AceGamezAn absolute must have for people who liked them back then and if you never actually played them... well, I'll hold back. Just buy this collection.
-
There's something for everyone.
-
20 classic Sonic Team and Sega games perfectly emulated on the Xbox for $20; what's not to like?
-
Next Level GamingAhhh, the memories. Anyway, all in all a nice compilation to have, especially if you spend your days on Ebay trying to find these games.
-
Despite its exclusions, though, Collection's large selection of titles for $19.99 is a tough thing not to recommend to anyone who calls himself a gamer. Even if a few of the games undeniably suck.
-
The clever Comix Zone is a great bonus but the Game Gear titles are primitive and mere curiosities.
-
You can't find a better deal than 20 games for 20 dollars. While not every Sonic game is a winner, the majority are. These games, though old, are superior to Sega's more recent 3D Sonic offerings.
-
For 20 bucks, this is almost a must-have for the old-school Sega nut inside us all. [Holiday 2004, p.67]
-
While Sonic aficionados will be disappointed by the omission of a few notable titles, such as the superlative "Sonic CD," there's a ton of solid Robotnik-thwarting to be had with the Mega Collection Plus.
-
Game InformerIf you grew up with these games, they're still a joy to play. New converts t the Sonic fold will get a great introduction to the 'hog's history. [Dec 2004, p.168]
-
While not a definitive collection of Sonic memorabilia and games, it is damn close and definitely the best available on any console.
-
All the titles are direct emulations so the sense of nostalgia is amazing and old-school gamers will dig the inclusion of Game Gear titles, unlockable Genesis games, and a few extras.
-
Xbox Nation MagazineNone of the games runs in full-screen mode on Xbox, while the GameCube versions are identical to the 16-bit originals. [Jan 2005, p.98]
-
Some less "hardcore" players will find themselves frustrated to a fault, as Tails falls into a pit of spikes for the hundredth time, but if you can put up with the heartbreak, harking back to ten years ago can be great fun.
-
There's tons of bonus material on offer including comic covers and illustrations, and the option to save your game at any point is a godsend.
-
Great gameplay for a nostalgic rainy day, however the amount of extras and longetivity is missing.
-
Play MagazineIf you don't already have these excellent games, then Mega Collection Plus is an awesome investment. [Nov 2004, p.76]
-
TotalGames.netThe biggest problem we have with this game is the sad fact that a few of the games seem to suffer from occasional slowdown.
-
The games are just as you remember them, damn excellent, but the lack of bonus material and additional Sonic games severely hurts the overall package.
-
Pelaaja (Finland)It's quite hard to give a score to this collection. All the games are simply dated and don't offer anything to modern gamers. However, for the fans it's a trip down memory lane and the collection earns it's place in a collectors game collection. [May 2005, p.74]
