GAMECAMILLER fast review- Sonic CD(pc) (these types of reviews are lighting fast and just hit only the main points) overall: 8.5 Concept 10/10: When the ongoing battle between Doctor Robotnik and Sonic over the elusive and valuable Chaos Emeralds, comes to the your pc, an adventure unlike any other begins! Guide Sonic in a new quest through a mysterious world as he must learn to master time itself (with the time stones and signs) to stop Robotnik and rescue Amy (your newest friend) from the clutches of the evil doctor and his newest henchman Metal Sonic; a mechanical replication of Sonic, with unbelievable speed and power! This game is a port of the 1993 game, Sonic CD for the Sega CD system. Sound- 7/10 CD quality music.......just one problem.........lots of the tunes are very catchy....while lots are not. Some music is really good, but some just is horrible. But, almost all is forgettable. controls- 10/10 Easy to use on the keyboard or controller. Controls are easy to learn. And this game is actually playable with a keyboard. But since this was originally made for control pad use, USE a control pad. It makes the game feel right. Difficulty: Easy to Moderate overall(if you have played sonic 2d games before, you will find this game to be very easy to beat but it’ll take you a long while to master all the secrets). graphics- 8/10 Nice for the Sega CD 2d style. The sprites are colorful, and the sprite animation for the game is perfect. Replayability- 9/10 Moderate, good set of unlockables and challenges; It takes a while to unlock the secrets since every course has lots and lots of ways to finish it (even more so with the time jumps.) Time trials are always one thing that makes a game (like Sonic’s games) replayable. And, if you can get certain overall times, you get some secrets... But, then we have the fact that you can do 21 stages, and 14 of which you can do in the past, present, bad future, and good future, making in all, 61 places you can go to! Then, trying to get all the time stones, makes this a very replayable game. Entertainment 7/10 It's nice but not the best sonic game ever. Through it's longer then most 2D sonic games, it’s still easier, and with the soundtrack and (the seemingly dark style), it feels different like the other sonic games; So much so it might turn you off if you’re a sonic fan. PC (try to find the demo to play first, go to sega.com/usa to get it ) $10 or less _________________________________ NOTE THAT THIS GAME WILL NOT WORK WITH WINDOWS XP WITHOUT THE PATCH I FOUND!!!!!!! It's at sonic-cult.org (but if you can't find it there try searching on the web or asking me lol…but there is a patch out there.) and it will only work on XP with that patch. plus it must be 256 colors (just right click the program and set it to do that ) Note if your a: “young one" do not go to Sonic-Cult…it‘s for older users. ________________________________ System Requirements Your computer must meet the following system requirements to run this game.

This was one of the first games I ever played, and I have played hundreds of games and this one is still on top. The only small complaint I have is the sound. At times it can sound sketchy. I love the switching betwee... Read Full Review
