Now they’ve got their eyes set on not only simply conquering this dimension, but ALL dimensions, and it’s up to Crash and Coco to save the day. N. Sanity Beach is where Crash’s adventure first started, and where it begins in Crash 4. But there have definitely been changes since players first saw N.

    I can’t think of a better platformer released in the past several years. Crash 4: It’s About Time is an absolute must buy and it’s truly about time that Activision returned Crash to his former glory. Hopefully we don’t have to wait another 20 years before we get another sequel.

    Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time is the perfect distillation of classic gameplay, and modern gaming demands. It is full to bursting with content, things to earn and masses of replayability. Though its difficulty may be too high for some, it’s definitely the best Crash Bandicoot has ever been and deserves its place alongside the original trilogy. A classic modernised and a modern classic.

    Crash Bandicoot 4 is following the footsteps of the original trilogy and enriches its content by bringing new gameplay mechanics and by offering a great challenge.

    Full of colour, humour, and challenge, Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time is a storming return and a great follow up to the original trilogy.

    Although the game has some flaws, Crash 4 is a joy to play thanks to a great deal of content. The platforming action will bring a smile to your face, no matter if you're a fan from back in the day or if this is your first Crash title.

    Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time has everything that made Naughty Dog's original trilogy one of the most popular game series of the second half of the 90's. The same addictive gameplay is mixed with new elements we have not seen before in the series. The result is an adventure that we continue to play long after the final scenes have rolled by.

    It’s a shame, then, that some of the level design choices don’t really pair up with the engine Toys for Bob has built this love-letter to 90s platforming games in. Loose and floaty physics, an abundance of different mechanics that often feel part-baked, and some design choices that feel sadistic – rather than simply difficult – leave this approach to Crash Bandicoot feeling less like a true sequel, and more like a licensed spin-off.

    Crash Bandicoot 4 is frustratingly great.
    Idk if that makes sense...but this game proves that Crash is still a great series!

Definitely the best from the series imo and I think toys for bob really understood how to make this game faithful to the original. The new game mechanics they introduced, such as the wall running and the 4 masks really took the fun to another level. They also introduced the different characters that you can play with which was definitely needed in a game like Crash 4. The story is also way more vibrant and they really made coco have a prominent role in the story, and the animations are beautiful as well. My only gripe with this game though is how hard it is to obtain the costumes/skins you can unlock. In a normal play through, I was only able to get 1 costume during it and I kinda wish i was able to get them more frequently… Expand

This game was really fun but i have to lower it by 2 points because it’s downright frustrating at times , i died up to 200 times in some levels it was that hard. Takes alot of patience to play this game
    And collecting everything is way too hard it’s ridiculous. But as a massive crash fun since childhood this game was really good. Every level had good variety and looked different and crash controlled very smooth. Definitely recommend this game    … Expand

    Crash from this version doesn't have that fancy look like in older, even when they have less polygons.

    And the game is crazy hard from beginning. I've loose more than 30 lives on a second level. That is sucks. Stick to remastered trilogy. Way better and gives more fun. Sorry Activision but im not sorry. Well deserved 0/10.    … Expand
