Sonic the Hedgehog 2 - 9/10
Prefer the Mario series over this one. This game's good though.
Sonic Spinball - 8/10
I still don't know why people dislike this game so much. Sure, it can be annoyingly difficult at times, but once you've figured out the tricks to each level, it becomes very fun.
The Revenge of Shinobi - 7.5/10
Looking back on it, it's not as good as I remember. When it comes to action games on the Genesis, though, you can't get much better.
Golden Axe - 8/10
Kick-ass. Still one of the best side-scrolling beat-'em-ups there is.
Shenmue - 10/10
Doesn't get much better than this. One of my favourite games.
Jet Grind Radio - 8.5/10
The camera and controls are total ass at times, yet somehow the game still manages to be insanely fun and addictive. And the music's awesome.
Virtual On: Oratorio Tangram - 4.5/10
Read a lot of good things about it in different magazines, so when I saw it for cheap I decided to buy it. Turns out it's a piece of crap. There's basically no redeeming features whatsoever.
Toy Commander - 8/10
Shitty graphics, and the controls and camera could have used a lot of work, but it was pretty cool regardless. I loved the level design.
Crazy Taxi - 7.5/10
Admittedly, it's kind of grown on me. But with only two cities, one of the most repetitive soundtracks ever and customers whose locations always stay the same, I'll probably never truly enjoy it. It's just something to play when I'm bored.
Grandia II - 6/10
The first Grandia is one of my favourite games, so I thought the sequel would be at least as good, if not better. Unfortunately, it was neither. It's hard to believe that it was even developed by the same company.
Sega Swirl - 8.5/10
It's fun - and it's free.
