This review is from: Crash Bandicoot – Platinum (PS) (Video Game)
Of all the electronic games I have seen, this series of games is with out doubt the best. This original game Crash Bandicoot has everything a game needs. The basic idea is that you are on some tropical islands with the main character “Crash” who has to face the challenge of many levels as he confronts many enemies. He can walk, jog, jump and spin through twenty six levels in an attempt to rescue his girlfriend “Tawna” from the evil Dr Cortex. During his adventure he collects fruit for extra lives. And smashes boxes and gets tokens for bonus rounds. The game has a few different levels such as the beach, jungle and castle. And there are some boss levels. Some games require dexterity and other games get the adrenalin rushing as Crash has to race at break neck speed. The game is pleasing on the eye as the graphics are colourful and interesting and the main character is likeable. He has a humorous side as well with his facial expressions when he is frustrated and what he gets up to when he is waiting for instruction. There is one thing that isn’t so good about this game and that is the terrible “save” system. You have to get through a lot of the game before you can save your progress and if you make a mistake you lose everything. You have to get to a bonus level before you can “save”. I found this first edition very good but a little frustrating with the save problem. But it is a great favourite and is always worth playing again and again from time to time.

Review of Crash Bandicoot, 7 Oct 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Crash Bandicoot – Platinum (PS) (Video Game)
This is an excellent Platform game, with challenging enemies, lush 3D environments, you even get to ride a wild boar! The only things that puts this Platinum gme down 1 star is the awful save system. You have to wait until you get to a bonus area by collecting 3 of the same tokens before you can save your progress, even then if you slip, you can’t go back to that area! I’d also like this game to be Analog controller compatible. In conclusion: Get this game if your a BIG fan of the Crash Bandicoot series!

Whoever thought of this game is a GENIUS! It has everything you want from a platformer. No wonder it grabbed a well deserved platinum so soon. You can do everything and anything you want. Kick enemy’s asses as you smash boxes, collect wumpa fruit (they look like apples),jump trenches,get gems ang keys,enlist help from a mask and literally become king of the jungle. So if you want fun, frolics and a whole host of challenges to overcome, then get this. NOW!
