            I have never managed to beat the game, can't imagine how some people claim to do so in 5 hours.  My 5 year old has finally figured out how to play these games on the playstation.   She was getting frustrated with Crash, until I found the code that allows you to go to any level and play.  Plus if you go to the Castle Machinery level first, you get 20 some free lives and then can go where you want.  Find the password screen and punch in: T(triangle),T,T,T,X,S(square),T,T,T,T,S,X,T,O,T,T,T,O,S,T,X,X,X,X. Maybe it is cheating, but for us folks that have a hard time beating the game, it makes playing it more fun!

            I remember telling my mom and my little brother that this game looked stupid and that I didn't wanna play it when they first got a Playstation and this game.  I finally gave in and played it however.  After playing it  for the first time, I got hooked and it was AWESOME.  It has some of the  best graphics I had seen at the time and most of the levels are fun.  It  got me hooked so bad, that my family couldn't get me away from it.  I told  them that I was going to beat the game first and that it was their fault  that I got addicted to the game and wanted to beat it in my first few  sittings because they had begged me to play it and now I couldn't quit  playing it.  
What I liked best about it was the great graphics and that  unlike a lot of video games I've played, it has a good challenge to it.   Some of the levels are almost impossibly hard, but most of them are well  balanced to give you a good challenge while not being overly difficult or  easy.  It also has good replay value.  I've beat this game about 5 times.   Every now and then it's fun to just take Crash Bandicoot for a spin if you  want to play a fun game.  I recommend this title to anyone.

            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.

            This game is the most thrilling game i have ever played. If you like games where you go through so many levels and get secret bonuses and passwords this is the game for you!
        
            
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.

            alot of people that own n64 get jealous of games like crash bandicoot,saying that boring mario 64 and donkey kong 64 are better. those games are stupid and they both copie each other they both collect stars or bannanas,in crash you fight evil bosses get chased by bolders jump over deep holes and kill dangerous jungle creatures and fight neo cortex...

            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.
        
            
AWESOME GAME!

            Crash Bandicoot is an awesome game.  It is one of the most addictive games there is.  The levels are all great and there are great graphics.  The game is a lot of fun also.  Crash is really cool-looking! BUY IT!
