    One of the best and most innovative platform games ever being made playable again like it had just released today for the first time with these updated graphics that is clearly more than a few graphical tweaks.

    The gameplay of this remake is very nostalgic, phisics and feedback is very very looks like the original version of PS1. I'll recommend to everyone play this game!Crash is back and in an amazing way. Crash was my first ever platformer for the PS1. Followed by Crash 2 and Crash 3 just making the series get better and better every time.

    A lot of heart went into recreating these games…
    This collection is a reminder that our favorite games aren’t as great as we remembered..
    But with the polish and care that went into the insane trilogy to bring it up to date…
    I feel this collection is a must have for any platforming fan..
    I give Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy
    a 7.5/10

    No matter how much I played, I never knew what was coming next. Naughty Dog did a great job at creating these games, two of which have managed to defy the odds and remain some of the best platformers ever up to two decades after release, and Vicarious Visions has made them look better than ever thanks to the delightfully personable animations on Crash and crew.

    For those that say it's only 30fps. Big deal, who gives a **** beside wannabe hipsters. This is not a first person shooter, you don't need 60fps. There is essentially zero difference visually or game play wise.
    People that complain about 30fps are the same people that buy a brand name 300$ T-Shirt. They are more concern with the brand than functionality.

    The N-Sane Trilogy doesn't do much to fix the problems of the originals, but I like that about it. It's not an apology for the original's mistakes, it a celebration of their success, and a pretty good one too!

    I saw this game when I was out shopping, and thought OMG Crash Bandicoot, that was fun as a kid.

    Bought it.

    Had friends over, with some beers.

    Got stuck on the high road level, everybody rage quit.

    Started playing again 15 minutes later, played from 7 p.m. to 3 a.m.

    Best 40 dollars I ever spent.

    This game just proves how fast Naughty Dog is moving at full force. First the amazing Last of Us, then the spectacular Uncharted 4, and now their classic game series Crash has been rebuilt from the ground up for PS4, and the developers have done a fantastic job. Veteran Crash fans and newcomers alike can now experience this well-crafted plat-former created by mastermind developers.

    If you are new to these kind of games, don't even bother trying the first one though, it's very hard for beginners, even the remastered one. Even if you are a fan of the series, or just a fan of 3D platforming, BUY THIS COLLECTION NOW!!! Crash Bandicoot is back, and hopefully he'll stay this time.

    Now this is how you do a remaster! This collection is absolutely incredible! As someone who grew up with Crash Bandicoot on the PS1, the smile this bought to my face during load-up was enormous! The sheer joy from replaying those childhood memories is amazing, especially given how good this remaster is! Some of my main points are as follows:

    - The graphics are stunning, the characters are excellently animated and the environments are gorgeous. The colours just pop, and it's nice to see how much attention to detail has been paid to the original level design. I haven't played the original in over a decade but I instantly remembered the levels when replaying them!

    - The controls are superb, they are highly sensitive and make platforming a challenge, but they're also rewarding. Anyone who complains about the controls is clearly lacking an ability to handle their precision. They are quite unforgiving, but that's the point! A platforming game is supposed to have tricky platforming.

    - Great replay value! The crystals and gems will take a few play-throughs, but there's now also time trials in all three games. This was originally only in Crash 3, so it's quite cool that they retrospectively added these to the first two games. Of course, there are also three platinum trophies to collect.

    - The soundtrack has been masterfully remastered! As with the level design, I instantly recalled the catchy music, especially in levels like "Road to Nowhere" and "Native Fortress". It sounds very similar to the originals but a bit more upbeat and modernised. They truly did a great job on staying true to the originals, but with a new twist.

    Seriously, you simply cannot ask for more when it comes to this collection! Finally, after years of ruining Crash Bandicoot, Activision has finally given us fans what we've wanted for so long, and they nailed! Everyone needs to buy this game!

    If it sells well enough, hopefully we will see a remaster of Crash Team Racing, and who knows... maybe Spyro the Dragon! Buy this great collection and prepare for hours of fun!

    First of all let me clear something up before i dive into the review: I loved the original Crash Bandicoot games on the Playstation (Those from Naughty Dog) and so i knew what to expect, and also realize this game may be a bit to simplistic and linear compared to modern 3D platform games, but this is my opinion, so if you can accept that, read on :-)

    First of all let me clear something up before i dive into the review: I loved the original Crash Bandicoot games on the Playstation (Those from Naughty Dog) and so i knew what to expect, and also realize this game may be a bit to simplistic and linear compared to modern 3D platform games, but this is my opinion, so if you can accept that, read on :-)

    First of all the thing that striked me most are obviously the improved graphics. Yes, i was also surprised that the PS4 could not hit 60 fps, but even on my 65 inc OLED 4K 3D tv, i did not noticed the lower frame rate to badly. I guess it's because of the speed of this game is rather low, and so no huge movement at the horizon, and so i did not felt to manny frames where missing. Add to this the wonderful redrawn graphics, and the cool lighting effects, and i was still surprised in a positive way, even after getting the game knowing the frame rate was not that high (i saw the video from Digital Foundry before getting the game)

    The sound on the PS version was allready great, and fitted the game perfectly. It now sounds a bit more clear and the low ends improve the punch of the drums and bass guitar a lot on a proper stereo. Add to this the fun sound bites from the game, and it's clear Vicarious Visions did their best to deliver a proper version of the 3 CB games.

    Of course gameplay is most important, and here comes the part where i can't say this game is for everyone. I have played the orginal games a lot, and finished them all, and after playing the remakes, i was happy the control felt mostly the same, with some minor tweaks. Nothing to different to make it feel it's not a Crash Bandicoot game, but still, here and there where moments that i had to adopt my playing style to pass some more dificult parts in some stages. So for me, the game still holds up well, but i am afraid for some the game play may be to shallow, even compared with Mario 64, so i respect this game is not for everyone.

    Lastabillity is also improtant, next to game play, and here is where the game value lies: You don't pay full price, but you do get 3 full games (i have to admid those are conversions from old 3D platform games, but still, it's like you would get all NeoGeo Metal Slug games on one cartridge instead of having to buy them seperately, so having the complete series of CB is a good thing to me, they could have also released them seperate, and still ask the same price) So if you are like me, and you loved the Playstation versions, you will be bussy for a while before you finish everything in the games they offer.

    My conclusion is for me, i will get my moneys worth out of this compilation, and would re play the games even after finishing them all, so for me, Vicarious Visions have succeed in what i was hoping those games would be. So feel free to like the game, or if you never had a thing for Crash Bandicoot you don't like to "basic" semi 3D platformers, this game is not for you.

That same feeling came back when I heard that Crash Bandicoot would have not just one or two, but the first three games completely remastered. When it was finally released, I was 5 years old, no care in the world, and sucked right back into the world of Crash. The graphics where Amazing! I was blown away by how different it was, and before the release I had replayed the first three games on my PlayStation one. They brought back Crash without losing or compromising anything. It was the original game with today's graphics. It Would be cool to see a brand new Crash Bandicoot game, but I'm still 100% Happy with this remaster.

    The bad thing is that it goes to 30 fps but well it is the only thing that I can emphasize that is something serious.

You'll love it, don't hesitate to rewind your years and feel like a kid again...unless you were an adult at the time too, in which case get it still...and feel like a...younger...adult...yea.

    Now, gamers who have not played Crash Bandicoot I will keep it short. Imagine playing a 2D platformer but in 3D over 3 'lanes' occasionally giving you a 2.5D classic platformer; this is the simple idea behind Crash's gameplay. It works, and it works well. This is just simply because it looks great and level design allows a smooth casual sit on your sofa experience and for the first time in a long time we've played it with a few people passing around the controller to try and beat the level or get a better time in a time trial mode that unlocks on passing the level. It is just back to basics fun out of the box and I implore gamers to grab it. You are getting 3 games with some very tricky hard to earn gems...you're getting lots of hours here if you're a completionist. The general difficulty can get a bit all over the place but this was - and is - part of Crash Bandicoots endearing design. I am trying not to give the impression I am biased towards 'games were better in my day', because in all honesty a lot weren't after revisiting them, this game however is a standout.

    I can't give this game a perfect score, and this is more from a technical standpoint. The game itself I think should be able to run comfortably at 60 frames for smoother gameplay, but it doesn't with some noticeable frame drops in certain parts. Even though the PS4 Pro exists and probably doesn't have the issue, I still think this game should of easily been able to hit the gamers ideal framerate on the standard console. The controls don't also feel as responsive given the nature of the gameplay is about timing. Those aside though it doesn't run terribly, most people won't even know. I have a PC that easily runs games at high FPS, which has made it more noticeable for me.

    that is both a positive and a slight negative thing, because I really welcome a challenge, but these games can seem downright unfair at times, which may turn quite a few gamers off - at least those who didn't get acquainted

    Crash Bandicoot 1 is a fun and challenging time whether you are just playing through it, getting all the gems, or getting the platinum trophy in it like I did.

I do have to note, however, that the hit detection in this game is complete crap; you will slip off of ledges that you landed on, enemies you spun into will not be hit, enemies you didn't touch will kill you, (the turtles especially), and it is a major nuisance when going for the colored gems and relics. This is not an issue in the other 2 due to the slide jump in 2 & 3, and power-ups in 3. Crash Bandicoot 2, while introducing the always fun slide jump, suffers from poor level design. It is made worse by the dash boots being added to it. The game was not made for that speed, leading to cheap deaths. The relics are ridiculous and the game is more annoying than it is fun. Crash Bandicoot: Warped is just an average experience if you are just going through it, but if you are fully completing it like I did, it is the best in the trilogy and the most fun by far. It also has a lot of variety, something the other 2 games lack. Overall, a collection of 2 of the best PS1 games of all time, and one lackluster one. Expand

    Just like with my Tekken 7 review, I've decided to give this some time so my fanboy bias won't manipulate my opinion. Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy is a very faithful retelling of the original Playstation games.

    The controls feel very smooth and natural, very close to the original titles. However, this time Crash's hitbox in more circular than square which does make him slide off platforms more easily. This makes some of the jumps quite tricky and more difficult than before, but it's nothing that breaks the game, it just adds some extra difficulty. To some that may even be a plus. I personally love a challenge and the precise and fun controls make it a total blast.

    The levels also look incredibly gorgeous. They are faithful recreations of the original landscapes brought into a beautiful HD appearance. The layout, enemies, and collectables are all the same but with a fresh coat of modern day graphic paint. The only problem with the visuals is the lighting on Crash himself. It's very awkward in some areas, but that's about the only visual problem I can think of.

    The story and characters are as you know him. The vocal performances are fantastic, and you'll be glad to meet your favorite heroes and villains again. The gameplay is as solid as ever and the game is candy to the eye. With the only problems being a minor lighting issue and overly precise controls, the N. Sane Trilogy deserves a 9.

The game doesn't use much HDD space only around 20 GB or less and the game is cheap, too cheap I would say, it only costs 40 dollars! But it's not perfect, the lack of extra content is bad with only an extra playable character and 2 levels, 1 removed level from Crash 1 and 1 brand new one, now the biggest problem of this game, the bugs it has a lot of bugs, ok it's not Fortnite but still there are a lot of those and many haven't been fixed yet. After all of this I can say that Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy is a fantastic game. Expand

    The Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy is a remake of the 3 Crash Bandicoot games released on the original Playstation. These titles were so much popular that Crash Bandicoot became Playstation's de facto mascot in the mid-to-late 90s.

    Developers from Vicarious Visions have remade all graphics from the ground up, and the results are mostly fantastic. I say mostly, because Crash Bandicoot's new design deviates a bit from the original (I think it's become more kid-friendly than I'd like it to be, the original was targeting teenagers and young adults), but it still works. My only complaint is that the game runs at just 30 fps. I played the N. Sane Trilogy on PS5, unfortunately there is no next gen patch to unlock frame rate, and the comparisons between this and Astro's Playroom favor the latter in terms of fluidity and responsiveness.

    Crash Bandicoot has always been a linear 3D platformer with no exploration around the map, unlike its contemporary Super Mario 64. Crash Bandicoot games were never the best or most imaginative in the platformer genre, but Crash was the coolest character during Playstation's heyday in the 90s.

    This collection is more of a nostalgia throwback for those that were around when Crash Bandicoot was a worldwide pop culture phaenomenon, than a title that will appeal to modern audiences. But in any case I'd suggest everyone start with the last game and proceed backwards to the first one. Crash Bandicoot 3 is mainstream, it's almost devoid of difficulty and no one will have issues beating the game to the last boss with 10-20 spare lives. The first Crash Bandicoot game on the other hand is a notoriously hardcore platformer, too difficult even for the standards of its era. Crash Bandicoot 2 holds a middle ground between the other two games, it's both challenging and accessible, although it's closer to the third game in terms of overall difficulty.

    It was fun to go back to the Crash Bandicoot games (I played all 3 games many years ago). I'll also try the new Crash Bandicoot 4 that seems like fun.

    Crash Bandicoot N. Same Trilogy is a great blast from the blast. While it might not be as inventive as a modern platformer, these games are still as good as they used to be. Crash 2: Cortex Strikes Back is the highlight, with the other two games also being quite fun. This is a must play for all Crash fans and anyone looking to play a PlayStation classic.

    En cuanto a jugabilidad la verdad no encontre problema con ello, de hecho esta está muy bien desarrollada y mejoro varios ámbitos y defectos que el original padecía y lo digo en especial por el 1er titulo ya que Crash de vez en cuando se me hacia algo impreciso y conseguir el 100% era un infierno, en cambio este cambio todos esos aspectos que hacían al 1er titulo la oveja negra de la trilogía, mi único detalle son los vehículos en Warped sobretodo en lancha de Coco, esta se da un ligero patinaje mas largo y abierto que en el juego original, lo que provoco que el nivel Hot Coco fuera un infierno y varios vehiculos mas en Warped se sienten mas pesados que en su versión original, y la música bueno ahí tu decides si te gusta mas la versión clásica o la remaster, por mi parte hay unos que me gustan tanto del clásico como de este, de ahí en fuera es un titulo que trajo nuevamente esos momentos de la niñes y lo recomiendo bastante si buscas un desafió, también vi notas bajas debido a que no trae CTR pero ese llego después, ademas el titulo dice "TRILOGÍA" de 3 wey!

These games are definitely fun just like I remember when I was a kid what I don’t remember though is the frustration, I’ve never once raged before at a Crash Bandicoot game but there were plenty of times were I just wanted to throw my controller at the screen especially during the time trials for those damn platinum relics. I’ve always felt that the original Crash trilogy just got better with every new title so of course I had to start with Warped and work my way back to the first game. Graphically of course the games look amazing they’re easily the best looking games in the Crash franchise without a doubt. There isn’t much additional content here some new things exclusive to this collection are being able to play as Coco for the majority of levels in all three games and the first two games were given their own time trials which is something I could have done with or without. Even with the frustration these games are still mostly fun and I know it’s just my own skills as a player that made getting through some of the levels in these titles so difficult it has been well over a decade since I last played the original games after all.
