    With 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)

    This game gets a lot of hate but I am mixed with Ripto's Rampage. The minigames are mostly a hit or miss and the story is just plain stupid. But, I still had fun unlike....Mind over Mutants.

    While the visuals, gameplay, and presentation are all great for a GBA game, it's hard to ignore the repetitive mini games, short length, and subpar boss battles. 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.

    Fun for the time that it lasts, after that, it is not much fun.

    A mildly diverting party game/platformer that kiddies of all ages will enjoy. Pros: Great graphics for the GBA; variety of mini-games; the platforming "hubworld" has a lot to collect; it's a tad bit better than Spyro Orange. Cons: Too short, too easy; some of the mini-games get repetitious.

    Crash Fusion no es un mal juego, y en parte lo disfrute. Pero podrían haber aprovechado el mundo abierto para las plataformas y no para buscar minijuegos que por cierto, algunos me gustaron y otros no. La parte plataformera se siente muy forzada y no sirve de nada, ni siquiera se pueden acceder rápidamente a los minijuegos una vez encontrados lo que obliga a un backtracking excesivo.Crash Fusion no es un mal juego, y en parte lo disfrute.

La parte plataformera se siente muy forzada y no sirve de nada, ni siquiera se pueden acceder rápidamente a los minijuegos una vez encontrados lo que obliga a un backtracking excesivo. Muchos de los minijuegos ademas son frustrantes y asi te quitan las ganas de jugar. Se puede disfrutar mas si tenes a alguien con quien intercambiar tarjetas desde una GBA original con el Spyro Fusión, cosa que muy pocas personas deben de saber, ya que casi todos a día de hoy si lo juegan lo hacen en emulador. Y por ultimo, agradezco que hayan hecho un crossover con Spyro, pero se pudo explotar mas, ya que casi ni tiene mucha importancia en la jugabilidad y en la trama. No fue hasta la salida del Nitro Fueled donde le dieron la aparición que se merecía. Después de Boom Bang este es el peor Crash jamas hecho, pero para los estandares de la GBA llega a cumplir siendo algo decente.… Expand

    I **** can not stand Crash Purple. The story is an abomination, and its mini games are horrible due to repetition. I can never get my self to play this game again after just playing it just once. The game is just a **** mess of mini games, to explain what I mean, the mini games are just bland and boring. And those mini games get repeated through out the game with slight changes.

And the story does not make sense because it mostly stems from Crash characters meeting with Spyro characters in which they are not in the same universe with each other. However, this is nothing compared to Spyro Orange.… Expand

    The gripes are really mainly relating to the individual games, which for anyone remotely experienced will quickly become far too familiar and untaxing to warrant extended interest.

    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.
