Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection

Photobucket

Difficulty: This has been the easiest platinum trophy that I have acquired. I would give this an "easy" rating based on time invested and ease of trophy requirements. There is one exception, a trophy by the name of "Yatta!", which requires you to complete the game Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine. This is a game of skill (and some luck), similar to Tetris, and is not a trophy that you will eventually acquire if you invest a lot of time (like a large portion of trophies in any game).

Convenience: This platinum will clock in around 12-18 hours. I completed it in 14 hours with a big chunk of time spent on Dr. Robotnik's M.B.M. All trophies but one, will not demand that you play through the whole game, so once you finish that particular trophy you can switch games. In fact, some games you will only be playing for five minutes to acquire its corresponding trophy. One thing that should be noted (for the Play All Genesis Titles and Play All Arcade Titles trophies) is that just lunching the game actually counts it as being played. Sonic's Ultimate Collection is probably the most straight forward platinum I have encountered so you should not have much trouble with its trophies.

General Tips: In addition to Dr. Robotnik's M.B.M, the Vectorman 2 trophy (Can you dig it? - Reach scene 11) can be a little difficult and cause some frustration. If you wish to make things a little easier in Vectorman 2, you can change the difficulty option to easy, which will grant you more lives and hit points. Additionally, when you pick up x3, x5, or x10 power ups this counts for lives as well. If you are having difficulty in certain stages, one option that can be used is locating a free life power up and going back to it when you have one of the multiplier power ups.
