Ooh, Metal Sonic! DeluxeGamer123
When I stumbled upon this game, I thought it looked really cool! Metal Sonic is one of my favorite Sonic characters, so I knew this would be fun. And it was! I'll go over the basics first.
Graphics get an 8. I think most of the animations for Metal Sonic are done really well! He animates smoothly and it looks great. The animations seem to mimic the ones used in Sonic 4: Episode Metal. And that's not the only time inspiration is take from that game, either. There are a few things I don't like about Metal's graphics, such as the Super Sonic sprite, and the goal plate art, but I think they're done pretty well.
Sound gets a 7. I noticed that the Spin Dash sound effects sounded a bit more hydraulic. Other than that minor difference, I didn't notice any other sound modifications.
Addictiveness gets a 6. The idea of this game is fun, but there isn't that much that has changed. The only differences I noticed were a double jump. Which, again, is taken from Sonic 4: Episode Metal.
Story gets a 3, mostly just because there isn't really a new one. It's just Sonic 3&Knuckles, but with Metal Sonic.
Depth gets a 4. As I said, I is just Sonic 3&Knuckles. Having a double jump/midair dash does add minor exploration, but nothing other than that is worth noting.
Difficulty: 5. Again, just Sonic 3 &Knuckles. Not incredibly hard.
Overall, this game gets an 8.5. It's a fun little mod/hack that is certainly interesting, it seems like Sonic 3&Knuckles: Episode Metal. I think you should give it a try, even if it doesn't have too much to offer.

Metal Sonic & Knuckles LilGB
So Metal Sonic in Sonic 3 & knuckles
It's an interesting hack using Metal due to its abilities.
Graphics 8: I grew up with this game it looks great despite being nearly 30 years old. Metals graphic look good but the sprite for when you gain a continue looks off, also there's no sprite of it when you enter the bonus stages.
Sound: 8 I love the soundtrack, its stuck in my head since I was a kid growing up in the 90s. The music did sound a bit off at times, in the special stages & some zones where the sound would get quiet or lag.
Addictive 6: I'd go back to it just to get all 14 emeralds & finish with solo Metal etc.
Story hasn't changed from the original, stop Dr Robotnik.
Depth 6: Aside from playing as Metal, not much to offer unless you really want to explore the game. Using it was fun but movement felt a bit slippery with Metal, especially in the super form, also the dash jump sometimes didn't register & I'd miss a jump.
Difficulty 5: S3&K isn't a hard game, even the final stages can be cleared with practice & watching the boss patterns.
It was a fun hack & hopefully Metal will be in other Sonic games.
