True, this game isn't the best Sonic Game, but It is still one of the best games for Saturn, PC, or Genesis. The Graphics are great, The gameplay is good, sound is AWESOME, and the storyline is more original than any other Sonic game there is!
I'd say get this game if you are a hardcore Sonic fan, (like me) or just want to find a good Saturn game. This is totally recommended.

you are playing the first of its kind, a 3d sonic game.
i can say it awesome, but i comparison to Sonic Adventure it is put behind in the dust

These isn't much in this game that wasn't in the Genesis version, but it is worth it for its CD-quality soundtrack and real-time rendered Special Stages. Also, having more colors than the Genesis' 56 adds a nice touch.

Funner than the Genesis version(Still, the Genesis version is cool!), better than all isometric games, better than ever, more Sonic!One of the greatest Sonic classics! Better graphics! Better Special stages!Better music!Better controls!This is one Sonic game you're going to want!

It is the mid-90s. Video game companies are still at in a big competition that has a never-ending finish line. The Nintendo 64 comes with Super Mario 64 as a launch title, and the Sega Saturn arrives into the scene with....a remake of Sonic 3D Blast. What the heck, Sega? The Saturn launch title is a rehash of a Genesis game. This proved that Sega just wasn't trying anymore. That is, until the Dreamcast came and went. However, there was another Sonic game that was originally going to be made, but ended up being scrapped. That game was Sonic Xtreme, which promised to be a full 3D Sonic adventure with a pre-Mario Galaxy kind of mix of environments.

Now because Sonic Xtreme is cancelled, the Saturn is long forgotten and it doesn't have an original Sonic game. That doesn't mean 3D Blast is a bad choice to release for the system, though.

Sonic 3D Blast is a radical departure from the other classic Sonics. It takes gameplay from the Flicky arcade/Genesis game, and throws Sonic action and great fake 3D into the blender!

The music is really well-done and it sounds kind of...heavenly. But I rather prefer the Genesis version's music because those pieces of music are more memorable and catchy. The graphics are truly a big step up from the Genesis game, I'll give it that.

There are so many zones in this game that you probably wouldn't have time to finish the game. The bad part about that is that there's no saving or loading, BUT the closest thing to that is the level select. The level select can only be accessed by a button code. The version for the Sega Genesis can be tilted to access it. It's secretive, yeah, but it's the closet thing to a save feature. That's what makes it superior over the Saturn game: Easy level select access.

The main gameplay is about saving Flickies after you kill the Badniks. Then you must toss 'em into a giant ring that lets you go to the next part of the level.

Shields are still present. There's the regular shield, the fire shield, and a golden one that lets you use the Homing Attack, a new addition to Sonic games since Sonic Adventure, in which that game and so on lets you use it as a normal attack.

Overall, the Flicky/Sonic style action has made a unique twist on the series, but I would rather stick with the Genesis game.

You might think that you have this game already,but you do not and yet you kinda do if that makes any sense. You might have this game for the sega genesis or on a newer system they are all the same version except for this one for sega saturn. The only difference is that more little details are added and the sound track has been replaced by a much better one.The colors have been changed and the bridge instead of being stationary moves and creeks. So it is the same game with some modifacations, which makes it the best version of this game. Sadly though the only way to play this game is with a sega saturn and if you are like me you are running out of connections in the back of the tv.

This game isn't much like the other in the Sonic series, but is a very well produced one. The soundtrack is almost worth buying it alone. The gameplay is pretty good for your not average Sonic title. The special stages are great fun as well. They are like a full 3D version of the ones in Sonic 2.

I got this game hoping it would be just as good as any sonic game on the market, maybe even better! This game is WAY to easy. Don't get me wrong, the graphics are incredibale! There is just no point to this game. My friend also has this, or I should say HAD it. He smashed it and threw it in the trash he hated it so much. Don't buy this. Get sonic and knucles instead.
