Crash Bandicoot

I love Crash Bandicoot. Crash Bandicoot is one of the best 3D platformers of all time. The plot is simple. You are a mutated Bandicoot with human traits, Dr. Cortex has stolen your "female Bandicoot" and now you must save her.

Crash Bandicoot 1 is a simple 3D platformer. So simple that it's hard to play. Imagine getting totally pwned on a bridge with a realistic warthog bucking you every time.

Collect Wumpa fruit and get a life when you make 100. Go to certain special stages when you collect 3 Tawna heads and save.

No boxes, no gem. The goal of the game is to get all the boxes to get a gem. Gems can open up areas and lead you to a desired ending.

Get a Aku Aku mask to become invulnerable. Get 3 to be a Demigod mowing down baddies and showing explosive boxes who's boss.

The gameplay is delightfully linear and full of obstacles. Though it is more challenging than the later entries. Crash spins and stomps enemies.

Crash Bandicoot 1 is such a retro video game. Not in it's presentation (which I highly admire). But, because it makes you use passwords in a 3D video game. On PS1, before anyone could comprehend what a memory card is mind you? "Oook Oook! What's a memory card?! I'm going to throw an iMac to the floor! " There is a memory function but password saves are totally from the SNES era.

The graphics and sound are amazing for a PS1 game. Everything is so dark, gritty, moody yet so toony, colorful and vibrant. Crash is just so 90's attitude in his design. He is just so expressive. We love him. The music by the way is performed by Mark Mothersburgh of Devo fame though I think he was lacking on his soundtrack because it mostly feels quiet but zany nonetheless. You will feel just like you're in a glorified Looney Tunes short.

Some of the enemies are down right creepy because they have never been textured.

Overall, Crash Bandicoot is a profoundly rewarding experience.

This is one of the best games of the 20th century! This gem dropped in 1996 and quickly became a staple of the PlayStation era. I mean, who could resist that wacky little orange dude and his vibrant, wild world? From the get-go, you dive into a colorful, slightly chaotic adventure filled with jumping, spinning, and a whole lot of collecting! Each level is packed with character-whether you're racing through a lush jungle, dodging boulders, or trying to navigate those tricky platform sequences, it's a joyride all the way. The graphics were groundbreaking for the time, and they still have a certain charm that makes you smile. Let me tell you, the difficulty curve is real! Those levels can be challenging, but they keep you coming back for more. Every time you think you've mastered a level, you find yourself face-to-face with some crazy new obstacle. I swear, I like to think of myself as a seasoned gamer, but Crash does have a way of putting you in your place! And oh, the music! Those catchy tunes get stuck in your head for days. You can't help but hum along while you try and beat your high score.

It is a delightful throwback that perfectly captures the essence of classic platforming. If you haven't tried it yet, or if you're just feeling nostalgic, fire it up and get ready for some fun! It's a wild ride that never gets old.

I remember playing this game including the demo version on Sony PS1 when I was a kid. I beat this game about few times I think but I missed some gems, I'm afraid. It's kinda very challenging but it's still a great game though.

It's about our goofy hero Crash Bandicoot who goes on his quest to rescue his sweetheart Tawna from the evil mad scientist Dr. Neo Cortex.

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

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

CRASH BANDICOOT (1996) is a modern classic video game brought to us by Naughty Dog, (Crash, Jak and Daxter, Last of Us), and now a deeply beloved franchise series, as well as being the games of my childhood. This game started the magic.

Crash Bandicoot is our mostly silent protagonist (he doesn't speak, but does make sounds when spinning or injured) and this game introduces the iconic character as he seeks to defeat enemies and rescue his girlfriend, Tawna.

"Crash Bandicoot is on a quest to rescue his girlfriend from the evil Dr. Neo Cortex."

This game is very nostalgic to many children's childhoods. This game may not the greatest of the franchise but it certainly holds significance being the beginning of a much beloved character and story. Overall, a great game!

It is terrible everything is almost a scam, the difficulty is hateful and terrible since it is difficult and not playable, the gameplay is boring and generic only jumps and an attack that does not help much, the only good thing about this mediocre game would be the graphics that are good for their era and music with average level designs.
