Crash Bandicoot

"Get this IF YOU CAN!"

I am reviewing this game, because it has only just recently come back to my attention. I bag you to keep an open mind throughout this and don't make up your mind until the end. This game came out in the 1990's. It is very overlooked in its time and that is because it's average. This game is an adventure game. I know adventure game, a little cliche, but hear me out. I own alot of games, this may be in the middle but if you don't have alot of money and a very outdated system I highly think you shoulg get this.

Graphics
This game was released a long time ago so obviously the graphics aren't that great. For the time they were ok, but in todays world of hi def tv graphics they aren't all that stellar. If you look at COD4, Halo 3, Mass Effect you'll think these are not much more than pong and although it hurts gameplay you have to keep when it was made in mind while thinking about the game. These graphics hurt game play in my opinion, because it really takes away from what you're doing and will make you wish you weren't playing. I don't think you should let that effect your decision about whether or not to buy the game, because it's not a shooter or game where you would need great graphics..

Gameplay
Now this is interesting... It is the usual controls to any game really for the PS1, if you can't handle this, then you can't handle any game's controls. It is fairly easy but sometimes hard in the ed it all balances out but still leans to the hard side.

Story
Probably the saving grace of this game for me. The story is a decent one. Again a little cliche, but just go with it. I'm not going to say too much about the story as to non ruin the game. But it is alright for the average gamer I mean it isn't like you would send it back on your first day you got it!

To sum it all up this game is a pretty average game. That being said it's decent and if it sounded interesting you can go wrong playing it. This game is old. It's really not that great and I would recommend anybody this game. If the gimmick sounds good get it. If not don't. I for one have played it and like it.
