All three Ecco titles and Sonic 3 & Knuckles were on the Steam collection released back in 2010 (which was later updated to have a 3D room interface and is the basis of this new collection), meaning that if someone wants to play those titles they will have to purchase the previous release that is still on sale and includes a copy of Sonic CD in the package (launched in a separate game launcher). Space limitations are no longer an issue, yet for some reason on this compilation all three Genesis Ecco the Dolphin games are absent, as is any form of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles. SEGA has such a rich catalog of games there’s little excuse as to why a downloadable/physical game on a blu-ray disc doesn’t have more. Not one of these collections is a definitive Genesis collection. It’s absurd that despite there being four compilations none of them are feature complete. Up until the Genesis Collection on PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable, most Genesis compilations contained no more than maybe six games. This is the fourth extensive Genesis collection released. The rest of this review however will be me removing this game from that vacuum and explaining why I’m torn on giving it the score I do. In a vacuum, I recommend this collection and that’s what the score at the bottom of this review will reflect. The rewind feature allows complete reversal of the game to undo any mistakes made, which will trivialize most of these games for any hardcore SEGA fan familiar with them, and allow new players to slowly work their way through. If there is someone out there unfamiliar with the sometimes unforgiving games in the Genesis library this is likely the collection I would recommend due to the unique rewind feature found only in this collection. I love SEGA but this is yet another collection of the same Genesis games (Mega Drive for the worldwide folk) and it’s getting hard to justify giving these collections scores because while the selection in these collections have ranged from decent to great, they are just the same games repackaged. ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER SEGA GENESIS COLLECTION.
