On the pathetically short-lived 32X with It's bad games that bit the dust, there's one truly memorable, It's called Knuckles' (Or Knux') Chaotix. For this review, and every review I will do, I will share my and only my experiences with the game, I have to be honest with my reviews, NO cussing, false facts, or dishonesty in this review. And one thing, people consider this game a spin-off series of the franchise but due the gameplay style, It's a Sonic game people! Let's get started!

Graphics: 10

The graphics are totally awesome, the bright colors and vibrant atmosphere tones the perfect graphics, you will see a colorful game here, the 32-bit expanded color pallette just sweetens the deal. The sprites are top-notch as well, the sprites are well polished with a touch of full detail within the graphics. The animations take up less frames but looks smooth and definitely worth your time. The graphics can really show what the 32X is capable of like, sprites coming at your face or away from you, 3d polygonic graphics with textures at a high FPS and many more capabitilites as well. And finally, the day-night transition packs ambience into the graphics, making Sonic's world oh so colorful!

Sound: 9

The sound will blow your mind as well, almost, and I mean ALMOST all the tracks are very catchy to hum to. Seriously, there's no reason to not hum or bop to this music. But, I wish it was more catchy like in Sonic 3 and Knuckles, because well, very few of the tracks I can't hum to and are not catchy at all. but

Gameplay: 8

There are 5 characters to choose from, 7 if stage select. Knuckles is just as acrobatic as in the Genesis games, he can glide and climb walls but is a bit faster in this game.
Vector can apparently double his jump and climb walls, but, with a different control scheme. Espio is the fastest character and can run on walls and ceilings without any some sort of speed. Mighty is just like Sonic but Ninja Gaiden-like wall jump that can be a one-walled wall jump. Charmy is the best character of all, but I can't seem to play him as much... Anyways, Charmy is the only one that can fly, at first It's hovering only down but dash all around the place and NEVER GET'S TIRED!!! Heavy is the worst character and can be a nightmare when he's YOUR PARTNER, he is the heaviest and slowest of the bunch. Bomb has NOTHING special about him and is slower than Knuckles but, when you are near him and he gets hit, he explodes with a bigger blast radius than the enemies. Each character, (except Heavy and Bomb) has their own spin-dash that is slow, but, you and your partner are tethered together with tethering rings, and for the first time ever in Sonic history, each button is assigned to a different action, if you use the B and C buttons wisely the tethering actually works quite well, and your partner can't run off the screen either, but it can be very wonky at time, and when paired up with heavy, It can get sloppy.

Story: 7

To tell you the truth, with my experiences with the Sonic Archie Comics, and Sonic the Comic. Knux' Chaotix actually has a story.  The story is about the special stage istelf. What lies deep in Mobius is the Grand Holy Chaos Ring that connects the special stage to the world of Mobius that held the existence of the Chaos Emeralds, but one day, the Grand Holy Chaos Ring was shattered into seven pieces throughout the special stage. Sonic and Tails went to South Island to defeat eggman and regain the Holy Ring, but Dr. Robotnik used the Grand Holy Chaos Ring to defeat Sonic and Tails and succeeded, Tails was held in the dungeons, and Sonic was roboticized into the new Metal Sonic. Meanwhile on Angel Island, Knuckles went out for a hike, and saw Robotnik trying to roboticize Espio, Knuckles freed Espio from the roboticizer and in return Espio gave Knuckles the tethering ring. Robotnik flees the Island with the Help of Metal Sonic. Espio tells Knuckles about the Chaotix, a group of freedom fighters carrying out Sonic's work. Their hiding place was a high school in South Island called Newtrogic High Zone, and now It's up to Knux and the Chaotix to end Robotnik's tyranny and Save the Special Stage, South Island, and the Entire world of Mobius including the Chaos Emeralds.

Depth: 9

The game has a lot to offer, 5 characters to choose from, a crane machine to decide your partner, and a slot machine to decide the stage in gameplay. The 5 zones are Botanic Base, Speed Slider, Marina Madness, Techno Tower, and Amazing Arena each zone has 5 "levels" or acts, The boxes can now do something to you and your combination, (or partner) like growing, shrinking, switching, and changing the partner, all for a temporary amount and at the bottom of the screen, it even shows what kind of powerup you have. The training mode let's you practice on Angel (Isolated) Island, and the levels pack creativity in the gameplay, and day-night transition. The special stages are a complete obstacle course where you have enough blue spheres to get to chaos ring, Being in the special stage is like being Super Sonic, so If you don't get enough rings before the checkpoint, it will force you to it again, and NOTHING regenerates.

Addictiveness: 8

Not much to say, due to what I wrote above this line, the game can keep you in forever until you get tired of it.

Difficulty: 6

The difficulty is due to how awesome the game really is. The difficulty in the levels is slightly easy and the bosses are a meh. The level design is designed in a weird, weird way, the levels are NOT linear but more path-like, if you don't know what you're doing, you're most likely to mess up and go to dead ends, especially in Amazing Arena where the level is a maze! If you keep going toward the path, It leads you to the exit. The final boss is hard when you don't know what your doing AND when you have the wrong combi.

Overall: 8.8/10 "Great"

Knux' Chaotix is a great game on the Sega 32X, The graphics and amaze players, the sound is great most of the time, the gameplay is awesome on some aspects the story is bigger that Sonic CD and sounds like a tough adventure, The Depth is big, and it has a great addictiveness. But seriously, make the tethering style a little better to even out the physics, and the level design should've been straightfoward.
