Sonic 3 @ Amy Rose

a notably good game

Sonic 3 and Amy rose is a game
that you will not want to miss out on, The game is about where the
main protagonist Sonic has been replaced with Amy Rose, a pink
hedgehog that loves and chases sonic whenever she has the chance. The
games levels and bosses are the same as well as the plot and
minigames. So your wondering what is so great about this game, Amy is
no ordinary hedgehog, she cannot curl into a ball in the air, so she
can't attack enemies like Sonic can, the only way to hurt baddies is
to use her pinko pinko hammer by pressing A. Her hammer only stays out
for about a second so you need to have good timing to land hits on
the enemies and bosses..

Now, on to the review!

-Graphics- 10

SEGA has always had clean graphics for
their Sonic games, Amy's sprites are bright and clean, and I also
noticed that her jumping sprites are very fluent.

-Sound- 8

The tunes are great, they are
original and suiting for the areas in the game, my favorite ones are
sky sanctuary and marble garden. 
-Story- 5

There isn't much story, just that
Robotnick is taking over the world (again) there is some details like
knuckles being back-stabbed near the end but that's it.  

-Depth- 10

The depth on this game is enormous on
this one, with over 15 zones, three characters and a racing
minigame this is a deep, deep game for a Genesis title.

-Addictiveness- 8

With two ways to beat the game (once
as Amy and once as Knux) you will spend at least 5 hours on this game.
( that's not bad considering it is a very plain hack)

-Difficulty- 7

The difficulty is slightly higher on
this game then most others, with having to time you swings with you
hammer while jumping, it is harder to defeat bosses and other
baddies.

The game's controls are not as
simple as you think, A is hammer and B and C are jump, but when your
in the air you can hold down on the d-pad and press A to perform a
hammer dive and slam down on you enemies. This can make landing hits
kind of tricky.

-Overall- 9

I really liked this game, playing
through the game again as Amy was just what I needed to be reminded
that Sonic 3 and Knuckles is not a game to be underestimated. Period.
