Sonic 3 lacks the value and graphics, but it's fun to play who ever didn't play the last two games.
Yes, I know all the sonic games are short, but this one is mega short. The enimies count has risen, making this game harder, but still, you need to kill the enimies by spining, and jumpin in mid-air is spinning.
Mario's jumping is to jump ONTO an enemy, so why is this game not like that? How can you stop spinning while pressing the B button?
The minigames - well, there are only one, and by getting 50 rings and standing under a checkpoint and jump - is gone by a lucky minigame. There is almost no way you can get a chaos emrald.
But still. Everything is back. You can peform new moves by simply pressing the jump button twice - handy and fun. You can now fly while playing 2-player story mode. New multiplayer is here (but very poor, mind) and the original classic soundtrack is here in action.
Sound effects, music - all of those are brilliant. This is good, but it's excatly the same. You have tails. Levels with enimies. Stay in the water for about 20 seconds. Jump - spin dashing. Listen to the best sound effects. Sega needs something new. Stop the saving the world storyline and plot, and do something more intresting!
