    There was no doubt in my mind as soon as I head this was coming out that I was going to buy a PS4, in fact this game and the Wipeout Omega Collection was the only reason I did buy one. Now don't get this wrong this is a great game and it's great to be able to play these 3 classic games in HD and have all the lovely graphics, but I have to say I am disappointed that it only runs at 30fps, IThere was no doubt in my mind as soon as I head this was coming out that I was going to buy a PS4, in fact this game and the Wipeout Omega Collection was the only reason I did buy one.

It's just laziness on the part of the developers, there are far too many games on the PS4 that should run at 60fps that don't and it's a real shame.… Expand

    There is stuff in here for gamers of all ages. The new intro isn't as good as the originals; but, the "Remaster Machine" during the Vicarious Visions portion is pretty funny when Crash goes through it. The voice is nowhere near as good as the originals though.
    The gameplay is well preserved and the graphics are like I remember them looking through my nostalgia goggles.

    The gameplay is well preserved and the graphics are like I remember them looking through my nostalgia goggles.
    The install size is 30GB, which is N Sanely high in my opinion; but, the first game is ready to play in less than 2 minutes and the other two games where installed by the time I wanted to switch--although, I wish Warped was first to install.
    It seems slightly harder to get jumps lined up (I was playing the original Warped on my PS3 at the time I heard about this remaster (I think it might be the slightly altered camera angles that throw me off)).
    The load times are obnoxious, though! Intro loading to game select, loading the game that you select, loading out of the hub world, loading into the level that you select, loading back into the hub world when done, loading out of the game back to the game select menu to switch games, loading into the game that you want to switch to, ect...seriously.
    It's kind of cool that you can play as Coco on any mission; but, it doesn't let Crash play Coco's missions (like the Tiger riding and Jet Ski missions in Warped).
    Fun and occasionally frustrating N Tertainment for the whole family.    … Expand

    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.

    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.

    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!

    These games are all masterpieces, what more is there to say? The three first games, developed by Naughty Dog, now remastered/remade for a new generation.

I know I may be a bit blinded by nostalgia, but these games are better than all other 3D platformer released the last years (Ratchet, Yooka Laylee, Mario 3D World), even though they are over 20 years old.

    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.    … Expand

    One of the most incredible remaster ever made. Is the old crash gameplay, with a modern look and an awesome soundtrack recreated. Great for nostalgia and new player who never had the opportunity to player the original ones. Good work Vicarious Visions!

    How does this push the nostalgia button so perfectly? After all, the original games have been available to download on PS3, Vita and even PSP for ages.

    Pure bliss.
    That's what it's like playing my entire childhood(excluding spyro) once again.
    The sounds, the familiar levels and much beloved character just satisfied every gaming need I have had this year. Bliss was soon replaced with searing agony and immense frustration as I failed over and over again. I have hemorrhoids and a hoarse voice now. I also relapsed and am now once again    Pure bliss.

    Poder volver a jugar al crash despues de tantos años con graficos de ultima generacion es algo que muchos estaban pidiendo desde hace tiempo y hoy se hace realidad. Aunque es divertido para todos creo que los que mas van a disfrutar el juego son los que lo hayan jugado en la clasica PS1.

    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. It plays exactly like I remember it from 20 years ago minus the updated controls of course. Also they kept the difficulty of the games in check (at least as of now from the Day 1 version). Anyways highly recommendedCrash 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.

    Yes. One of the most successful platformer title has returned with beautiful crisp graphics and well re-designed enhanced animations. The game is completely new in terms of build but exactly same with the original Crash trilogy.

    This remaster is may be a disappointment for some players since they "completely" copied the original one into the new one. Route, layouts, almost everything    Yes.

    This remaster is may be a disappointment for some players since they "completely" copied the original one into the new one. Route, layouts, almost everything is same. This is actually not that bad, after all, Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy is a “remastered” title rather then remake. But i'd like to see some additional parts for the certain stages tho.. Yet there are still some minor additional contents are featured, such as: playing as Coco in some levels, Time Trials for previous Crash games. .

    This is a very well-mastered remaster of the original trilogy. It's a good chance for those never experienced the old fashion Crash before. Btw, the game is running at perfect 30fps which is quite good (i wish it was 60fps like Donkey Kong or Mario games, that would’ve been cool since almost all games are aiming this quality nowadays.) But well, not a big problem. The developing team tried their best to staying close to trilogy’s original form while using the new tones. All stages are kept their loyalty (even boxes are in exactly same layout..wow) This is easily one of the best-looking games of the year and the best “cartoonish” game by far. Colors are too brilliant and vivid, all sound effects and BG tunes are exactly same with their original counterparts .

    I have to applause both Sony and VV for this game, developers did a wonderful job and put a great effort on this. As an old-timer Crash fan, i highly recommending this game. Prepare yourself for dozens of hype moment. Play on.

    Pros:
    -Whole new looking-fresh game
    -Coco is playable
    - Time Trial modes for Crash 1 and 2
    -Graphics are gorgeous
    -Arranged audio and sound effects
    -Lots of nostalgia-memories

    Cons:
    - Loading times
    - Nothing is extra here, unlock nothing. So play only for fun
    -They could add original trilogy as an emulated one but it seems Vicarious Visions didn't bother with it.    … Expand

    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.

    Crash Bandicoot N Sane Trilogy stands as one of the best remasters ever brought into existence. It has it's flaws, sure, but these pale in comparison to the overall fun-factor. Anyone who gives this game below a 7 in their review is either too old to have ever played it in their childhood, or too young to fully appreciate what this pants-wearing marsupial did for the video game industry.

    TL;DR

    This game great. You buy now.    … Expand
