It goes without saying that more than half of the people buying this game are buying it for Sonic CD alone. Not a bad thing at all, I'm just saying from experience, the rest of the games on this disc are really not worth playing, so I'm just reviewing their treatment of Sonic CD
It's the opinion of many ( including me ) that Sonic CD is the greatest Sonic game ever made. Every level has 3 different versions, past future present etc, excellent music and graphics, awesome special stage etc. But unfortunately this Gamecube disc version has some differences both good and bad from the Sega CD version. A good difference is the opening animation for the gamecube version is so much better quality that it makes you really see how bad the Sega CD's full motion video really was. It's so beautifully improved. All of the graphics are somewhat improved too and/or just as good as the Sega CD version. The only downfall is the SOUND. The music a little bit but mainly the sound effects are very very VERY noticably lower quality when compared to the Sega CD version and it honestly does effect the value of the game. I'm sure some other people know what I'm talking about but when I play the sonic gems version, part of my brain just says man, I wish the sound was the same. To be completely honest, the Sega CD disc had mezmerizing crystal clear hi fi sound, it was total ear candy. It doesn't seem like they did a very good job with the transfer, sonic's jumps, springs, and ring collecting sounds are so choppy almost as if someone recorded them with a hand held tape recorder or something.
In all honesty, the game is still enjoyable, the 50 billion different colors, the insane graphics, the opening and ending animations. But it lacks the Sega CD version in all it's QSound glory
