Sonic CD has its share of defects. I'd say that technically and objectively it definitely isn't better than Sonic 3 & Knuckles, and arguably not better than Sonic 1 and Sonic 2. However, personally, it is pretty much my favorite Sonic game. It's not an easy game to enjoy, but it is a really amazing game, specially if you're willing to give it a chance.
Frankly, this re-release fixes a fair share of its faults, and also knowing it is only 5 bucks, you -must- fucking get this. Mostly also to give support to Taxman, whose was in charge for pretty much the whole thing and did an amazing job re-creating this game from the ground up. Hopefully sales might indicate that he might get a shot doing the same thing with other titles.
