Sonic & Knuckles

Sonic & Knuckles is a great addition to Sonic 3. It has new levels, a new final boss, it introduced lock-on technology so you can play Sonic 3 & Knuckles or Knuckles in Sonic 2, it's awesome!

*THIS REVIEW IS ABOUT THE COMPLETE GAME PLAYABLE VIA LOCK-ON TECHNOLOGY*

Before playing "SONIC & KNUCKLES + SONIC 3" (1994) I always feel nervous. The kind of throat-swelling, mouth-drying, stomach-turning nerves that one gets in anticipation of a first date. I have completed this game consistently for so long and yet I always feel fear and excitement.

For the first two zones my mind's on seven chaos emeralds, earned in the blue sphere stages. Then my mind's on shields and rings. After Launch Base Zone Act 2 we're in Mushroom Hill and my mind is then on seven super emeralds. Once I've got them it's back to shields and rings.

Then it's all sneakers blazing to the Doomsday Zone in a race against time through space.

What this game has that the first two outings don't have (Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles also lack this as individual games) is a rip-roaringly brutal sense of relentless pursuit. The Doomsday Zone is the skull-splitting, edge of your seat climax to a sweaty, grimy, blistering chase.

Spin dashing through these colourful, dangerous, enormous, beautiful levels, to some of the best tracks in the Sonic canon, is intoxicating. The journey you take Sonic, Tails and Knuckles on is unforgettable. Playing it after "SONIC THE HEDGEHOG" (1991) and "SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 2" (1992) is one awesome ride through a wonderful world

The fourth Sonic game is a big improvement over the last one in my opinion. This time around, you play as either Sonic or Knuckles (hence the title). The game offers good graphics, new levels and new bad guys, which is always nice. But, the most impressive thing about this game by far is that you can hook it up to Sonic 3. When you do that, you get to play as Knuckles throughout that whole game and find some interesting surprises. This is truly an excellent game. Thumbs up!

Sonic the Hedgehog is one of the most famous video games of all time! The characters, the jumping, the power-ups, and the sure thrill of adventure makes this entire series a fun non-stop playing time! Below is a brief look how I think the game is!

Game Play: The game play is very good. There is really basic controls here and is easy to perform. Novice gamers should have a good time here!

Graphics: The graphics are wonderful. The backgrounds are really beautiful!

Difficulty: The game is easy but as it goes on you''s find out that it will become more difficult!

Music: The music is great! Just fantastic catchy tunes through out the game! In My opinion its some of the best music ever in a video game!

Overall: I have always loved Sonic the Hedgehog! If you like excellent adventure games then I strongly recommend you play this game!
