Sonic & Knuckles

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 is back for the 4th time, but this time he's on a team with Knuckles. The 4th adventure takes you on an excitement adventure, the same speed skills and more new adventure's levels filed with loops and new creatures. Sonic and Knuckles battle their way to get back the Chaos emraids for the 4th time. can they get them or will Dr Robotnik have them to himself forever. We'll have to find out as we can play the 4th adventure game.

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!

For those of you who remember the old Sonic games for Genesis, if you have played the Sonic and Knuckles game and added on Sonic 3, I enjoyed playing as Knuckles and playing different levels. It will bemissed by at least me.
