Sonic CD

I just finished Sonic CD on Android. I have been a huge Sonic fan ever since I was four years old. I had been wanting to play this game for quite some time, but I have a migraine problem because of which I am unable to play mobile games which have a virtual gamepad. This time however, I was determined to try this for once and get over my pain to see what happens. I did manage to beat this game with a bad ending, and although my head hurt a lot, I am now proud to say that I have played every single classic Sonic game in existence.

This game is probably the only evidence that Sonic is faster than The Flash, as we need to build up speed if we have to travel to the past or future. It is a bit difficult though, since there are so many obstacles coming in your way when you are on higher levels. One thing I really find annoying in classic Sonic games is that the game wants us to run fast, and then punishes us for doing the same. The touchscreen of the phone was also very unresponsive and that caused me to lose unnecessarily more number of times than I'd be willing to admit.

Sonic CD is something of a case study for SEGA developers. It does not have any customisable characters, or even a lot of characters for that matter. It introduced two characters who have now become a major part of Sonic's lore. The cutscenes, the quality - everything about this game is perfect. If you're new to Sonic the Hedgehog, I'd recommend you to definitely try it once.

This PC CD-ROM and Sega CD game is graphically like the Sega Genesis games, but it has an awesome CD soundtrack with "new fangled" music. If you're looking for a revolutionary Sonic game, try this (it's included with Sonic Gems Collection for GameCube). It was sorely overlooked. Your new enemy is Metal Sonic, as well as Dr. Robotnik/Eggman. The underwater-type zone is still there. It's called Tidal Tempest. One of the boss levels (in the Collison Chaos zone) is reminiscent of Sonic Spinball. The PC version doesn't work with any OS over Windows 98. But if your old junker still has got that, give this one a try. It's really worth it.

Sonic CD is the best sonic the hedgehog game of all time. as much as the console/add-on it was made for stank like 3 week old cheeseburger, but out from manure grows beautiful flowers.

In this game, we are introduced to Amy rose/princess sally, who is kidnapped by metal sonic. so sonic has to rescue her, and destroy something known as the death egg. along the way, sonic picks up time stones which send him back in time, back to when the zone was primitive, and the future stones, which take him to the future, whether it be a good future, or a future in which Robotnik/Eggman rules the zone.

This game is considered by screwattack.com to be the best sonic game of all time, and rightfully so. according to them, "Sonic CD takes everything you like about sonic 1 and 2, and gave them upgrades." and later on states "It's just like super paper Mario, but 15 years Earlier!"

So trust me, if you have a gamecube, a sega CD, or a PC, get a hold of this game. you'll be thanking me when you're done.

Playing Sonic CD on the iPad recalls the glory years of the Genesis releases; four great games that were effectively simple, yet complex to master. While this game may be unfairly segregated for originating on the ill-fated Sega CD, it is rightfully a part of the blue hedgehog's early legacy.

Animated cut scenes detail the opening and endings of the game (which differs based on whether Sonic collects the seven 'time stones'), which sets CD apart from others of its ilk. There is such a diverse palette here that each new area offers something new, yet all the Sonic staples - springs, spikes, item monitors - remain accounted for. Controls are replicated simply on the iPad via a D-Pad and Jump button on the bottom of your screen; these respond well, even to sloppy contact, and they never get in the way of the action (though there may be a small learning curve for those accustomed to a classic controller).

A charming blend of visuals from the original classic and gameplay advances from the sequel, CD's development history is surrounded by speculation and Sega's own corporate affairs at the time. What is noteworthy about CD now, in 2011, is that despite being an early entry in the franchise it features a gameplay mechanic that perhaps remains the series' most innovative. Utilising time travel, Sonic can move back and forth between past, present and future within each level and change the course of time. This results in differences that alter the challenge, for example increasing difficulty in a 'bad future' where neglected machinery presents a greater threat. This introduces the player to numerous variations on each and every zone, adding a tremendous amount of replay value. The boss battles are amongst the most memorable of the side-scrollers; there's a good reason why the climax of the penultimate level, a nerve-wracking race over slopes and spikes against Sonic's own doppleganger, was recreated in the recent 'Sonic Generations'.

Having been re-released across multiple platforms by a Sega promoting the game's events as a prequel to 'Sonic the Hedgehog 4', there is no excuse not to have played this terrific entry in Sega's flagship property.
