    Essential for any Sonic Fan

    You ain’t a true Sonic fan if you don’t grab this gem for your collection. This game is simply one of the most loving odes to the Sonic The Hedgehog franchise. It’s almost like a tear came to my eye when I saw how it seemed that the developers put so much love into it. I ordered this for the Nintendo Switch and when the Best Buy Associate brought it out to my car curbside, I had to ask him if he made a mistake, because the game case looked much larger as if for Xbox or PlayStation. It turned out that Sega included a special concept art book with the game and the traditional Nintendo switch cartridge case was enveloped in an additional cardboard case with artwork of its own; this was really just marvelous imo cuz they didn’t have to do that. I was a bit disappointed when I read the comments about all content not included in the cartridge, as others state in recent reviews, but it’s not like you download a completely separate application and have to access the content through a different icon on the switch home, the dlc is downloaded from shop and it’s almost as if the cartridge itself is being updated. For me it’s no biggie and the download was incredibly fast and space efficient. Of course, I could not have asked for a better retailer from which to buy this game. Best Buy never disappoints with their amazing deals, and I got this truly wonderful collection of over 16 games for an incredible price. It was almost like a dream come true.

    Great ports of all the classic sonic games, if there were any version of these games that I would recommend, it would be this one, everything remade with amazing physics and gameplay. Must have if you're a classic sonic fan.

    The game came with an artbook and a code for DLC. I really enjoy it. It has two modes where you could play in the original quality or HD quality. I've been looking for a good Sonic game for my Switch and this is it.

    If you are a fan of the classic Sonic games on Sega, this is the collection for you. The game is basically Sonic Origins, but the inside of the case comes with a code to unlock the full experience of playing as Amy, or any of the original Sonic characters, including Tails and Knuckles. I think this game is a must for any Sonic fan, but I suggest anniversary mode, where you have unlimited lives. It also comes with a book that shows the art of Sonic over the years, which is like a collector’s item. It is a 10/10 for me, and a very great game!

    Despite a small complaint still a good collection.

    Overall it's a great callback to a early time in my gaming years and definitely brings the memories and enjoyment of playing these games. The one annoyance I have is that for whatever reason Sega didn't put everything on the cartridge even though it was easily possible to do so. Meaning that while Sonic 1,2,3 and CD are on the cartridge the game gear games and Amy DLC are not and have to be downloaded can I ask why?It feels a little cheap of Sega for doing this and while not a deal breaker it still is more then a little annoying. Still at the end of that complaint the collection overall is still a very good one and for the price pretty reasonable. So regardless if you grew up with the iconic blue hedgehog and his friends or are new gamers to this series the entertainment value is here and with a decent amount of games for you to enjoy.

    It has a fair share of classics and some unique ones such as Tails Adventures that I personally enjoyed. A few add-ons and playable character (Amy). It's an all-around great collection minus a few things. The little art book is interesting to see the concepts of the characters. If you want the whole thing physically, it comes with a digital code inside that was released recently.

    This brought back some childhood memories from growing up doing what nintendont. Blast processing at its finest, all the way to the bottom of all the pits in all the sonic games. Come to think of such blast processing (if that's even a real thing) was kinda pointless in sonic games considering they are platformers with enemies everywhere. Either way about the game. Will say its an awesome compilation and comes with a booklet that was pretty nice to look through. The only downside is that only the main sonic games were on the cartridge. The 12 or so game gear games were all free downloads. Not sure why this had to be the way. you could probably put every game gear game ever made onto a 100mb cartridge without issue but it is what it is. There was also a slight change to at least sonic and knuckles (the only one i played from start to complete). The change was there were no lives. If you collected a 1up it gave you a star and this was used in the emerald section. This kind of took the challenge away a bit. Not a deal breaker but kinda wish it was more standard. Will also say maybe there is something in the settings to change it back to original but didn't look to hard. All in all i recommend if you are a fan of the series or even just wanted to relive some of your childhood.

    A great compilation of classics, this game has 4 16 bit classics revamped and ready to play in the modern era. With no noticeable lag from emulation, all the Sonic games feel snappy and responsive. On top of that, the special stages have been touched up and as a classic Sonic fan, I approve. With Plus, they added a code to play as Amy Rose as well. Her character is different and fun as she uses a hammer in her double jump.
