Sonic Origins Plus is a collection that brings together every major Sonic game released on the Sega Genesis including Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Sonic CD, and Sonic 3 & Knuckles into one definitive package. These games are considered some of the finest 2D platformers ever made and still hold up even being released decades ago.
Each of these classic titles features fast-paced platforming gameplay, tight and intuitive controls, imaginative level design, catchy and memorable music, and fun bosses to beat. Not to mention, these games have balanced difficulty which is considerate for new players while providing satisfying challenges for those wishing to master the mechanics and set speed-running records.
But this collection doesn't just include Sonic's greatest Sega Genesis hits, it's packed with all sorts of bonus games and new gameplay additions. For starters, Sonic Origins Plus contains every single Sonic game released on Sega's Game Gear handheld console. While Sonic's Game Gear games aren't as famous or aged as gracefully as their Genesis cousins, they're still enjoyable in their own right.
As for the new features: Sonic's rival, Knuckles the Echidna, has been added as a playable character in Sonic CD, complete with his unique level routes. Also, Sonic's longtime fangirl turned heroine, Amy Rose, has been added as a brand-new character for all Genesis games and features a unique gameplay style where she bashes enemies into bits with her Piko Piko Hammer.
With the help of Black Friday 2023, the Xbox version of Sonic Origins Plus' MSRP has been dramatically reduced at several retailers, the best discount deal being $19.99 at Best Buy. If you buy it from Best Buy and sign up for My Best Buy membership, you will be granted a 60-day return window to try out a product before deciding to keep it.
If you've been thinking about getting a Christmas gift for your kids or if you have a friend who grew up playing Sonic games back in the 1990s, then I highly recommend getting Sonic Origins Plus. Sonic's Genesis games are some of the best games of the 16-bit era of gaming (Sonic 3 & Knuckles is one of my personal favorite games of all time), and thanks to this collection, they're now some of the best Xbox games that 2D platformer fans of all ages should not miss out on.
