Thinking about picking it up... I never had it the first time around. Does it really add alot of replay value to 2 and 3 or is it a gimmick?

It doesn't add much replay value to 2 and 3, unless you just like climbing on stuff a lot. The game itself is pretty decent on its own, I would get it for that.
Considering how cheap you can get it these days, my answer is OF COURSE!
Some would have argued that point when it first came out. I bought it and I felt that it added enough replay value for me. More so was the fact that it could be played on it's own. It's a good game. If you're a Sonic fan I think it's a must own.
Buy it if you own Sonic 3. It adds the S&K levels to the S3 game and 2 more save slots. This was the way it was meant to be played.
As for Sonic 2, it just lets you play as Knuckles, nothing else.
And for Sonic 1, it lets you play any level of the blue sphere bonus stage. To play as Knuckles in Sonic 1 you will have to download a ROM hack.
Get it! I got mine for 10 bucks, so there's no reason not to.
does s&K work with the sonic classics 3-in-1 versions of 1 and 2?
On its own, it's the closest thing to a Sonic 4 that we ever got. In reality, it is the 2nd half of Sonic 3. Sonic 3 was originally planned to include what became Sonic & Knuckles, but Sega demanded the game be released before it was truly completed. Which is why Sonic 3 ends rather abruptly in the 6th stage.
If your a sonic/sega fan, then yes. It is worthwhile on its own, and by adding extras to 2 & 3

If you can get it cheap, S&K is worth it.
I honestly feel like Sonic 3 solo is better than the "complete" package, but that's just me.
I liked Sonic & Knuckles alot more than Sonic 3, but putting the two games together is like making sweet, sweet love to a beautiful woman (give or take).
I say yes...pick it up...its cheap.
