If you really love Sonic, then there are other games better than this. It's full of old games with very poor graphics and sound. This game collection of Sonic is not that fun. I bought this game for my kids and they don't enjoy it very much (they almost never play with it). Don't lose money and time with this game.
But it lacks the Sega CD version in all it's QSound glory To be completely honest, the Sega CD disc had mezmerizing crystal clear hi fi sound, it was total ear candy. I'm sure some other people know what I'm talking about but when I play the sonic gems version, part of my brain just says man, I wish the sound was the same. It goes without saying that more than half of the people buying this game are buying it for Sonic CD alone.
Every level has 3 different versions, past future present etc, excellent music and graphics, awesome special stage etc. A good difference is the opening animation for the gamecube version is so much better quality that it makes you really see how bad the Sega CD's full motion video really was. Not a bad thing at all, I'm just saying from experience, the rest of the games on this disc are really not worth playing, so I'm just reviewing their treatment of Sonic CDIt's the opinion of many ( including me ) that Sonic CD is the greatest Sonic game ever made. The music a little bit but mainly the sound effects are very very VERY noticably lower quality when compared to the Sega CD version and it honestly does effect the value of the game. It doesn't seem like they did a very good job with the transfer, sonic's jumps, springs, and ring collecting sounds are so choppy almost as if someone recorded them with a hand held tape recorder or something.
The only downfall is the SOUND. It's so beautifully improved. But unfortunately this Gamecube disc version has some differences both good and bad from the Sega CD version. All of the graphics are somewhat improved too and/or just as good as the Sega CD version. In all honesty, the game is still enjoyable, the 50 billion different colors, the insane graphics, the opening and ending animations.
This is not as good as mega collection but still good.Sonic cd is good but not as good as sonic 1&2.Cause it is way to easy.I made it to the last level without even trying.Anyway the best game on the disc is sonic the fighters.
Truth be told - my husband also sits there and plays the game. I purchased this for my 6 year old nephew and he loves it. A popular game. The 9 year old plays with it as well. Very comparable to a game for the full systems.
The reason i got this game was for Sonic CD. It plays flawlessly on my Wii and in 480p if you have component cables.The gems collection contains Sonic R, A sonic fighting game (which is extremely fun and addicting, and surprisingly deep)and a couple others.I would recommend this collection to any fans of the blue blur we all know and love. unfortunately i lost it and was overjoyed to hear it was remade for the gamecube. Without a doubt my favorite sonic game excluding the perfection that is Sonic and Knuckles 3. I used to play this game back on the PC when i used to have it. Relive the glory days of sonic in 2D.
