Just like the Spyro trilogy, these are excellent remakes of games that were originally pretty good.

They're definitely kids' games. If you're an adult and have no nostalgia for the series, you're not going to find some masterpiece of movement tech or complex level design. These games are remembered because they have a strong visual identity, instantly understandable controls, memorable characters and environments, and because the original target audience were children who'd be impressed by a game being in 3D. That's not to say it isn't fun. Just simple.

It's good they didn't try to "modernize" these games. They're exactly as they used to be, only rebuilt with new tech. I respect the decision not to tinker with the gameplay. It's not trying to be a new game or a "reimagining". What used to be good is still good. What used to be frustrating is still frustrating. That's how a remake should be.

If you want a game with unfair platforming mechanics, this game is right for you.

I often find myself having to guess the distance I have to jump from the next platform because the camera angle is terrible -- not to mention to janky hitboxes.

Also, the distance between each checkpoint varies incredibly. Sometimes I find myself doing three jumps and getting another checkpoint; other times I find myself trekking the entire Amazon Rainforest without getting any checkpoints.

These errors within the game, although they may seem minor at first, really add up to create an unpleasant platforming experience from the 5 hours in which I forced myself to play this game.

I've never played any other Crash Bandicoot games until now, and if any of the other games are even remotely similar to this trilogy pack, I would stay far away.
