    I grew up with the first 3 games and I was waiting Crash's comeback for years.. This game is the perfect example for how a "remaster" should be..

    If you liked the PS1 version of this 3-in-1 Crash B. than you will love the remastered version. The pure simple platforming with collecting stuff, really calls for your inner child in you. The music is like the visuals in the game, bright and fun. If you are a good parent then buy this game for your kid/s. Memory for life.

    Creo que es la mejor forma de hacer un Remake, 3 juegos, parece estar hecho desde cero, de por sí, me parece el mejor juego de plataformas, y el apartado gráfico es lindísimo. Desde mi punto de vista es el mejor plataformas de ps4

    No other game brought my inner child out more than this. Want a good laugh, just play this and enjoy. The fail animations make up for actually failing.

    I was very sceptical at the beginning but the remake is very solid and quickly reminded my of the beautiful childhood memories. Well done!

    This game marks a welcome return for the beloved series and sets a great example for other lost platformer titles to make their great return. That is of course unless we’re talking about sonic

    Pra você, fã de crash tanto quanto eu, que já joguei todos os jogos da franquia, posso te dizer que esse é top 5 dos melhores jogos da franquia FÁCIL, jogo maravilhoso, e o jogo tem seu típico toque de dificuldade que nem nos originais, simplesmente INCRÍVEL

    Game is super fun. Minus the small changes to the game that made it a bit more difficult the game is perfect for some nostalgia fun. Great for crash fans and fans of playstation 1 and 2 era games

    Three great games that capture the spirit of PS1. Very beautiful yet very challenging games, especially first one is quite hard.

    After "Crash: Mind over Mutant" in 2008, the once-iconic "Crash Bandicoot" series had proven to hardcore fans that it had lost its way, and was no longer the wonderful, charming, clever platformer series that it was in the mid-to-late 90s. Noticing that fans were growing tired of the beat 'em up style of the "Titans" series, Radical Entertainment was now tasked with making "Crash Landed," a game that would take Crash back to his roots (and take away the dreaded tattoos!), but due to some huge layoffs to the studio, the project was quietly cancelled, and years passed with no new "Crash Bandicoot" game.
    There were several moments of speculation, from the Vicarious Visions Facebook picture with the "Crash Bandicoot" poster, to the PlayStation 4 Launch Easter Egg hinting that Sony had bought back Crash, to Shawn Layden's Crash Bandicoot T-shirt at the PlayStation Experience, and fans desperately clung to whatever information they could in regards to a new "Crash Bandicoot" game. Well, the fandom rejoiced when "Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy" was revealed, showcasing the original trilogy remastered from the ground up and looking incredibly faithful to their early counterparts. And fortunately, when the collection released, it was great!
    There is so much love in this "Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy" collection. Each game has been lovingly re-crafted from scratch, and the brand-new graphics are bright, colorful, and all-around gorgeous. Furthermore, Vicarious Visions went to great lengths to make sure each game remained faithful to the original versions, and they succeeded. In fact, for the most part, it feels like the games haven't aged a day, and they all still play pretty wonderfully. And while there aren't any real inherent "fixes" to some of my problems with the first two games (the trial-and-error gameplay and the uninspired bosses), they still play very well and remain extremely enjoyable.
    The only real gaping problem with the collection that holds it back for me is the loading times. Each game is absolutely STUFFED with quite a few load screens, to the point where they can get a bit tedious to sit through. I'm glad they kept things faithful, and I understand that having a more powerful system that allows for more detailed maps and bigger disc storage might cause the long load times, but it can get annoying when the remaster has longer load times than the original games (granted, I've heard the load times are faster on the PS4 Pro, but as someone that's had the same PS4 since Day One of the console's launch, I can't exactly test that).
    Even so, the "Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy" is a wonderful, extremely faithful creation of some really great PlayStation platformers, and if you love "Crash Bandicoot," you should definitely pick up this collection, even if you already own the originals. I'm sure you'll have a great time with it.

    This is the way remakes should be made. Well done. My only gripe is some of the music could have been more punctual like the original but not bad at all.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If you're a Crash Bandicoot fan, you owe it to yourself to experience the trilogy with amazing graphics. You're basically playing your childhood in high definition and its still the same fun factor as when we first played them as kids/young adults.
    Most of the mechanics are exactly the same, but the jumping is slightly different and will take getting used to if you played the original versions recently.

    Vicarious Visions have done an amazing job considering how hard it is to carry a 90's platformer into 2017.

    The only thing keeping it from a 10 was a few bugs across all 3 games but I can promise you that its nothing horrible to deter you.

    If you're experienced at these types of games, you will power through them and you cant help it.
    I just completed all 3 games in their entirety (platinum trophies) and I enjoyed every minute so much, that I am actually sad its over. I even tried stretching it out by not playing for a week but I still got through it very quickly.

    Longevity wise from an experienced player perspective, each game on average will take about 10-15 hours to complete 100% (with platinum trophies). Warped is the easiest out of the 3 games and Crash 1 is the hardest so that one will add a few hours onto it. You will spend most of your time completing the time trials. Collecting the gems and crystals combined will take about 3-5 hours per game. If you are a casual player or new to these games, don't worry. It will probably take 60+ hours to beat all 3.

    I really hope this is not the last we see of Crash because I really want more. Even some appropriate add-ons to the trilogy would be amazing. Bring on CTR and Crash Bash!    … Expand

    Amazing and great recreation of a classic. Everything is perfect about this game; it stays true to its roots and pumps up the difficulty BIGLY. This is a remake, not a remaster. 1440p (on PS4 Pro).

    Only thing I wish that it was 60 FPS.

    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!

    Crash Bandicoot N-Sane Trilogy is insanely fun, and incredibly painful to play. It brings challenge back to the platforming genre.

    Vicarious Visions have done a superb job here of lovingly remastering the PS1 Crash Bandicoot classics. It's easy to see that a great amount of care has gone into the collection. While I'm not sure how newcomers to the franchise will respond, I'm confident that Crash Bandicoot fans will be overjoyed with this remaster and become addicted to collecting those gems all over again.

    Awesome remaster of an epic trilogy! Look very good, finally a modern save system for crash 1. Overall, they stay true to the originals games. My only complain would be that they did changed the control to be the same on all 3 games, so It's can lead to some frustrating moments with the control being weird . Get this game if you like platformers, even if you p^layed them to death before!

    A near perfect replica of a game adored by many. Amazing visuals, sound, music, and plenty of content for a price that no one can deny. I'm am so happy with this game and I recommend it to anyone that has played the crash games before.

    The textures are really refreshing and the soundtrack nostalgic.

    I hope they make remake other classic platformers like Spyro and Medievil. With the popularity and success of the Crash series remake, I'm pretty sure this will happen in the very near future.

    Quality game with lots of replay value. Three games for the price of one and each comes with it's own trophies (If you trophy hunt) Lots of content here, I've barely played anything else since this came out. Highly recommended.
