"Revenge of the Sith strives for a stronger emotional story... and as such, it fails even harder than the other two movies"

So true!

"Keep up the good work Reprise. I'm jealous you're able to post away on a daily basis and I'm still doing... 2 per week."

Thanks man, but there's no way I'm going to be able to keep this up haha. We'll see though :lol:

Nice review. Damnit! You're making me want to finally finish my current Sonic 3&K playthrough. And I have to get my entire apartment packed up this weekend! Right now my save state was last used... in December. I had started it after writing my Sonic 1 and 2 reviews... then I decided to maybe write about something else besides Sonic. And I just haven't returned to it yet. I just don't find it to be a very compelling game, to be honest. It doesn't have that same warm, breezy feeling like Sonic 2. The entire game just sort of bounces back and forth between on-rails set pieces and frustrating platforming segments... whereas Sonic 2 managed to find a sweet spot in between.
I review (mostly old) games at: The Annals of Retrodom.

I cannot friggin' stand those games. Always nice to hear other perspectives though.

I've been meaning to play that Knuckles game on 32X forever...

Thanks guys. I don't know if I mentioned it in my review, but my bloody cartridges don't work for Sonic 3 & Knuckles anymore when they're combined (they work as separate cartridges though). I think I got it to work like once, but otherwise I just get a blank screen 99% of the time. Maybe the top cartridge slot of S&K is clogged with dirt. I'll have to try cleaning the contacts some time.

So I just played the Sonic Jam version.

since the gloves came off with Revenge Of The Sith, I have no problem stating that Sonic 3 & Knuckles stinks.

I love Sonic, 2, and CD. But 3 and S&K... meh.

Ico is amazing tho.

Sonic 2 is ridiculously superior to Sonic 3 & Knuckles, so it doesn't bother me too much when people hate it.
