Though not as good as Sonic 2, this Sonic game is still fun to play.
Cons: Level designs and enemies look kinda gay multiplayer has disimproved alot, can be hard, soem boss fights are incredibly hard. GRAPHICS- Okay I have good news. Shorty ain't here (where he bothered me when I was reviewing Sonic 2).... well that's pretty much it. Ehem. Now the graphics for Sonic 3... has.... pretty much improved. Sonic 1 and Sonic 2 look a lot similar (with only little to none differences) but when Sonic 3 came out... it was easy to say "God Damn, the graphics have improved." The graphics are really great. Sonic looks way better than before. How looks when running, jumping, spin dashing, getting hit, dying, ducking, looking up, and using sheilds looks a lot improved. Tails looks also improved but doesn't look improved that much. He's just shinier. Knuckles, who just appeared, has great design and he's a pretty cool character (Sonic IS my favorite Sonic character okay). Now I would have gave the graphics a 10... but one thing prevented it from happening: The level designs. Well, while looking great and all, they looked kinda GAY But you wanna know what's even more gayer... how the enemies look. Well there design is good and all, but they're kinda GAY Seriously, monkies on a tree swinging oranges with paint on themselves. How gay is that?! Rhinos that look somewhat constipaited. How gay is that?! But still they look great but kinda gay Okay? The effects in the game (the explosions, impact when destroying enemies, and alot more) look great. Now with the graphics getting a 9.... you must realize that they're great... but if the level designs and enemies did not look kinda gay I would gave the graphics a 10. Gameplay- Also a 9. The gameplay is fast, insane, and is incredibly addicting... the multiplayer has disimproved alot. It's no by means better than the multiplayer in Sonic 2. I'll explain why I think the multiplayer is not as good as the one in Sonic 2. The co-op has improved a lot. Now you can make Tails fly. You can lift Sonic and take him to higher places. That's... pretty cool. Tails can get tired... which makes sense. Seeing that Tails is 8 years old (but by "how long he's been around" in this world... he's 14 or 15. Sonic 2 came out in November 94. He's 15 I think). Now the boss fights. They're fun but some are hard as hell. Like the one in Marble Garden. Tails flies Sonic to battle Robotnik and you control Tails to attack Robotnik. But Tails won't attack, you press "a" to make Sonic jump. Do that to attack Robotnik in the weak spot. And it's frustrating to do that. I beat it and I'm on Carnival Night Act 2. That boss fight in Carnival Night Act 1 is also hard. Anyway, the gameplay is still great. Now you see the multiplayer... look at it... it looks fun (actually it doesn't)... but it ends up being not so good. I don't like the multiplayer that much. I mean... come on!! No enemies to kill, and it's a crappy race to the end. Each lap isn't surrised. You'll learn nothing when doing multiplayer. You can choose 3 characters: Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles. That's the only good part of multiplayer. And when you start multiplayer, during the 3 second countdown for race to begin, if you go a little farther... a noise will pop out. Once that happens you'll have to restart. It bothers the f**k out of me! Why can't you go farther a little bit and they'll be a electric gate preventing you from cheating but it's fun to bother other players by doing that (by making the noise pop out). Still though, great gameplay. The sheilds and the new abilties are awesome. SOUND: The sound is better than Sonic 2's. Great beat when a boss fight begins, great sound effects, and great level music. Great boss music, too. But as usual... I don't have a lot to say about the sound! OVERALL- Sonic 2 is better than this. It gave people great memories when playing it. Sonic 2 reached the top selling game for Sega Genesis/Mega Drive. Sonic 3 is NOT good as Sonic 2 or Sonic 1. The true Sonic 3 is Sonic 3& Knuckles due to the new features (like Hyper Sonic. Damn he's cool). But does that mean Sonic 3 is crap? No. It's puuuurreeeee fun.
