GameOn writes: "Some Classics never get old and Sonic is one of them. It doesn't matter how many games get released, the original Sonic will always have a special place in my heart. The graphics don't look dated, the game play is still immense and it never gets old. But I will step away from my fan boy view of Sonic long enough to see if the latest release on the DS is worth the money or not. With this game you get to have all of the original Sonic games on one portable cartridge."
Carl Williams writes, "It is unclear what was going through the minds of the executives at Sega when they got the designs for Sonic the Hedgehog but it is clear that gamers loved him. Sonic proved that gamers were tired of slow games and they wanted speed- not just in racing games but in action games too. By the time Sega got to the third Sonic game, the whole speed and nothing but speed was getting a little thin with fans. Sega had to change things up a bit and so they did to great fanfare of fans across the world."
Sega's generosity extends a lot by giving up some of their games again and that includes the two popular retro Sonic games (by which I claimed it to be popular because of the gameplay) on which is the Sonic Blast and Sonic Labyrinth. How was that for all of the 3DS gamers?
While the contents are excellent choices for any Sonic aficionado, a lack of content and poor presentation values make this collection of Sonic titles fall short of expectations, even despite being a decent compilation. Sonic Classic Collection on the Nintendo DS can be summed up in two words: wasted potential.
