Here comes another game review from yours truly, me!

The game I will be reviewing is "Sonic 3 & Knuckles" for the sega genesis, it is my most favorite game of all time.

How to play: You play as Sonic, the main hero who stops Dr. Robotnik once again but now you can also play with knuckles, such a handy feature. Also, there are 8 save files now, how lucky is that? Anyways, you start off with 3 lives, (just like most games) and you can earn extra lives until you hit 99, you can earn continues by going into any bonus/special stage and collecting 50 total rings in there, you can hold up to 99! There are a total of 14 different zones, which makes it handy. Onto the review now.

Graphics - 10
As far as graphics go, it is really good for a sega genesis game, all the blocks, and the walls are colored nice and perfect, there are waterfalls and many other things, like lava, or other things. I give the graphics a 10.

Sound - 10
The sounds are still great, many sounds are taken from sonic 1 & 2, but there are many new sounds, and every zone has completly new music, although many sounds from past sonic games was recycled, atleast Sega has the rights for the music and sounds. I give the sounds a 10.

Addictiveness - 8
Well, I have to say, it is a great game, especially with the stuff in the game that keeps you playing it, I play the game an hour or more each day that I play it, so I would give the addictiveness a 8.

Depth - 9
This is a long game, and I got to say, it has more than 20 acts between 14 different zones. That would keep you playing, there is a secret to open up zone 14 if you meet a simple requirement. This game is big, considering that there are 14 zones in total, atleast the original sonic 3 gave mercy by putting in a save battery pack in the actual cartridges which helps out a LOT. You will need that save battery pack to beat this game without having to stress unlike sonic 1 & 2. I give the depth a 9.

Story - 7
The story is good, especially how the story goes. "Sonic and Tails find Angel Island and fly there, Sonic turns into Super Sonic with the emeralds he has and breezes right through, but hang on... *BAM* The force of the hit from Knuckle's digging causes Sonic's emeralds to fly out, all spread apart. A second later, you can't see any emeralds anymore, what happened to them? Find out for yourself."
I didn't copy that from a website, I swear! That was my opinion of how the story goes, and I do like the story. I give it a 7.

Difficulty - 8
I finally get a chance to talk about the difficulty! The game starts out pretty easy, but when you get near the end of the game, it will bring you to frustration land, where you can release all of your frustration there. If you don't have Super Sonic by the time you get to the Hidden Palace zone, (Zone 11) the death egg zone will pretty much be impossible without even cheating! It is hard, but fun for people who love challenge. (I like challenge) I would give the difficulty a 8.

Overall - 9.2
This game is totally recommend for sonic fans and people who have heard, played, or even seen a sonic game from a video, or whatever, pretty much everyone. It is a fun game, it is such one of the classics, and I still haven't even finished the game completly without any cheating, despite the random story twist and the difficulty, it is a great game. I want you to play this game sooner or later, because this game is a game you don't want to miss playing.

This has been a review from yours truly, Stevie 764. Thanks for reading my review and I hope you check out my other game reviews.

Stevie 764 : Well done mate!
You've really outdone yourself.

lugiaboy : Thanks, I will be so excited when I become Site Staff as a Game Reviewer!

I loved the fact that you play with Knuckles on this game, it was one of the reasons I enjoyed playing this.

Nice review Stevie, I hope you can become Site Staff.

Markeith21 : When Davideo7 makes a staff application, I will be site staff. Only if Davideo7 would hurry the heck up and make a staff application, I would be very happy.

Great game really loved the way it played and the graphics weren't too bad at all, not a bad play at all, everyone should give it one try at some point, it least once, great game overall, just not a 5 out of 5 though.

This game totally rocks. I play it almost all of the time on my pc. 5 stars woohoo!

I have this Game on Sonic Mega Collection Plus for Playstation 2 and it's one of the best Genesis Games ever because you can play as Knuckles in the Sonic The Hedgehog 3 Stages and you can play as Tails in the Sonic and Knuckles Stages.

The best classic sonic games, untill i learned one super emerald stage strategy i've never got them all -.-' 
But i'm sure this game is soo cool, that i still not get tired to win with sonic & tails, sonic alone, tails alone and even knuckles, but something happens to my save on the save that deletes it '-'

I play this game on my Genesis all the time it is such a great game. It was supposed to be Sonic 3 but Sega couldn't afford to produce such a big game so they split the game in 2. This is the way to really experience Sonic 3 and Sonic and Knuckles.

Well done steve764 this is a very accurate and well worded review (:

wow i read this and it is AMAZING keep up the good work 

joshtpw : Please don't bump up old reviews, because this was dead for months. Bumping up old threads makes more spammers, and bumping up dead reviews is a little too spammy, because I noticed when I last posted in this thread, I had around 1500 posts, which was far from what I have now. Also, it took months for me to just reach 2.5k posts. This is a great review, but if a thread/review has been dead for atleast 3 months, then "it's done". I am not demanding you to not spam, but just be careful with when the thread was last posted. Also, this is a old review, look at my new reviews with the "(staff review)" symbol on the thread title.

OK i wont do it again
