Sega CD - Sonic CD

Believe it or not, I had never heard of the Sega CD system until it came to vizzed.  When I decided to play this game, it opened me to a new world of sonic I had never seen, as I had only played Generations and DX.  Sonic CD was released in 1993 by sega, and was the third sonic game released.  In this game, you meet two new characters in the form of Amy Rose and Metal Sonic.  During the game, Amy gets caught by Metal Sonic and has to be saved by Sonic himself.  Also included in this game is the time travel system.  The four different types of time in the game change the level entirely while you play it.  This allows for a whole new dimension of gaming sonic fans had never experienced.
   
   Graphics 6:  The graphics in this game are bad, but compared to the system, they are pretty average.  The graphics from the Sega CD seem to be rough for all games, but some are smoother than others.  A plus for the graphics in this game comes from how they can change depending on what "time period" you are in.  This allows for graphical variation not seen in other games.
   
   Sound 7:  The sounds in this game are pretty good, but sometimes they can get repetitive.  For example, you might think that the jumping and coin collecting sounds are good, until you hear them enough times that you have to turn the volume all the way down on your computer.r  The music in this game, on the other hand, is very good and helps out the sound department.

   Addictiveness 8:  This being my first time playing an older sonic game, I think this is rated a little low compared to others' opinions.  With that said though, I would be willing to sit down for a few hours at a time and beat the game over and over again if it wasn't for my other obligations.  You should have no trouble losing hours in to this game.
   
   Story 6:  The "story" in this game is that Sonic has to save Amy from Metal Sonic, so it isn't exactly an "original" story (Legend of Zelda and Super Mario Bros.).  The only different thing about this story is how there isn't a "princess", and that Sonic also has to save a world while he's at it.  Whoop-De-Do.

   Depth 8:  This game is pretty long and took me a while to beat.  I also found it fun that I could go back and see how much faster I could beat the game.  The main fact that it has a points system confirms that you can do a lot in this game.

   Difficulty 3:  This game isn't all that difficult, but I did run in to a few spots that I had a little trouble on.  Nevertheless, you should still have an easy time with this game.

   Overall: 7.6:  Being the first game I ever played on the Sega CD system, I am pretty satisfied by how the game works.  This game offers a whole new spin on sonic that I didn't even know existed.  Anyone who has played a Sonic game or wants to play a Sonic game should play this game.

Sonic CD Description: Sonic the Hedgehog and his self-proclaimed girlfriend Amy Rose travel to Never Lake, only to discover the legendary Little Planet there, tied in chains and covered by metal. It appears that Sonic's archenemy, Dr. Eggman, is using the powers of the planet in order to manipulate the fabric of time. He created Sonic's evil counterpart, Metal Sonic, who kidnaps Amy and disappears. Now the brave hedgehog must explore the Little Planet, collect seven jewels capable of altering the passage of time, free Amy, and defeat Metal Sonic along with his master.

Sonic CD is a fast-paced side-scrolling platform action game, similar in gameplay to other installments of the series. Sonic uses his patented spin attacks to destroy the doctor's minions, and collects various items, such as protective rings, shields, and speed shoes. His special attacks include the Spin Dash and the Super Peel Out. A stand-out gameplay feature of this installment is Sonic's ability to travel to past and future versions of the stages he traverses. Depending on the player's action in the past version of a level, the future versions (which contain obligatory boss enemies) will change from "bad" to "good", having more or less enemies and obstacles, respectively.

Time Stones can be collected by completing special stages, in which Sonic has to shoot UFOs within an allotted time limit. The game's "good" ending can be achieved either by collecting all the seven Time Stones, or by turning all future level versions into "good". The game has features that take advantage of the CD format such as CD audio, video clips, and more levels (over fifty in total).
