 Review - Sonic Mega Collection Plus // PlayStation 2 /// Eurogamer
Although, here's something: if you do fancy buying SMC Plus and you already own Sonic Heroes, it might be an idea to buy it for the same system, as the presence of Heroes save data apparently unlocks a couple of the games straight away.
It doesn't have the loved/hated Sonic CD, which is the only one you probably don't already own (except for Sonic Drift Into A Coma), and otherwise these are pixel-perfect ports, right down to the slowdown, and are no replacement for the real thing.
Anybody who remembers Sonic's 16-bit outings the way we do will love playing through them again and watching the series progress from its radically inventive beginnings through to the blisteringly speedy latter stages, picking up chargeable spin dash moves and layers and layers of graphical detail on the way.

 GameSpy: Sonic Mega Collection Plus Review
Sega's excellent GameCube collection of Sonic games makes its way to PS2, but it's still missing a few things, too.
All kidding aside, it's hard not to call Sonic Mega Collection Plus -- nicely priced at $19.99 -- a must-own for all Sonic fans, as it offers them a near-comprehensive look at Sega's mascot in his prime.
Blast is Traveller's Tales valiant yet decidedly fun-free attempt to bring Sonic into an isometric environment, while Sonic Spinball serves more as a straight-up attempt by Sega to milk a successful franchise by placing the character into a pinball game.

Having been a sonic life since its first appearance on the mega drive in 1991, you will probably expect this to be a biased account.
All sonic games follow the same formulae, in the first game, all Sonic could do was jump in order to open boxes and kill enemies.
Where Sonic excelled over Mario was in the epic scale of the games; Sonic and Knuckles was unbelievable, with a semblance of a story (!) that paved the way for Sonic Adventure and the like, culminating in his transformation into Super Sonic and blasting through an asteroid field.

Although the argument has become practically null and void in recent times thanks to the rise of swathes of other platform stars such as Jak and Crash Bandicoot, the original platform heroes have never been forgotten, especially Sonic who now has his own anthology (a Mega Collection Plus, no less) to boast.
