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

    It's fun to play, with just-cute-enough graphics and sound, it manages to be full of platforming charm and humour without ever overdoing it the way so many western platformers do, and some of the mini-games could sell by themselves.

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

    Each overworld that Crash visits is filled with platform elements that have been drawn out from generation to generation and have just ceased to be original any longer.

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

    The library of mini-games alone makes the game a must have for anyone looking for hours of mindless fun. Add to that all of the cool extras unlocked when linked with a copy of Spyro Orange, and you end up with an awesome cross-franchise certain to leave you craving more.

    When all is said and done, I wanted to keep playing these games to the end, because I was having fun, even though I had seen it all a dozen times in previous levels. [Summer 2004, p.34]

At least this game still kind of feels like the actual great Crash GBA games, which is much more than what I could say for Spyro Orange, as that game literally has nothing for Spyro fans other than the Sprite model and that's it.… Full Review »
