The sole drawback to these games is the lack of documentation which means if you’re pulled into them, expect to do some searching for maps and hints online. If you only played these games you’d be getting a few hundred hours out of them. Three of the four Phantasy Star games, Shining in the Darkness, Shining Force, Shining Force II (this trio is connected although the gameplay in SitD is vastly different), Sword of Vermilion, Fatal Labyrinth, Landstalker, Beyond Oasis, and the oddball Light Crusader are here to eat up hours of your time.
Boo.įor me, this collection is all about the great RPGs. Still a total classic, but the even more classic first game is missing thanks to the Sega Master System not being represented. But this set allows a few select games to be played in their Japanese or European versions in case you’re interested in seeing some minor to major changes. As an ancient Sega fan with a few different collections for assorted consoles, I’ll agree that seeing the same games popping up is a bit annoying. Yes, PC owners using Steam who have this collection will notice the lack of Steam Workshop and the ability to modify and add more titles. That’s a pretty great value, especially if you’re going into the 16-bit era cold and want a nice variety to choose from. Phantasy Star IV: The End of the Millenium So, what’s in the box (or download, if you do the digital thing)? Well, let’s take a look: If you leave the phone off the hook, you can’t call your friends over for some couch co-op action! Oh, you need to make more friends? Okay, then. That said, as an introduction to a classic console, it’s quite the deal at the end of the day.
Granted, this collection is missing a few titles found on other collections (notably, the PC version which not only has a few more games, it allows users to mod and add other games as an option), there’s online play that’s not quite flawless and a rewind feature that can make certain titles too easy to beat. Every day there’s likely someone trying out a retro game of some sort and those who’ve never tried anything on the Genesis are going to be very well served here. Here’s something to consider before you more jaded gamers turn up your noses at this latest Sega compilation that yes, has most of the same old games you’ve either played to death in the past or just have little to no interest in. Since you’re in a hurry, here’s the short version: Yes, Sega Genesis Classics is worth the $29.99 just for the JRPGs alone, but you’re getting a whole lot of other okay to really decent to superb games for that price.
