Sonic CD for the 360 and PS3 is probably the greatest port for any Genesis game. Not done by Backbone, instead it was done by a super fan that Sega gave a chance to make this port and the result is excellent. Perfect translation, perfect sound, great features. It offers both the English and Japanese soundtracks (Japanese so much better). This is my least favorite of the old school Sonics because the level design feels like it was made by drunk 10 year olds. You go right, left, up, down, with no real direction. There is random shit all over the place, some levels are just springs going in every direction. It does not have the refinement of any of the Genesis Sonic games. What makes Sonic CD different is a time travel mechanic that allows you to travel back to the past or future. This changes the levels basically creating 3 versions of all stages. To get the best endings you have to travel to the past and look for generators to destroy which then gives you a good future. Its nice to have something to look for but again with such crazy levels its hard to find anything. I rather have the game just focus on platforming. There is still enough classic Sonic to still be very fun. Speed running the game is a thrill. If you try to get all emeralds and get the good future there is plenty of content. Sonic fans will not be disappointed, especially those that love this game, this is one amazing port. |
