News PlayStation 2 GameCube

Streets of Rage included.

As we reported last month, SEGA has a treat in store for long time Sonic fans this summer with the release of Sonic Gems Collection for PS2 and GameCube.

SGC includes Sonic CD, Sonic The Fighters, Sonic R and six Sonic Game Gear titles - but that's not all, it seems.

According to reports from Japan, Sonic Gems will also feature all three instalments in old days beat-em-up series Streets of Rage. Mega Drive classic Bonanza Brothers will make an appearance, too.

SEGA did promise us some "other suprises" when SGC was first announced, and apparently these are just the first to be revealed. We'll bring you more news when we get it, but in the meantime, Sonic Gems screenshots can be found here.

Streets of Rage 3 is a bit crap compared to 1 and 2.

Anyway given Sega's shoddy compilations so far, I think I'll just be sticking to the old ROMS.

Surely they're better than nintendo adding a single 'classic' to a gba cart and charging us almost full wack for the privilege (who actually bought those?!).

I think the game choices have been good but the way they have been ported leaves a lot to be desired. All of the Sonic games run a good deal slower than they do on the MD. Not to mention the slow down when you spin through blocks etc.

If you've already got the originals and the consoles to play them on then of course this product isn't aimed at you. I quite like the idea and agree that it's a damn sight better than Nintendo's re-releases. It'll probably be at a budget price, too so I'm interested.

This will be 2005's must buy for me now that it has every SoR, not just Sonic CD which I've never played it. Anyone buying it just for Sonic The Fighters may be disappointed, I played it years ago in Sega's London arcade and it was alright but nothing special, God knows how it compares now to the likes of Super Smash Bros Melee.

If I didn't have a Mega Drive set up already, I'd buy this one just for the "fwump!" sound effect from the pipe in SoR ;D

Tweakmonkey - bear in mind that the files on that site are only MIDI versions of the original music and so won't sound as good as you remember them; little samples etc. are missing. I actually bought (ages ago) the soundtrack to SoR2 and Yuzo Koshiro's music still kicks arse.
