    Sonic & Knuckles Is Part Two Of A Truly Perfect Game. Sonic & Knuckles Starts Where Sonic The Hedgehog 3 Ended. No Tails This Time But SonicSonic & Knuckles Is Part Two Of A Truly Perfect Game. Sonic & Knuckles Starts Where Sonic The Hedgehog 3 Ended. No Tails This Time But Sonic Keeps His Insta Shield. Knuckles Is Now Playable With New Abilities Such As Climbing On Walls. And Gliding. This Game Has The Same Blue Spheres With The Same Sprites But Different Zones. One Moment You Can Be Spindashing In A Mushroom Zone And The Next You Will Be Climbing On Walls In A Desert. But This Half Is Where Things Start To Show But Other Than That.. It Feels Unfinished And Thats Where This Review Ends Really. Sonic & Knuckles Is Good But Something Is Missing So I Give Sonic & Knuckles A 6/10 its Time For Sonic The Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles Full Review »
