I don't know what some people have got against these games. Alright, so Crash can only go in one direction, but frankly I prefer games such as this which are non-stop action to games in which the object seems to be to wander around aimlessly and get hopelessly lost.

The levels in this game are imaginative and the characters are interesting and humerously-designed. Crash himself makes a likeable hero (something missing from too many games these days) and there is plenty of running and jumping.

The only let-down is the fact that later levels can get frustrating after a while. If you get hit so much as once you get sent back no short distance.

But overall, the Crash series are the first decent platform games with real long-term appeal I've come across since 1994's Sonic & Knuckles on the Mega-Drive. If you're the owner of a Playstation then this game is unmissable.

How can Crash eat all those apples and still be so skinny?

I don't know what so many people have against this series. Personally I prefer games which are all action to games which just seem to involve wandering around becoming hopelessly lost and ending up going around in circles getting nowhere. This is an excellent example of the best kind of platform game with lots of running, jumping, item-collecting and baddie-avoiding. The game is filled with imaginatively-designed levels and humorous, well-thought-out characters. The exception to this is Tawna, Crash's girlfriend, but thankfully she only appears briefly (there is already enough blatant sexism in adventure games without it invading this kind of cartoony environment). Tawna was wisely dispensed with before Part 2 came out.

Minor gripes aside, however, this is solid platform action, the best I've played since Sonic & Knuckles on the Megadrive. Crash himself makes a likeable and interesting hero, something sadly missing from a lot of video games.

THE BEST GAME OF ALL TIME

It's that simple Crash Bandicoot is the best game of all time. It crushes Mario 64 and places right up there with Goldeneye and Jumping Flash. Why you may ask? Well, it may seem only fair in rating standards, but it is simply so much fun. From the hog chasing level to the boss Pinstripe the Potteroo. Combine this with excellent graphics and immersive game play make this a real winner. That and the story's pretty cool. So strap on your helmate and prepare for battle with APAAATARAIACAK, CAUSE THIS IS ONE WILD RIDE.

Sony has an excellent response to Sonic the Hedgehog

Because it is a CD based unit a lot of the games on the Sony Playstation have a tendancy to be slow in their game play, especally while they boot up into the system. "Crash Bandicoot" does not have a lot of statistics that it needs to download so all you have to do is hit start and within moments the fun begins. With rich graphics and an adorable character "Crash Bandicoot" will have people who enjoy games like "Sonic the Hedgehog" and "Donkey Kong" sitting on their couches and playing this game until their thumbs become rigid with arthritis. Young children whll enjoy Crash's antics, especally when the game comes to a stop for a few moments and Crash is forced to wait for the player to continue. Older players will like all of the hidden extra levels and bonuses that they can trip over during game play.

Crash Bandicoot is the best. If you are patient and like running around crashing boxes open, jumping over holes in the ground, running under jungle rollers, and doing away with skunks, this is the game for you! There is only one problem that I found. You can crash certain boxes open to get a free life, but when you run out of them, you have to do the previous level over, too. But don't worry. I am an impatient person sometimes, and I get along fine. I just bought this game, believe it or not, and it's the coolest.

this game is the best!

The orginal Crash Bandicoot is pretty good. The graphics have a cartoonish feel instead of the 3-D look of Crash Bandicoot: Warped. The first cople of levels are pretty easy but then it just gets hard. There is no advancing in the difficultly, it just does from simpe to alost impossible. The 4th level is probably one of the hardest in the games which confuses me. In my personal opinion, the game should be easy till about the 5th level then increase in difficultly so it doesn't appear obvious that the level you are playing is very hard. The bosses are quite easy to defeat except for N. Brio, who is twice has hard the main enemy, N. Brutus. The game, though, is a lot better than any of the Marios or Banjo-Koozies. The sercet levels give you extra lifes that will definately help you later on in the game. The game in my personal opinio, is a little to childish. The characters are child-like except for the main villian and the attacks are pretty tame. But overall, the game is great for your kids. It has a possiblity of being one of the best adventure series ever and it is definately the best game on the Playstaion consule. Of course, that's only my opinion.

This game is definitely no Mario 64.

Where's the 3-D quality? After playing superior games like Mario 64 and Donkey Kong 64,the game is just too linear and doesn't present much in the way of graphics. Throughout the game I felt hindered by the outdated 2-D feel. You can only move Crash forward or backward. Also, why in the world is this lackluster game so difficult yet incredibly boring? The only virtue of Crash is that once you acquire the code that opens up all the levels; the game can be manipulated to a small degree of satisfaction. If you want a true platform experience, stick with N64, otherwise this title is virtually worthless.
