On the flip side, if you’re just buying the expansion, it’s pretty cheap! 10.99 USD, to be exact.I think it’s safe to say the Sonic faithful is deeply divided on Sonic Origins. The Story Mode and the other game modes are also great, if a little repetitive.
Plus, each one has the Anniversary mode, which rules. You’ve still got four classic games to play. If you’re buying the whole game for the first time, it’s not all bad news. You can read the review for that one here. Of course, the Origins Plus expansion is being layered on top of an existing product.
So, not a lot of hits in the Game Gear section. Yes, even uglier than the one you’re thinking of, I promise. Sonic Blast has the coveted distinction of being the ugliest Sonic game I’ve ever seen. Tails has two forgettable games in here as well. Sonic Labyrinth takes away your ability to run in more than short bursts, and the hit detection is abysmal. I can handle about ten minutes of that at once before I’m ready to hurl. The screen real estate is so limited that you follow Sonic’s every jump arc. The various platformers are sluggish, which is bad. There’s also Sonic Spinball, which mostly works. It’s a simple puzzle game, well-suited to the Game Gear’s screen size and resolution. Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine is downright decent. Surely there are a few gems hidden among the dreck? Dr. Maybe Sega was hoping that volume would make up for the games’ average quality? The important thing is that the games in question are pretty awful. I’m making this expansion seem like an insubstantial thing, which is not true! It’s just that almost all of the Game Gear games are very bad. Plus, Knuckles is now playable in Sonic CD. Oh! You also get access to music, wallpapers, Extreme Missions, and Mirror Mode. Said move also resembles one that Sonic has in some of these same games. Tapping the jump button while midair unleashes a sort of hammer spin, which is neat. Cool right? She doesn’t control very differently, to be fair. You can now speed through the four main games with Amy Rose. Origins Plus also introduces Amy as a playable character.
