    Excellent collection. The acheivements are probably too easy to get (with 1 exception) and the (optional) smoothing filter can make games look worse and the text hard to read.

    Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection is a great example of how retro game collection's should be put together. It has a wide variety of games from the Sega Genesis as well as the Sega Master System and arcades. With a price tag of 30 and nearly 50 games total (including the original 3 Shining titles, Golden Axe I-III (as well as the Zelda-esque Golden Axe Warrior), the original Sonic games, and Phantasy Star I-IV), Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection is an incredible bargain that is nearly impossible to pass up.… Expand

    All four original Sonic games, all three Streets of Rage, all three original Golden Axe's, Shinobi 3 and more....enough said. Truly an awesome collection on true classics that helped shape present video games.

    All in all, Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection is an extremely solid assemblage of some of the Genesis' greatest hits, and with extras and achievements, hidden interviews and an entire museum of concept art thrown in for good measure, it's definitely worth a look from old school gamers looking to re-live the glory days when a hedgehog didn't need a lame Werehog gimmick to prove that he was the baddest mascot around.

    While every game isn't a winner, Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection is the best you can do, outside of Japan anyway. At least until the next, even more Ultimate Collection.

    Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection is a slick package, a lot of unlockables, and 49 games; it can all be yours for $30. That's a steal, and I can't recommend picking this one up enough.
