Sonic CD Review

Sonic CD Review

More than just a classic action game, Sonic CD is an exemplary port of a retro game to a modern platform.

The Good

  • A lot of fun platforming at a very good price   
  • Faithfully converts the pixel look of the original to high-res, widescreen displays   
  • Includes a huge variety of old and new unlockable extras   
  • Offers a unique take on the classic Sonic formula.

The Bad

  • A few noticeable changes to core gameplay may annoy some   
  • Some vocals removed due to licensing reasons   
  • Wacky Workbench level isn't fun.

History has not been kind to the Sega CD add-on, which has largely been regarded as a failure. Still, the console did have several excellent exclusives, among which was an ambitious time-hopping adventure in its most popular franchise. Sonic CD was one of the games that made a Sega CD worth owning. While its cartridge-based brothers saw frequent rereleases, Sonic CD's reissues on the PC and GameCube (via the Sonic Gems Collection) were clunky and inaccurate, as well as missing features. So it is with great celebration among Sonic series fans that Sega has rereleased Sonic CD on modern platforms as a download game, but what makes it even sweeter is the care and effort that has gone into the conversion
