A decent game, but I have seen better from the Crash series.

I bought this game thinking it would live up to the old PlayStation One games. I was dissapointed to find that Crash had lost it's edge.

The layout of the game is exactly the same as Crash 3: Warped. Five different 'worlds' to conquer each with their own individual bosses. However, Crash 3 is a much better game than this one. It seems that the makers of this have just lost all sense of imagination. There is only ONE boss character who crash has to defeat five times. I was not amused.

The game took me about three or four weeks to complete, but I was quite bored. I could have done it in less that half a day if I wanted to. The way you control Crash and the camera angles become extremely irritating throughout the game. The graphics isn't the best. In fact, it is pretty bad - you can walk through obvious solid objects and the animations for when he dies aren't even funny. Too many of the levels are ones that are different from the normal running around with Crash we see a lot in the previous games (e.g. Crash in a helicopter). I can go on and on and on...

However, this game becomes addictive once you have completed it. One time I woke up in the morning and thought 'I want to complete it again'. It's completely weird. I don't like this game, but then again it's okay and much more enjoyable for the littler ones and immature kids to teenagers. But still... Crash Bandicoot 2 and 3 are better games... by far.

Thanks for reading, Jem.
