Three definitive mods: Sonic Origins Ultrafix S3&K music restoration Sonic CD Intro music restoration ------- With those and a discount, this becomes a decent way to play these games. However, Sonic 1 Forever, Sonic 2 Absolute, and Sonic 3 AIR are still and probably will always be the best way to play the Genesis games if you have a way to obtain them.

Nov. 2024

An awesome collection of the good old sonic games. My only problem is the change of music in Sonic 3 & Knuckles, but the reason for it is because Michael Jackson made some songs, and his estate didn't let them reuse those tracks. Understandable reasoning, and no fault of the developers. Overall, outstanding collection.

Oct. 2024

This is the set of the good classic Sonic games, and it's a decent way to play them with a big caveat. Some of the music in Sonic 3 was replaced (because of licensing issues probably), and the original removed songs were game-definingly great while the new songs are just very forgettable. I highly recommend installing the "The Definitive Sonic 3 OST" mod for this game so you get the much better classic tracks when playing Sonic 3.

Sept. 2024

Only recommending this because of Ultrafix. Base Origins Plus on its own is still very flawed, albeit enjoyable. Ultrafix makes it a lot more definitive though. Also get this on sale. It is much more worth 20 dollars than 50

Sept. 2024

Genuinely might be a definitive experience if you want to play the original Sonic games. With the main games (Sonic 1, Sonic 2, Sonic 3 & Knuckles and Sonic CD) you get them both in widescreen, 60 fps with a selection of different characters (Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Amy if you pay for Origins Plus) but if you're a purist you can still play the games in their original form. Playing the games remastered like this genuinely has breathed new life into the games I've been playing for most of my life, getting to enjoy them as a smoother experience while also being able to play as characters that originally weren't in the games makes for a great time and means I can play each game multiple times over without it feeling like a chore. You also get access to all those Game Gear games you probably played on the PS2 and Gamecube if you get Origins Plus which usually for me is more a novelty than anything else. I'd honestly just recommend getting Origins Plus because you get everything and its a fun little package. My only gripe would be the price which is definitely high for some old Sonic games even if they have been reworked, if you're hesitant I'd recommend waiting for a sale but if you're like me and enjoyed these classic games then I'd definitely say you should get this at some point.
