I love Classic Sonic. Sonic 3 and knuckles is a my favorite game! So when I saw that they were releasing these gems on the switch I was stoked! Unfortunately this game was botched. The deluxe edition gives you some extra music and some illustrations, it was not worth the extra price. The games themselves are great (for the most part) as you can play updated versions of each of the games with updated graphics and some added characters. There is also a mission mode as well which is ok. With two styles of game play it makes the games more welcoming for beginners with Story mode. There are some great animated cut scenes added as well. The games all run fine for the most part with Sonic 3 and knuckles having the most issues. Some of the music has changed and some audio queues are different and it makes it hard to play if your use to how the game use to run. Also the physics seem to be off ramps don’t always work how they should, wall clipping etc. It’s really sad especially when there are mods and Roma that did a better job with the game. Heck the original version runs better than this in some ways. A sad thing sets did was take these games out of the iTunes Store and out of the sets genesis collection. Sad thing is if you bought all these games through this Avenue it would be cheaper than this collection. The extras you get in this game aren’t great either. It’s a sad collection really because you can tell there is love out in but that it’s also very rushed. Don’t buy this collection for full price please get it on sale.
