Hopefully 4 meets the bar set by 3 then. it is odd to have such a strong third act. Although lots of people will argue that ROTJ and Revenge of the Sith were the best of their respective trilogies (I agree on episode 3 but definitely not on ROTJ) Mario 3 is also my favorite of those games. I guess for every Sonic 3 there are a few Airbuds playing soccer out there to water down the third of three.
