crash warped is fun,exciting,and definitly the best in the series. Editors choice classic.
The bad:Framerate issues, espicialy the PS3 port.main game is over in 5-6 hours. vehicle parts can be frustrating.PSP controls are mapped in odd places.
Editors note:This review is based on the PSone,PSP,and PS3 game.I played all three versions and "truly" experienced it before.
Crash bandicoot, one of my favorite videogames in my childhood (about 4 to 7) i was hit with excitement when i discoverd my crash bandicoot 1 and 2 when i found it in a box. But i was dissapointed when i found out my favorite one,warped,was found split in half.i got frustrated but enjoyed crash bandicoot,Had a blast with cortex strikes back but found it to be too easy.
3? i was WARPED!!!!(hint i got it off PStore)
Crash and coco were just messing around at home when suddenly aku aku tells them about his evil brother uka uka (sorry if i got em wrong) then its all ablout warping into awesome levels and collecting crystals.
one of the reasons warped was my favorite was because of its great level design. And boy is it great. Instead of being forced to go through same looking places, you go through egypt,mediviel times,tombs,underwater,future city,dinosaur times...*pant* its just awesome. The vehicle parts ill admit were frustrating,but most of the time they are a blast.
And the platformig and puzzles are great too,Youll be dodging pits and frogs in medival,quickly running through a path before it fills with water (excuse me for going off topic but doesnt that sound like the classic"out of this world'?)shooting missiles underwater,and so much more.Also, if you found crash bandicoot to be too hard,and if you found crash bandicoot 2 to be too easy,warped is a balance between the two. in fact youll actually get the game over screen atleast a dozen times. but the length is short. but theres time trails,and gems to find,both pretty hard to do.
The graphics are actually pretty good. every character animates beautifly,textures are pretty good for the PS1 and for the most part, the framerate is good, though the framerate rarely goes down on ps1, the psp version can drop sometimes and the ps3 version runs slower than the psp amd ps1.that and the jittery effect of Psone games graphics but other than that, this is one of the best looking psone games in history.
the sound is good too.The music stayed in my head for years (thats a good thing.) and the sound and voice acting a perfect.
Overall crash bandicoot warped had me in a truly "WARPING" experience. so if you dont have it, get a PS card and go to the Pstore.if your wondering about dusting off your disc copy of the game,go ahead. its worth it.
