Crash Bandicoot: Warped

The third game in a trilogy seems to be the point when the developers figure out what the fans want and how much to add to deliver that. In this game, there are the classic Crash Bandicoot mechanics like the platforming, combat and collectables, but there is also expansion in the variety of temporal settings, the combat moves, the vehicles, the secret areas and more. I had a great time playing this game!

Crash Bandicoot 3 Warped is my childhood. I walked into the Toys R Us and saw a collection of video games on display in a demo. Ridge Racer Type 4, Spyro 3, Metal Gear Solid, Crash Bandicoot 3. They where all GREAT games. Games that could not be touched by 7th gen hardware in terms of quality and concept.

STORY

After defeating the allied enemy of Neo Cortex, the doctor was at a lost cause until he found the Power Crystals. Now he has teamed up with the evil Uka Uka mask and a group of other jerks to rule over earth. Only Crash and Cocoa and the Wise Aku Aku can stop them.

GAMEPLAY

The Gameplay is the most evolved form of Crash Bandicoot. More moves, more pace, many levels. Crash 3 is so great! It's the same linear level design as before but still works.

It's so polished.

Did I mention you can ride a baby tiger or a jet ski? Cocoa is the best. The bosses are fun. Need I say more?

You can go on time trials and it's the best. Collect Gems. Underwater levels are actually fun

GRAPHICS

The graphics in Crash Bandicoot 3 are the finest in all of the PS1 library. All the textures are detailed and crisp and gritty. Every level has it's own theme and they all feel like they come straight out of a Disney movie of the same time. The characters are expressive as if they come out of the Loony Tunes short and the polygon count is really high. Enemies are varied. So much shiny.

SOUND

The music is fun. It really hits hard since it runs on the sound chip. The bass hits hard and isn't prerecorded garbage. WOAH and BLING fill this game. I love it.

OVERALL

Crash Bandicoot 3 is the best in the series. If you played the others play this. It's the best.

Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped was the very first video game I ever played when I was only 7 years old. My parents surprised me with this game along with my first PS console. This game brings me back lots of memories!

CRASH BANDICOOT: Warped (1998) is great Crash game brought to us by Naughty Dog (Crash, Jak and Daxter, Last of Us)

This game follows Crash as he travels through time, going through different levels and areas. In this game we see Crash once again team up with his little sister Cocoa as they once again earn crystals and gems to progress.

"Crash Bandicoot, Aku Aku and Coco travel through time to stop Dr. Cortex and Aku Aku's evil twin brother Uka Uka from enslaving Earth."

Overall, this game is a great addition to the Crash series and a very fun play. Graphics are visuals are great, as well as gameplay and music.

I started playing this game for the first time on Sony PS1 in late 1998 when I was eight years old. I think I've beaten this game about few times but I've missed some gems and relics, I'm afraid. Anyway It's a really good game. Its gameplay is kinda very similar to the one in the previous Crash Bandicoot game. Crash's younger sister Coco becomes fully playable for the first time but she is silent in this 1998 sequel unlike the most of Crash Bandicoot games.

I have it on PS4 as its remastered version in Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy. It looks amazing. I like its both classic and remastered versions. I cannot prefer so who cares which one is the best anyway?!

It's probably one of the best PS1 games of all time.
