The Classic Hedgehog Returns
1 of 1 found this helpful Odds are, if you're looking at an auction for Sonic the Hedgehog 3, you already know what a spectacular game it is. The masterminds of the Genesis era at Sega truly outdid themselves with the inner workings of this game. The third of four classic installments, Sonic the Hedgehog 3 brings back all the fun of its predecessors while offering a new save feature for those players who can't sit in front of their television to play this in one go.
The game itself takes that lovable hedgehog Sonic through some very elaborate and well-designed stages that incorporate more of a 3D feel in a 2D game. Doctor Robotnik is up to his old tricks again, and it's up to Sonic to save the day once more.
The best thing about this game and the Sega Genesis Sonic the Hedgehog series [Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Sonic the Hedgehog 3, Sonic & Knuckles) in general would have to be the replay value it holds; very few games retain such timeless quality. What's even better: the final installment interacts with both 2 and 3 to create even more replay value in the form of two "bonus" games!
I decided to buy this game to replace the original which was stolen away from me long ago. Nostalgia played a large part in my purchase, but I know I won't be disappointed!
