Well Spyro and Crash have come a long way, and while in my opinion Crash has survived much less pain then Spyro, I find it very strange Spyro is being milked for cash instead.

Anyway I believe this will most likely be the LAST GEN these 2 franchises will probably show up. The Spyro game coming out took forever and isn't even about Spyro, andCrash has seen nothing but an IOS racing game. Both series have had cancellations and loss of finacial support to even bother with them.

So as I believe the end is finally coming near, I would look at all the games for each series from the 5th gen, till now on all the consoles they have been on until now, and FINALLY decide which one of these franchises is the best. Which has more games that still are playable in time, which was more interesting, had better design.

So SW it's time to settle which of these characters has had the better games through the generations. Crash Bandicoot or Spyro the Dragon!

Spyro the Dragon:

(What have they done!?)

Anyway there's a poll so now it's time to end this argument as there's so much evidence that these characters will be gone next gen we must know which one has been the better of the two for all these years!!!

The two series died for me when Insomniac and Naughty Dog ditched them but I've always preferred the Crash Bandicoot games.

I liked Crash Bandicoot when Naughty Dog had control of it. I didn't like Spyro at all.

Personally, i fell the Crash games had more variety while the Spyro games seemd scared to change the formula. Until they did that trilogy where they turned Spyro into god of war ala linear button mashing. Then they made that thing. The last picture of Spyro in the OP.

This thread is deja vu. Seriously, the 1st 10 or so posts are identical to the other thread's.

Grew up with Spyro games. Crash for me was that kinda cool game I always used to play at my cousin's house as a kid :P

Spyro for me, Spyro 2 pretty much defined my childhood.

I wish someone would hammer these two zombie-titles back into the ground where they belong. I can't speak for Spyro, but I think Crash died when the PS2 came out. It had run its course.

I go with Crash but the gap between them is rather small, also I think both became bad after the 3rd title (well with the exclusion of CTR)

Crash all the way. I've played a little bit of Mind Over Mutant and it's a lot of fun so far. It's rather low on priority for my backlog though.

The first two Crash games were very good. Never got into Spyro though...so Crash would win for me.

Crash died when Naughty Dog ditched the franchise. The first three games are some of my favorites on the PSX.

Crash also had a platforming game on the DS this generation that wasn't bad. It wasn't real Crash but it was still a decent platformer, other than a boss that i can beat. So I say Crash is better. He's changed a lot, but hasn't been destroyed as much as Spyro. Either way, they were both best on the PS1.

Spyro died when Insomniac left it, and Crash died when Naughty Dog left it. I can't decide between the two, I love them both too much.
