    Tight platforming fun

    Good- Goofy theme and visuals- responsive controls- platforming is very tight. Not much leeway for a bad jump, but it gives the perfect amount of challenge for me- very straight forward controls and mechanics. Great to ... Read Full Review

    Crash Bandicoot play online

    Crash's attacks are reduced to just one button. With his rotation (Tornado Spin), he can smash boxes placed along the way, and kill enemies. The game presents a lot of types of opponents and boxes, each of which will ne... Read Full Review

    The one that started it all is still loads of fun.

    We all know "Crash Bandicoot" by now: the orange marsupial, back in 1996, was made to be Sony's mascot, and his debut game was to be the PlayStation's answer to "Super Mario 64." Even if he didn't stay as Sony's mascot f... Read Full Review

    Gran juego, pero no envejeció muy bien.

    El primer Crash Bandicoot podría ser el peor juego de Naughty Dog, pero, eso no quiere decir que sea algo malo, al contrario, de hecho este juego es técnicamente de 8 o 8,5 pero tengo algunas quejas que son... Read Full Review

    Crash Bandicoot - The game that started it all

    This is likely going to be very bias as this was the very first game I ever played. Back then I had no idea what I was doing, and had next to no skill with a controller (luckily I've pulled my way up to average now).For ... Read Full Review

    While Mario founded the new school, Crash's debut felt old-school

    While this game is kinda good in its own right, there's just no getting around the comparison to Super Mario 64. SM64 wasn't perfect, but it done a much better job at blowing the door open for 3D Platformers to come. Cra... Read Full Review

    The birth of a legend, but not his finest hour

    Aside from possibly Spyro the dragon, no other character could be argued to reign supreme of all things platform game related on the ps1 other than Crash Bandicoot. This game is where it all started for our box destroyin... Read Full Review

    For an Old School platformer it still holds some of the best moments in gaming

    During my time after coming home from school jumping on to my PS1 playing the Crash Bandicoot series, but I never played the first Crash Bandicoot when I was younger but when I got my new phone 3 which was an Xperia Play... Read Full Review

    Crash Bandicoot: a decent platformer hampered by bad ideas

    Before Joel and Ellie, Nathan and Sully, and Jak and Daxter, there was Crash Bandicoot, Naughty Dog's orange marsupial who was the main protagonist in the heralded gaming company's first Playstation franchise. Simply ent... Read Full Review
