When I got this for my early birthday,I didn't expect that the character would be so cute!Crash is adorable,which will get you hooked on for about an hour,the fun for another,and the hard for minus a second.Even though it is difficult,you'll enjoy looking in those eyes,and playing.

A Game with some Mistakes

This game has very good graphics and music, but it has some mistakes. Naughty Dog really goofed up on this game, like when you can only save on the Tawna Bonus Rounds-(how many times does that come up?!) You cant move very fast, and you aren't able to jump that far either. Finishing the hard levels can take a while, like Toxic Waste with bouncing barrels that you can't beat. It can be frusterating. It's fun, but it doesn't have as many powers as Crash Bandicoot 2 or Warped. They don't give you a lot of Wumpa Fruits in the hardest levels when you need them most to earn a life. You really have to work at this game, you just don't finish it in 2 days-(Unless you know secrets about the game or you put in the secret password.) All in all this is a cool game.

Review Number 3 to Crash Bandicoot Number 1

Not exactly the greatest game in all history, but not all entirely that bad either. Naughty Dog kind of goofed up on the game like, you can only save your game at certain points (Tawna bonus rounds- if completed successfully! How many times does that come up?!). Some more disadvantages, well, let's see...

1.Bosses (bad guys) are way, way too easy if you're looking for a challenge.
2.Levels starting from Island 2 are extremely challenging.
3.Crash (your playing character) is too slow at the parts where ya gotta get stuff done!
4.Keys and colored gems are again, extremely hard to get.
5.Not too many power moves just plain old jump and spin.

There are probably more if I actually got a chance to sit down at the computer and think about for a while, but here's the good stuff you really want to see:

1.Realistic graphics.
2.Cool scenarios.
3.4 different islands.
4.Cute clips.
5.Now going for cheaper than what it was when it first came out.

I highly recommend this game to video game experts (like myself).

Very Very Good

Crash Bandicoot is an great platformer game but not the best one. It sports great graphics, but if you press the O button you will do a Spin attack in stead of crouching. No bodyslam move, no sliding, no crawling but this game is very long and hard. Crash2 is better but this game is great too.

Wasn't the very first Crash Bandicoot game supposed to become one of the all-time greatest Playstation games? That's what Sony thought would happen back in the day. After all, they promoted the game to death. Well look at that... didn't happen! And with good reason. The game is horrible. I can't believe ANYONE would prefer this junk over Sonic the Hedgehog or, especially, the Mario Bros. series.

You have to give Sony a LOT of credit for all the attention they put into Crash Bandicoot in an attempt to put the game on the same extraordinary level as Mario and Sonic, but gamers never really caught on to Crash the same way. When you think about it, the Playstation already HAD a huge selection of games to choose from around the time Crash was released, therefore Sony didn't even NEED a mascot. People were buying Playstation games like crazy anyway! Crash Bandicoot never even had to exist.

You'd think for a debut game (a BIG debut, considering all the advertisements on TV commercials) Sony would have made the game a *little* easier for younger or inexperienced gamers to play. Instead, Sony started off the Crash series with impossible bonus levels (impossible to complete AND find- I didn't even KNOW the game had bonus levels until I looked it up in the instruction booklet!)

Even if you ignore the bonus levels, the challenge overall is pretty high anyway thanks to all the difficult stages (such as the one where you're crossing a bridge way up in the sky and continue falling through the wooden cracks- a NIGHTMARE of a level!) All the lives you earned up to this point in the game will go away. A mascot debut game shouldn't have the difficulty THIS high because the idea is for players of ALL ages to enjoy the game. Children will not like the nonstop frustration.

I think the biggest reason Crash Bandicoot isn't remembered today the same way Mario and Sonic's debut games are is because Crash is basically just a blend of Mario and Sonic, but featured in a 3D world. Think about it. Crash collects berries throughout the game (Mario collects coins, Sonic collects rings). Crash has a spin attack (Mario and Sonic already had spin attacks YEARS before Crash's existence). Sony just didn't have enough creative ideas to come up with something entirely different, and that's why most gamers tend to ignore Crash Bandicoot. When you already have the best (Mario and Sonic) you don't need imitations.

Crash Bandicoot may have improved later on (not enough of an improvement to earn its mascot reputation, however) but the series certainly did NOT start with a bang. I will always remember the very first Crash Bandicoot game as being this uninteresting, frustrating experience. Heck, just the fact that only 62 reviewers have submitted reviews for the game right here on amazon goes to show Crash Bandicoot's first adventure was meant to be gone and forgotten. Add to the fact that right now in the year 2006 NO ONE is talking about ANY Crash Bandicoot game anymore. This means you can ignore Crash Bandicoot entirely, and not really miss out on anything.

One of the best action/adventures ever

Before I played this game, I didn't think that it would be as good as everyone was saying that it was. While I was playing it, I found out that it is a great game and I saw what all the fuss was about. It's an all-around great game. It's fun, most of the levels aren't too hard or too easy, it has great graphics, and it has good control. It also has good replay value because after you beat it, it's still fun to beat from time to time.

If you have a Playstation, I would recommend getting "Crash Bandicoot." It really is one of the best action/adventure games ever made.

Crash is the best game ever

for me I started playing crash when I got my first classic playstation back in 1996 this game is never too old for me the others were alot fun too I just wish that the first and second one vibrates. these levels were pretty cool the jungle temple and neo cortexes lab had pretty good graphics. The breaking every single box challenge was very hard but the prize for doing all that was absolutely nothing and a waste of time on this game that's the only thing I have a big problem with no prize after you beak every single box in every level for nothing just shows crash flying on a giant bird at night during the end credits.

I purchased Krappy Krash a long time ago and it broke. Bought it again. Really disapointed. Take it back.
