    Not as good as 2 IMO, but a good Sonic game nontheless

    Sonic 3 follows the formula that was put forth in Sonic 2. It made some improvements like new items and interesting bonus games. The two player mode was the biggest improvement. You did not just play the single player le... Read Full Review

    Sonic returns in Sonic the Hedgehog 3 - but is it more of the same, or better?

    I had a Sega Megadrive (genesis) when I was a kid. I had Sonic 1 and 2 - Sonic and Mario (on the NES of course) were my two main games I always used to play. I never had sonic 3 but it is very similar and it is very nos... Read Full Review

    The third part of the trilogy is more than the others.

    The first sonic was awesome. The second one was superb. And in the third one they did something what they can't do again. They made a perfect sonic. It's the best sonic for sure. It's faster it's nicer, the sounds are be... Read Full Review

    One of the best Sonic games so far. It's not as amazing without Sonic & Knuckles attached, but it's still great.

    **This is a review for the original Sonic 3, not for Sonic 3 AND Sonic & Knuckles which makes the game much better. ** The biggest competition that Mario had in the golden age of gaming was definitely Sonic the Hedgeh... Read Full Review

    This is one of the best 2-D sonic games that Sega ever created.

    Perhaps the greatest sidescroller of all time.

    The early sonic games are great. I have played a lot of them, but I never got into the newer ones. But enough of that. Sonic 3 is simply an unbelieveble achievement, and it pushed the genesis to the limits, with every... Read Full Review

    The greatest Sonic game of all!

    When I first played this, it was for the gamecube version. I kept playing it. Oh my god, it was what pretty much a lot of people said about it, SWEET! The gtaphics were among the greatest I've ever seen! The music was am... Read Full Review

    My God, how can you NOT love it?

    Sonic the Hedgehog... ah, what a class act. Back in the day (these days, as it were) every Sonic game that came out you could be sure was action-packed and full of fun and adventure-- and it certainly wasn't going to suc... Read Full Review
