This game has everything! Great graphics and an intense story line. I suggest picking this title up for yourself for hours of enjoyment.

A fun little platform game for the whole family

Featuring a colorful 3D world, cute characters, and musical ditties that you just can't get out of your head, Croc is a platform game designed to appeal to game players of all ages. The game has been criticized because it borrows ideas from a lot of other platform games and because it's not terribly difficult. In my mind, those aren't such bad things. Croc a unique game in that casual gamers can easily learn the controls and progress without having to possess superhuman reflexes. My only gripe is that the camera is occasionally problematic, making some jumps more difficult than they need to be. Overall, however, the game is what a good platformer should be--fun.

A great game for all ages

Croc is the perfect video game for parents to get for their young children. Not only is it great fun, but also gore and mindless violence are completely absent. To get rid of an enemy, Croc can use his tail swipe or jump on the ground near, but not necessarily on, the enemy. This makes it easier for kids. Also, the enemies reappear after 30 seconds or so, making it less like they are getting killed. While Croc can be fun and easy for children, it can also be challenging enough for parents so that they don't get bored when they play along. Even people without children will enjoy this game. Factor in the cute noises and movements that Croc makes, and you have a winner for those with or without kids. I give it two thumbs up!

Doesn't warrant all the 5-star reviews

This game is certainly cute, and worth a look, but it hardly warrants all the 5-star reviews it has garnered here. The developers of Croc have created a beautiful and interesting world, but the game is not exactly perfect for young players, and it is definitely not a perfect platformer. Kids (and adults) will likely become frustrated with the controls, both of the camera and of your character Croc. Croc, like other platformers, is mainly about getting your character to achieve complex, acrobatic moves - hopping from object to object, dodging or attacking enemies, climbing, collecting objects, etc. Without tight, intuitive control, a platformer is an exercise in frustration and tedium. Croc isn't terrible in this regard, but it is weak enough that it makes me long for my copy of Crash Bandicoot Warped.

One thing I'll give credit for - my girlfriend and I can still imitate Croc with a "ka-POW" or a "ka-POOF" and get a giggle out of it. He and his friends sure are cute.

Very Monotonous

I found this game very boring. All of the bosses were too easy, and it wasn't as good as it could have been. Videogames are supposed to put up a challenge, and it is VERY hard for me to get remotely close to a 100% finish. And this one I got a 96%. I would NOT reccomend this game, the second one seems better though, yet I have never played it before.

Very dissapointing

I bought this game thinking it would be like Crash Bandicoot or Spyro the Dragon. It wasn't. The graphics are pretty good, but the controls are horrible. You keep having to stop and look which way Croc is facing so you know what directional button to push to make him go forward. How this game became a greatest hit I don't know. Overall I gave this game one star, that's all it deserves.

Pretty to look at - awful to control

Though the game is very appealing in regards to its visual style, the controls are abyssmal. In level 1-3 at the end of the level, you are required to perform a "whack-a-mole" type game in order to get the last gobbo. Since the controls (or uncontrols) are glitchy at best and unplayable at worst, the game begins to not be a game and more of a nuisance. The analog versus digital controls have no bearing to eachother and you find yourself toggling back and forth just so you can have some margin of control. A game to avoid by any standard.

Nightmare to control

When I got Croc for my birthday 2 years ago I thought it would be like Crash Bandicott 2. Boy was I wrong, the controlles are like a nightmare. I could not even beat the first boss! Now this game sits on my cd stacker collecting dust. Overall this game is not worth your money.

Croc is O.k. but hard to handle

The story is that the Gobbos ( they look like balls of hair with eyes) found Croc in a basket. The basket was floating in the river. Croc was all by himself so they raised him as their own. Then the Evil Baron Dantinis captured the Gobbos and now Croc must save them. Croc is colorful and the characters are cute. The problem is that Croc is hard to controle. It is almost inposible to get Croc to cross a log without falling off. Also the camera is not moving with Croc. It makes it very hard to see.

Alot of people dont like it but I think its fun!
