    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.

    None 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.

    If you don't already have these excellent games, then Mega Collection Plus is an awesome investment. [Nov 2004, p.76]

    The 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.

    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]

I only have one problem with the collection and it's unlocking the games, but it makes up for it by how the games are just super fun.… Full Review »
