THE GOOD:
Good graphics for a Sonic game, nice new moves, traveling through time, that's cool, being capable of changing your own destiny, symbolic. Some new and fresh idea's, good music, but not superior to the Japanese version. Replay value is nice. An ok save feature. Some level designs were neat.

THE BAD:
The game over teasing is just wrong and mean. It took me only 4 hours to beat the game. Somewhat depressing when I got bad futures the first time I played. Some of the bosses looked sort of lame. Some of the level obstacles didn't agree with Sonic's speed.

SUMMARY:
Alright, let me break it down for you. This, wasn't the Sonic game that could give me that fresh new feeling of a brand spaken new way of playing Sonic. Don't get me wrong, it had some new and cool features for me, the whole going into the levels past and future thing was nice, but it didn't excite me like I thought it would. It's graphics were great, I loved how they gave certain area's some 3D volume. If you didn't get good futures the game becomes depressing and sad, and it almost just scares you into getting every good future. The game over is just terrible, other then the horrific music it desplayed to depress you, it threw in some taunting laughing of Robotnick and other voices, which really pisses you off. The last level was pretty nice, it takes you back to the first Sonic games style of Robotnicks fotresses. The second to last zone was probably the pinacle of Sonic CD, the Sonic vs Metal Sonic fight was great. The final boss is lame though, very simple, challenging, but simple looking and lame looking, as well as the music being the same as the regular boss music. All in all I'd have to say this is an ok game, I just don't agree with the fact that Sega CD tries to recreate Sonic The Hedgehog 1 through this game, Sonic 1 is it's own, and should always remain it's own, it shouldn't be recreated through other games. It's special in it's own way becuz Sonic The Hedgehog 1's style will only agree with Sonic The Hedgehog 1.

My advice to you, try out the game before you buy it, not saying you shouldn't buy it, but everyones opinions are different. I'm keeping it, like I said, it's an ok game, but not great.
