stage 4-5-6 from Sonic 3 where the songs had to be rewritten is so disappointing. I know they used the beta version of the tunes but really? Couldn't they have used like a remix or do any better than the picked replacement tracks? They sound super generic unlike the rest of the tracks (stage 1-2-3 and S&K)...

    Overall, pretty decent HD package. Does leave a little to be desired but I'm really enjoying it.

    Going into this game, I was a bit scared that it was going to be bad. SEGA have a bad history with Sonic remakes and just Sonic in-general recently. Forces was a boring and short game, Colors Ultimate was horrible, and Frontiers looks boring, but you know what? This was a breath of fresh air. More proof that they should prioritize more 2D Sonic games, it's clearly their strong suit. ThisGoing into this game, I was a bit scared that it was going to be bad.

This was a breath of fresh air. More proof that they should prioritize more 2D Sonic games, it's clearly their strong suit. This game pretty much features Sonic 1, Sonic CD, Sonic 2, and Sonic 3 & Knuckles all in one game. You can either play them in the original state with borders or in widescreen, remastered. I really love how they fixed the games, adjusting the piss-poor and hard difficulty the originals had by giving you infinite lives. There's also Coins now, you get them a lot and you can use them to retry special stages (god bless that), or use them to unlock stuff in the Museum. There's also a Boss Rush option and even a Mirror Mode once you beat the game. You can play the games separately or in a complete Story Mode. You can tell some thought was put into this unlike most remakes. The games themselves are good, though they can be VERY frustrating at times, even with the lighter difficulty. The soundtrack isn't exactly remade, but it's still a Sonic Soundtrack so it doesn't miss. I also don't think this game fits its price at all, even if it is 40 dollars. I paid 45 for the Deluxe Edition and there wasn't much to be honest, it literally felt the same as the Standard Edition. It should be reduced by 10-20 and that'll definitely be a fair price. Still a solid game if you're a fan of Classic Sonic and you want something new and good from SEGA. Expand

    Este juego lo jugamos en vivo y estuvo muy entretenido, se nota que los juegos de sonic envejecieron muy bien y es muy entretenido jugarlo, me gusto mucho este re compilatorio por que mejoraron mejoraron visualmente estos juegos y ahora en HD se ve hermoso, me gusto mucho el reemplazo de las vidas en monedas por que lo hace mas desafiantes cuando tratamos de buscar las esmeralda caosEste juego lo jugamos en vivo y estuvo muy entretenido, se nota que los juegos de sonic envejecieron muy bien y es muy entretenido jugarlo, me gusto mucho este re compilatorio por que mejoraron mejoraron visualmente estos juegos y ahora en HD se ve hermoso, me gusto mucho el reemplazo de las vidas en monedas por que lo hace mas desafiantes cuando tratamos de buscar las esmeralda caos encontramos genial las cinemáticas del juego, muy recomendo si vas a empezar a jugar sonic por primera vez mi única queja seria que faltaron otros juegos como el pimball el chaotix y el 3D blast

    ojala que pronto sega haga un compilado de los adventures o los juegos 3D

    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.
