Most would say Advance 3 is super flawed. I on the other hand am dumb and think it’s super fantastic. It does have issues with collision detection and enemy placement, I won’t deny that. What I love about this game though is the amazing team system which adds so much replay value and depth to the levels. Plus the stages are way more enjoyable than Advance 1 or 2 imo, with a great blend of both platforming and speed and plenty of creative set pieces. Is that not enough? How about the collectible chaos? Or the ranking system? Or the minigames? Maybe I just have bad opinions. But I honestly think Advance 3 is one of the most underrated games in the series. And no, I didn’t grow up with it.

This game has been beaten to death. So much so that saying it’s been beaten to death is beaten to death. Anyways, I think Sonic’s playstyle is the best that Sonic’s ever played in 3D with explorative levels and mostly fluid controls. I don’t really care for the other playstyles since they’re super shallow, but they’re at least short. Big’s playstyle is insufferable though. Oh and the cutscenes are unskippable in the dreamcast version who thought this was a good idea anyways Sonic Adventure is pretty fun

Quite possibly my favorite game I've ever played, and one of the few games I've ever cried at. I wish I could go in depth but I'll probably hit a character limit so I'll keep it simple. The story and characters are some of the best I've ever seen in a platformer, the soundtrack is a banger, the art direction is beautiful, and the gameplay is amazing puzzle platformer action. The worst I can say about it is that playing this game is pretty annoying since copies are super rare and PS2 emulators can barely run this game at all. If you somehow manage to get your hands on it though, I would highly highly highly recommend experiencing it for yourself.

Mega Man at its very core has always been about options. Selecting stages in any order you want, using whichever special weapon you prefer, etc. Mega Man Zero 3 encapsulates and achieves that tenfold. You're offered so much variety from your weapons skills, enhancement chips, cyber-elves, combo system, and how you approach stages and bosses that the replay value is practically endless. There are some serious balancing issues sadly, and the game is noticeably easier than the other Zero games. But top the unlimited variety with mostly fun levels, an amazing story, and great spritework and music for the GBA and you have what amounts to what I'd easily call the best Mega Man game. ...And what plenty others agree with nowadays.

Apparently I'm the first person to review this game on the site lol. That should speak volumes for how obscure it is. It has some fun puzzles to solve, and some songs are amazing. So amazing they were remixed in Klonoa 2! That sums up everything interesting about this game. The story is completely forgettable, the spritework isn't nearly as good as some other wonderswan games and the experience starts to get arduous and bland as the game goes on. Also some songs make me want to rip my ears out. Play the GBA games instead. ...It's no wonder no one else could write a review for this game.

You know how everyone hates Mario 64 DS for remaking a game designed for a control stick on a console with a d-pad? Well, how about remaking a game designed for two control sticks on a console with only one stiff nub, and half the buttons to boot? This alone ruins the game. Catching monkeys went from super fluid to super tedious and clunky. Even the movement speed and jumping are so much more sluggish compared to the original. I guess the updated presentation is technically an improvement, but it lacks any of the charm the original had. Compare the monkeys on the boxart for both games and you'll see what I mean. I'm not exaggerating when I say this is one of the worst remakes I've ever played. Not only are there no substantial improvements, but it actively ruins the experience you could be having. Oh, and the load times? They would make Sonic 06 blush.

I’d like to start this review by talking about the horrendous PS3 version. Don’t play it, even if all you have is a PS3. Unless you want to deal with constant slowdown, screen tearing, random freezing and crashes, annoying glitches, voices cutting out, abysmally long load times (it seriously took me five minutes to return to the pod), and the works. If I were basing this off the PS3 version I’d rate it a 3/10.

The PS4 version on the other hand... is fun but still not that great. It's still the same floaty platforming and level creator as the first two games, and the story mode does offer some really fun puzzles and such. But almost everything new it adds feels really gimmicky and underutilized, the game is rampant with glitches and bugs, and the online barely works. It's just a huge disappointment, especially after how ambitious the second game was.
