 - not the same as the sega classicsthe sonic spinball is pretty much like the old sega one golden axe is almost as good as the sega one trying to kill bad guys and the deatha adder and you can even do a duel beetween your character and some monster but golen axe 2 for sega gennesis is da best ever.echo the dolphin is nothing the same as the old sega i cant even figure out how to play this one. but i still reccomend you to buy this no matter what the price is. Rating: - Smashin'!The game is quite action packed, but the Sonic Pinball game is a perfectly great handheld game! Golden Ax and Ecco are GREAT! Enough to entertain you... Rating:  - Classic plays for that long tripThese games look great on the new Game Boy with frontlighting! The old-fashioned gameplay gives you hours of fun, especially on a long flight. Just smash and score! Rating: - Those were the days...If you're like me and were around in the good old days of sega genesis, this is a game you'll be interested in. Sonic Spinball and Ecco are both classics and worth the buy. I'm not familiar with Golden Axe, however, so I can't tell you about it. Sonic Spinball is fun and like all the other Sonic games, worth it. Ecco is a bit challenging, so experienced gamers might prefer it. Overall, this will be worth your while. Rating:  - Decent, but could have been better...Unfortunately, this version of the Smash Pack inherited the same flaws the Windows and Dreamcast versions suffered from. The emulation (or in this case, reprogramming) just isn't that good. Most notably the sound is pretty awful. Granted, these games didn't sound the best to begin with, but the audio is even more tinny and "metallicy" sounding than the originals. In the case of Ecco, it's just one horrid 30 second sound clip looping indefinitely. The visuals are also missing some animation and details over the original versions (and even if they were perfectly reproduced, they'd still be below average visuals for a Gameboy Advance game). Beyond that, none of these three games were terribly good choices for the collection. Golden Axe was great for it's time, but a bad port of a bad port just doesn't cut it now. Pick up Final Fight One (also for the Gameboy Advance) for a much better port of a similar style game. If you must have Sonic Spinball, the version in Sonic Mega Collection on the Gamecube is flawlessly emulated (along with the rest of that collection). And Ecco...well, the best version by far was on the Sega CD. I love ports, updates, and collections of older games-when they're done right, as in Sonic Mega Collection. But there are much better Gameboy Advance games to spend your money on than this lousy collection.
