If it wasn't for Sonic CD and the two Vectorman games, it would be called "Sonic Germs Collection".

Seriously, Sonic CD, Vectorman and Vectorman 2 were the only Gems on here. This title was supposedly planned to have the more underrated Sonic titles that were very good despite the fact they were underrated. The thing is, most of them aren't that great. I think Segasonic the hedgehog should've been on it. The original may have used a trackball but people could've used the Gamecube's analogue stick without much trouble. how d'you think I completed the game when emulating it using Mame32?

Chaotix should've also been on it. It was a great game and ought to have been on a compilation like this.

Sonic the fighters shouldn't have been on here. It's just not very fun.

I don't know what drug sega was taking when they thought Sonic R was a gem. I'd rather see that saturn version of Sonic 3D blast. Sure it's not very good but It's 4 times better than sonic R!

Sonic CD was good, although i'd prefer the original to the PC version. What's annoying is that the Japanese got the proper music for Sonic CD, and people in England (And the USA) had to make to with the american music. While that music is good, you have to admit that it's not as good as the JP music.

Sonic Drift 2 and Spinball for the GG were a bit crummy. I'd rather see a game like Alex Kidd in High Tech world than that.

Tails' Sky Patrol? What were they thinking?!?!?!?!?!!!!!!!"£$%^&*()! It's the second worst sonic game! I'd rather see a marathon of Storm Hawks!

So overall, Sonic Gems collection doesn't live up to its name. Only buy it for Sonic CD and vectormans 1 & 2. if you live in japan, buy it for streets of rage.
