Sonic Mega Collection Plus is perhaps one of the best compilations you could ask for. At a mere $20, gamers can enjoy 20 classic games. The majority of these games features Sega's icon, Sonic, though a few other Genesis gems are included to round out the deal. The youthful blue hedgehog was once more recognizable than Mickey Mouse (that's no lie) and though Sonic isn't quite as hip these days, he's still one of video game's most significant icons. This isn't a collection of mediocre old school games, this is a collection of every pre-Saturn sonic title. That's a heavy load of goodness any fan should be excited about.

Check out the complete offerings of Mega Collection Plus:

•Sonic The Hedgehog (Sega Genesis)
•Sonic The Hedgehog 2 (Sega Genesis)
•Sonic The Hedgehog 3 (Sega Genesis)
•Sonic & Knuckles (Sega Genesis)
•Sonic 3D Blast (Sega Genesis, Saturn)
•Sonic The Hedgehog Spinball (Sega Genesis)
•Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine (Sega Genesis)
•Sonic & Knuckles lock-on: Sonic The Hedgehog 2
•Sonic & Knuckles lock-on: Sonic The Hedgehog 3
•Sonic & Knuckles lock-on: Blue Spheres
•The Ooze (Sega Genesis)
•Comix Zone (Sega Genesis)
•Flicky (Sega Genesis)
•Ristar (Sega Genesis)
•Sonic the Hedgehog (Game Gear)
•Sonic Chaos (Game Gear)
•Sonic Drift (Game Gear)
•Sonic Labyrinth (Game Gear)
•Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine (Game Gear)
•Sonic Blast (Game Gear)

Each game is a perfect emulation of the original. There's no new content outside of some cool art galleries, but the games themselves remain pure. Sonic has always been a favorite of mine and playing the original Genesis games took me back to a time of acne and awkwardness -- but in a good way.
Sonic the Hedgehog is different than Mario for a number of reasons. Sonic has momentum. He starts at a walking pace and has to work his way up to full speed. One going, he can't just stop on a dime. For a 2D character, he feels somewhat real and the physics of Sonic make for some truly unique games. No one has every made games like this since, not even Sega.

Internet Reviews:

You can't find a better deal than 20 games for 20 dollars. While not every Sonic game is a winner, the majority are. These games, though old, are superior to Sega's more recent 3D Sonic offerings. Nothing has changed (though, for some reason, you can save your progress mid-game on Xbox), but that's okay. Sonic Mega Collection Plus offers gamers a chance to step back in time to look at games when they were a little simpler and in some ways a little better. I'm not a fan of the ugly border put around the screen, but otherwise there's nothing that should keep a Sonic fan from snagging this one up.
