Sonic CD was a bit part of my childhood. I used to play it all the time on my old computer. I never owned a Genesis or a Sega CD so that was one of the few Sonic games I owned. I have to say playing it now? It hasn't aged well but still has a lot of charm.

I often hear this get touted as "The best Sonic game ever." I have to respectively disagree there. Its indeed a solid game but has its fair share of flaws. For one the level design in places of just...bad. Full of cheap enemies and hazards you couldn't possibly see coming. And honestly it ruins the pace of some levels. And two is the time travel mechanic, while a novel idea it honestly kind of falls flat. It makes you have to back track and play a scavenger hunt to get a good ending, I feel that's not what a Sonic game should be but that's just me. Though the bonus stages can elevate that.

On the plus side that game has one thing in spades and that's presentation and I think that's what a lot of people remember. From the amazing music to the well animated FMVs, this game is an experience. The levels are very creative and diverse and the boss fights with Robotnik are also very unique and memorable if a bit on the easy side.

Overall I feel the game is a bit more style over substance but its in no way a bad game. Just..when compared to other Sonic games like Sonic 3 it just doesn't hold up, though still a very solid entry in the series.

Not a bad review, but not a good one. You explained some aspects of the game, but not others. Try talking about the main categories of the game, the graphics, sound, addictiveness, story, depth, and difficulty. Not a bad review, but it could be better.

ilkied this game but didnt find it any better then the rest of the sonic series. thanks for taking the time to post.
