    I believed that I could relive my childhood again...clearly not.

    I remember being frustrated as a kid when playing the Crash games, that was expected since it was a great franchise yet you needed a lot of skill. Yet in this remaster, as the game description states, the developers decided to mess around with the slide jumping, WTF? Such a needless emphasis on a function that wasn't so important in the original. Crash cannot respond to fast button movements at all, so why make a double jump and slide motion the same action? All this does is create needless frustration and takes the genuine fun away from any of the games.

    I can't fault the graphics on Crash 2 (the one I played the most) at least, as it's more or less a spitting image of the original. I had also noticed that crash was larger in the original...more than likely to compensate for the precise movements need for the game play. Of course this isn't honoured in the remaster either.

    In the level, The real Eel, the comparison of the game play is dramatically different. One example is the two machines that float vertically. You must jump over them then they descend. In this remaster that is not a remaster but a remake, the machines are rendered way too large to make even a competent jump to safety. The rotating fan blades are far too thick and fast to dodge without needlessly losing a life.

    This is also the same for enemies that require jumping on to destroy. The spitting plants, machine octopi and spiked turtles are a prime example, and not the only ones. The area in which to jump on is way too small to adequately destroy these enemies.

    The last straw came when playing the bonus round of the Piston it Away level. You must near the end of the bonus round and spin on the exclamation mark box. Then you must take a U-Turn and bounce on a deliberately unbroken box to be able to jump over a tower of instant death Nitro boxes. Of course this crucial box does not have the bounce it needs to jump the nitro.

    I wish i could refund this game, but "unfortunately" the PSN network will not issue a refund for bad game developing. Crash Bandicoot is no longer fun; negatives outweigh the positives way too much and this is the last game that I ever download digitally. I paid £17.99 for these games (unbelievably, it's a sale price!?) and it's £17.99 too much,

    I feel cheated and poor.    … Expand

    I’m posting here because the jumping mechanics in this remake are atrociously bad. I’ve bounced off this game about 5 times and I genuinely want to like it, but there is ZERO margin for error as far as jumping goes. You have maybe a few pixels to spare when jumping between platforms. This issue is compounded by the fact that x performs a different length jump depending on how long you holdI’m posting here because the jumping mechanics in this remake are atrociously bad. I’ve bounced off this game about 5 times and I genuinely want to like it, but there is ZERO margin for error as far as jumping goes. You have maybe a few pixels to spare when jumping between platforms. This issue is compounded by the fact that x performs a different length jump depending on how long you hold it down. (or hard you hold it down?) So there’s about a 50/50 chance the controls will work, and my character will do a long jump instead of a short one. So even if I am able to correctly time/execute a difficult jump with very little room for error, I’m still going to miss half the jumps because the controls are so unresponsive. I am truly baffled to be playing a PLATFORMER game where the dev team managed to **** up JUMPING. I can’t speak to any content after 1-4 (The Great Gate) because I strongly recommend against buying this game. Spending $20 on hard drugs is a better life decision than purchasing this remake… Expand

    Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy is nothing more than a cash grab by Vicarious Visions, in a pathetic attempt by Activision, to try and make Crash Bandicoot himself relevant again, when he's been forgotten and irrelevant since the PS1 Era ended. Do not buy.

    Graphics are good but that’s it. The gameplay is awful. Terrible hit boxes. Unrealistic enemies. Crash is one of those games that should be left in the past as a fun child hood memory. This crap remake has ruined the franchise. Garbage controls makes it unplayable. Save your money and buy something else.

    To say this game is "slipshod" is probably doing it favors. Like the rest have stated - utterly garbage hitboxes, loose gameplay, and having difficulty where you actually are within the depth of the level makes this game genuinely frustrating and not fun to play.

    An otherwise excellent remake tarnished by trophies tied to time trials. Shoehorning this into the game adds nothing but frustration and ruins what could have been a compelling trip down memory lane.

    WOW what a crappy remaster. 30fps on this old game is NOT acceptable. Totally worthless, what a shame people still support this last gen trash. Next gen will be 30fps too if people don't stop supporting these horrible 30fps games.

    Two words can describe this game. Trash Bandicoot. The input system is unresponsive. The collision detection is broken. The camera angles are beyond trash.

    Have to agree to a license and privacy contract before you can play, but you can't get your money back if you decline. WOW.

    Every startup, the longest and most obnoxious unskippable company logos I have ever seen.

    All content is not on disc and you have to download from internet, meaning they sold you an incomplete product.

    The sensitivity of the controls have completely ruined this game for me. For something that used to be aimed at kids back in the day, you certainly wouldn’t recommend that they play this trilogy.

    Crash into every f*cking hole: Downgraded & Demastered Trilogy

    Enjoy the most broken hitboxes of all th time. Even worse then it was when "Rainbow Sh*t: Cheats" came out. Enjoy surgical precision, you must have to get somewhere or to kill your enemies. You'll never know if it don't kill you standing 1 meter away. Jump on that turtle, yes nice, but you're dead, you were too close.

    You'll never know if it don't kill you standing 1 meter away. Jump on that turtle, yes nice, but you're dead, you were too close. Next time. Yes now it's good, but you've jumped too far, sorry, you're dead, the turtle just turned around and touched you. Enjoy sliping to almost every f*cking hole, like the whole floor is full of oil.

    Enjoy stiff controls and late button reaction which feels like playing online FPS with high ping, where you get hit, when you're not even f*cking there and you know, you was pushing that button like maniac. Let's play a race, where you have to be surgical precise (like before) to win that crap.
    This downgraded demaster is missing microtransaction, where you would buy lives, speed boost for
    races and umbakarnas.
    The only good thing is, that you have 3 games together and you don't have to waste any more money.

    Just get emulated PSP and play the original Crash Bandicoot and you'll see the difference, just like I did.    … Expand

    Two things are game-breaking - hitboxes and slippery jumping. Enemies hit you when they're nowhere near. Even when you land on a platform, if you're anywhere near the edge you'll slip off. Originals were better.

    Crash Bandicoot returns to the generation with this nefarious remake that works at 30 fps and does not reach the 4k. A game of the 20th century does not have these resolutions is very bad. Disappointed.

    No aporta nada nuevo ni a la saga, ni a los videojuegos, ni al género, ni a la plataforma que lo recibe. Además 35€ parece un tanto desproporcionado para algo caduco que claramente se muestra como un intento de sacar dinero a los usuarios haciendo uso de la nostalgia.

    I love this game, is happy and funny, but the gameplay is broken. I understand that they wanted to keep the original experience, but come on boys, it's unacceptable a gameplay like this in 2020 (or in PS4 in short.). The game has an artificial difficulty, it's not hard because the levels defisn is hard... it's hard because the gameplay is broken, and thats so sad...

    Completely unplayable. Hitbox are weird, jumping and other moves are imprecise. This game was a waste of money and it brings no fun at all. Graphics are kinda ok, music also brings memories of old times but this is one of the worst remakes of the series i have ever played. I give 0 to warn people - it’s not worth its price, whatever it is.

    Why no 60 fps for PS5?
    When you (Activision) has the accountability for one of the greatest franchises in gaming history, and you just neglect it, you are not worthy of such a title. How hard can it be to unlock framerate on PS5? The game has unlocked framerate on Xbox and PC. Come on
