Sonic Gems Collection -- Vectorman 2 & Final Opinion.

Vectorman 2 was released at the very end of the Genesis's life span in 1996. It was once again created by Blue Sky Software and published by SEGA. Vectorman 2 is the same game as Vectorman.  It plays identically. It has the same end of console graphics and sounds. It has the identical control scheme. It has the same character move set. It has the same level design. It has the same art and musical style.  It has the same weirdness to the bosses and level progression.  If you liked the original game, you should come away from it feeling identically in having played Vectorman 2. As for the whole of Sonic Gems Collection, I'd have to say I'm quite impressed with two of the three main games. Sonic the Fighters and Sonic CD are worth the price of the disc alone.  Sonic R won't provide much beyond the frustration in the control. The Game Gear games would be welcome to those who didn't destroy their thumbs in pulling off what it takes to unlock them in Sonic Adventure DX. The Vectorman games are a good bonus.  For me it was great to finally remove them from the list of missing Genesis titles. The museum aspect is cool, but flawed. There is a lot of content to unlock.  There are 320 items, in fact.  Mostly consisting of artwork, but also including movies, end boss battles / ending collection for 16 Sonic games not on SGC, newly created music, and images of rare Sonic related arcade machines. The flaw is in how you go about unlocking them. There are some cool puzzle based methods, but most of them involve how much time you've spent playing the games. You have to play Sonic Drift 2 for 140 minutes, as an example. For those of you who've ever played Sonic Drift 2, you know just how much effort Sonic Team is asking of you. Overall though, there is a massive amount to do in this $29 disc. It's a must for fans of Sonic,  and or those looking to complete their collections.  I'm going to give it a 7.5.
