Sonic Mega Collection Plus review:4 stars (Has its flaws but deffinitly worth it) - As a former Sonic the Hedgehog fanatic growing up on these games I went out first thing to get this for Xbox when I found out about it. Overall, I am not disappointed. I do have several, small complaints.

The first would be the hidden games. It was kind of annoying to have to sit there and open/close each game somewhere around 20 to 30 times each to unlock the hidden games. Now I don't really care for Ooze or Comix Zone, and I don't even think Ristar should be included as its a Sonic collection, and many Sonic games were omitted from this collection in favor of these other Sega games. However, it was frustrating to have to unlock Sonic 3 & knuckles, which is basically the only way to play sonic 3 OR sonic and knuckles (at least ever since they've both been out.)

The other main problem I have with it, which I've already touched on a bit, is that some of the sonic games are missing. Now I'll admit that I'm a little bit of a completionist, but even then, would it have hurt to add Sonic CD, Sonic Triple Trouble, or even some of the offshoot games with Sonic characters like Knuckles Chaotix, etc. I mean honestly, don't tell me there wasn't space for the extra games when they can manage to fit a monument to video gaming like Halo on a single disc.

Sonic CD and Triple Trouble especially would be important since they introduce important characters that have been used in games and the comics since. Amy has been used extensively in more recent sonic adventure and sonic advance games and mecha sonic was an important character in the comics. Nack didn't get a lot of development as a character but it could have been a great start, and even though it wasn't, Triple Trouble was still probably the least shallow game gear sonic game, as well as the most playable. From what I've seen, Sega has also started re-using the characters from Chaotix. These are all solid Sonic games that should have been included, instead of two versions of spinball/mean bean machine, etc. Also, on a final note, Sonic Drift was a piece of crap. However, Sonic Drift 2 made a lot of improvements on the idea. I haven't the slightest idea why they included the first one instead of the second one

Overall, I was glad to add this game to my collection. Don't let my criticisms deter you from buying it because it's a good purchase (and for so little money I feel like I'm practically STEALING.) It's just that as a huge Sonic the Hedgehog fanatic growing up, I feel Sega could have gone the whole way with very little to no extra effort. Maybe I have a sonic mega collection plus 2 to look forward to on a future system.4 stars (How can you not love this?) - Its great to see this out on all of the major consoles, I fell bad for the Game Cube owners that don't get to play the Game Gear games that are on the Xbox and PS2 versions. If you grew up in "Nintendo" generation like I did this a definite must have, if only to take you back to simpler times when systems only had a d-pad and 2 or 3 buttons, and we couldn't save our games. You little kids don't have any idea how good you have it with your built in hard drives, memory cards and photo realistic graphics. This has all the great Sonic games you remember from the past and some of the not so good ones too. Really only Sonic 3d Blast, it was definitely a cool idea in its day, but I dare you to play that game and not get an upset stomach. The controls are well adapted to the Xbox; you can use the analog stick, although it just doesn't fell right if you played these on the Genesis. The graphics and sound are just as you will remember and the ability to save your progress makes it worth every penny. All said and done this is a must have for any one who has been playing video games for the past decade or more, and might even be enough to keep the younger ones entertained for a while.5 stars (This game is great!) - If you loved the old soinc games you will love this! The older sonic games are better than the the newer ones like sonic heros!
