• Sonic Classic Collection Review(2)

  　　

  

   

  　　But the two player was stripped out of Sonic 2, and the "save your game anywhere" feature doesn't actually save the game at the moment it was selected – it just kicks you back to the start of the level that you were playing.

  　　And the fact that you can get these games in a variety of different ways – from Virtual Console to Xbox Live to plug-and-play TV editions and even licensed stand-alone Genesis portables – the impact of getting these titles on a DS cart is lessened. Plus, why not include the whole Genesis Sonic shebang like Sonic Spinball and Sonic 3D Blast if these are just emulations.

  　　Closing Comments

  　　Sonic Classic Collection is a good, but flawed compilation for the Nintendo DS that just screams “small budget, short development cycle!” It is what it is: four great Sonic games accurately ported to a half-assed compilation.
