Believe it or not, I had never heard of the Sega CD system until it came to vizzed.  When I decided to play this game, it opened me to a new world of sonic I had never seen, as I had only played Generations and DX.  Sonic CD was released in 1993 by sega, and was the third sonic game released.  In this game, you meet two new characters in the form of Amy Rose and Metal Sonic.  During the game, Amy gets caught by Metal Sonic and has to be saved by Sonic himself.  Also included in this game is the time travel system.  The four different types of time in the game change the level entirely while you play it.  This allows for a whole new dimension of gaming sonic fans had never experienced.
  
   Graphics 6:  The graphics in this game are bad, but compared to the system, they are pretty average.  The graphics from the Sega CD seem to be rough for all games, but some are smoother than others.  A plus for the graphics in this game comes from how they can change depending on what "time period" you are in.  This allows for graphical variation not seen in other games.
  
   Sound 7:  The sounds in this game are pretty good, but sometimes they can get repetitive.  For example, you might think that the jumping and coin collecting sounds are good, until you hear them enough times that you have to turn the volume all the way down on your computer.r  The music in this game, on the other hand, is very good and helps out the sound department.

   Addictiveness 8:  This being my first time playing an older sonic game, I think this is rated a little low compared to others' opinions.  With that said though, I would be willing to sit down for a few hours at a time and beat the game over and over again if it wasn't for my other obligations.  You should have no trouble losing hours in to this game.
  
   Story 6:  The "story" in this game is that Sonic has to save Amy from Metal Sonic, so it isn't exactly an "original" story (Legend of Zelda and Super Mario Bros.).  The only different thing about this story is how there isn't a "princess", and that Sonic also has to save a world while he's at it.  Whoop-De-Do.

   Depth 8:  This game is pretty long and took me a while to beat.  I also found it fun that I could go back and see how much faster I could beat the game.  The main fact that it has a points system confirms that you can do a lot in this game.

   Difficulty 3:  This game isn't all that difficult, but I did run in to a few spots that I had a little trouble on.  Nevertheless, you should still have an easy time with this game.

   Overall: 7.6:  Being the first game I ever played on the Sega CD system, I am pretty satisfied by how the game works.  This game offers a whole new spin on sonic that I didn't even know existed.  Anyone who has played a Sonic game or wants to play a Sonic game should play this game.

very nice review. This game is still one of my 5 favorite games

Awesome review and this is my second favorite sonic game.

Good review, I have always liked this game, traveling through time, collecting timestones, making good futures, the game was epic. It was an instant classic and deserves to be one. Good times, good game, good review, keep it up!

Great Review, mlb.

One of the best 2D Sonic games ever made... And the most interesting of all in my opinion. 
The Intro and Ending cutscenes are amazing! 

Keep the good work, man!

Really good review. I just bought this one with my Viz. It was definatley worth it. I spent about 10 minutes messing around in debug mode! XD

Good review but the graphics are post to be the same as sonic 1 considering Sega only used the Sega cd add on for extra cd quality audio
keep up the good work

Closing due to lol4monthbump, if you want this reopened mlb, do so.
