The Game has some small issues like small flickering, frame drops or glitching graphics.īut the Game itself works fine and you are able to complete the Game successfully without any huge disadvantages for your in-game-progress.
It works exactly like when you play it on real PS2 Hardware. The Game works perfect without any noticeable errors.
It was only exclusive to the PC version, so it’s pretty cool that the Gems Collection has this option. In the options menu, there’s a “Weather” option and you can make it Snowy, Clear, or Random. (BTW: If you’re irritated by the lyrics, you can turn them off in the options menu.) This version of the game in Gems Collection is actually the PC version, but the game doesn’t really tell you that. It’s a guilty pleasure for me and I could see why people would find it annoying. But, on its own, I kinda like the soundtrack. It’s not really something you’d listen to when you’re in the mood to race.
It’s obvious they put a lot of hard work in these tracks, but it’s pretty frustrating at points. Not even the maps can help you find where you are. There are only 5 race tracks, and it’s easy to loose track on where you’re going. I usually just hold the B button and turn with the L & R triggers, but I always tilt the analog stick in case to make the turn better. The L & R triggers can help you turn more sharp, but don’t be surprised if you keep bumping into walls. You accelerate with B or X and you can jump with the A button. Oh well, it’s kinda creepy, but really fricking slow to race with… The controls are very awkward. Tails Doll and Metal Knuckles are new, yet I’m kinda confused as to why they Tails’s counterpart was a floating doll instead of a robot. The character selection is also pretty good, all 3 sonic characters, Eggman, Metal Sonic, and a batnik from Sonic 3K. Oh **** where to begin… The graphics have not aged well, but they must’ve looked great for the Sega Saturn(especially since my Wii supports component cables for my GameCube games). I’ve always wanted to play it, and now thanks to #Youtubemoney, dawg, I finally got to experience the great that is, Sonic R. The poor controls, the Tails Doll, and that annoying, yet enjoyable, soundtrack by Richard Jacques & TJ Davis. I’ve heard a lot of stories about Sonic R.
I already owned Sonic CD on PC & PS3 and Sonic the Fighters on PS3, so there was really one game(and a few Game Gear and Genesis games) I bought this for. I ordered a copy of (This is mostly a Sonic R review) "Speed demons and blistering circuits make this one of the craziest races ever!" I ordered a copy of Sonic Gems Collection and it came in the mail today. (This is mostly a Sonic R review) "Speed demons and blistering circuits make this one of the craziest races ever!"
