  • what sonic collections have this game other than the gems collection?

  • The reason that this game was not included in "Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection" is because this was not a Genesis game. This was for the SEGA CD even though they did include some bonus games for the Master System. This would have been interesting to have a bonus game, but I think SEGA wanted to keep this game more rare. It always has been a rare game. Sonic CD is my all time favorite Sonic game, out of the whole franchise. In my opinion the JAP/EU version of the soundtrack was better thanUS

  • And ps3 and xbox360

  • He doesn't even know about Good Futures. He lost so much of this game's depth. He also has no idea that this game is on Sonic Gems Collection. You need to learn this stuff before reviews man. But, he did admit that he sucked at it, so I guess its okay.

  • Like a delorien doing circles in a parking lot, genious.

  • Don't forget that Sonic CD is also on GameCube through Sonic Gems Collection.

  • I love playing this on my iPod. But it's difficult for me to say the very least. Or maybe I'm just terrible at playing it. :P

  • The Sega CD didn't have the best library--but Sonic CD, Rise of the Dragon, Final Fight CD, Sega Arcade 5 in 1, SimEarth, Eternal Champions, Shining CD, and the far superior versions of the Ecco games were among their greatest efforts as a first-party (Phantasy Star 4 was originally made for the CD as well). There were a few good third-party games, namely the Lunar series, Robo Aleste, Soul Star, Snatcher, EA Sports and Earthworm Jim. Plus, it was also a CD player, the first for many kids.

  • Is there super or hyper sonic?

  • R.I.P. MARK.

  • It's on the iOS (iPhone iPod touch iPad) and I think it's on Psn and xbla the iOS is more complete though

  • gotta love pcm tunes

  • hate how the sonic boom music isnt on the XBLA version of this =(

  • @kingshott1 it is, just change the soundtrack from jp to us

  • @keybladeninja2010 yeah realised about 5 mins after i posted that comment, made me feel like a bit of an idiot =P haha

  • The UK/JAP version soundtrack is much better than the USA soundtrack imo, the jap/euro music was a bonus i got in the collectors edition of sonic generations.

  • This review made me buy this on XBLA it's awesome :D Got all the achievements now so happy! This was a sonic game I never played as a kid so it was a new sonic game (For me) from back when sonic was good!

  • @sweetcatastrophes90 I think Sonic is still good. All of the handheld games have been good; the Sonic RPG by Bioware, Smash Bros Brawl with Sonic, Sonic's Ultimate Collection, Sega and Sonic Racing, Sonic 4, and Sonic Colors and Sonic Generations are great. The Rush games are Sonic at his best. I'll admit that there were about four years of relatively bad console games, and none of the games since the 16-bit era are quite the same, but it's not exactly a series that's dead.

  • How come that special stage looks a lot like the beach level in baloon fight on SNES Mario Kart?

  • luigi has a bad side cosmic luigi

  • This gameis GREAT exept for one major problem but I'm not going to say what it is because I dont want to offend a sertan type of people... ah F@#$ it but Im going to censorer it Amy F@#$%^& Rose I F@#$%^& HATE THAT B@#$% I F@#$%^& HATE HER SO MUCH AND ALL WHO ARE FANS OF THAT B@#$% F@#$ YOU ALL F@#$ YYYYYYYYYYYYYYOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUU­!!!

    25Min. later

    Sorry for that anyways F@#$ you sonamy fans ah... go SonSal ah... see you later

  • @mbt96 you're 12

  • @CyOrion I'm 15 A@#$%^&

  • the music sounds so unfitting

  • Sonic CD is hard to find. There is only three formats i can find the game. There is one for the PC, Nintendo Game Cube, and Now Xbox 360 has it for a download for the arcade. I have the Sega CD version but it's scratched up and the system is broke. The Sega CD systems break was to easy and that's what i hate about the system add on. It would be nice if someone made a retro Sega CD system that can play the Sega dreamcast back to the first Sega CD.

  • @CloudTheTank I would adore one of those and you could emulate Genesis/Megadrive, Master System and Gamegear and most likely 32x from a DC so you would be SEGASET.

  • you can buy sonic cd on the playtatio 3 store

  • @ballplus12 You can NOW, not at the time this review was released though. But yeah, worth mentioning that it's also now on XBLA and Steam.

  • Comment removed

  • @deathviper321 Every sonic game is better than sonic 06.

  • jeez, the US music is really creepy o_o

  • @kitfaaace Yeah,our boss music is freaky O.O

  • i searched "worst sidescroling platformer" & this was the 1st. No joke. HOW COULD YOU DO THIS?!

  • @MegaBigboi55 you typed it in bing didn't you?

  • 22 people suck dick

  • the past music is more bad ass because it was from the original japanese version, thats why i love the re release. gotta have all of that jap soundtrack

  • this is an alright game, going to the past and destroying the animal robotosisers or whatever they are in an attempt for the good ending and good futures. or ignore that and have it all bad future and bad ending

  • My biggest complain of all was that they didn't include that one on the sonic's ultimate collection,but they released it now on DLC on psn! Why? because they wait for us to take the bait.Its not so expansive because they sell this for 5 dollars as i remember correctly,but you cannot name a sertain collection ultimate collection by the time that there's not that sonic game on the disc,not even as unlocable.They have include altered beast and not sonic cd?

  • Its number one on PSN network now to

  • i believe your information is inaccurate on its rarity its on sonic gems collection which can be got for the gamecube and various other consoles i think and a enhanced version was just recently put on steam for the pc however i beilive finding a older version for the sega cd console would be rather difficult

  • @urollx No Sonic Gems is only for the Gamecube. And this review was written 2 years before the enhanced version you mentioned came out. However, Sonic Gems isn't that hard to get if you you have a Gamecube (Or Wii), so yeah Sonic CD really wasn't that rare even then.

  • @Bonzardo A little correction about Sonic Gems, it is not Gamecube only, it's also avaible for the PS2, but it just came out only for Japan and Europe.

  • Seth Rogen did this review lol

  • Most overrated Sonic game ever. There is some fun to be had for sure, but it can't touch Sonic 1,2, 3 and Knuckles. The level design is atrocious, it takes all the motivation to explore the zones away. I also don't like having to travel back in time each stage and the spin dash sucks. Good music, mostly good graphics are the positives.

  • @Number1StarSB Sonic 2 is the best sonic that game keeps you on your toes and challenges you the whole game and will take many countless hours of gaming to master the emerald runs and unlock super sonic which is a big help in the later levels though you still have to master the last two bosses.

  • @Number1StarSB As every professional critic will tell you, the level design is by far the best in the series. No one makes you explore the levels or go back in time. The levels are simply the largest and most intricate in the series, with almost no pitfalls and endless scoring possibilities. While trying to build up enough speed to travel through time does involve more problem solving than just holding forward, if it's too complicated for you; you can always play the game like the others.

  • @EkajTheSwordsman You make me laugh. Many people like me can collect all the time stones and still think the level design is the worst in the series. This game is a mess plain and simple. I am glad people enjoy it because I am a fan of Sonic and it adds to his prestige. Anyways Sonic 3 and Knuckles has by far the best level design in the series from my point of view.

  • @Number1StarSB You failed to understand my comment. You don't need to explore the levels. If that is your main problem, it is a weak argument. Your use of generic, emotional generalizations like "a mess" ruins your credibility; you simply dislike the game because it is different from the Genesis titles. Game Informer, OXM, IGN, Nintendo Power, GamesRadar and more have stated that Sonic CD has the best level design in the series. Too bad morons don't get to be major critics.

  • @EkajTheSwordsman Your moron ass will always be a basement critic. There is no flow in the game what so ever. "I want to explore the levels" is what I said, but lose all will because of the crap level design. The only Sonic title that I absolutely cringe at staying in an act any longer then I have to. Your right though this game was great and smash hit for the Sega CD....

  • @Number1StarSB You're still too emotional to look at things objectively. Find a professional critic who argees with you. Otherwise, your opinion is subjective and invalid.

  • @Number1StarSB Sonic CD is an alternate version of Sonic 2. The Genesis release is superior in every way. There isn't even a super sonic transformation in sonic cd.

  • @Luigi84289 I agree Sonic 2 is far superior. So are Sonic 1 and 3&Knuckles. I thank god Sega CD got the crappy game because it's a crappy add-on.

  • @Number1StarSB fuck you bro sonic cd rox

  • @Luigi84289 Actually, Sonic CD is a completely different game and has more in common with the first Sonic, which also had no Super Sonic. Super Sonic not being in there is an invalid reason to dislike the game. You might have nostalgia for Sonic 2, but it's clearly the glitchiest and most rushed game of the early Sonic titles. By the way, I think there are worse Sonic games than 06.

  • i have this on xbox and its really good, only problem is i'm stuck lol

  • I don't get it.Why is this the best Sonic game?!

  • @MegaKid1999 'cause it rocks!

  • @MegaKid1999 Because of the "feel" it has. Time travelling adds a lot to the game. You can either explore or dash through. Saving the future on every level makes it feel very special - seeing how depending on you the future is bright and pretty or dark, dirty and depressing.

    The European/Japanese version has a STELLAR soundtrack to it where past and future themes are great remixes of the present songs. And the levels are HUGE. It's like taking Sonic 2 and upping it to N.

    Magnificent

  • Omg. I laughed so hard at the Luigi arranged marriage.

  • I was not big on the music or sound in this one... ehh just not all that great ,,, to me any way

  • Sonic CD is on everything now, even on phones :O

  • Update: He's top on PSN as well now!

  • ok 1>where you drunk when you made this review? the game is pure shite. 2> this came out between sonic 1 and sonic 3 somewhere, no one is really sure where, so obviously it wont have 3d gamers hadnt even thought of it till a couple of years later. 3> the reason its not on ps2 is because theres 2 sonic collections and you picked up the wrong one. that and it sold very poorly. barely scratching sega cd sales.

  • @kawrght

    1. He drinks, but he never makes reviews while drunk.

    2. Pure Shit? GTFO

  • @RickRoller90001 EVERY level is a remix of the other sonic games, the music (sept the intro outro and final boss...sorta)are crap. nothing as memorable as the cartridge games, and the whole thing feels like a mario game and not a sonic game. however the sonic cd on the xbox live and ps marketplace looks vastly improved on the origional if thats the one your familer with.

  • What the hell, why smash Luigi? lmao

  • I personally found this game rather creepy and confusing as a child, but I'm still looking for it now.

  • now on steam, I love this game.

  • lol bttf reference

  • Just downloaded it into my phone :) Awesome game!

  • @Fredrik2012 Me too, I'd like to add that the Dpad emulation for the touchscreen is the best i've seen for any 2D game.

  • Wanted a Sega CD just for this game and now it's on XBOX live. I think the worlds ending because their releasing tons of games this year.

  • Sonic The Hedgehog BluRay will be the greatest game ever released.

  • IS IT JUST ME OR DOES THIS GUY SOUNDS JUST LIKE SETH ROGAN

  • If you like the music in the past levels, play the Japanese version.

    The present and future are even better versions of the same song.

  • Sonic CD was put on the Sonic Gems Collection for gamecube....

  • SONIC CD NOW ON STEAM!!!

  • "that's right,you've been moved backwards and forwards in time like a dalorean doing circles in a parking lot." lol

  • OR get windows 95

  • Damn you Luigi!

  • 6:36 OH WHAT A PITY!! 1 second slower and you would have lived!

  • i remember playing the sonic collection on my ps2 when i was a kid

  • Hey If u still have the PS3 and u have a PSN account, go to PS Store and u can get Sonic CD for $4.99

  • Mark's version of the story would have made an awesome Mario and Sonic crossover game

  • 88 miles per hour!!!

  • And there's also another soundtrack to sonic cd which you did not say in the video it's called the japanese version and if any of know this mark guy tell him about the Japanese soundtrack and tell him he to review it. It is available in the apple app store which makes it more easy to find and it also has the us soundtrack (which was in this video but I still like this video. It makes ME want to put out a reiview for sonic cd but only with the Japanese soundtrack which in my opinion the Japanese

  • Luigi is forever alone.

  • Now is available to download at XBLA! go for itttttttttttttttt :-)

  • I love CGR, but for some cosmic reason I've always hated the the opening music for the videos. It's not important, but I just felt like saying it.

  • Been playing the fuck out of this game on my phone!

  • LOOK AT SONICS HAND YOU WILL DIE

  • i remember the sonic gems collection which include: sonic cd, sonic the fighters, sonic racing sonic the headgehog 2, sonic spinnball, sonice the headgehog tripple trouble, sonic drift 2 tails skypatrol and tails adventure

  • @eacy7deacy Yeah Sonic Gems is Gamecube only. I found it the other day for five bucks and Sonic CD is the best thing on it. The other games are cool but I'm not sure "gems" is the right way to describe them. That being said, It is nice to have the game gear titles on the big screen since the SMS ports are expensive and my GG is a piece of broke down crap.

  • Just downloaded for mah iPad! And I love it!

  • JP/EU Version > NA.

  • The Sonic CD Game Over sound creeps me out

  • This game is much better on the xperia play than ios devices. An actual d-pad helps a lot

  • the sound is 16-bit 44.1 khz, bye bye quantization error

  • too bad AVGN doesn't like Sega CD.

  • @grim10fire WHAT?

  • @Bluenuhvok765 Angry Video Game Nerd look it up at our very youtube. Very awesome guy.

  • @grim10fire No, I know AVG. He's epic, and I agree.

    I'm just saying "WHAT" to the "Doesn't like Sega CD" part, I read it as Sonic CD at the time. xD But now I remember seeing one of his episodes where he complimented it, so... Sorry. lol

  • @Bluenuhvok765 I'm actually 10 and stuff. I got bored of new gen console they always break like shit, then I found a Genesis plus 32x and CD add-ons fucking awesome.

  • @grim10fire >10 years old

    >new gen consoles always break like shit

    >CD add-ons are fucking awesome

    why

  • @Bluenuhvok765 y u r mocking me? I met Sega 32x and Sega CD. My Nintendo Wii breaks in 3 months, XBOX 360 I got banned for 12/31/9999, PS3 gets hacked everytime. And my Sega Dreamcast is still in tip-top shape (means good).

  • @grim10fire No. I'm talking about the profanity. You're only ten.

  • @Bluenuhvok765 awful lot of kids use that language. my little brother is only ten. His trolling with my account.

  • Lunar 1&2 alone are enough to make the Sega CD's library better than the 32x's.

  • the pinball boss pissed me off so much as a kid...

    and he still pisses me off now >:(

  • The put this one the xbox live store so now you can find it easily

  • @lunchmuncher2 I have an XBox, but since I just recently got a PS3 for Christmas and a $50 for it, I'm downloading it for the PS3 right now. And after reading the below comment, I can't wait for it to finish downloading!

  • The ps3 release came out! It's a wonderful remastered version of Sonic CD with the addition of "Tails" as the hidden character. It has to be reviewed soon before another reviewer does!!

  • Damn, this guy is witty. If he had a British accent it would complete the package.

  • oh god the opening! I tortured my brother with that when I was little.

  • Words cannot express how much I love that US opening FMV and theme. Amazing.

  • now on 360! lol

  • "cough" "cough" Super Paper Mario "cough" xD well we all know from that game luigi or.. "Mr.L" is one of the cool bad guys

  • It's now on Xbox(!

  • This game is great for 2 reasons... the Wacky Workbench and Stardust Speedway levels.. probably the best levels of any Sonic game

  • @ColonyWarrior Stardust Speedway is absolutely amazing. I think Wacky Workbench can be frustrating, however.

  • This game is on xbox360 and ps3 i beat this game when i was like 10 years old and am glad to find it again for only 5bucks

  • I AM MUHAMMAD FROM QATAR, JK

  • O come on who dosen't like the opening music.

  • Damn it Luigi why?

  • @SONICBOYREBORN234 Its just that she can't get it through her skull her voice is also annoying.

  • Yeah, um... thats not sonic's girlfriend. That's Amy Rose a anoying hedgehog who DOSE NOT GET THAT SONIC HATES HER PLUS AMY HAS THE WORST VOICE IT HURTS MY EARS.

  • @shadowdreamcast If that wasn't a fanbrat rant, I don't know what is XD

    She's just because she refered as Sonic's girlfriend, doesn't mean they are offical. If Sonic truely hated her, he would have said so already. Don't get your panties in a knot XD

  • Just to say that Sega has now made this game more publicly accessible with Sonic Gems Collection and the iOS version. But a true Sonic fan should get the original copy, in my opinion.

  • The reason why you like the 'past' music tracks best is because they are the only Japanese tracks included in the US version of the game. The Japanese version of the game includes awesome music for all 4 time zones! Great review, best one for this game I've seen on the web.

  • This review is awesome. Just about to pick this up on PSN!

  • @stingwings u should!!!

  • Sonic CD is now Number 1 on iPad charts! Look for yourself!

  • @PrrrromotionGiven Sonic cd was re-released for 360 and PS3 and PC not only iPad.

  • @madman18able I know, I have it for 360, but it's nowhere near the top of XBLA or PSN ratings, which is what I was getting at.

  • @PrrrromotionGiven Its about damn time someone re-released this gem!

  • @PrrrromotionGiven And now it's GONE! I wonder how that happened.

    All the overly nostalgic fans grabbed it up when it came out then it became immediately forgotten again? I think so!

  • @PrrrromotionGiven Got It I Love IT

  • @PrrrromotionGiven What about android?

  • @PrrrromotionGiven yups, i got it when they had it for $1.99. and the controls work great, i actually got the bad ending. The game is sort of short.

  • The laughing u hear when u reach a game over creeps me the fuck out!!!

  • I was having so much fun until stardust speedway 3. The level level makes me so frustrated I want to snap my iPad in half

  • This is now out on iOS and Android for 2 bucks! GO BUY IT!

  • love sonic cd bought it on psn store ^_^ also got sonic 1 & 2 sonic adventures and sonic 4 episode 1

  • I think the Music of Japanese version is even better.

    However, the XBLA version missed this song.

  • @thmalex change it to english and go to main menu wait and this song will show

  • @InfernoInstinct The Japanese song vocal is missing in the XBLA version. However the English vocal still exists.

  • Great review. I am gonna download it on the XBLA tonight since its only $5. I have never played Sonic CD, so I am pretty excited to check it out, and holy crap the music in this game is awesome.

  • Its on Sonic gems collection Playstation 2, Xbox and Gamecube im sure.. Under rated game!! Sonic Cd is a classic.. I still own my original Mega Cd mark 1 with slide out disk tray. "Sega Ages" 

  • I remember that the ''Game Over'' and ''Drowning'' musics are very creepy in the Sonic CD game

  • NOW ON XBOX PS3 and IPOD !!! :D

  • that boss music is so disterbrbing cause im 9 that MUSIC IS THE WORST

  • I miss my Mega CD

  • The GAME OVER sequence is creepy

  • The opening theme is the best music in the game imo.

  • Sonic CD is the best game of Sonic franchise, and one of the best 2D platformers ever.

  • I wish gamestop was like the old school funcoland. funcoland had current AND past systems from back in the day. They had LISTS on the counter of all the games and systems in the stores it, was an adventure to see what you can find, and it was fun shopping there. Now at GameStop I want to get in and get out as soon as humanly possible...

  • i found this game very easily when i found a copy of Sonic Gems Collection that had this game in it on the shelf at gamestop

  • I just found a sega cdx with sonic cd CIB mortal Kombat CIB Jeopardy CIB gunstar heroes zombies ate my neighbors road rash 2 two contollers all the hook ups and even more games for $100.00 at my local pawn shop....I bought it. :)

  • I'm a die hard sonic fan, and i say, this is the worst 2D sonic game. Nothing compares to sonic 3 it is amazing.

  • sonic gems has sonic cd on it

  • I always found the Metal Sonic race to be absurdly difficult compared to the rest of the game. Luckily Sega realized this and put a 1-up screen at the beginning of the boss stage.

  • I actually thought of "Sonic Blu-ray" one of these days!! That is a strange coincidence...

  • damn i havent seen this game is so long i loved it as a kid

  • Yeah, it's awesome, they're actually putting Sonic CD on Xbox Live, and it's a game on the iPad as well, as from I heard.

  • Just buy Sonic Gems Collection for 13 bucks, or wait for the new version with both soundtracks and smoother graphics in 16:9.

  • LOL Luigi Kidnapping Amy Rose XD!

  • I'm sure there are easier ways to finding this game, but it was also available for the PC (it was also included as a pack-in game for Packard Bell PCs in the US)

  • @spscotto Sonic Gems for GCN/PS2 had this on it. I wish Knuckles Chaotix got a rerelease on one of these collections.

  • @jvdthwip Oh I know, Knuckles Chaotix was one of the absolute best Sonic games around! I never owned a 32X, but I was lucky enough to play it at my cousin's house, since he got it and a few games after Sega started slashing prices
