Most people on the Legacy Boards generally site Sonic 2 as their favorite so I don't know where you're coming from.

This. And not only that, but Sonic CD looks to be the same quality as the core Genesis Sonic games, which means that it deserves its reputation imo.

Sonic cd retains that sonic feeling--it's high quality. It was a game people bought the CD for. Sonic 3 on the other hand feels like a different series. For example: Starfox--holy cow this is amazing. Starfox64--wow, this is just phenomenal. Starfox: Adventure--wtf, why's fox swinging a baseball and where's his jet.

I always saw it on the store shelves back when it first came out and always wanted to play it (Nintendo Kid. never had a Sega console til the Saturn's debut).

Finally got to play it via the HD revamp and it's actually kinda fun and unique compared to the entries after it. I even took the time to beat it, and that's saying something. You gotta put the time of its release into context in order to realize its significance and praise. I dunno how old you are but back when it first arrived it was like the jump from MGS to MGS2. Which is why Sonic 2 blew the critics even more when that arrived.

Sonic 3 isn't as memorable because it came at a time when the formula was pretty much "been there, done that", the industry was pumped for the upcoming 32-bit era, and the cart expansion BS dittered (spellcheck?) consumers from enjoying the full experience and actually confused many who weren't following its development step by step, including myself. It's hard to believe how difficult and financially investing it was to be up-to-date with gaming news until the late 90's.

I'm not sure who says that. I love it, but I rank it behind all of the Genesis games with Sonic 3 & Knuckles at the top.

I'm a huge fan of Cing's games. Played them all on DS. There was one a recently discovered called Glass Rose that was only released in Europe. Got it last week and was pumped thanks to Cing fan praising and I honestly can't finish it. Too slow, straight-forward, and boring. I dunno how I was doped into getting pumped.

Get the idea?

Really? I claimed that a while ago and I was shot down REAL quick. It was probably worse than the time I said Sonic Adventure 2: Battle is the best 3D Sonic.

Having a different avatar didn't make me forget who you are. You're as trollish as him if not worse. What did this add to the topic's discussion but a wrench?

Leave the kid alone. I'm just fooling with him cuz he's a fellow countryman. And leave my country out of this while you're at it. Thanks.

Disregarding everything else. You're familiar with his posting behavior, yes? Do you want him to go on a pointless rage and hijack/kill the thread's discussion? Let him troll. Atleast it's benefitial discussion he brought with it. I comment on his behavior because I'd like him to lose these stupid traits he has and get a better reputation. I feel bad for him.

I personally don't care where this goes from here, to be honest. But I know the people on this board don't want it to turn into another disgusting OT/SW enviroment. So let's agree to disagree and drop this whole side discussion.

Been there, done that. It was a holysht moment in sonic 2, but 3? Yeah, not really. The levels simply lack any rhythm--they're like mazes--what this does is create a lack of focus on the gameplay. The prior games let you do speed and explore, and at the same time if you were good.

I've personally played through Sonic CD about 4 times and while I do think it is a very strong entry in the series, it does have one major fault. One of the worst problems I had was getting lost (or at least confused) during certain areas like the metallic madness zone. This might just be me sucking, but it defeats the speed factor when I had to stop every 3 minutes to turn around or take another route. I've beaten Sonic 1,2,3D Blast,CD, Triple Trouble, and Generations. CD, however seems the most (unnecessarily) complicated. People probably like this game the best because of the complexity and nostalgia, but I cant help but feel that it takes away from the experience.

Not only is Sonic CD my favorite Sonic game, it is my favorite video game of all time. I love Sonic and Back 2 the Future and when you mix the two together you come up with a formula that cannot be beat. And the soundtrack is still one of the best to this day.

You're a bigger idiot than i thought.

You're either using Google Translate,or some troll from GS is telling you how to speak in Greek.

Cause your Greek isn't so good.

In any case,you are wrong,and saying something generic and stupid like that "most ppl think you are *insert name-calling here* " is an idiotic comment in itself,cause there are so many users here,and you don't know what each one thinks.

Yes guys,Tetris is overrated,in a way.

It's too simplistic...and it's an extremely old game.

Get over it.

this is what you said. not crap in exact terms but to me it felt like you said that. my bad then

Way to insult me and other Greeks who haven't had the chance to learn their mother language professionally. I know exactly where you're basing your judgement of my language skills from (which is above average). Google Translate would give me the translation in Greek letters. a Greek troll? Yeah, I'd waste my time trolling you, and only you, on this site. Makes sense. Name calling? Saying that most people on this board take you for a "fool" isn't meant to insult more than it is to make you aware. You could be called far worst things than that.

Your problem is that you feel compelled to respond to every opinion that differs from your own in the most obscene and ill-mannered fashion, and giving people, especially Europeans, more reasons to make fun of us. I should've said this from the start and not waste my time trying to convey the message to you in a manner only you would comprehend. Next time someone calls you out, PLEASE IGNORE. You're not doing yourself a favor by name calling based on their opinions.
