    Sega have succeeded in adding just enough tweaks and extras to convert the unconvinced.

    It's still worth going back to see where [Little Spiky's] come from. [March 2012, p.103]

    This version of Sonic CD made by Christian Whitehead is simple the best one. It has 60 frames per second, 16:9 wide-screen, HD pixel filters, there are two types of spin-dash, you can choose the soundtrack you like more, every theme is perfectly looped . The special stages has been improved as well, it supports leader-boards and trophies and it's only 5$. It feels retro, nostalgic, but not outdated I recommend it to every gamer who likes platform games.… Expand

    This is easily the most underrated Sonic game of all time and would be Sonics crowning achievement if it wasn't for Sonic 2 in my opinion. Either way this is unmissable for fans of Sonic and great 2D platformers.… Expand

    Sonic CD has been ported spectacularly to the current day consoles. The controls are tighter than ever, the graphics are crisp and scroll as smooth as butter, there is both the American and Japanese soundtrack to choose from and the whole game has been perfectly upscaled for modern displays. It's coder Christian Whitehead did a perfect job and even outstripped the original. That said, however, I have never been overly keen on Sonic CD. In my opinion, the stages are far too dependent on bumpers and flippers...etc. You spend far too much time pinging around with very little control and not nearly enough time actually platforming. The time travel concept, though cool in theory, never really works as well as it should either. Great bosses, though.… Expand
