SEGA Mega Drive Classics Reviews
Overall, the Sega Mega Drive Classics collection is a decent addition if you are craving some more retro game time. Unfortunately, the omission of a lot of really good titles hampers this collection as a whole. Of course, there are licensing issues but you can easily see where they tried to cram titles in just to fill the collection up.
For £25 though you are getting your moneys worth. There’s a hefty amount of classic gaming here and if you can look past the somewhat iffy versions of your childhood titles and you aren’t too bothered amount what’s missing, the added extras and the included challenges may this your go-to collection if you’re playing on PS4. Anywhere else? You’ll find superior standalone versions of these games on the Xbox Store and Steam. Spend your money on those instead.
The Sega Genesis Classics is a great way to check out an amazing library of releases from one of the most iconic consoles.
With dozens of titles to choose from, many of which rank among the best in video game history, the Sega Genesis Classics delivers a lot of bang for your buck. This collection rightly hangs its hat on bucket loads of nostalgia, but some nice new features make this more than just the repackaging of older games I have seen in other compilations over the years. I could nitpick about a handful of titles that should have been here and some that might as well have been left off, but this is a collection of games that is definitely worth playing.
For any fans of classic SEGA games, this is a must-have. You’ll certainly get excited and have those moments of remembering playing these as a kid.
I can sit down with my seven year old son and both of us will be having heaps of fun
Truthfully, the quality of Sega Genesis Classics is almost wholly dependant on one's own taste in 16-bit-ness. Those with a burning adoration for the titles on offer will have a complete and utter blast with this retro offering, and maybe even newbies can find a thing or two to smile about. Despite its minor flaws, Sega Genesis Classics is what it is: An simple but effective compilation at a decent price.
SEGA Mega Drive Classics is a great purchase if you want to take a trip back to the 90's and replay many classic games. Containing over 50 titles, you won't find a collection this big for such a low price whilst also offering high-quality emulation with added extras like instant rewind, quick saves, and the mirror mode. A lot of the titles are brought into the 21st century with the inclusion of online leaderboards, challenges, trophies and online multiplayer which adds to the replayability factor. Pretty much every genre is included and there is bound to be something for everyone. If you grew up with a Mega Drive/Genesis then I can't recommend this enough – you will explode with nostalgia!
A throwback is good every now and then, but it’s the younger generations that need a recall of what it was like during the great-ol-days.
The Mega Drive Collection is a wonderful nostalgic return to the games of SEGA's golden age. Despite missing a few favourites, the collection includes something for almost everyone and with the addition of save states, a rewind feature and a virtually immaculate presentation it feels fun, familiar and accessible. In short, this is what a great retro-game collection looks like.
While not everything is a classic and there’s a few notable omissions, this is still a great mixture of genres couple with neat emulation gimmicks. For Nintendo fans, it’s also a great time travel machine back to see just how the other lived during the great console war.
The best part about the Sega Megadrive Classics collection is the out-of-game in-built features. Similar to other “collections,” you can quicksave and load as easy as pushing the right joystick up and down.
Like any compilation, SEGA Mega Drive Classics consists of games ranging in quality from classic to just plain terrible and everything in between. That being said the good definitely outweighs the bad here and while it’s a shame this bundle is missing some key Mega Drive releases there’s still plenty of fun to be had experimenting with its fifty plus catalogue.
Sega Mega Drive & Genesis Classics is a great collection and a must have for players who want to know the history of gaming.

Sega Mega Drive Classics offers a collection of must-have games. The legendary Sega console is timeless and players are aware of that. Although it is true that the inclusion of some myths such as Ecco the Dolphin or Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is missing, the 53 games chosen to shape this collection ensure many evenings of fun for old times' sake!

If you love the 16-bit era as much as I do then purchasing Sega Genesis Classics should be mandatory.
The collection of games itself is just such incredible value, covering off such a broad range of SEGA's history when it was at its very finest, that anyone missing out on this is doing themselves a real disservice.
SEGA Genesis Classics is a great collection of Genesis games. The list is diversified and quite complete, despite the absence of certain titles, such as Sonic 3 and Sonic and Knuckles. The hub with a nostalgic look is good and the challenges are interesting, but they should be in a larger number - 1 per game, at least. The online, however, is bad.

The technical issues may not be as noticeable in some titles, but they utterly break the likes of Alien Soldier.
It manages to package together some of the greatest games ever produced, throw new challenges your way, deliver a nice mixture of visual options, and provide the retro feel 90s babies will rejoice over. The Sega Genesis Classics collection stands out as the preferred method to enjoying Sonic and his mascot buddies on current-gen consoles.
