Good

Quite a trip down memory lane

I rented this Genesis Collection to determine whether or not I wanted to buy it. There are a lot of great games in this collection, but the one I was looking forward to the most, Space Harrier, seems different. I don't remember it ever having a control scheme that re-centers the player when you let go of the contoller stick. Neither could this be changed in the control configuration. A big disappointment for it caused countless deaths. I personally had the most enjoyment with Phantasy Star III that immediately brought me back to my preteens as the soundtrack fired up. Unfortunately I don't have the time to put into a game of that scope. This is a good collection and I am on the fence about an actual purchase.

The Definitive Collection thus far....

40 plus titles, all optimized for the 360....not to mention an easy way to pad your gamerscore, seeing as how only one of the achievements actually require you to complete one of the games from start to finish.

Worth the rent for sure, and priced at 25 bucks to keep, it's worth that too, if you're so inclined.

This is by far the most impressive collections of games on 1 disk. There is no way classics like this are rated over a 7 but in my eyes they are a 10.
