I just got this yesterday, a day earlier than expected. And I gotta say, just about everything with this collection is wonderfully presented. The titles themselves are what I've come to expect, and I really like the library overall. It would've been nice to have Alien Soldier or something niche to spice it up, but considering we even got the arcade ports of Fantasy Zone and Altered Beast, I'm not gonna let that bother me.
The games have been up-scaled to 720p, and they all look amazing on an HDTV. The games start up in a 4:3 aspect ratio box, which looks fine, but there's also a 16:9 option with no box that looks absolutely spectacular if you're playing on a big TV. There's also a smoothing option, but although it hides the pixels much better, it just looks bad overall. Wouldn't recommend using that feature, though I'm not sure I'd say it's useless.
Packed in the collection are various interviews and extra games to keep your mind busy. You even have this little red box on the right of every game that lets you rank it from 0 to 5, which is a cute idea. (Can't do that with the bonus games though.)
Overall, the definitive Genesis collection, bar none. You get save states, the games look and sound amazing, and the titles themselves are the classics. It's hard not to enjoy games like Golden Axe, Altered Beast, Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle, Gain Ground, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, etc. You get a variety of genres that blend well together, and overall, that's all that needs to be said. I've come a long way from those Jakks Pacific plug n' plays, and if you're a decent Sega fan and want to see what the system had to offer in a new upgraded light, then this is what you're looking for.
If you were born before 1984 or so, and fondly remember this stuff...Buy it.
Realize the games are in the 3:4 old school screen ratio. These are NOT true HD re-makes.
A nice bonus is the "smoothing" option. It makes the pixels look less square; more like how it looked on an old CRT TV. Fuzzy, but not too fuzzy to play. Excellent, IMO.
To be honest, I grew up much more on Nintendo than on Sega. I did get a Master System (well, to be more accurate, my older bro got it for me), but I only accumulated a few games for it. My bro got a Genesis and several games for it, but he played them more than I did. And most of them aren't here, as they weren't made by Sega, or because of whatever other reasons (lack of popularity?). Nintendo got most of my attention (and much of my bro's, too). So, this collection doesn't hold nearly as much nostalgia for me as it does for many other people. Nevertheless, I still think this is an awesome collection. (I also think it's kind of cute how they tried to make it look like Sonic picked out the games!)
Some of these games I first played (and first had) on the Sega Genesis collection for PS2. That collection is not exactly the same as this one; it doesn't have some of the games that this one does, and vice versa... although this one is bigger, with like 50 games! (As you might expect, it is rather Sonic-heavy!... That Sonic sure is humble, isn't he, picking all those games with him in them... Just joking there!) In fact, one of the reasons I got this collection is because it has the Streets Of Rage games, all of which, to my puzzlement, are absent from the PS2 collection. (One of the games that appears on that collection, but not on this one, is Virtua Fighter... but I'm not complaining, 'cause the Genesis version of that is terrible, at least in my opinion.)
I do have one major complaint about this collection, and that is that some of the games (the ones that are actually arcade or SMS ones) are "unlockables." (There's "unlockable" stuff on the PS2 collection, too).
Overall, though, this is a killer collection, and a must-have for those who grew up with the Sega Genesis... it's also a great buy for people like me who grew up mostly on a diet of NES and SNES (or whatever other systems)! And for the prices you can get it for now (20 bucks and under), you REALLY can't go wrong!
