That's right. The bandicoot has returned in what seems to be the best and finest Crash game ever, with excellent graphics and a bunch of new vehicles to ride on, including a super cool sphere sort of thing. Some say that Crash Bandicoot is dead without Naughty Dog, but I say to them: never underestimate the power of playstation 2, because CRASH IS BACK!! AND WITHOUT NAUGHTY DOG!!
CRASH ROCKS

Crash is back,and he is here without Naughty Dog. I had played all the crash games including Crash Bash. I had never thought that Naughty dog would leave crash alone,but they did.

Nice game in the crash bandicoot series, but way to many loading screens, which helps to hinder the game. Still all in all a good game if you like the series. There are enough fresh ideas to keep the game interesting! Also the difficulty has been increased, but not to the point where you'll want to give up. The graphics are really beautiful! Good job traverler's tales, this company also made sonic 3d blast, also another good game!!
As fun as any Crash game, but..

..I can't help but wonder if the developers remembered that they were designing a game for the PS2 and not the PS1. For better or for worse, this Crash, for the most part, looks just like every other Crash. But as for the game..
It's really cool - the graphics are outstanding (but, for the most part, they always HAVE been, even on the old PS1) and for Coco fans, it's nice to be able to do more than walk in a straight line and jump with her character.
There are a number of worlds - for most, getting the purple crystal is easy.. I finished about 15 of them in the first 6 hours I played. The "bonus" areas (where you go for boxes and extra lives) have gotten way harder.. which is nice. Takes a bit of strategy and timing, whereas with the older games it was just an easy way to get extra lives. Depends on how you look at it, I guess, but I see this as an improvement.
Haven't started doing any of the time trials, but I can only imagine they're going to be tougher than previous Crash games.
As for variations between Naughty Dog and the new developer? If there hadn't been such a big deal about the changing of companies, I never would have known any different. This Crash looks exactly like the older ones, but with better graphics (save for the intro movie scene..)
If you love Crash, get it!
This game is great.......but.......

I love the crash games! This one is very typical of the gameplay. The only thing that I don't like is the time it takes to load! You can go make yourself a snack, in the time it takes to download. Also the old Cortex thing is getting old! If you liked the gameplay of the others, not alot has changed. But, get yourself a good book between levels.
