Crash Bandicoot

"A good game, but improvement is needed"

Hello people. I will have now written a reveiew for every game in the Crash series except for Crash Bash. Note that this might be a bit wrong because I borrowed this game.
GRAPHICS 8/10
Great graphics, good graphics, stupeondus graphics. I absolutely LOVE the graphics in this game. (I borrowed it a few months ago.) When you see the bats, you can see every flap of the wing. When the bridges fall, you can see them split in two. I gave these an eight because every single death scene is the same!!!! And, it is boring!!!!!!! At least there are good graphics while dying.
SOUND/MUSIC 9/10
The sound's good. When the bat lets the other bats go, you can hear some sort of screeching noise that would be made by a bat. Also, the brideges make a cool sound when they break in two. And, when you die, there's a weird combination of musical and sound when you die. But it is boring after a while. But I do like the sound of the stone rolling on the4 platforms in those such levels. The music is the reason I gave this a nine. It's good, but there is absolutely no variety. I enter the first level, yes nice tropical music. I enter the next. Nice, tropical music with a twist in it. I enter the next. Nice, tropical music with a twist in it. The next. NICE TROPICAL MUSIC WITH A TWIST IN IT! It never ends.
GAMEPLAY 6/10
This is where it starts to fail. Like rollercoaster tycoon, you get to one level, and you'll be trying it forever and will never beat it. Road to Nowhere is called that for a reason. And want to know ho I got to Road to Nowhere? Through lost city! Another example of impossibility. I beat it by ''cheating'' a little trick I learned on up the creek. No I will not tell you how. Also, the gem system is pointless. There are no levels without a gem path. (Which contain boxes) And to get a gem you have to get all the boxes in the level. Yay. And once again I come to no variety. First, second, third, fourth, fifth is just a little different, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth is like five, Ah. Here we stop. Now we have variety. But I did not get much past that so I don't know much about the future levels.
OVERALL 8/10
This is sincerely, a n okay game, it's actually quite fun sometimes, but level thirteen is so impossible. I actually recommend buying, but I have so many other fun games I didn't have time to. Bye!
