User Rating: 9.2 | Sonic Gems Collection PS2
Sonic Gems is basically similar to Sonic Mega Collection Plus for the Playstation 2. It is a game that has a collection of classic Sonic games and tons of bonus content, like extra hidden games.

What makes this different from Collections is the games on offer, you get mega drive and game gear games to play but all are very rare ones. Like Sonic CD, I never played it before but thanks to this game I had the opportunity to play such a rare and wonderful game.

The games are nicely presented with all the games having save capabilities so you no longer have to spend 5 hours straight trying to beat a game, instead you can save your progress. Difficulty is varied depending on the game, the Sonic fighting game is quite hard but the racing game Sonic R is actually very easy, so overall the difficulty is varied. Graphics can be nice for some games, they all bright and colourful but when you look at the system they were released on you will realise that for its time the graphics gameplay and sound were all very good.

While classified as poor by todays standards this game is a piece of gaming history that you will love and you should be able to find it cheap first hand. I actually managed to find it for only £9.99.
