While I was growing up, I latched into the Nintendo camp of the 16 bit wars, because Nintendo had more strong series to back up their hardware, and more good games overall that I could appreciate. And although I was proud to be on Team Super NES, I wondered how it could be that I could enjoy a game that was on Team Sega Genesis. :question: Fast-forward more than 15 years after the fact that this game (and "Sonic & Knuckles") were released, and I find out something extraordinary was the key reason that I secretly enjoyed this game so much: the now late, great Michael Jackson composed music for it! :shock: I SO didn't expect that! It's no wonder "Sonic the Hedgehog" often makes King of Pop portrayals in his cartoon series, comic books, and frequent fan-fiction artworks! :oops: But I digress! So now that I know all of the reasons why I enjoyed this game, I can confidently review this game, and state that the graphics were absolutely amazing not just by Sega Genesis standards, but by 16 bit standards in general! :) The enemies, bosses, special bonus level designs, and the rivalry between Sonic and Knuckles make for an intriguing game! :!: And the game "Sonic & Knuckles" made good use of lock-on technology! :D So the game called "Sonic 3 & Knuckles" makes the game twice as long, twice as hard, but also twice as rewarding to beat! Plus, it is SO cool to transform into Super Tails, Hyper Knuckles, and/or Hyper Sonic! :idea: I highly enjoyed this game and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for the best video game experience on the Sega Genesis! 8) Enough said, true believers! ;)
