i loved sonic back in the day
i hope the game really does stand the test of time though
because a couple of articles i've read have suggested otherwise
honestly do u think this game is worth it?

It's definately not worth it 
Horrific conversions, the Megadrive versions play better...
Avoid at all costs, get Sonic Jam on the Saturn instead if you must...

According to all reviews of the US version, the emulations of each game are 99% perfect. The only reason to get Sonic Jam is for the 3D Sonic World.

And the more indepth museum and history of Sonic sections, and the more friendly emulation.
The emulation isnt exactly perfect - it's almost like there is a bit of a grainy mask over everything, slightly disturbing, imo. The games still play perfectly, though.

Just trying to save you some money, I own Sonic Jam and the MD versions of the games as well...I don't have any hidden agenda...It's a shoddy compilation IMO...
Don't you think Stoney? Or are you giving it the PALGN special review treatment

7/10 imo, as I've mentioned before, hence the preview impression of 3.5/5
The games are still great, but Sega could have done a bit better on this compilation - shit they may as well have just ported Sonic Jam.
