GamePro

A very strong contender for PlayStation game of the year. Its "rowdy rowdy" gameplay will keep your head spinning for days.

Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

As some would argue, the best 2.5D platformer ever released. [Nov 2001, p.40]

Absolute Playstation

A wonderfully presented game that truly goes beyond anything you are likely to find in this genre for any system. The sheer brilliance in the level designs and gameplay are sure to keep you coming back for more.

PSX Nation

Easily the best Crash game yet and possibly the greatest platforming title on the PSX yet. Although not as long as the previous games it provides the most bang for the buck!

IGN

A drop-dead gorgeous game. The textures are impeccable, the animation's top-notch, and the special effects kick some serious booty.

Gamezilla!

I was very impressed with the programmers' willingness to try something new and different. It's something that is tough to do when you have a franchise that is as popular as Crash.

GameSpot

Easily the best Crash yet. Every aspect of the game is better: new moves, levels, bosses, graphics, sound, and gameplay. It's the most fun I've had with a 3D platform game in a long, long time.

Gaming Age

It’s too short. Sure, there are twenty-five levels plus hidden areas and bosses, but they're limited to variations on about five different time periods, and they’re very short.

Game Revolution

A barrage of good things. The graphics, sound, music, levels, and difficulty all come together perfectly. Naughty Dog has made Crash a much better game, something that is commendable when so many sequels come up short.

Games Domain

The bottom line is that great presentation and compelling gameplay will win this game many friends, although more 'serious' gamers may feel that games should be more original.

All Game Guide

So impressive to watch that you'll have to keep one hand firmly below your chin to keep it from falling to the floor.

Electric Playground

I enjoyed Crash's new abilities (extended jumps, spins and that extremely useful bazooka). I just wish the platform jumping elements in Crash 3 were as original and exciting of the motorcycle, jet-ski and biplane sequences.

Whoever dectracted points for a bad story is an idiot, because we all know Crash Bandicoot games aren't about the story. A great game and I still play it today on my PS1. Took a mark off for a few minor quips, like minimal control issues when swimming and bit of an unfair difficulty spike in the fifth warp room. Otherwise a great game.

Bryan M. gave it a5:
It is way to easy to beat. and nothing that cool or new to it. I like crash 2 the most.

Jared C. gave it a0:
A great adventure is letdown by its boring context.

Henrik S. gave it a10:
Perfect game for PSOne. Addictive and still worth playing from time to time. One of only two games to "survive" the transition to PS2.

Steven J. gave it a10:
So many years later, and it's STILL a great game, equal with the first two. After the first 4, it was so badly downhill its not even funny.

David G. gave it a10:
A classic. Best psone game ever. Too bad Crash's latest games haven't lived up to it.

Kitty Crookshanks gave it a 10:
Absolutely brilliant. The best platform of all time and I MEAN it.
