Not bad games, but overrated and not aged too well.
Sonic 3 and knuckles is my favourite mega drive sonic game, it massively major mogs 1 and 2, no questions asked.
I'll start with sonic 1, shall I?
Ok first off, I'm not too keen on the zones having 3 acts each and there only being 6 levels in the game.
Green hill, marble, spring yard and starlight are good zones, but my favourites of the 4 are green hill and starlight.
Labyrinth and scrap brain can take a big ol slurp on my John Thomas.
In fact, scrap brains act 3 reuses Labyrinth zone, so it's like one zone is trying to top the other on how shit it is.
Both Labyrinth and scrap brain have too many traps and hazards, especially scrap brain, so beating the stage with 50 rings is highly difficult and a real pain in the ass.
Speaking of, getting the 6 chaos emeralds is pointless because you only unlock the true ending, and not anything like a new level or secret final boss.
The special stages can also be fucking annoying, but the mog the ones in sonic 2.
And about sonic 2, in many ways it mogs 1 but still fucks some things up.
The game has 12 zones with 2 acts, which is good, but no saving your progress.
RPGs that came out in the 80s on the nes can let you save your progress, even mega drive RPGs could too, but sonic 2, a game that came out in 1992 did not.
And speaking of the zones, I hate metropolis zone, not only because it goes on too long, but it has 3 acts!
So yay, one of the worse levels in the game has 3 acts.
And btw, my favourite zones from 2 are emerald hill, aquatic ruin, casino night, mystic cave and hill top.
I never cared too much for chemical plant or oil ocean, and I don't like metropolis, sky chase or wing fortress.
I'm not including the death egg, because that's not really a zone, there's no level to play through.
The special stages really twist my asshole and boil my piss.
You have to rely on memorization to know when the rings and bombs will come, and there's no indication to let you know.
And don't you dare play the special stages as sonic with tails, because while that lil nigger can collect rings you miss, he can easily lose them because his movement is slightly delayed.
For some reason, the sonic 2 special stages have become a template for special stages in future sonic games like 3D blast, heroes, rush and some others I can't think of rn.
Playing as tails is pointless because you can't fly as him for some reason, and that was his selling point too, he could fly.
The co-op in this game is a joke too, how the fuck is anyone going to play sonic 2 with 2 players when the player playing as sonic speeds off and constantly leaves you off screen?
It's not like the 2 player is split screen.
And for the record, I'm talking about playing the main game with 2 players, not the racing mode that I never gave a toss for.
Only thing I like about it is that the stages on it have different music.
Oh, and I don't like that to play as super sonic after getting all the emeralds, you have to just jump.
This is shit because you could turn super went you don't want to.
there's this one glitch where, after you unlock super sonic and beat a boss with over 50 rings, if you jump after releasing the animals, sonics super transformation would happen, but he gets stuck in the air, which soft locks the game.
So yeah, when I do play 2, I always play as sonic alone and activate the zone select cheat and enable super sonic.
Again, I don't think these 2 games are bad, but they've not aged well and sonic 3 and knuckles mog them both into oblivion.
