Sonic Gems Collection (PS2)

I bought this game mainly to fill the hole 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.

You'd have to have a lot of patience to complete this game. Sonic Spinball. The Game Gear version. For those who ... more

Overview A sorry scatter of piss-poor games not good enough to make it into the infinitely superior Sonic mega collection. The Sonic team floor sweepings bound for the bin, served up as 'gems'.

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.
