Sonic 3 and Sonic and Knuckles are the obvious glaring omissions from this disc - I mean seriously, WITAF? Sonic 3 was one of the best titles on the Mega Drive yet it is completely missing from this collection. I've KINDLY given this a 6/10 rating, if I was being very critical it would be much lower and I don't blame others for doing so. But despite the quality of the games on offer here, there are far too many issues for this to be considered a successful release. Let me first say that as a gamer I was pretty much raised on the Sega Mega Drive and have nothing but love for it and my childhood memories Let me first say that as a gamer I was pretty much raised on the Sega Mega Drive and have nothing but love for it and my childhood memories playing it. It's possible the sound/performance issues could be addressed with patches, in which case add another couple of points to my score. If you've gone down any of the alternative routes towards Genesis/Megadrive emulation, then I think you're definitely wasting your money unless the convenience of being able to play specifically on a PS4/Xbox One is critical to you.

If you already have a working PS3 or X360 and a copy of the previous collection, it's difficult to recommend this unless you consider the 14 new games essential. This is a shame, as other games such as Sonic Mania and the entirety of the SNES Mini collection managed a more convincing scanlines option.

There's a scanlines option, but it causes banding on large areas of the same colour (such as the blue sky background on Sonic) and causes a weird moirГ© effect in TV Set Mode. The new emulator 'pixel-hiding' settings may please some, but I personally find they ruin the look. That last one is actually quite cool, but my preference is fullscreen with black borders. You can play the games in fullscreen with borders, or stretched (which is yuk!), or in a TV Mode where you're looking at a 14' Trinitron-like TV set with a slightly curved screen. Perhaps more games will be added via DLC? Time will tell. These 14 new games are extremely welcome, but why did we have to lose 4 absolute classics to make way for them? A Sonic 3 + Sonic & Kuckles combination is surely long overdue Sega? I'm pretty sure the hidden games from the previous collection (such as the arcade version of Shinobi) have also been dropped, so the total number of games is roughly the same. and, in their place, we have: Alien Soldier, Bio-Hazard Battle, Columns III, Galaxy Force II, Gunstar Heroes, Landstalker, Light Crusader, Shadow Dancer, Space Harrier II, Sword of Vermillion, The Revenge of Shinobi, Toejam & Earl, ToeJam & Earl in Panic on Funkatron. The following games have been dropped: Ecco The Dolphin, Ecco: The Tides of Time, Sonic 3, Sonic & Knuckles. In terms of the games you get, it's easiest to compared with the PS3/X360 release.

Neither of the above are game-breaking, but shows a general lack of care and finesse, not to mention the fact that these issues don't occur when running the same games in emulation on a Raspberry Pi 3, which has a fraction of the processing power of the PS4 and Xbox 360. You will lose frames of animation and the music will noticeably stutter. Often when transitioning to a new background screen, but I haven't yet narrowed it down. Performance: This emulator frequently stutters badly in certain parts of certain games. The most noticeable are the noise Sonic makes as he spins through the end sign in the first Sonic the Hedgehog, and the noise made in Toejam and Earl when you cause parts of the land to appear. Sound: Ok, you may not have an 'echoic memory' like I do, but if you played the original games back in the day, there are bound to be some moments where you realise the sound is off. This would all be ok and worthy of something well above 5/10, except that the emulation is actually shade worse than the PS3 release in two key areas: 1. It's a very similar set of games to 'Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection' for PS3 and Xbox 360, but with a redesigned front-end and a few more emulator choices. It's a very similar set of games to 'Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection' for PS3 and Xbox 360, but Well, this is slightly disappointing.
