Review: Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy shows why we shouldn't remaster classics | GQ

N. Sane trilogy is a stark reminder of just how long ago 1996 really was.

[WilliamSheridan]

Yeah I honestly didn't know peoole actually cared about this game. I had bought the original on PlayStation, but i never really considered it as a classic must have...

[AspiringProGenji]

Key word: You

As for me and most PS gamers who grew up playing this, it is a classic. Back in the days Crash was great, and these remasters show why: sick OSTs, challenge, character designs, and animations (those funny death animations in particular) still hold up today

[WilliamSheridan]

Yup... I literally said "I" didn't know. I spoke for myself and have my opinion. People disagreed with my opinion. Interesting.

Anyway glad it sold well, I miss good platformers, although this was never my cup of tea

[Exari]

many ppl played the first crash and started complaining that its hard, well it is hard because the original was

i personally think that its a great remaster, it may have problems here and there, but none are bad enough to affect the overall experience, and at the end of the day it feels just like the old games.

[subtenko]

@WilliamSheridan "People disagreed with my opinion. Interesting. "

You knew it was gonna happen just like whoever wrote this blog post knew.....

[RedDeadLB]

Disagreeing with opinions is valid. It's what makes them opinions, not facts.

[Neonridr]

And that is your opinion Aspiring. Both of you are entitled to differing ones. Doesn't make either of you right or wrong.

[AspiringProGenji]

Let's be real @Neonril...

It is his opinion and I don't have a problem with it, but to be surprised that people cared about Crash is either ignorance or just... I dont know stupid? Or has he been under a rock these past 2 decades?

Crash was a success back them and most PS gamers grew up with it. It is classic indeed! People care for Crash. Why shouldn't anyone care for Crash and what is so surprising about that? It is like me saying "Lol people care about Pokemon?"

I wasn't trying to be rude, but these people should stop thinking they are the center of the universe.

[WilliamSheridan]

@aspiring Crash wasn't requested until Uncharted made its way and became popular. It's more of an homage to Naughty Dog. Crash was a mediocre platformer back then and it is still one today. But because Uncharted is so fucking awesome, and it truly is, people remember Crash more fondly. It's what happens when publishers become big, their early releases become "classic" and their early works are remembered more fondly. If Crash was truly a great game, the "franchise" would have continued forward as the mascot of PlayStation. Strangely, it did not. So the sales must have spoken for themself.

So I'm not ignorant nor under a rock. I'm willing to bet I've been a gamer far longer than yourself. My first game was Ladder on a KayPro, follows by Zaxxon on ColecoVision.

What was yours?

[KillZallthebeast]

lol this and spyro were basically the face of ps1 for most people. They just dropped off most peoples radars when insomniac and naughty dog stopped making them and activision took over and drove them both into the ground.

[DanteVFenris666]

Yes I stilled played crash but I have more nostalgia for spyro. I think I played 1 activision game before I stopped

[BigTrain]

Spyro was definitely the better series for me.

[Orpheo]

Agree, though I was more fond of Spyro as well. I think I first learned of Spyro from a PlayStation Underground* demo disc. I was so impressed I rented the game from Blockbuster (anyone remember renting games? ;)). Before I had to return the game I got all the way to the final boss and came very close to beating him but just couldn't pull it off. Now of the Spyro games I'd like a re-make, that would be a must-buy for me. :)

*Anyone remember the real PlayStation Underground demo discs with trailers, demos, game save downloads, behind-the-scenes featurettes, and other unlockable goodies? With such a selection of gaming greatness there was always something for everyone; it awesome and I wish PlayStation didn't tarnish those memories with their new YouTube playlist. Also, Maggie was my favorite unofficial PlayStation mascot and I really wanted to see her in PlayStation All-Stars more than any other character. Maybe one day we'll get a re-imagining**.

On another side-note, I really wanted PS All-Stars to be a fighting game closer to Tekken or Street Fighter, not a party game like Super Smash Bros.

[Sam Fisher]

Cmon on bring back spyro

[Killa Aaron]

I agree, PlayStation needs more lighthearted fun games like Spyro and Crash because Knack wasn’t a smashing success but it was alright.

[NotoriousWhiz]

You can disagree with an opinion. That's why it's called an opinion.

[MegamanXXX]

93 people disagree with you 😁😂

[WilliamSheridan]

Fanboys defending an.exclusive... 😊

[Fonso128]

I love down voting ignorant comments.

[WilliamSheridan]

Me too!

[BigTrain]

Same here. Definitely a Playstation 1 generation thing in terms of little growing up with it and thinking it was impressive. Hated this series up until part 3 came out and Crash Team Racing was great as well. I hated PS1 1st gen games. Crash, Jumping Flash, Jet Moto, bleeggghhhh. 1st gen grainy low-polygon count 3D tripe as far as I was concerned, especially considering there was no analog control. The 1st 3D game to truly impress me in every category was Mario 64, everything was right.

[yeahokwhatever]

How dare you. Jet Moto is the best thing. Team Mountain Dew FTW.

[XStation4pio_Pro]

If it has a PlayStation logo then it's the best and automatically a classic and also goty and you're an a$$hole if you don't agree. Welcome to n4g. If you wipe the dust off the site mast you'll actually see it says playstation4g. Don't expect objective/subjective debate here. Just contorted justifications, dynamically adjusted logic and moved goalposts. :)

[WilliamSheridan]

I learned that when I got banned twice because I defended Xbox

[yeahokwhatever]

Turd.

[JLynn943]

I knew people cared, but I personally didn't/don't care. I had Cortex Strikes Back and played it for a while, but I was more into Mario 64 and then Banjo Kazooie. It couldn't compete with them for me.

[Nesflix]

Insane you're being down-voted for having an opinion. This is N4G's comment section though. I think it's a classic but it held up better in my mind as a classic than when I played the remaster. I popped it in and played the first zone of Warped, beat Tiny and haven't gone back to it since.

[AspiringProGenji]

"Yeah I honestly didn't know peoole actually cared about this game."

You are telling me a series as old as Crash Bandicoot is not gonna have fans that grew playing it? I don't mind he didn't like Crash back them, but using his distaste for it to question everyone else is wrong. Either he is joking or so out of touch with this world to not know that preople did and indeed do care about Crash

Not to mention, ever since Sony started teasing crash at the beggining of this gen, people have been asking and talking about him. So you tell me, how are people not going to care for Crash?

[yeahokwhatever]

Its not down voting, its called a "disagree". Here, check this out, it may help: http://www.dictionary.com/b...

[Nesflix]

@AspiringProGenji Again...his opinion. Relax.

[AspiringProGenji]

So? Does having an opinion is a bulletproof vest now? If you are afraid of people disagreeing with you, then don't you ever start an argument

[Nesflix]

@AspiringProGenji Who's afraid? I disagree constantly with people. It's my favorite pastime.

[gangsta_red]

I agree, I was never a Crash fan and I found the original games boring. Especially compared to how many other classic games were out during the PS1 era.

But more power to Activision for bringing this back. I have always said that games that have a decade or more age on them should get the remaster treatment.

[Orpheo]

I bought the original 1996 digital release a while back on PS3 and never finished it because it was too hard; it took me a half a day just to beat the first boss.

I remember seeing the Crash commercials when I was young and loving the bandicoot's attitude and his short stint as a quasi - PlayStation mascot, for that reason alone I wanted to see the return of Crash. I also really like the game's colorful graphics and sound design. Crash 2 looked okay and Crash 3 looked amazing, but I refuse to play 3 without beating the older games first and that's not going to happen. Not saying the Crash games aren't worth it, but to someone like me who prefers other genres and generally easier games like "Ninja Gaiden (PS3)," I pass.

[trooper_]

It's a beloved franchise. Not sure where you're getting your information from.

[SonyWarrior]

you must have been under a rock if you are telling the truth because back then crash was super big and was the face of playstation

[mogwaii]

Its just nostalgia, these millenials who played it way after it was released and see it through rose coloured glasses, the games arent great.

[thehitman1398]

Man u must have a man crush on crash because u keep going to every article about him and bashing it. Getting kinda weird bro... Getting weird

[AspiringProGenji]

"Crash wasn't requested until Uncharted made its way and became popular."

Wrong! People began to ask for Crash when Sony teased it with the Greatness Awaits PS4 commercials and all the rumors that Sony got the IP back.

"Crash was a mediocre platformer back then and it is still one today."

Like I said... Keyword: You
We care for Crash and it wasn't mediocre back them. It was part of our childhood. If you don't like it, again, that is you!

"If Crash was truly a great game, the "franchise" would have continued forward as the mascot of PlayStation. Strangely, it did not. So the sales must have spoken for themself."

Crash did continued but not as a PS mascot because Sony had no ownership after Activision bought Universal Studios and Activision let the IP to die until recently. That still change nothing of how great Crash was back in the days

You claim to be an old gamer and yet you don't know anything about Crash Bandicoot. Well too bad because we love Crash and we care for him. This remaster and its reception proves it! Deal with it!

[admiralvic]

Ignoring obvious errors, such as saying the game released 30 years ago, I think the author put it best here.

"It’s a game that was flawed when it came out in 1996, let alone after three decades when the scene has moved on exponentially in terms of craft and ambition."

This isn't an issue with remasters/remakes/whatever, but really Crash in general. No offense to people who love the game, I do too, but Crash was not a game designed in a "timeless" style like Super Mario Bros. 3. However, I don't think that is too much of a problem either.

Sometimes it's good to revisit the past and even if the games aren't perfect by today's standards, they're still fun. Sure, some parts are frustrating, but for many games from the past, that is what made them so memorable. No one remembers beating the second area in Sonic the Hedgehog, but I'm sure anyone who has played the bike section in Battletoads remembers that.

[-Foxtrot]

I do

Marble Zone, great level, awesome soundtrack.

[I_am_Batman]

Yeah when he said no one remembers beating the second area in Sonic I thought to myself: "Oh you mean the Lava stage with the burning platforms, mechanical spiky chandeliers and the awesome music that gets stuck in your head? Yeah I totally don't remember anything about that. /s"

[The 10th Rider]

Good level design will never become outdated.

[DJStotty]

Love myself a bit of sonic, still play the games to this day

[AspiringProGenji]

But Crash Bandicoot was not the only flawed game. If you remaster plenty of those other classics, they would have this same issue. Mario 64 was flawed too, Halo CE was very flaw too, Sonic Heroes, and on and on... And who cares? We loved these games anyways back when we weren't self centered game critics, so why compare Crash with the games and mechanics of today?

And I think the gameplay is still good compared to the aim assist, handholding gameplay of today... The gameplay in crash is stiff and skillful, such as when you have to time your jumps to get on a platform. It is not just "press X" and not risks. Mario 64 was like this before too.

I have a 16 year old brother who I game share my library of games, and I told him to play Crash. He stopped playing it because "it was too slow," he said, and he would fall all the time for not timing his jumps... It is no wonder why many games of today are so easy. There's no willingness to get better and surpass any challenge. I think if arcades were still relevant, they would die because of this

[LP-Eleven]

Exactly.

[AmUnRa]

I agree with you for 100%.

[nix]

you should let him play Crash 2. i found it little smoother/lighter and easier to control compared to 1. let him ride the bear in 2. hahaha.

[Newmanator]

I 100% Crash 2 this weekend. I haven't felt that level of pride and achievement since Guitar Hero 1

[DanteVFenris666]

Flawed in the sense that every game is flawed. Crash and Mario 64 are still better than 90% of modern releases

[UCForce]

I have to agree with you.

[andrewsquall]

What's your point? Imagine if the original Tomb Raiders or Syphon Filters got THIS type of remake/remaster treatment. As in, the animations are untouched. Can you see how terrible the human characters would move around?

Naughty Dog knew what they were doing back in the day going with a more cartoony style before moving onto more realistic humanoids in the Jak series and finally human characters by the time Uncharted's generation started. Like others have said, Crash still hold up today with just a little lick of paint.

Do you honestly think something like Max Payne from 2001 (out the same month as Jak and Daxter by ND) would hold up today with a visual lick of paint and those horrible movement and strafing animations? It didn't hold up a year after launch lol. "It’s a game that was flawed when it came out in 2001, let alone after five decades (why not lol?) when the scene has moved on exponentially in terms of craft and ambition."
The same quote does not apply to the critically acclaimed Crash Bandicoot PS1 series lol.

[Nosferatu_dude]

erm... you know that they reworked the animations too in Crash? Besides the Graphics:)

[AnubisG]

Andrew,

We talked about this already guy. Resident Evil 1 was already remade and fans loved it so much that they are remaking RE2 and these games have human characters. Tomb Raider could be remade as well. Just because you lack an imagination or have a hatred for classic games it does not mean you are right. We don't care to see your wrong opinion in every single CB article guy. Just keep your hatred to yourself. You are not going to convince anyone.

[DefenderOfDoom2]

I remember playing SYPHON FILTER and dealing with the horrible camera angles . I stopped playing 3rd person games until Resident Evil 4 came out.

[Fonso128]

Super Mario bros 3 aged horribly. The difficulty spiked up and down like crazy. SMB3 also had forgettable music. Crash Bandicoot difficulty spiked up and down just not as bad as Mario 3.

[yeahokwhatever]

People who grew up on Mario don't remember Sonic or Crash moments, which is perfectly understandable. I think the smashing success of this remaster(Crash) is a testament to just how many people had a PS1.

[ChronoJoe]

I think what you're saying is true for the first game, but Crash 2 and 3 hold up today just fine. I think a lot of what Crash was doing has gotten better in games today, things like the underwater segments in Crash 3 come to mind, as being done better elsewhere, but the same is true of a lot of games. Even titles like Banjo Kazooie (which were both happily rereleased by Rare on the 360) have segments of the game that don't control as well as they could. Heck, even Super Mario 64 has a pretty bad camera.

Crash has its own set of issues, but it can still be a tremendous amount of fun. There's a very good platformer in there if you can stomach the difficulty.

[isarai]

Well a lot of people are having a lot of fun playing it, and thats kinda the point in games. So why shouldnt it be remastered/remade?

[AspiringProGenji]

I know right? This guy is just one of those gamers of today who want to shit on everyone's childhood by comparing the old game mechanics with those of today. How is that fair? By that logic, approximately 90% of the old games are shit as well

[onisama]

90% of games are shit today too just to point it out...

[AnubisG]

Because there is always an idiot "progressive journalist" who can't stand the fact that older games are good and people love playing them. However these same "journalists" praise 8bit indie games like it's the second coming. They are idiots to say the least.

[sampson3121]

shovel knight anyone? lol

[yeahokwhatever]

it was sold out at the 3 gamesstops near me. I had to go a bit more into the sticks to get this game in physical form. I think its being very well-received by fans of the series. Its been a while since I've had to actually look for a game. Weird.

[rainslacker]

Because some people think they're being cool and edgy by thinking they're all about the good stuff that is in the future, and holding onto the past is a bad thing. Others, or some of those same people, act like there are an over-abundance of remakes or remasters which are somehow keeping newer games from getting made.

IMO, I'm fine with them. We can play them if we want them, or ignore them if we don't. If people enjoy them, then great, if they don't, or it's a bad remake/remaster, then the reviews will reflect it, and people can make their own choice.

Overall, the whole argument they shouldn't exist is just stupid. There have been remakes and remasters ever since the early days of consoles. NES and other consoles in that gen had them as well. Somehow, it became a console war talking point to act like one console has too many, or nothing but, which is also just stupid. To me, people who act like certain games shouldn't get made because they don't get the point, or they wouldn't enjoy them would be akin to someone saying Halo or Gran Turismo shouldn't get made because they don't care for them.

[Simon_the_sorcerer]

Say what? The collection is really good imo.

[PhoenixUp]

They're not remasters they're remakes

[GrimReaperGamer]

You do realize how well this collection is selling now right? Adding this website and poster to my blocked/moron list.

[KwietStorm_BLM]

Basic math could have told you how long ago 1996 was.

[goken]

'the N. Sane trilogy is a stark reminder of just how long ago 1996 really was.'
well for one it's not as long as the author thinks, since he kept saying it was 3 decades and 30 years ago. 1996 is 21years ago, it's long but less long than 30 years.

i've never played crash, sonic was my guy back then. but i am Happy to see the mascot of old make a come back.

i hope some of the other old IPs get proper remakes :)

[andrewsquall]

Sonic was my guy too but not by 1996. :)

[goken]

i got a ps back then as well... but i have to admit i was gaming more on the saturn n the dreamcast... i actually missed all of the ps mascots, although i enjoyed plenty of ps n ps2 games as well

[NotoriousWhiz]

Pretty much every quality game from the Ps1 / N64 era could use a remake. That gen does not hold up well graphically, especially on HDTVs.

[goken]

ya, except maybe paparapa the rapper lol!
totally man, and there were tonnes of quality games. those were the zenith of Japanese game development :)

[Yohshida]

It looks great and they got the Humor right. Just the control delay and hit/jump detection are horrible. Nothing that couldnt be patched right.. I want spyro and medievil remastered Collection too.

[Phill-Spencer]

Yes i would love if medievil gets a similar graphical overhaul like crash nsane and abe new&tasty. Never played spyro though so i don't know if i would want it.

[nix]

i spent entire weekend playing CB 1. i'm halfway into 2. the games are addictive. it's hard but the fluffy cartoony feel doesn't let you think that it's undoable (except the road to nowhere and highway - i rope climbed that). i might have died countless (zillions) times mostly because i drift off instead of concentrating. there are some places where i would die unnecessarily as pointed in the article but that's really small percentage in my case. also i'm not playing like those hardcore gamers who are trying to get every gem without dying so it's cool for me. going by the way how much i played that game, i'm not surprised why the kids in those days were hooked to it.

[Yohshida]

Entire weekend for cb1? Its done in 2-3h with all chests

[nix]

you're magnificent then, my friend.

i actually finished CB 1 and half way into CB 2. still slower than most people though.

[Yohshida]

Hehe, I play the Classic ones every year. I pretty much go through them blind

[xenz]

I didn't expect this game to have modern platforming elements. I expected a simple, charming old school platformer and that is what it is.

I've never played Crash until now, and I think its refreshing. Played through 1st and 2nd game. Looking forward to 3rd later today.

[DanteVFenris666]

Modern platforming? Like auto climbing like asscreed?

Modern platforming doesn't exist except like Mario

[nix]

LBP, Knack, Trine, Limbo, Braid, Fez etc. I'm sure there are countless.

[Chaos_Order]

This insistence that old games suck because of old-school mechanics and design is getting tiresome.

I still play old PS1 and PS2 games from time to time, most of which are games that I wanted to play as a kid but couldn't because I had no income, but now I can buy. I didn't play games like Front Mission 3, King's Field IV, Castlevania: Symphony of The Night, Gregory Horror Show, Final Fantasy IX and others until the PS4 era, and yet they became some of my favourite games of all time. This isn't to say improvements haven't been made in the world of gaming, but many classics truly do hold up even today.

I'm not the biggest fan of Crash per se but I LOVE the PS1 Spyro games, and own copies of all three. At one point I even played all 3 back to back and enjoyed the hell out of them (Spyro 2 is definitely my favourite though). Oh, and this was only a few years ago. If they made a remaster I would be mighty tempted.

But sure, it's all "nostalgia goggles", and those games suck now. Whatever you say.

[Inzo]

I dont understand gamers, if you are having fun playing this game, which I am like many others, why is this such an issue? Its a brilliant remake of a classic that is able to take me away from the off-centre direction that some of the games are taking these days, completely forgetting the reason why we game. Crash has brought back some of the fun.

[SharnOfTheDEAD]

"Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy shows why we shouldn't remaster classics" It's had the second largest launch of the year in the UK. I doubt that will extinguish this trend, and considering i'm one of the many people who bought it I'm very much so enjoying it along with the Wipeout Collection.

[AnubisG]

Author = idiot

[Mr_Luke]

Top in the UK sales, number one PSN downloaded game after 1 day (not 1 week, 1 day).
People love Crash, people like remasters (unless the original game was already garbage or it's a fast/bad made remaster). And Crash is a very good remaster. And funny (and hard, damn!!).
I don't know why GQ has to talk about games, i know it covers a bit of everything but.... Well, i disagree with the author.
I was saying how good is Crash compared to Crash of the titans on FB and i've been assaulted (with offenses to my mom too... -_-) by an army of idiots. Maybe he's part of them?

[AnubisG]

Crash of the Titans is crap. People who insulted you are probably younger who never played the originals and grew up with CotT instead thinking that is how Crash suposed to be not kowing what a perversion that game was.

[mad-dog]

It was never a great game. It was okay. People without a Nintendo machine seemed to think it was though.
It wasn't. One of the worst character designs ever, by the way.

Lol, lot's of PS4 owners here i see, judging from the reactions.

[we420]

Well I mean it is a PS4 game.

[ShadowWolf712]

Or people who know poor attempts at Stealth Trolling when they see one.

Had an N64 and a PS1. Still loved the Crash games.

[mad-dog]

Stealth trolling? I said it's not a great game. That's literally not stealthy or trolling.
Great that you loved the Crash games. But nostalgia can be a bit misleading when it comes to reality.

[ShadowWolf712]

Son, Nostalgia has no power over me, I'm one of the first to go back and watch, read, or play something I loved as a kid and admit it was terrible.

Crash just wasn't bad. Especially 2 and 3.

[DanteVFenris666]

I personally think n64 had much better games, mostly because of the masterpiece superman 64.

But still ps1 had many great games spyro and crash are what I mostly remember though. I probably played other games but that's all I remember.

Edit: oh I remember another one. Gex who could forget about gex

[mad-dog]

Oh PS1 had AMAZING games. Don't get me wrong. Just not that great platformers.
But if i remember correctly, there were platformers on it better than Crash.

[Newmanator]

Gq-magazine didn't have a childhood

[Gh05t]

This guy writes gaming articles all over the place unfortunately. Not a fan of his reviews or opinions on gaming. Wish I would have checked who the author was before reading the piece.

[Lynx0207]

I know why. Because it took another several tens of hours of my life.
It was great game for me in 1996 and it is great now, exactly how I remembered it. There is no many platformers like it nowadays.

[yeahokwhatever]

Its great to have the visuals impress like they did the first time i played the game. I absolutely love this collection and I hope Sony keeps spitting them out. PS1 still has my favorite catalog of games.

[TheOttomatic91]

Are you high mate?

[JackTheLiz]

Hehehehehe... flawed game? That's 100% of games out there.

[WhiteyFox]

This article is so funny.

[mynameisBlade]

Game is beautiful. Exactly like the original, but better looking. People really should lower their expectations. If you like it great and if you dont you dont. Remasters will always be a thing and I'm glad these games got the treatment. If its too hard for you then....not sure what to say.. Practice makes perfect. Good luck!

[andrewsquall]

Maybe in the authors bizarre world. Everywhere else its reviewing well and selling out of stock. Well done to losing your credibility forever author. It won't be missed.

[Dragonscale]

The game is selling gangbusters lol, talk about downplaying. It wouldn't work for every retro title but some would definitely benefit from the remaster treatment if done right. Theres quite a few PS1 games that are worthy tbh.

[yeahokwhatever]

This game is insanely good. A remaster done RIGHT.

[BlaqMagiq1]

The Crash trilogy are undeniable classics and the trilogy made them even better.

[kevnb]

Don't like it, don't buy it. No need to rain on anybody else's parade.

[GNCFLYER]

Whether you've played it or not. It's a damn good change of pace.

In a world of serious toned AAA games and long rpg titles this is very welcome.

Like Nintendo switch has colorful kid friendly games the PS4 needs ratchet and clank and crash.

Also people like me that want to revisit the past

[SR388]

I remember when I first played it in late 97... It was great but there are loads of ps1 games that deserved a remaster more than crash

[SojournUK]

Spyro ≥ Crash

[Klonoa-dreamtraveler]

yet even activision are noticing how well the game is selling and how well its getting reviews that they are even considering continuing the franchise. The game is awesome and fun and of course i love the nostalgia i don't expect new gen gamer's to understand as they hate anything that comes with a actual challenge and dub it as flawed.

[SinisterKieran]

really? i'm pretty sure its selling well.
exactly the reason why they will

[Markusb33]

I played it in store a month back and forgot how many hours I spent on this. It actually made me buy it and took me back to how tough games were before we were all cry babies.

[Harkins1721]

Get the fuck out of here

[mastershredder]

If you want to relive your childhood go buy some pullups. Even those are more exciting than the Crash games.

[mogwaii]

This game always sucked.

[AdmGenAladeen]

This article shows why you should stop writing bullshit!!

[Segata]

Only played the first 2 and didn't care for them. They were really boring. I ran down a corridor collected apples and spun into enemies over and over and over and over. I got them when I bought my PSOne in 2004. I see these games as they were interesting on release but in this day and age that formula just has aged poorly.

I really liked Ape Escape,Spyro,Medieval however and would like to see remakes of those.

[thehitman1398]

Gq, just stick to clothing or whatever crap u talk about n ur magazines..... plz just don't review games anymore.. plz

[gleepot]

They remade the games to be as close as they could to the originals. The same issues the originals had carried over, with no intention for them to be fixed.

[PiperMCFierceson]

Never was a Crash fan, still not... don't know why I'm on this thread.

[Germaximus]

The headline alone makes the author deserve a fat slap to the face.

[Markusb33]

It's actually good to have a game that is fun and doesn't need you to think too much but just get your timing right and improve your skill. These were the days before fan boy wars and 4k, happier times for gaming.
