System: Sega Mega Drive
Genre: Platformer
Much like jigsaw pieces, Sonic 3 and Sonic and Knuckles don't really amount to much until they are slotted together. Taken as a whole, both games make a lot more sense and combine to become a brilliant, lengthy and varied 2D Sonic game. The fight with Knuckles in Hidden Palace is one of my favourite gaming moments, I really liked seeing Sonic, Tails and Knuckles fighting then working together though it's funny how Sonic Heroes changed that.. It's a sad cliche, but they really don't make them like they used to and this is the last Sonic game that I would truly consider "great".
