Where's the 3-D quality? After playing superior games like Mario 64 and Donkey Kong 64,the game is just too linear and doesn't present much in the way of graphics. Throughout the game I felt hindered by the outdated 2-D feel. You can only move Crash forward or backward. Also, why in the world is this lackluster game so difficult yet incredibly boring? The only virtue of Crash is that once you acquire the code that opens up all the levels; the game can be manipulated to a small degree of satisfaction. If you want a true platform experience, stick with N64, otherwise this title is virtually worthless.

Crash Is the best!

This was the first video game I ever bought for my PSX and by far the more lasting fun.This game gives us the same fun we used to get back in the good old days with "Mario Bros.",only way better.It takes us to different and colorful worlds that will keep us playing for hours and hours.The sound as well as the graphics are all pretty well made.It gets harder each time as your exitement gets higher.This game is a perfect example of what PSX is all about.This game brought something different to the genre we know as "Adventure".You'll get famirilized with each level because you'll have to develop your techniques and skills if you want to survive.If you want to experience pure fun just buy Crash and all its sequels(I recommend 2,3 and Team Racing)and have fun playing as you never did!

The one that started it all! It's easy to tell.

Seeing as how this is the first Crash game, it pains me to have to give this game a 3. The only thing that makes this game not quite as good as the others is it's lack of a very big story(and not to mention a horrible ending). Otherwise, this game isn't so bad. I give this game a 3 and a half. The graphics, gameplay, and music are fairly good. This game got me into the whole Crash Bandicoot Trilogy; and the games just get better along the way!

GREAT FOR KIDS!!!

This is definitely one of the best games you can find. Crash, a bandicoot as his name applies, is out to rescue his girlfriend Tawna from his arch nemesis, the evil Dr. Cortex. There are about 30 levels in the whole game to go through, in which range from extremely easy to almost impossible. The game is probably the hardest of all the Crash games, so anybody who wants a challenge is in for a treat. The graphics range. In some, the graphics will have you staring, and in some, you just plain will not be impressed, but I'm not saying anything about that. This game has a high amount of replay value as well, and for some levels you will need strategy. The only reason I gave this 4 stars is because of the horrible save system. You can only save if you get to Tawna bonus rounds, (common) and complete them, (not too difficult), or collect a Gem, (medium difficulty to almost impossible.) If you can overlook the save system, then you've got yourself a great game.

Almost perfect!

I love Crash Bandicoot! I favor him over Sonic the Hedgehog, and even Mario! I think the Sonic games are fun, but they're also a little to mysterious and fast. Mario's fun, but his games are too confusing and slightly boring, not to mention frustrating. Crash Bandicoot's games are perfect. There's only one or 2 problems with them. I'll be writting a review on all the games to day, so I'll be listing the problems with these games. For this one, the saving sucks and getting a gem is rediculous. Now don't get me wrong, I love Crash Bandicoot games, but the saving needs improvement. It's better then not being able to save at all, though, or forcing you to use passwords like SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom on GBA. That was me who wrote that review on Battle for Bikini Bottom on GBA with all those "ever"s. You also shouldn't have to get through a levle without dying ot get a gem. If you bust all the crates and you die on your way to the end, you should get the gem. But, other then that, these games are my favorite.

The BEST CRASH BANDICOOT GAME!

That's right. In my opinion, this is my favorite Crash game for several reasons. First, we have the graphics, which are actually smoother then in Crash 2. The bosses are funny (LOL Papu Papu), and there are lots of levels and enough diversity for my taste. But, the only draw-back is that 4 of the levels are WAAY to hard. (Slippery Climb, Sunset Vista, Toxic Waste, Fumbling in the Dark) But, the levels being harder are for the better. I think this makes the game have more lasting appeal, and makes it far more addictive. Plus, the look Crash gives you on the Hog racing levels is Classic.

PLOT: Crash Bandicoot is a mutated reject and a expirement gone wrong. N.Brio warns Cortex for throwing him out, but he does not budge. So Crash is seperated from his girl friend, Tawna. Meanwhile, a benevolent witch doctor named Aku Aku has scattered his spirit masks and treasures across the island, for Crash to follow and eventually lead his way up to Cortex's Laboratory.

There are tons of tons of levels, from hopping across creeks, to running from rolling boulders, jumping to and fro from 5 ton stones, to scampering up a gate, to running through haunted temples and much much more.

Overall, This is a fun, addictive, pretty, cheap, and difficult underrated gem in the vault of PS1 games.

P.S. In the password screen, type T, T, T, T, X, S, T, T, T, T, S, X, T, S, T, T, T, C, S, T, X, X, X, X. Next, go to Castle Machinery and board the green gem.

Make like a bandit for this Bandicoot

Naughty Dog and Sony released Crash Bandicoot, which rivaled the likes of Mario and Sonic. In the end, many gamers liked Crash's non-stop action, but others simply just skipped it. Even though it was very promising, Crash's gameplay did not really offer anything new, which featured elements you can find in a 16-bit platformer.

You play as Crash, whose girlfriend is kidnapped by Dr. Neo Cortex. You basically just run through the levels from start to finish and fight bosses after each world. Even though the action is intense throughout, the gameplay becomes really tedious. Crash Bandicoot did nothing new for adventure games and it isn't really 3D since you're restricted to one path. All you do is make your way through levels, dodging obstacles, avoiding enemies, and collect items and nothing more. The difficulty level is not exactly high either, and the challenge is severely lacking.

Crash's graphics are quite impressive for a PlayStation game, including well-textured environments and colorful characters. Effects like running water and mist and fog are great eye-candy. The visuals are the game's only saving grace. Controlling the bandicoot can be a hassle since it doesn't use analog. You're forced to deal with sensitivity of the crosspad and at times will result in unwanted deaths.

Aside from good graphics, you're left with nothing but an average platformer equivalent to that of a 16-bit Sonic game in a polygonal world. While it may be 3D, Crash plays out too much like an old side-scrolling game of the past. I don't know why would anyone want to play this game because Crash Bandicoot pales in comparison to other breakthrough adventure games at the time, like Sega's NiGHTS and Nintendo's Mario 64.
