Look out Playstation 1 users, 'cause crash is on gameboy advance now! If you don't have a gameboy advance nows the time to get one because not only does GBA have 32-bit graphics, it's also portable! So enjoy crash wherever you go by getting this game. It has great graphics, great story line, and if your a crash fan it's a must-have!

A Mario Adventure With Out Mario

I haven't play this game yet but I have read up on it and can't wait to have it! I have played the Crash games on PlayStation and loved them! Crash is like the Mario games with levels and worlds and stuff. Crash 3 and Crash 2 were great games and this one is suposed to be like them. When i saw the new Crash game for PlayStation 2 I was upset because I wanted another Crash game for PlayStation and I don't have PlayStation 2 because it is $299.99! And now they have made one for GBA (have a GBA) and I can't wait to buy it! THEY NEED TO MAKE MORE CRASH GAMES!

A MUST HAVE FOR YOUR GBA - BETTER THAN SONIC

I play a lot of GBA games - Rayman, Advance Wars, Mario I, Mario 2, Tony Hawk, Castlevania, Mario Kart...and the list goes on. I think it is one of the best platforms out there for pure enjoyment! Today I picked up a new title that makes me even more excited to own a GBA - CRASH BANDICOOT!

I was a big fan of Crash on the PlayStation and the GBA version really delivers that experience - more than I thought it would. There's the standard side-scroll stuff, but all the moves, enemies and level design is there and is tons of fun. There's also some stuff I've never seen on GBA before until now - 3D into the camera - Crash rides on a Polar Bear while being chased by a giant Snow Monster - it's awesome! The game isn't an old Crash game re-hashed for GBA like Sonic, Rayman or Mario it's a new story with new levels and some new game types, but it is all that you want a Crash Gameboy Advance game to be. So far I've played through about 30% of the game and really think it is one of the best platformers out there - graphics are much better than Mario (hands down)! Gameplay is on par with Mario (better than Sonic and Rayman) and overall appeal is better than all of them!!!

Disappointing

I just picked up this game yesterday, and I've gone through about nine of the twenty(?) levels. This is not what I expected. I loved Crash on the Playstation, but on the Playstation the games had good graphics and sound. On the GBA the graphics are blocky--I don't know why they couldn't do better; look at Rayman Advance, which is gorgeous. The sound is tinny. Apart from the flying and running-toward-the-camera levels this is strictly 2-D, mostly side-scrolling. If you're moving on a side-scrolling path, you can't move up or down on the path--just left or right. (You thought Crash on PSX was "on rails"? This one is REALLY on a rail.) Design is unimaginative, with less variety than the PSX games. I wish I hadn't bought this.

So worth the wait!!!

I just got this game yesterday, but I am already hooked! It is really easy to control and it is really fun! Just like Crash on Playstation. However, It is only easy to really see in the dark with a clipped on light. Oh well. This game is definitely a must-have for gamers!!

Excellent but with some faults

Crash Bandicoot for Game Boy Advance was a very pleasant suprise. It took ideas from all the crash games, mostly from the third. Even though there are only 20 levels, the replayability of them is large with time travel mode and get all the boxes mode. The boses are a big improvement in that they are more challenging. Yet, you will recognize the similarities between these boses and the ones from the third crash. A new bose would have been a good idea for this game, but they still are very fun to play against. The graphics are excellent in the normal sidescrolling modes but get a little blurry when you play the boses.
There are many differences between this and the other crash games, though. Crash does not take the crystals out of his pocket after a level and dance after getting a gem. Thats just a small problem. The time trial mode contains way less boxes that stop the clock. And the ones that there are you mine as well not bother getting. For example, a 2 second box will take 2 seconds to get. Lastly, the level selection was weak. There are four of those dreadful swimming boards, three snowboards, three blimp boards, three space boards, three sewer boards, and the remaining are normal ground levels. They had so many other choices than just repeating the same boards over again. The car racing boards, the pyramid boards, and plenty of others. Lastly, the story is lacking like all crashes. no big problem there
Besides a few mistakes, crash is extremly fun and one of the best game boy games ive ever played. this may not be very exciting for cash fans but for anyone else, it is a sure hit. the save mode is easy and you could load a game through a link. The music is great and really sets the mood of each level. Overall out of five: Graphics-4.5, Sound-5, Control-5, Fun Factor-4.5

Better Than A Mario Game? Nope!

This game is very amazing and its the first Crash game available on a Nintendo console. But its not as good as Mario. Buy this game only if you like plataform games and love crash bandicoot.(Its not that hard, i beat it in about 4 hours, but its still a great game)

A surprisingly fun game!

After the "Crash" debacle on the Playstation 2, I was flat out suspicious when I learned that the same company would also be developing a Crash game for the GBA. My confidence wasn't lifted much when I also heard that it wouldn't have any boards with Crash running forward the way he does in the original titles.

But, thank heavens, this time Vivendi Universal got it right.

Sure, there aren't really any "running straight forward" levels on here, but who cares? Except for that one tiny little detail, the game is just a hairsbreath away from convincing you that you are playing Crash Bandicoot 2 or 3.

For the animation, Vivendi had the good sense to digitize the actual animation frames from the original games instead of trying to redesign them, so the action flows perfectly with the precise same liquid expression and energy as the Naughty Dog titles. And for warping, they took approximately five or six frames which would work the best and laid them against each other like animation frames to create the appearing/disappearing effect. Very clever, and an excellent way to guarantee that Crash would look every bit as charming in cartridge form!

They also have the promised "ride the polar bear towards you" boards, as well as such dizzyingly fun rides as the spacepack boards (the first one with you flying through the clouds is a LOT of fun and a lot more successful than the repetitive airplane boards from 3). So I guarantee anyone out there as much of a faithful conversion as possible here!

My only complaints are minor: here's hoping that by the next game they'll be able to put "run forward" boards in... and also, I was surprised that Crash apparently never does his famous victory dance! At least not that I've seen so far. Why, I have no idea. But both as minor considering the impressive amount that's been squeezed into the tiny cartridge.

A must buy!

this game is cool
