Good clean fun
There are no firearms or explosives required here, just one genetically modified bandicoot. Great fun to learn, many interesting obstacles to avoid/destroy and some excellent level bosses. The repetition may get to some more serious gamers though, and those who've played the more progressive Crash 3.
Graphics: This is no place for subtle shades and detailed textures. This is a cartoon game - bright, bouncy, smooth and rightly so. A few people may not feel at home with it's surrealism but the protagonist is a sapient marsupial so surreal is par for the course. Keep your eyes out when you mess up and die as well, because Crash can expire in some hilarious ways.
Sound: Simple, fast-paced. frenetic jingles to fill the silence. By no means bad, but potentially annoying for some. Crash's personal SFX are quite amusing but thankfully not as insistent.
Value: Don't expect too much. The most part of the game is pretty simple for mid-teens and above but there are some serious challenges (and I mean it) for the 100%er.
Tilt: High, for the sheer fun value. Not a serious game, but doesn't need to be.
