    As long as you aren’t expecting another great platformer, Crash Purple works.

    Upon closer inspection this schizoid gameplay combination does seem to work.

    With its strong minigames and well-made platforming mechanics, Crash Bandicoot Purple is a good, solid choice for fans of the genre.

    My biggest gripe would have to be with the lack of any record of your mini game times. This alone would serve to at least add a few more hours onto the gameplay, and that would be a large improvement over the 5 or 6 hours this game will last you.

    It's all pretty simple. Crash collects Wumpa fruit, Spyro collects crystals, and they both jump over lots of spikes.

    Crash Purple doesn't come anywhere near the superb mayhem of "WarioWare," while the platform segments are poorly developed and feel like an afterthought.

    Flawed on such a basic gameplay level that I cannot in good conscience recommend it to anybody. I plead with you not to play this game.

    With Crash Bandicoot Purple being focused on minigames, but also involving much platforming, neither aspect of the gameplay goes beyondWith Crash Bandicoot Purple being focused on minigames, but also involving much platforming, neither aspect of the gameplay goes beyond mediocre level. Also there's the fact that it is unacceptably short. Its a shame that such a great idea for a crossover ended up being so... just okay. (The graphics are good for GBA though)… Expand
