Played via Sonic Mega Collection for the Nintendo GameCube.
I get the idea. I made it to the final boss but couldn’t finish it. Kinda disappointing considering this is my least favorite Sonic game by far. I had to think long and hard about whether I think the OG Sonic was better compared to Sonic 3, but there’s a feeling of natural progression that OG Sonic has compared to this one. This is needlessly tougher to get through with drawn-out stages that rely on fighting a boss at the end of each one. Enemy robots are hidden a lot, so unlike the OG Sonic where you could learn from your mistakes and pinpoint where to not get hit, Sonic 3 doesn’t work like that. The game is just frustrating and not as satisfying as the previous two I’ve played. Great gameplay and graphics with solid music and a creative story, plus some of the stage elements are pretty fun.
What surprises me is how people think this is the best classic Sonic game. To me, it feels like Sega’s long con.

It’s funny, I almost thought my first hot take on Backloggd would be that I thought Sonic CD was better than Sonic 2. I realized I didn’t agree with that opinion, but I’m sorry, Sonic CD is so close to what makes Sonic 2 a great game. It has a basic story premise for an early era Sonic game, creative levels with wonderfully quirky mechanics, and a fun vibe overall that makes it easy to want to go back to. In terms of replay value, I would pick this over Sonic 2 even though I like Sonic 2 more. Sonic CD just radiates the power of speed, and it’s clearly attuned to what Sonic is capable of. This is a game that the character deserves and it honors his core characteristics even without saying anything.
Where Sonic CD struggles is, for starters, with its music, considering the national differences between the OG and western release versions. It just doesn’t have the classic tone to the first game or the epic urgency of Sonic 2. Also a hindrance is the overbearing final boss battle from Metallic Madness Act 3. I can’t help but wish for the simplicity and straightforwardness of Sonic 2’s final boss battle, for in Sonic CD it relies on complicated mechanics and a slow start following up to a slow climax. A bummer, because this game is almost better than Sonic 2, but I can’t quite give it that honor.
