It's got a following - and it's worth seeing how its astonishing graphics push Sega's 16-bit to its very limit - but it doesn't hold up very well as an actual let's-sit-down-and-actually-play-this game. Both games are spoiled for me by loose controls that leave you flailing wildly and taking damage from the erratically-moving enemies that seem to swarm all over every inch of every platform. You can do anything! Well, mostly run around and jump a bit.īeside the Sonic titles, this collection also packs in Mega Drive action-platformer Vectorman and its 1996 sequel. Either way, it's a misunderstood masterpiece. To my ear, the Japanese music is much better and more fitting, but your mileage may vary. The version of the game presented in Sonic Gems Collection has the revised (read: totally different) US soundtrack, which is a bummer even though it's not a bad soundtrack by any reasonable metric. A much more cerebral take on the traditional left-to-right action, CD asks you to - shock, horror - slow down and think about your racing line, study the environment, search for prime spots to get your speed up in order to trigger the game's most significant gameplay addition - time travel. ![]() As I've espoused before, Sonic CD is a marvellous, intricate, thoughtful game. ![]() The best game in the package, then, is Sonic CD.

You pick one of eight Sonic series characters, and knock seven bells out of one another. Knuckles accidentally runs into a AAA shooter ha ha ha because they're dreary-lookingĪrcade conversion Sonic The Fighters is a total mess. The course designs are impressive and it's enjoyable to blast through, but not one you'll constantly see fit to revisit. Multiplayer offers next-to-zero value as you barely interact with your opponent and the character balancing is totally out of whack the secret characters are simply better than the defaults in every way. The Sega Saturn’s 3D racing game Sonic R is fun, for the hour and a half tops it'll take you to unlock everything and clear the game. Nice to have, but hardly "main event" material - and they didn't even include the Game Gear version of the original Sonic the Hedgehog!
