I think I'm the only person who hates this game... .-.zmanrwks
I've often said this is a "love it or hate it" title. Of course being a "pre Adventure" game it's criticisms are more grounded in reality with the game being devoid of cutscenes, playable pals or gimmicks aside from the Time Travel more focusing on the level design and some of it's inherent flaws.
The weirdest thing about CD is how you can go about getting the "good" ending. Instead of Chaos Emeralds, you have Time Stones which you can either get in the bizzare 3D esque special stages where you have to attack saucers OR towards the end of each act, there's a machine in the Present that if you destroy it, then go to the future version, the world will be green and pretty as opposed to the 'bad" future where it's all cold and metallic. Destroying said machine will show "Sonic made a Good future in Act 1/2" This is where the more "forced exploration" element is thrown in. Finding that machine is a pain, though it is optional like finding all Chaos Emeralds..
There's also little areas where you can see Metal Sonic stomping on animals and little machines you can destroy to have more little critters running around.
Yeah, it's a weird game though still better than that OTHER Sonic game involving time travel. (coughnextgencough)
