This is the best game I have ever played, on any system, ever. Everything about it is great. Level design, music and all

Crash Bandicoot 3 Warped is the greatest game of all time. It has wonderful level design, graphics are as good as they got for its time and the music is just totally flawless. Yep Naughty Dog has done it again and they have taken the previous 2 Crash games and as good as they are, Naughty dog just took them and made them 1000000000000000 times better and made Crash 3. Packed with new features, Warped, kept the series fresh without changing too much. The new features are Super Powers which are granted after defeating a boss and are Super Belly Flop, Double Jump, Tornado spin, Bazooka and Speedy shoes. Another new feature was Time Trial which allowed the player to replay the level, trying to get as fast a time as possible. To help you with this were numbered crates, which ranged from 1 to 3. The number on the crate caused the clock to be frozen for that number of seconds. Completing time trials rewarded the player with a relic, which could be Sapphire, Gold or Platinum, Sapphire meant you just got there in time and Platinum meant you were super fast. Your speedy shoes helped with this. The last new feature was that you got to play as Coco Bandicoot in some levels, but you are either in a jet ski or on top of a baby tiger and could not actually play as Coco herself.

The levels in this game are extremely well designed. With lush surroundings and some little hidden things in a couple of levels, the design made you want to sit and watch the same scene all day and not even play the game. But in actual fact you just could not do that because the gameplay is just too fun and addictive. The gameplay is very similar to the previous titles but with the new features, it is even better. In some levels you are on a motorbike and have to race your opponents to the end to get a crystal which is the main object of the game. These levels are very well done as are all the other levels. This game even wins on the music score, because not one level has annoying music. The music for all levels is excellent and can easily be a tune you are humming around the house. The sound effects work well as well, with Crash's trademark "Woh!" being heard often when he dies.

The main object of the game is to collect all 25 crystals, defeating Dr Neo Cortex and his cronies while you are at it. The gems and relics are there as a way to get 100% and in the end 105%. Gems are awarded by breaking every box in the level and coloured gems are awarded for different things.

Overall Crash Bandicoot 3 Warped is the best game of all time. I can not stress that enough. I would recommend this game to anyone of any age and gaming ability because it does not take very long to get the hang of this game. If you are looking for a good solid platformer, come straight to this game and the other games in the Crash series because they are really fun.
