I've never played SONIC CD but will give it a go during Christmas. What version's the best? I heard the music is completely different

3 is better in every single way, except from perhaps music which is a matter of taste anyway. It plays way faster and you are given more moves to play with, you can 'level up' your character, there's branching paths, there's more animations with bigger sprites, better story. It's just better.

JAP story is about nuclear terrorism and the game starts with a bomb going off killing 200k people, Western story is about "Mr X is back. This time with robots!".

He's said it is a way darker game, about nuclear terrorism and not about dudes going around robbing people (SOR2), so he made the soundtrack darker and crazier. Everyone seems to be shitting on the soundtrack because the first stage doesn't open up with the best track like SOR2 (and frankly, most games).


Go play the JAP version if interested in the game, translated or not, PAL/NTSC versions have jacked up difficulty and other stupid shit.

Go emulate Bare Knuckle III (or get the Mmrican translation). Shit's FUN.

It would be nice if they'd eventually release SoR3 with some kind of version mixing options (original layouts with 'overseas' costume palette swaps / the harder, somewhat bullshitty layouts of the international versions with the original's storyline, etc)
