More like, origins of a mediocre collection
The Good
This is so hard to rate, because on one hand, these are the original Sega console Sonic games. On the other, this is a lazy cash-grab that does nothing to enhance the games themselves. The Game Gear games truly save this collection from being one star from me, they're all hidden gems in their own special way, even Labyrinth.
The Bad
Oh, no. I had high hopes when this was announced and every expectation of mine was absolutely not met. This is not the definitive way to play Sonic at all. It's the opposite, this is the absolute worst way to experience Sonic 2 and 3. If someone is playing Sonic for the first time through this collection... I am so sorry Sega did this to you.
The Bottom Line
Sonic 3 is almost unplayable. There was so very little updated that it's not at all worth going back to. At least with the Game Gear games we got, they were releasing in the west for the first time in about 20 years. Other than that, Sonic 1, 2, and CD are just the mobile ports. I don't like to throw the word "lazy" around a lot but this fits the bill.
