Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection - PlayStation 3 (16 out of 17)
Old School Sega at its Finest

Posted by: from Shakopee, MN on 04/19/2013If you were into video games and had a Sega you'll love this game. It's just a repackaging of some of the more popular Sega games. I personally love the Sonic games as well as the Fantasy Star games (highly recommend Fantasy Star II to RPG fans). Some of the other games aren't as entertaining, but I'm sure that my be different for other people. For the cheap price it was worth the purchase.

Great compilation of classic Genesis games

Posted by: from California on 01/25/2011If you grew up in the 16-bit era, then you're going to love this classic compilation of games. The graphical emulation is solid although there are a few sound oddities. However, there's nothing to really detract from the nostalgia. The usual suspects are present in this collection such as all the Sonic games (no lock-on feature for Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles), the Phantasy Star series, etc. However, there are a few gems in this collection that haven't been available in other Sega collections including the Streets of Rage series, Shining series, etc. Overall, you can't go wrong with this collection if you grew up on these games or are looking to experience a piece of gaming history.

Posted by: from Clinton, MI on 11/15/2010This is a great compilation of what I consider to be some of the best games of all times. This might not appeal to more recent gamers, but for those of us who grew up with these specific titles can definitely appreciate this.

not up to par, and a complete disappointment
1
Posted by: from nokesville va on 05/15/2010this was a complete disappointment. the graphics are better on sega genesis (i should know i bought a nomad and genesis after words) the graphics are either too sharp or too soft even when i change the sharpness. the sound is all static (like in sonic 3 when bombs are dropped its all static.) the speakers on my TV as well as $1000+ acoustic research are now completely ruined(the cones blew out on a very low volume). i don't know if it was a faulty game or what. but i DO know i wont play this again.
