Well today was the first time i ever played Sonic CD which ive heard from MANY people that its arguably THEE BEST sonic game ever created. I go into this one hopes VERY high and it delivers the first couple levels. i then found myself getting a bit frustrated with all the annoying "Hidden" springs that launch me into spikes or into another direction i am running. every time this happened i imagined an asian guy at a computer saying....man this spring in THIS SPOT is sure gonna piss somebody off....well buddy you did a damn good job....jerk.
The game starts off typical as always but with Amy being kidnapped by Metal Sonic. So you need to rescue her of course....now theres new stuff in this game that ive never seen in a sonic game. You have the ability to travel between Past, Present, and the Future. you go to the past to Bust some of Robotnik's shit to fix the future. every level has quite a few of these little street lamp thingies and you use them to travel to where the sign says, Past or Future. This is where the best of the game stands out....and this is where it pisses me off the most. not only is it rather difficult to travel in between times in later stages, it requires lots of back tracking to time travel etc to destroy shit and make the future "Good". i honestly ignored this WHOLE concept of the game and did what i knew best and thats RUN RUN RUN. Towards the end of the game the level design begins to really take a toll on your psyche....i wanted to break something on the Metal Sonic boss fight and almost every level after that. There were only 2 or 3 left after that though so it wasnt ALL that bad. Once i finished the game i got a huge TRY AGAIN screen because i didnt fix the future.....well F*ck your future im not replaying it.
Now enough complaining about it lets point out the good....its f*ckin SONIC MAN...so thats already a plus. its got the spin dashing and turbo running youve come to know and love. the beginning level swere amazing, the soundtrack is great. after you beat the game you unlock Tails. Theres a Time Attack mode, if you enjoyed the backtracking and time travel im sure youd have no issue replaying to get the good future....heck even the Collect the Chaos Emeralds...but i doubt i will, ill prolly play this game again once LinkG07 comes over and i say...hey bud wanna beat Sonic CD for me :D.
So to end it if your a sonic fan YES YES YES PLEASE play Sonic CD its a MUST....even if you end up not liking it at least you can say youve beaten Sonic CD.
On a scale 1-10 with my personal time with the game i give it a 7.
Its an amazing sonic game with a NEW way thats never been seen and actually done well, but for people used to going FAST FAST FAST, you like me wont enjoy the full potential of this Gem.
