Sonic the Hedgehog 3
Description (IGDB)
The game is a sequel to the Sonic the Hedgehog 2 for the same system and follows on directly from the end of the game, in which Sonic defeated his enemy, Dr. Robotnik; crash-landing on a floating island, Sonic encounters new character Knuckles the Echidna, and must once more retrieve the Chaos Emeralds while also working to stop Dr. Robotnik from relaunching his ship, the Death Egg.
Histoire (IGDB)
After Sonic defeats Dr. Robotnik at the end of Sonic the Hedgehog 2, his space station, the Death Egg, crash-lands on a mystical floating landmass called Angel Island (or simply "the Floating Island" as it's called in the game manual). As Dr. Robotnik begins to repair the damaged station, he meets up with Knuckles the Echidna, the last surviving member of an ancient civilization of Echidnas that once inhabited the island. He is also the guardian of the Master Emerald, which grants the island its levitation powers. Knowing Sonic and Tails will try to track him down, and realizing he can use the Master Emerald to power the ship, Dr. Robotnik dupes Knuckles into believing Sonic is trying to steal his Emerald. Shortly after, Sonic and Tails in their biplane, the Tornado, are in search of Dr. Robotnik. Sonic, possessing the emeralds from the events of Sonic 2, then turns into Super Sonic. As soon as they arrive, Knuckles ambushes Sonic from underground and knocks the Chaos Emeralds from him, returning him to normal. Knuckles steals the Emeralds and disappears inland. As Sonic and Tails travel through the levels, they encounter Knuckles in almost every level, hindering their progress. In the last level, the Launch Base Zone, the Death Egg launches off for the second time, knocking Knuckles off a pole and sending him plummeting into the water. Sonic travels to a platform on the Death Egg, fights, and defeats Robotnik for the last time. The Death Egg is seen damaged and falling after Robotnik's defeat, after which it crashes back onto Angel Island- leading into the second half of the story in Sonic & Knuckles.

Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« Fantastic stuff. [Issue#48, p.99] »
« Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is a fantastic game, but you can find it elsewhere for cheaper. This package adds a few things you can't find in most other Sonic re-releases, such as online play and leaderboards, but those really don't add much. »
« Not quite a stone-cold classic, but close enough to make the low asking price a no-brainer. »
« For 400 Microsoft points, Sonic 3 is not just a pleasant trip down memory lane, but a welcome return to a series that has gone awry. »
« Sonic 3 is a fast and entertaining platformer, although it may be worth considering buying it inside of one of Sega's larger collections. »
« If all you want is Knuckles' debut, this is a fine $5 deal. [Oct 2009, p.77] »

« Once again another classic Sonic game and this is probably the best classic Sonic Game »
« A massive disappointment, the levels and bosses are too long, and only the first 2 to 3 zones are actually fun, after that it’s a chore to play through. »
« Also a really good sonic game, with great levels, music, and final boss level. »
« un gran juego me encanta un juego que recomiendo muchas zonas god como ice cap noche carnaval »
« In real, Sonic 3 is one of the BEST Sonic game ever. It’s really smooth and impressive in originality and story. The story is good, is good to see Knuckles for the first time. The game itself is pretty cool. I don’t owe Xbox 360 version but I played the game. Because this version is from Sega Vintage Collection, that is just a official Sega emulator, it’s considered the original version. »
« The game itself is a 9, maybe a bit lower. But combined with Sonic and Knuckle (with the top cassette slot, is one of the best Genesis game ever made. The story is doubled and contains a lot of bonuses. »
« Sonic the hedgehog 3 is a very great game the level design is smooth it has a great number of routes to go in each stage one by one. This game is very close to a perfect masterpiece. I like how sonic looks as he got a cool redesign which is really nice in game. The gameplay is smooth and has very nice controls for game at its time. The bosses are very amazing too as they make the game have a fair piece of pacing each boss you take on. However, some flaws are very minor but a heads up the stages can be difficult for newcomers as they have this certain point where players might have a hard time progressing. Another head's up is the chaos emerald game as it is quite fun but very challenging which might frustrate players as the game gets faster when you keep turning the blue spheres into red spheres. Anyway, this was my full review of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 if you read this review thank you. »
« Pretty fun game and our introduction to Knuckles............................. »
