Sonic CD remains fun, fast, and now includes the Japanese soundtrack

Sonic CD was originally released on the ill-fated Sega CD platform, and it proved to be one of the few truly good games for that system. That's right, it was a game, not an experiment in what could be done with video. Sonic CD introduced Amy Rose and Metal Sonic, and it's worth noting that this happened before gamers began to groan at the idea of characters that aren't Sonic. The game was also released on the PC back in 1996; later, it could be found on the PlayStation 2 and GameCube in the Sonic Gems collection. It was always a game that people enjoyed, but it was never all that easy to find. Until now.
Sonic CD has been released on the Xbox Live Arcade, with a PlayStation Network version coming on December 20. The game can also be found on iOS devices tomorrow, and on the Android store starting today. We're going to stick to the Xbox 360 version, because we like buttons and the PlayStation 3 version is a week away. So how well does the game hold up?
