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

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

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

The levels are very well designed, the bosses are challenging and fun, there is loads of replay ability, and the characters are quirky and memorable. The only thing I didn't like we're the water levels, but other than that, this is easily one of the best games on the PS1.

    A great adventure is letdown by its boring context.
