    The comedy here is great, but the actual gameplay is a bit blah.

    This has game mechanics of a ps1 game of seven years ago in three dimensions with cheap deaths and bad cameras. cleverness abounds, but so does frustration.

    Why are stupid games like this made on XBOX in the first place? Old PS1 games with Nintendo style kiddy gameplay should not be put on the system that was made with adults in mind. Same boring gameplay from years upon years ago with PS2 graphics, which isn't very good incase an explanation was needed there. These kind of games need to be left on Nintendo's baby box. Period.

    This game is probably one of the best Crash Bandicoot games created since "Crash Bash". It was fun playing as Cortex, and Nina was a cool character. The cutscenes were well done, and the bosses were creative, but the gameplay's graphics were rough around the edges.

    This was probably one of the best Crash Bandicoot games made since the PS1. It was very fun playing as Cortex, Nina was a cool character, the villians were unique and fun, and the levels were fun but challenging. But the graphics were rough around the edges.

  1. That bane of the 3D platformer, a bad camera, constantly hides fallen-away floors until you're standing where you thought there was solid ground. [Nov 2004, p.90]
  2. The gameplay is totally original, totally challenging, and totally fun. A definite addition for anyone who enjoys platform games.
  3. I really like how the different characters are voiced, and the individual casting is spot on.
