Sonic Gems Collection (PS2)

...where I was missing some Sonic games, and on that note it didn't disappoint. But on the gameplay aspect of these missing games, I may as well have not bothered. Sonic Drift 2 (2?! where's 1?) is a pretty difficult racing game, probably Segas answer to Mario Kart. Its a Game Gear port, so graphics aren't spectacular, but due to the speed of the game and the sensitivity of the buttons its really quite difficult to stay on the course track. You'd have ...
...Sonic Spinball. The Game Gear version. For those who don't know, Sonic Spinball is a pinball-style game, where you play sonic as he bounces his way to finding the chaos emeralds and defeating Dr Robotnik. On the Mega Drive, this game performs quite well as a smooth running adventure, albeit a little hard. On this Game Gear version, you might as well not bother. In my opinion, using a FAR lower quality version of a game for this compilation is completely ...

Review of Sonic Gems Collection (PS2)

...it into the infinitely superior Sonic mega collection. The Sonic team floor sweepings bound for the bin, served up as 'gems'. A mis-labelling of epic proportions. I'm angry because I bought it. Review Well I suppose we can start with a look at the line-up: * Sonic CD (Sega CD) * Sonic the Fighters (Arcade) * Sonic R (Sega Saturn) Game gear * Sonic the Hedgehog 2 * Sonic Spinball * Sonic Triple Trouble * Sonic Drift 2 * Tails' Skypatrol * Tails Adventure ...
...your big old television. Sonic R is an ancient unplayable racer with no conceivable enjoyment to it whatsoever. Sonic Fighters is awful. Of course its awful. Any fool could see that its awful. A fighting game with the Sonic characters? Hey that might be fun! No, no it isn't. Its awful. The ace in the pack is Sonic cd, seemingly a proper Sonic game, seemingly the one potentially playable part of this package. Now the question is; did those who couldn't ...

Review of Sonic Gems Collection (PS2)

Sonic Gems brings a bit of nosteglia to the Sonic fans out there. There are 9 games you can play from a number of old SEGA consoles and theres even an arcade classic thrown in. The 9 games are: Sonic the Hedgehog CD Sonic the Fighters (Arcade) Sonic R (Sega Saturn) The collection also includes six Game Gear games: Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Sonic Spinball Sonic Triple Trouble Sonic Drift 2 Tails' Skypatrol Tails Adventure Personally I enjoyed ...
...bought this game only for Sonic the Fighters as I played it in an arcade and loved it at the time. I also never owned a Game Gear and other Sega consoles like the Sega Saturn so this was like playing new games. There are some other games and bonus features to unlock however I was disappointed to find out SEGA left out the Streets of Rage series of games - a favorite of mine in my younger gamer life. I wouldnt recommend this to many people, even ...

Review of Sonic Gems Collection (PS2)

hi, bought this for my son and what I liked about it was that it takes a fair amount of time to complete this. also there is no cheats available for this that I know of. it is good value for money as it is a collection of games and each of them has it's own level of difficulty.this game collection can be bought for as little as 99p second hand on ebay to about £15 brand new on ebay. It was over £20 when I bought it , and was money well spent. . Too ...
...when they do there seems to be a lot of cheat codes going about to make the game easy to complete, is this not defeating the whole point of the game, maybe I am just an old fuddy-duddy that believes that if something is worth doing , you do your best and use your brain to solve the problems. ...
