I use to think it was fun. But then I thought to myself... what about the original series?

This game was fun at first and it seemed cool when I was younger. But then I started to realize that it was the original series from Naughty Dog that was the major fun ones. I mean look, even the new Crash games are all crappy. I'm just happy that I own a copy of Crash 2, 3, and CTR. It brings back major memories.
If you don't care about this issue, go ahead. Play it if you're for the gameplay alone. Otherwise, try out the original games and see if you change your mind. The PSX days are long gone now, obviously, but I remember all the fun I had.
I change my rating from an all 8 score (gameplay, graphics, etc.) to a 7.0 due to the fact that for some reason GS doesn't let you be more specific in the ratings anymore. But I will tell you now, it wasn't all that bad once I got into it.
