Game review score: 7.8/10 (IGN)
Game description: Sonic Mega Collection Plus is an update of Sonic Mega Collection for the PlayStation 2 and Xbox consoles. A PC version was also released in Europe and North America. This edition includes the addition of six Game Gear games, the two games that were included in the Japanese version of Sonic Mega Collection (The Ooze and Comix Zone), new artwork and movies, a new in-game menu, and a mid-game saving feature. It is, however, missing six Sonic Game Gear games that were included (along with the six included in this collection) in Sonic Adventure DX: Director's Cut, but they would later appear in Sonic Gems Collection. In addition, only the final Japanese revision of the original Sonic the Hedgehog is included.

Comments:

  • This is a megadrive emulator (or something) and it's pretty fast at it.
  • Last tester for PAL with 0.9.2
  • As of August 26, 2011, this game is not listed on the official compatibility list (NTSC-J version).
