Topic: Sonic Compilation


  
  Sonic Mega Collection Plus xbox review. Sonic Mega Collection Plus is Developed by SEGA and published in the UK by SEGA
Graphically you can’t expect much here as it’s a compilation game and is only showing off the finesse of the original games when they came out, although playing a Game Gear game meant for a 6 inch screen on a 14 inch screen or bigger just wasn’t meant to be.
Being a compilation there is a good amount of longetivity, but only if you’re willing to play every game inside out and back to front.
Sonic Mega Collection Plus isn’t bad at all really, all the original Sonic games that are good along with a few you might not have heard of before.

  Sonic Gems Collection (cube: 2005): Reviews
Sonic CD is fine game, however, and Sonic R and Sonic the Fighters are worth checking out at the very least.
Sonic CD is a title worth purchasing on pure merit, and whatever their standard, the sheer number of games on the disc make Gems an economical acquisition.
Sonic cd is very good, and I give praise to Sonic R surprisingly, but the rest of the games are oddly bland, and only one or two playthroughs will fill your needs.

 Sonic the Hedgehog 2
Sonic ignores him and zooms off, but the fox whirls his two tails like a propeller and follows the blue stranger at full speed.
Sonic is impressed both with the fox's tenacity and his ability to keep up, so he decides to let him tag along.
As with Sonic 1, each busted bot is worth 100 points, but the score multiplies with each enemy destroyed in a single spin: 200 for two, 500 for three, and 1,000 points for each one thereafter.

 Sonic the Hedgehog
Sonic's arsenal of acrobatics is small, but extremely intuitive and versatile, designed to take advantage of the massive stages and rich level structure.
Sonic was painted on the sides of the tour trailer and pamphlets advertising the game were handed out to concert-goers, offering a glimpse of the game even before media coverage.
Sonic was conceived as a global mascot, and key players on the US side felt that the character lacked the appeal needed to achieve success in the Western market.

 GameSpy: Sonic Mega Collection Review
Compilation titles are interesting creatures in that they don't take much time to develop -- the games have already been made and the only design work entailed in their production involves bonus features and extras -- and base their salability exclusively on nostalgia and name recognition.
As it stands, SMC gives you the cover art to the Sonic comic books, a few illustrations of some Sonic characters, and five movies (only one of which, in my opinion, was worth a darn, and that was History of Sonic).
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 was big news back in its time, and introduced a lot of new gameplay features to the mix, not to mention the ability to save your game -- a first for a cartridge Sonic.

 Sonic Adventure - GameCritics.com
You talk about a game with size, the latest entry in the Sonic saga is filled to the brim with fully-spoken dialogue; detailed, impressively animated and expressive characters; massive, colorful (and fast-moving) 3D environments; up-tempo, original pop music (complete with vocals); adventure scenarios; action scenarios; mini-games; a complete, integrated A-life game; and a VMU adventure.
There's one scene at the beginning where Sonic is running on this flimsy dock, when he's suddenly chased by a giant killer whale (for those of you interested, this scene was stolen from Panzer Dragoon II Zwei).
Equally distracting was the fact that Sonic and his five friends are the only talking animal characters in the game.

 Sonic Gems Collection Review
Sonic CD offered up a bevy of gameplay enhancements that were engineered to furnish gamers with the finest gaming experience imaginable.
Sonic CD also gave gamers a chance to play a Sonic game without having to deal with Tails, who was introduced in Sonic 2.
Sonic Spinball is easily the worst of the Game Gear games, though the two Tails' games also lend themselves to harsh criticism based on poor level designs and horrible game mechanics.

 E3 2005: Sonic Gems Collection Hands-On - GameCube News at GameSpot
Though the final compilation is slated to feature a mix of titles, including the fan favorite Sonic CD, cult hit Sonic R, arcade oddity Sonic the Fighters, six Game Gear Games, and some surprise titles, the demo on display at Sega's booth was limited to just two titles, Sonic CD and Sonic the Fighters.
Sonic CD, the fan favorite adventure for the Sega CD peripheral, which sent the speedy hedgehog on a wicked platform adventure spanning the past and present, was our first stop.
The refreshed graphics in Sonic the Fighters is welcome, and the sheer number of titles to choose from is good for a compilation.

 News - New Sonic PSP and Cube compilation? // None /// Eurogamer
Sonic's passage to PSP seems likely at some point - he's on his way to the rival Nintendo DS after all - but for now all we have to go on is a GameStop product page listing a "Sonic" title for PSP under the category "Action, Adventure, Racing".
Mentioned in a US magazine this month, the report suggests that the compilation will appear on GameCube exclusively and that Sonic CD will be in there, as will Sonic the Fighters, a much lesser known arcade game in which Sonic and co. duke it out.
The last Sonic compilation, known as Sonic Mega Collection, debuted on Cube but was then revamped - and topped the UK charts - on PS2 and Xbox with a few more bonuses thrown in and a "Plus" label.

 IGN: Sonic Gems Collection Preview
Sonic Gems Collection, which features a compilation of sought after Sonic classics spanning Sega CD all the way to Game Gear, is headed directly toward Nintendo's current-generation system -- and yes, it's coming exclusively.
The answer is yes, of course, and it boasted a number of Sonic classics throughout the ages.
Sonic Gems Collection brings to the table several major Hedgehog-based titles, most of them pretty fun for different reasons and also incredibly hard to find on the market.

 Review :: Sonic Gems Collection - Gamecube
Sonic Gems Collection was released almost as an afterthought to Sonic Mega Collection.
Sonic CD was released just after the first Sonic game came out on the Mega Drive.
Sonic the Fighters gets a chance on the home consoles for the first time, and Sonic R appears on the current generation.

 IGN: Reader Review of: Sonic Mega Collection Plus
• Knuckles the Echidna in Sonic the Hedgehog 2
Needless to say, die-hard Sonic fans who have gotten rid of their Sonic and Knuckles cartridges will be glad to play these games.
Sonic 3D is an interesting attempt to try shake up the formula of Sonic, and the much underrated Comix Zone is just as interesting to play as it was back in ’95.

 Prime Time (Soundtrack Compilation) from Sonic Images
Sonic Images, continues to produce high quality CD releases regarding sound, production, and packaging.
The music contained within this compilation is decidedly more edgy than many purist film music fans are going to embrace.
This is, to be fair, more of a sampler than a decently selected compilation.

 Sonic Jam Sega Saturn/Game.com
Sonic Jam, unfortunately for most Saturn owners at the time, was not the brand new Sonic game that everybody had hoped for.
You may be thinking, 'what's the point?' well, much is Sega's trait, they don't just leave it as a pointless compilation of Sonic games, although this is what most Saturn owners had pined for their old Sonic games back again, they'd rather have a disk that had an extra incentive to actually be worth buying.
The Hall of Fame is basically a history timeline from when Sonic was first unleashed into the world, until the 'present day' (the time the CD was made).

 Kikizo Games: Review: Sonic Gems Collection
While the graphics of Sonic CD look a little dated by today's standards, the visuals, for the most part, are colorful and maintain the look of previous 2D Sonic games with swift and almost non-existent load times compared to the Mega-CD version.
Developed by Traveller's Tales, Sonic R is a character-based racing spin-off of the Sonic series that has characters competing in a number 'of foot' races.
Taking control of Sonic and friends, as well as enemies, players have to quickly make their way through each of the courses, racing down winding pathways, and taking shortcuts to the finish line.

 Sonic Gems Collection (GC) Reviews on Darkstation
The other game is Sonic R, which is a racing rendition of the Sonic series and this can be fun at times but you can see this game needs a whole lot more work in order for it to really be a worthwhile game to play through.
Sonic Gems Collection is really an odd group of Sonic games that I think really was an interesting selection of games that was a good idea but some of the execution wasn't spot on.
Sonic Gems Collection for the Gamecube has a select group of people in mind and those people are the die hard Sonic fans that are still depressed that Sega has chosen to concentrate on softwares instead of hardware.

 Games - Sonic Jam
Sonic Jam was the first major compilation of Sonic games, but also has many other features such as the 'Sonic World', a 3D area where you can run around as Sonic and enter various museums of Sonic paraphernalia.
Knuckles the Echidna in Sonic the Hedgehog 2
The Movie Theatre has several of the sublime Japanese Sonic adverts (if the phrase 'Funky Action!' means anything to you, you'll know what I mean), the Sonic CD intro and ending, a trailer for the two episode long Sonic anime and some CGs.

Sonic & Sally- Robotnik attempts to infiltrate the Freedom Fighters with a robotic Princess Sally; an outstanding episode due to its action and its heart.
Sonic Racer- Robotnik holds a speed contest as a means of trapping Sonic; another simple episode that is still highly enjoyable due to its action-oriented nature.
Sonic & the Secret Scrolls- The Freedom Fighters seek out the scrolls of the title; a fun escapist episode that nonetheless brings up plot points that were later abandoned over the course of the series.

 Sonic The Hedgehog Xtreme
Unlike in regular Sonic games, the rings in Sonic Chaos are used to activate special moves which are needed in order to defeat enemies and bosses.
The graphics are crisp and clear, and also taking into account the well-arranged sound effects along with the smooth animations, this Sonic clone prevails against most Sonic variations.
This is a great game where you are 1 of 8 characters (from Mario to Sonic) and you walk around this world collecting coins and earning stars from loads of mini games such as breakout little racing games and many more.

 Streets Of Rage Omitted From Sonic Gems // News
Sonic Gems Collection is a compendium of the best-kept secrets in Sonic's gaming history.
Included in the compilation are three rare titles that until now have only been available on Arcade, Sega Saturn or Mega CD, as well as six of your favourite Game Gear titles and some additional surprises to uncover along the way.
Reports had suggested that the decision to drop Streets of Rage from the Western line-up was down to the violent nature of the game and would increase the age rating of the collection.

 Sonic Gems Collection GC Review Index, Sonic Gems Collection Gamecube Reviews   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
Fans have been clamoring for a port of Sonic CD since, oh, Sonic Jam on Saturn nearly a decade ago, so it's great that Sega's programmers have finally managed to whip up a decent emulator in order to bring Sonic's single most intricate and imaginative 2D platformer to a new audience.
Sonic R has a hint of quality about it, but the rough graphics and incredibly clumsy steering controls (Sonic needs to wear a sign on his ass that reads CAUTION: WIDE TURNS) make a poor match for the open, free-form stages.
And to make matters worse, the better Sonic GG titles already appeared on last year's collection, meaning the likes of Tails Sky Patrol and Tails Adventure are scraping the bottom of the barrel.

 Sonic Mega Collection (cube: 2002): Reviews
If you're fiending for Sonic the Hedgehog and either don't have or are unwilling to drag out a dusty Genesis from the closet, don't hesitate to give it a shot.
If you own a Sega Genesis and only Sonic games, it may be time to trade them all in and buy this single disc; you will save space and come back with even more then what you left with.
I can't wait for Sonic Adventure DX to come out, even tough i have Sonic Adventure for my Dreamcast, i will probably still get i, and Sonic Advance 2, cause i have every Sonic game there ever has been.

Following up Sonic Adventure 2 with this great compilation, and thus introducing the latest batch of Sonic fans on the GameCube to the blue hedgehog's true roots, is a brilliant move on Sega's part.
While there are a couple stinkers in the group—namely Sonic 3D Blast and Sonic Spinball—generally speaking, these are some of the best games Sega's Genesis console ever had to offer.
I mean, when they brought out a Sonic compilation on the Saturn years ago, it was overflowing with cool extras.
