Excellent Sonic game collection.

The Good
Sonic Gems Collection features some of the good Sonic the Hedgehog games, but the main features of the collection is Sonic the Fighters, which it's the first time it can be played at home consoles, Sonic Cd and Sonic R. Sonic the Fighters is a fighting game featuring the characters of the Sonic universe and some new, created only for this game, such as Bark the Polebear and Fang the Sniper. It is very fun to play and the graphics are Virtua Fighter style. Sonic Cd plays excellent with the Dualshock 2 controller, and if you never played Sonic Cd before, I suggest playing it. Sonic R is an underrated Sonic game. It is very creative, and features some new characters, such as EggRobo, Metal Knuckles and Tails Doll. This last one you may know with the interned urban legend (the curse of the Tails Doll). The rest of the games (about 5 or 6 games) are Sega Game Gear games. There is nothing very unique about them but I enjoyed some of them, such as Sonic Drift 2 and Tails Adventures. There are 2 unlockable games, which I'll not spoil them here.

The Bad
To this time, that I'm reviewing Gems, I didn't find nothing bad about this collection. Games featured are fun and they play very well with the Dualshock controller.

The Bottom Line
Sonic Gems Collection is something I was looking forward to have. I never played Sonic R, Sonic Cd or Sonic the Fighters before and I think they are very enjoyable for the Sonic the Hedgehog fans and even casual players. The Game Gear games featured are fun, but they could've been better. In conclusion, if you find this one (which I believe it's a bit rare) get it, even if you played those games before. I'm a Sonic the Hedgehog fan and game collector and I found this one a gold mine!

Trivia

The Japanese version, in addition to the 2 Vectorman games, also includes the Streets of Rage trilogy and Bonanza Brothers, which were omitted to keep the game from getting a T rating.
