Why all the hate? – Sonic CD Classic Review

Okay, this game has a good and unique soundtrack,( I prefer the Japanese soundtrack but that’s just me) the level design is great, and the Idea that you can go to the past and changed the future into a good one gives me chills. I’ve been reading reviews that say a variety of things, from it not working on their Apple TV, to people saying SEGA is cheep because their free to play game has ads. I have been having no issues with ads whatsoever. Yeah, I got an ad after ever Zone, and sure I get an ad after I unpause, but is that really an excuse to trash on Sonic CD? People have been noting that the Metal Sonic battle in Stardust Speedway is difficult. I had a few retries on it myself, but maybe things get easier if you create a good future. I did experience the minor issue of Wacky Workbench Zone 3 is in Bad Future, but I didn’t really change much of the boss. If you think the boss music is creepy, try the Japanese game over music. I also read that Collision Chaos is difficult because of the pinball like aspect. Yeah, did you realize it’s called COLLISION CHAOS?!? I’m not sure if this was supposed to happen, but I’d you have the U.S soundtrack on, the music for past, or both futures don’t change from the Japanese soundtrack. This game paved the way for other great sonic the hedgehog games. Also, don’t compare the Metal Sonic fight in this game to the one in Sonic Generations, it was supposed to be easier. Small side note to all those who play Sonic Mania, there was an update that made Metal Sonic even more tough of a fight. The original fight was like this one, but then the update made the crew face Giga Metal Sonic... which might be a reference to the Final Boss in Sonic Heroes.... anyway, I managed to beat the game and create all Good Futures in all the Rounds and Zones in a Day and a Half. This game isn’t hard besides the Boss of Collision Chaos,( it took me a bit to realize what I had to do) also, most bosses go down in 2 hits.........
