If you didn't like the first two why would you even give the time of day to the third? By that point it's easy to say "these just aren't for me" and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that.

If that's what you were trying to say, then that's fine. If you're not into S2 then S3 probably isn't going to be your thing either. But I am saying that, in my opinion, Sonic 2 is excellent but Sonic 3 just does the final refinement of the whole package. It does refine the level design a bit more, while making the whole package prettier, and the story telling is much more polished. Plus, game saves helps a lot considering its size. But yeah, by the time they made Sonic 2, the feel of the 2D series was set. If you can't enjoy Sonic 2, I would not recommend Sonic 3. That said, if someone wanted to try out the series or never gave it a fair shake beyond 5 minutes on S1 or S2, I'd highly recommend giving S3, S&K or even S3&K a solid try. There's nothing wrong with skipping the earlier titles, but Sonic 2 is most definitely a finished Sonic game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaia Gensouki | 1,076 Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Might and Magic VI was amazing and my introduction into this franchise. MM VII made it a bit easier and much more beginner-friendly. I've always wanted to play the earlier games in chronological order, but never really got around to it. I've tried the first game on the NES and its difficulty is relentless. But this was par for the course back in the day and it's quite the huge and amibitious dungeon crawler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you like VI and VII you'd be fine with III, IV and V. And probably II. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm kinda tempted to play the console versions of II and III, but I still remember your review saying that at least MM III on the SNES is buggy and broken. But yeah, eventually I'll try to get around to playing them in one way or another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not well played on the genesis library so I tried not to vote where I didn’t have experience. On the flip side, I’ve played enough to know Sonic 2 is a great game lmaoooo I mean cmon most people only see what’s next to play on Genesis after they are done with Sonic, it’s the main draw to the system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like asking how UConn won it all as a #7 seed that one time. Sometimes the top overall seed (Streets of Rage 2) has an off day 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
