![]() backtracking and exploration is required to find sign posts to get the chaos emeralds in Sonic 2, which can occasionally be frustrating too yet people say this is a poor choice for the levels in sonic CD. I can name multiple levels that have a good design, palmtree panic has a bunch of speed sections to where you can go fast (if you wanted to), tons to explore and interaction and honestly just because the game requires exploring to find past and future signs to time travel does NOT make it a bad game by any means, in all honesty. And the reason some stages are bad could be due to the fact that it was in development at the same time as sonic 2, And the teams were split one in Japan to work on CD and one in the US to work on sonic 2 In CDs defense, most of the level designs are NOT bad at all. This game has some of the best quality when it comes to how the songs sound and the OST in general of the classic series games, around on par I’d say with Sonic 3 & Knuckles! An Interesting Thing I Find about the Soundtrack is How The JP/EU one Is heavily inspired by the New Jack Swing genre, with the US one being more rock themed. Tidal Tempest, Palmtree Panic, Stardust Speedway, and even Wacky Workbench all sound amazing in both soundtracks and fit the levels well. Both the US and JP/EU soundtracks have their own good tracks, a lot of them manage to fit the levels. The soundtrack fits the levels perfectly for the most part, and sounds like something you’d expect in a sonic game. In the Present one can see a beautiful starry sky with the ground below covered in sparkling colors of stardust, in the good future one can see amusement parks and a city sparkling in bright colors and in the Bad Future it’s storming and a huge city that is well detailed and beautiful to look at. A good example of the backgrounds is in Stardust Speedway. The stages each have incredible detail to their backgrounds as well as objects and badnik designs. ![]() ![]() The graphics are quite beautiful for a game from the early 90’s, Sonic CD was released on the Sega CD which is a less known console but this allowed it to go above and beyond with the graphics. With the time travel mechanic, the game is able to have different layouts of each zone, with the past having a super natural somewhat pre-historic feel and look to it, and the futures can show a robotic nightmarish neglected dystopia ruled by Eggman, or a BEAUTIFUL place where technology aids nature which can be seen as a deeper message to helping the environment, with the graphics taking advantage of the Sega CD’s capabilities. Dr Robotnik is trying to take over the planet and Sonic is followed by star-struck fan Amy Rose who gets kidnapped by Metal Sonic. The game revolves around Sonic traveling to Little Planet for a vacation when he sees it has been chained to Never Lake with a metallic shell around it. The games story is very well written and pieced together, It is perhaps one of the best storylines of the classic era games even! (NOTE: To those who actually dont like SA1 or 2, or CD Thats oki :3 I respect your opinion!) And in My Own Opinion, a game being overrated as I've seen people say with SA1 and SA2, colors, and even mania, and CD nowadays doesn't necessarily make a game bad. It seems Kind of Like what happened to SA1 and 2 to me Of People flipflopping Opinions When big youtubers Start criticizing a Well Received Game expressing their own well written opinions and some people not giving the game a chance Which sort of Happened With Sonic Adventure in the Early 2010’s. It was still a REALLY GOOD game, among the rank of Sonic 2. Honestly I'd say although this is not the BEST SONIC GAME EVER as a lot of people used to say, and a big portion of the fanbase said it was and does have it’s mega flaws. ![]() Magazines such asĮlectronic Gaming Monthly's March 2001 issue stating it to be one of the best games in the 2D franchise, as a lot of love was given to it by fans and even received a 100% by some critics in the original version, which at the time was the HIGHEST rating for sonic games, even higher than the other ones. Sonic CD A complete retrospective & why it isn't a terrible game (review and rant):įor some reason, a lot of hate seems to be growing on Sonic CD, despite it being highly praised initially by fans, critics, and a lot of people loved it.
