Sonic CD is the only great and memorable Sega CD game and it had pretty good and great reviews at the time and its still a memorable experience to the game however it is not the best game in the series and if you want to judge me play Sonic Pocket Adventure on Neo Geo Pocket color and see the experience for yourself, so this is my review and I have a lot to say about it even though I'm only a kid so let's get this started!!!

Graphics:9

I got to say Sonic CD had incredible graphics for It's time if you mean what I mean as in incredible. So the sprites in Sonic CD go back to the original Sonic the Hedgehog in every way, Gaming purists will go crazy for this edition however most gamers find it unappealing and nothing new or amazing put on the other hand, the background gives a nostalgic feeling that the world is falling into chaos and sets the mood for the entire and is truly memorable.

Sound:9

The sound is still original to the genesis games and every gamer will get into it and the sound got just as much feedback as Sonic 3D Blast although Sonic CD came first, every gamer, Even gaming purists will go crazy over this!!! The music I got to say is really catchy and the boss music is Scary!!! But even though the music is catchy it can get a little repetitive especially the future music.

Addictiveness:8

I gotta say, Sega did good to attract people to this game and It's likely I'm going to play again and again and again. But the Japanese advertised it better to increase not that I care of but the box art in the American version was kinda lame and was kinda a disappointment saleswise but It's otherwise good not that I care of.

Story:6

The story is decent but kinda lame, The story is that Robotnik has taken control of a time stone which controls the flow of time and thanks to that time stone, Robotnik expanded his army of robots by kidnapping flowers rather than animals which an even stranger fuel source, but he also created the Badnik we all know Metal Sonic to kidnap Amy Rose. And now Sonic has to rescue Amy and defeat M. Sonic and Dr. Robotnik. They should work on the storyline a little more to avoid this disappointing rating.

Depth:6

I know, disappointing, but I had to because of how much the zones have to offer, I know there's two new characters, a time attack and memory backup modes, but there's seven zones with 3 acts and a time travel mode, the positives are the time travel mode you can time travel between Past, Present, Good Future, and Bad Future, the only way to get a good future is if you destroy a projection of M. Sonic destroying the world in the past and By defeating an  certain type of enemy in the present to destroy a generator but otherwise ALL ZONES has something to do with metal and robots and that's it!

Difficulty:6

This is my biggest complaint ever, the difficulty is totally sparratic in most of the zones, the zones I recall that have a-okay difficulty is zones 1,2,and 3 and that's it, the other zones have random block and enemy placement, a lot of times, to take a path which you think It's fine and quick when you are really wasting time with a stupid path!!! In the final zone things get hard way too fast and It's non-linear and if you make it to the last act and the final boss, geez somebody who got this far knows what I'm talking about and It took away lots of lives just to defeat a small boss!!!

Overall Rating:8.9

Sonic CD Is a worthy successor to the genesis games, I loved playing through the game and figure everything out, there's even a full motion video for both the intro and ending, If it weren't for the crappy difficulty then it would've gotten a better rating so that's my review...

mariosonic123... OUT!!!

awesome review    its very nice for a first review also . full of depth      for that darth wario will not kill you  lol 

                            

mariosonic123 : not a bad review, I wouldn't have rated the Sound that high. but have you heard the JP soundtrack to the game? (I thought that it was loads better and more fitting then the american version)

bombchu link : I'm only a kid, what'd you expect, but I did rate the the sound that high because the music is really that catchy to me and in the Japanese version, The music is closer to the synthesized forum than in the acoustic forum and if you think about it can get a little repetitive, and I gotta agree with you, Sonic CD in JP sounds more kick-ass than the American and PAL version.
