Yay! I'm so downloading this.
by gobluebuckeye Tuesday, December 13, 2011 at 10:35 AM

cant say I am really excited about this
by JakeDaGr8 Tuesday, December 13, 2011 at 10:36 AM

I'd get it but i already own this game..not interested in getting tails, just my opinion everybody.
by Chronos545 Tuesday, December 13, 2011 at 10:37 AM

I was seriously considering buying a Sega CD for my Genesis so I could play this and another game or two, I guess this'll just save me some money =)
by doomsday1155 Tuesday, December 13, 2011 at 10:37 AM

Wait, they're putting Tails in the game? What?
by Mray901 Tuesday, December 13, 2011 at 10:39 AM

I'll buy it! ...Eventually.
by UltimateManlyMan Tuesday, December 13, 2011 at 10:41 AM

This is the only classic Sonic I've never played,might have to pick this one up.
by JonnyLikesGames Tuesday, December 13, 2011 at 10:45 AM

Best. Sonic. Ever.

Both soundtracks you say? That settles it. I am most definitely buying this game.
by ThisBlueSquid Tuesday, December 13, 2011 at 10:46 AM

I'm not going to get it, I still have the Sonic Gems collection. Still for anyone who DOESN'T have it, this is easily a steal.
by Pete Vermeychuk Tuesday, December 13, 2011 at 10:47 AM

Still have my original copy, and two Sega CDs (One's a CDX), but I might just buy this for 400 MS points. It's a close call, but this is definitely only the second best sonic game behind S3&K. I've never heard the Japanese soundtrack, and it might be interesting to play as tails. Honestly I'm just making up reasons to buy it, but there hasn't been a really good Sonic game since 1994.
by Mantis Rapture Tuesday, December 13, 2011 at 10:53 AM

Probably the best Sonic game. If you've never played it, you should get involved.
by Priest006 Tuesday, December 13, 2011 at 10:56 AM

:D :D :D :D hell yeah!
by The Doctor Tuesday, December 13, 2011 at 11:01 AM

THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID!! Gonna have to pick this one up. This is the only 2D Sonic I never played all the way through.
by durararaGO95 Tuesday, December 13, 2011 at 11:02 AM

by Apricot Tuesday, December 13, 2011 at 11:02 AM

Why isn't SEGA putting this on any Nintendo devices? Well, i'll just take a look at it tomorrow on my iPod Touch and I might buy it.
by DoctorNight Tuesday, December 13, 2011 at 11:03 AM

Only 5 dollars? That's a darned good deal for a decent game!
by Meta77 Tuesday, December 13, 2011 at 11:06 AM

Rediscovering my love never left. only person it left this year was tim.
by CloudVII Tuesday, December 13, 2011 at 11:23 AM

Yes please. Sonic CD is my favorite sonic game period. I'll pick this up as soon as I have some extra cash. :D
by G3N0Unknown Tuesday, December 13, 2011 at 11:29 AM

I loved this on the PC when I was growing up. Was such a ballin' game. Probably my favorite Sonic game to date.
