    I played this game and it was far inferior to many other sonic games, so if you have to play sonic choose Sonic 2 or something other than this. Hope I helped

    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.
  2. Not quite a stone-cold classic, but close enough to make the low asking price a no-brainer.
  3. 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.
