A near perfect collection of the first four Sonic games, which can be played in remastered or classic mode. It also includes a lot of other modes like missions, boss rush and mirror modes.

Great conversions wrapped up in a ‘basic at best, annoying at worst’ wrapper. The core games are still top-tier, but the package lacks the Mania love. [Issue#17, p.91]

An unfortunate collection of great games. The individual Sonic titles are fine, as fun as they always have been throughout the years. The collection in itself doesn’t really add anything, however, and is really pricey for what it offers.

Many Sonic fans really downplay this collection. But really, this is still the best way to play these classic games. For casuals, this is the perfect collection to get.

Since it has brought these games in an almost pristine condition, with plenty of bonus soundtrack, pictures, videos and manuals to unlock (for free), new playable characters, Game Gear games, and made me have lots of fun, it deserves to be recognized as such, because these games were and are legendary! The only negative thing IMO is the fact they got rid of the "MJ songs", which many people loved.

Sonic Origins is a fantastic celebration of 30 years of SEGA's spiky blue mascot, offering four of the best platformers money can buy and chucking in a bunch of great extras that long-time fans can appreciate. Regardless of where the Blue Blur head next, Sonic Origins is a reminder of just how damn good these timeless classics are.

Sonic Origins takes us back to that time where it had strong competition from Nintendo's Mario Bros. This time we have four games adapted for this gen and the ability to play it with Sonic, Tails and Knuckles. This is the best way to enjoy these classics.

Compilation of all 2d classic sonic games from 1 to 3 and Knuckles with added content

Sonic Collection is not only a (guess what?) collection of the first games featuring the blue hedgehog and friends cleverly remastered and with an improved gameplay, but it’s also a long platformer – if we consider the Story mode which will take us by hand through all four chapters – which I would recommend also to those who are unfamiliar with the franchise and are simply looking for a fun and fast paced game with colorful graphics and an awesome level design where there’s always something new to discover. Highly recommended both for Sonic lovers and newcomers.

An exciting journey through time, Sonic Origins gets it right by including four of the most important games of the Sonic series in one collection for the new generation of consoles. Nostalgia will hit you and it's gonna be a lot of fun for those who love the most famous hedgehog in the world.

Although it is a nice homage to the first adventures of the hedgehog, Sonic Origins could have deserved a better finish. Overall, this compilation is correct, but the options offered are not enough to make up for certain shortcomings. Despite a really successful dressing with its cartoons and colorful interface, SEGA's game constantly oscillates between good and bad. We're having a good time, but for Sonic's 30th anniversary, we were right to expect more games and surprises. Especially at a price of forty euros.

As much as there are some modifications that might make the game more appealing to newer players, Sonic Origins is undoubtedly something designed for long-time fans, especially those who just want to have access to the classic games on the current platforms, without much concern for changes. If you, like me, can't even remember a time in your life when Sonic didn't exist, the collection can be a nice, if somewhat a simple, gift. For the rest of us, it might not seem interesting at all.

Sonic Origins is an Alright collection of the Core Classic Sonic Games. Its missing The Ability to Select Levels is S1 & S2, Introduces New Glitches, Ruins the OST Of S3&K. But if you're a newcomer, You won't care. Make sure to get the Plus expansion of it. It makes it much better.
