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!

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 & KNUCKLES, in my opinion, is one of the best Sega Genesis games I have ever played. Even though it's been awhile since I've had a Sega Genesis system and game and played it as well, I enjoy it very much. In addition, even though I've never made it to the last level, I still enjoy the game. When and if this game is made available for download on the Nintendo Wii, I'm definitely going to download it. Also, I must say that the lock-on technology on the Sega Genesis version was really cool. Before I wrap this up, I'd like to say that the people at Sega Genesis know how to keep video game fanatics entertained. Now, in conclusion, if you're a video game fanatic, this is definitely one you'll want to play and own.

*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

Sonic 3 + Sonic And Knuckles = BEST GAME EVER BOI!! I mean sonic 3 alone (amazing) and sonic and knuckles alone (ground-breaking) are great titles (arguably are some of the best in the franchise) but.. When combined ITZ CATASTROPHIC BBY
