Spyro the Dragon and Crash Bandicoot's respective histories are remarkably similar. They both started out as PlayStation exclusives and were immediate hits with audiences in the '90s. They both later changed developers and went multiplatform, and both suffered rapid declines in popularity and quality in the '00s. Now, both are back in the form of Crash Bandicoot: N. Sane Trilogy and the upcoming Spyro: Reignited Trilogy. The question is: which franchise is better?
We decided to sit down and have a lighthearted but passionate debate about which series we prefer. Fighting for Crash Bandicoot is the UK office's own clumsy mammal, Will Potter. On the side of everyone's favorite purple dragon, meanwhile, is Oscar Dayus. Bear in mind we decided to focus our debate on the original trilogies of each game--otherwise we'd both have ended up crying.
Watch the video above to see how the debate turned out. The discussion begins with randomly selected topics, and the pair argue in support of their respective picks. Alongside the serious analysis of each side, there's also some friendly fun-making and jokes at each other's expense. Be sure to watch till the end to see the quick-fire round, which gets a little goofy.
Last week we put the Tomb Raider series up against the Uncharted franchise to decide which of the two is the best of the Indiana clones, and Oscar Dayus channeled young Nate well enough to defeat Tamoor Hussain's valiant defence of Lara.
