Like it's recently remade Crash Trilogy cousin, this game is beautiful. The skins are an especially nice addition, keeping you playing without requiring micro-transactions.
Unfortunately, also like the other remake, the controls are not for original players. While a great game in its own right, it is not the same game I played for hours every day as a kid. The combination of changed physics and handling yield an extremely frustrating experience for anyone with muscle memory from the original.
