User Rating: 8.5 | Crash Bandicoot (Platinum) PS
Ah, I remember the first time I played Crash Bandicoot. It was the first PSONE game I had ever played not to mention the first 3-D game I ever played. I remember having to ask my dad what a "threeD" game was and still not understanding when he explained the concept of 3-D to me. Anyway, this is the story of a lab-warped Bandicoot who was part of a chain of experiments that crazy Dr. Neo Cortex and Nitrus Brio did on animals. The name of the game is to get through each level to save Crash's chick Tawna who has been captured by Cortex. On the way you will have to fight several mutated animals, a couple mad scientists and a fat tribal dude. There are plenty of interesting levels but the levels are all pretty typical. Now I shall list the Pros and the Cons: PROS: -The levels all look very nice and all have detailed spots (something pretty new at the time of this game's release). -Crash is an easy character to control and he takes no time to get used to. -This will remind you of Mario in many ways (althought the similarities might annoy hardcore Mario fans) -The music is pretty catchy There are bonuses apleanty -Most importantly its very fun CONS: -Doesn't take any time at all to beat -The levels are very simple and sometimes repeptitive -99 fruits to an extra life? Sound familliar? -The last boss takes about 3 minutes to beat and you can skip him if you go through and incredibly easy bonus-like stage. -The save system is a little flawed OVERALL: This is a game that will most definatly please platformer fans. If you own a PS you wouldn't be hurting yourself to try to find this. This is a game that you will love and so will the young ones. If you are my age, this game will probably bring back old memories and warm feelings!
