THE GOOD:
The levels have a challenging side
Many varieties of level themes
Well-made music
Stunning graphics for it's time

THE BAD:
Controls might be a bit awkward at difficult parts
The save system is very awkward

SUMMARY:
This game has (and still is) been a personal favorite. Even back in 1996, I had this game. I loved this game alot.

Storyline 8/10

The storyline is very similar to a damsel in distress theme. Crash is a helpless experiment to the evil Dr. Neo Cortex. After failing the mutation attempt for making our hero a commander, he escapes the castle. Unfortunately, another experiment he grew to love is still there, being prepared to replace the project!

Very simple storyline, yet not too cheap.

Gameplay 9/10

The gameplay is standard in a platform game, but it maintains the challenge that hardcore gamers enjoy. As the game progresses, the challenge of completing...

THE GOOD:
-Lots of levels
-Great graphics for a PS1 title
-Cool music
-Creative bosses

THE BAD:
-VERY difficult
-Recycled levels
-Bad controls and camera
-Stupid saving system
-Limited, lame cheats (all you can do is jump to a certain percentage)
-Really not that fun
-Collecting keys and gems is pointless

SUMMARY:
How did a tough game like this start create such a famous character? Most people aren't skilled enough to easily complete such a poorly set up game. Perhaps it was the innovation? Who knows? All that matters is that this geometry test of a game was the start of an awesome game series.

Graphics: 7.7 -- For the first game in the series, the graphics are quite nice. True, they're only simply PS1 models, but that's not the point. The character models, though short in variety, are done with simple yet cool designs and colors. The animation,...

Crash Bandicoot is about a slighty mutated bandicoot who was a test experiment far up in Neo Cortex's (mad scientist) castle. Cortex wanted Crash to become evil and join him in his quest for world domination. However, Cortex's latest machine failed on Crash, and luckily for Crash, he made a great escape out one of the castle's windows. He washes up on an island far far away and decides it's time for revenge.Looks like Crash needs to traverse 3 islands to get up to Cortex though!


In many of the levels, you'll run down a single linear pathway smashing up crates, jumping over chasm after chasm, and fighting a unique cast of strange enemies. Most of these enemies you can simply spin into (that's Crash's way of attacking), or bop on the head. (like millions of classic platform games) Each level is filled with tricky jumps and easily fallen into chasms. Some of these platforming leaps are very tough to make, (especially in side scrolling levels) and you'll most likely...

THE GOOD:
Fun
Funny
A good challenge
Almost everything else

THE BAD:
The Save System
If you die once, you don't get a gem

SUMMARY:
Here is my review for Crash Bandicoot. Enjoy it because it's LONG!
Crash Bandicoot is about two evil scientists (Dr. Neo Cortex and Dr. Nitrus Brio) creating two machines: The Evolo-Ray, which will bring animals to life, and the Cortex Vortex, which will make them evil. But, (as usaul) things didn't turn out the way they expected. 3 of their evil creations (Ripper Roo, Koala Kong, and Pinstripe) were evil, but, 2 of their creations (Crash Bandicoot and Tawna Banicoot) were failures. They kicked Crash out and held Tawna captive. Now, Crash must travel through 3 islands to save Tawna. But, there will also be some (crazy) bosses he will fight such as Papu Papu, Dr. N. Brio, and even Dr. Cortex, himself. Can he do it?
Here are my comments on Crash Bandicoot:

The storyline is...

Written by Galacticdramon
THE GOOD:
The graphics are quite good for its time.
The Bosses are inventive and sometimes fun to fight.
The storyline is OK.
The password save system. Why did they allow it to die?

THE BAD:
Too difficult and frustrating.
Too linear.

SUMMARY:
Naughty Dog want to make money with a game. They have already had a rather un-successful SEGA RPG, Ring of Power, and now they are turning their attention to Sony's new Nintendo-created console. Yes, this is how I would have written this paragraph BEFORE this game's release.
Yes, Crash II: Cortex Strikes Back is a classic, Crash III is an inventive and very popular game, and Crash Team Racing is the angel of PlayStation Kart Racers (unlike its sequel, Crash Nitro Kart, which is nowhere near as good). However, this game is nothing on this sacred trio.
How did this game evolve into such a phenomenon? I have no idea. All that I DO know is that it shouldn't have done. Had this game been...

THE BAD:
whatbad?

SUMMARY:
This game is basically one of the best crashgames ever! Seriously it is no downer! This game is absoloutly brilliant. totally amazing!...

Written by 50 cent fan
THE GOOD:
the storyline, some levels, the hog level

THE BAD:
everything else, graphics especially

SUMMARY:
may i say anymore? This game does not keep u gripped, the graphics r terrible, the sound's terrible, and the gameplay's rubbish cos it's not interesting and doesn't make u want to find out more. i thought the storyline was great but i only got to 7% before i got bored. the bad things are that you can only save through bonus levels if you make it to the end and the password screen. I cheated to find out what happened and it wasn't worth it.The voice acting was okay but not that brilliant. the music was terrible. i preferred playing it when it was off. Basically, this was the worst crash in the series and it was great the improvement for the other games. i don't recommend it but if you want to try it, i suggest you rent it or buy for £10.

THE GOOD:
The game has good graphics

THE BAD:
There is a password screen in this game

SUMMARY:
If there was no password screen I would give this game a higher score because I do not want anyone to cheat in this game.
