The sad thing about Sega is that their music on new games still sounds like the Sonic CD theme song.

You obviously played the NTSC version, the music on the PAL and Japanese version was far superior.

Not something you should be proud of, this is considering that both CD isn't that great and how easily you can get the first three on ANY platform for a few bucks each.

@mcnichoj I said as a young'n. I've played them since. I was just saying this is the one that hits the nostalgia button for me.

Also, I thought it was pretty good. Still my favorite.

I beg to differ! The Japanese/European theme song was better in my opinion.

He's likely asking because Mass Effect 3 is being released on the Xbox AND PS3. It does seem a little odd, but whatever.

Hey! The Wii had The Black Knight, and Seven Rings...

So you deserve... well, maybe 3/4ths of Sonic CD.

I hope two things:

1. This is the Sega CD version, and not the PC version. Given the fact that we've NEVER seen an emulated Sega CD game, and Sega's past XBLA offerings have been pretty lazy, I'm doubting it.

2. We get BOTH soundtracks and can choose between them in a menu.

@Mike Kelehan HUGE YES to both soundtracks. I like the US one at points, but I really would like to play it with the original JPN/Europe music.

According to wikipedia the Sonic Gems version was a port of the PC version.

I missed this as a kid. I had a CDX but never had one Sega CD game. I still have my CDX though and I recently bought Sonic CD and it's ....different. As a huge fan of Sonic games back in the day, this one is kinda off the wall by comparison.

This is incredible. I never managed to play this sonic game. i went from a genesis to a dreamcast.

@KiDPANDA

Same here, I went from Sonic and Knuckles to Sonic Adventure... Probably didn't help that the only time I ever seen, or heard for that matter, of the Sega CD/Saturn, was at a relatives house (and was well after the fact the Dreamcast was released).

Sonic CD is probably the most overrated of the 16-bit Sonics. Slow pacing, awkward and tedious time traveling mechanic, and underwhelming bosses. Maybe if I'd played it at the time of its release on the Sega CD, as opposed to years after the fact on the PC, it would've been a better experience.

I have to agree. Those that are used to older Sonic games on Genesis are going to play this and say WTF!? I know I did.

I just watched some gameplay, and this game looks like utter crap. What's wrong with people on here, is nostalgia that blinding that you ignore everything bad about the game entirely?

I always wondered why SEGA was dragging their feet with releasing this game as a download. Hopefully this comes to PSN too (and not a year or two later like Limbo, Castle Crashers, etc)
