    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
    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.

Ultimately, the game winds up being an unpleasant nostalgia trip that nobody should pack their bags for."

    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

    It’s sad, but the collision box of Crash seems to break the entire game.

    This is less of an issue on the third game, but very infuriating in the first one.

    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.

    Back when I was a kid, I managed to achieve acquiring every single gem, crystal and platinum ankh in the second and third games, and when trying to do the same today, I marvel at the patience I must have had, because I had forgotten just how RIDICULOUSLY unfair the series was.

    Toe barely over a cliff edge?
    You fall and die.
    Didn't jump far enough?
    You die.
    Jumped too far?
    You die.
    Barely touch the edge of an enemy?
    You die.
    Run past one enemy only for another one to suddenly surprise you over the hill because of the horrendous camera angles?
    You die.
    Jump too soon?
    You die.
    Jump too late?
    You die.
    Spot an enemy on the screen as your sliding across a patch of ice, but you can't slow down in time?
    You die.
    All your lives are gone. Game over.

    And yet, somehow, Crash Bandicoot is still less forgiving than Dark Souls ever was. Gathering lives is a pain due to how many times you fall into pits. Gathering Aku masks is pointless for the same reason. Most of your deaths are due to falls, and this was always true in Crash Bandicoot games. When re-releasing the series, Vicarious Visions did nothing to update this, I imagine because they wanted to stay true to the original game's "spirit."

    Well, the spirit of Crash is definitely there, and for that I'm grateful... but I'm also this close to chucking my controller across the room whenever I play these. I remember them being annoyingly hard, but not this harsh.

    Still, a lot of the pain is worth reliving some of these games. The visuals are fantastic, and I never thought I'd see Crash updated to this level. And I'd be remiss if I didn't say I had a smile on my face when remembering myself as a kid, sitting on the floor with a Playstation controller in my hand and playing the hell out of these.

    Are they as fun as I remember? Eh... sadly, no. They're a LOT more painful than I recall them being, and I don't know if that's intended or not. Do they reignite my love for old Playstation games? Absolutely.

    Still... if you haven't played these games in the past, I actually wouldn't recommend them. They're at times insufferable and anger-inducing. Few games are as nonsensical as the Crash series nowadays, and there's a very good reason for that. Trial and error is really not any fun.

    I think overall this is a great trilogy for platformers fans ! I think however that you should skip the first game completely and only focus on crash 2 and crash warped. The first game is too clunky and outdated...but Crash 2 and Crash 3 are good remasters in my opinion. I completed the trilogy in around 17 hours by focusing on the main mission.

    Good game, but even as a remake, you can feel it's age. The controls and gameplay feels sluggish sometimes and there are several hitbox and depth problems. Nonetheless, it's a good game with funny characters, great visuals as a remake and the platforming - although I said, aged - isn't bad. But it's challenging.. So if you don't like hard games, you won't have a good time with this.

    This game is a better version of the originals in just about every other realm, which is what, sound and graphics? Any team of developers could've done that to a game that already exists and sold millions. But despite having a perfectly simple task to accomplish for an easy cash-in, they just couldn't help but tweak a linear platformer to have the physics of a non-linear platformer, essentially cutting Crash's jump short every time you try to control the direction he's going in mid-air (which is a HUGE difference in levels like Slippery Climb, one of the hardest levels from the first game). This one decision that they didn't have to make makes it's very apparent that they couldn't just let something perfect stay perfect because they felt the need to prove themselves in a context that was completely unnecessary; It's not like this choice made anyone trust the developers more. It's just an absolutely silly, non-sensical decision that emphasizes the jarring contrast between cartoonish-ness and realism.

    For anyone who hasn't played the originals: I can see why you wouldn't understand my complaint if you haven't played them, but the difference is definitely noticeable, and consistently leads to the scenario of "well, I guess the game didn't like me doing that, so let's just slide down the edge of this platform." Trial and error is supposed to be fun in games (no, it's not simply too hard; yes, I got the Plat trophies), but the style of Crash's gameplay regarding level design requires mid-air finagling; That was always a central gameplay mechanic. Here it's about tuning into a nuance that bares faulty indication of someone's mastery, as the game wasn't originally designed to accommodate it.

    Yes, you're supposed to be able to slide under an elevated Nitro crate from next to it without blowing up. There are areas where you specifically have to do that. And that's not even the jump physics, it's just expanding the character's hit detection.

    I still recommend the original games over this. Though perhaps the nostalgia of my imagination makes the old graphics still seem engaging, they truly do feel like finely tuned adventures. And credit where credit is due for the original developers making such a pivotal 3D platformer.

    I don't mean to dissuade anyone from trying this, I just consider level design and gameplay correlation to be THE most important aspect of a game, just ahead of story. This took an L on that front. Still could be fun for the kids, and Warped seems to still work similarly to the original somehow.

    Graphics look as they are expected to look -- they are great but nothing exceptional
    Gameplay mostly merged from the original trilogy but some features have been removed and quantum masks have been added as a substitution.
    Music doesn't make my ears bleed but I hardly ever noticed when I played it myself. When I watched someone play, I paid attention to it, and it was good enough.
    The game is pretty fun to play, the player is being introduced to new mechanics almost to the very end of the game with the final two worlds serving as an exam for what the player should have learned to that point.
    The story is there and it is okay, though I don't see anyone really paying attention to it.
    Timelines are pretty great and refreshing to play, though I didn't find myself engaged enough with them.
    The game's pretty difficult if you are for all the boxes, I would say, somewhere around Crash 2.
    Vehicles are one of my main complaints: they don't feel right to control, a visual clue of which boxes you are going to hit doesn't always correspond to reality, controls are pretty rigid at some points, and insanely loose at others.
    If you are for 100% or 106% completion, these vehicle levels are going to be your bane. As you have to gather all the boxes without dying and there is no way to backtrack boxes in the vehicle parts. Also, platinum relics seem to be pretty tight compared to golden ones. So for the completionist, this one can be a significant challenge.
    Now, let's make some comparisons with previous games. First of all, this one really likes to put a small number of boxes somewhere hidden from sight so unless you sniff around every corner you might end up missing one or two boxes very often. In the original ones there very little amounts of such levels and they were a great source of annoyance. This game has such a thing implemented in almost every level.
    There are no death routes anymore, flashback tapes are here instead, which are practically some jumping gauntlets. Their difficulty curve is non-existent -- one level can be a breeze and the other will make you want to commit suicide for the time being.
    There are no time gems that were in 3rd one neither their equivalents, which make level completion feel a tiny bit less rewarding. Having 6 clear gems per level feel overwhelming and some of them are almost always a completion reward (as you are unlikely to miss more than 60% wumpa fruits). This also spoils you the requirements for all clear gems (except for the hidden one, but it is mostly somewhere behind the wall). So there is no C2&3 charm of finding some secret parts of a level where you face some serious challenge and get the gem as a reward (there are some levels like this in C4 but far rarer).
    C2&3 used a formula of several level ideas like "underwater level", "race level", "egypt level", "ruins level", etc then developed them as harder versions of initial levels, usually, they had some "extra hard" version which gave the player extra feeling of progress. C4 instead uses several worlds, each level doesn't look alike any other decoration-wise, but it is not as distinct as it used to be in C3, so you feel like you have been playing 2 or 3 levels at best just with different decorations for the entirety of the game.
    Classic C2&3 abilities are now either removed, given initially, or provided with masks to some extent. This, again, weakens the sense of progression as finishing world now doesn't reward the play in any way. One may say that masks are unlocked gradually, but you don't get to use them anytime you want, only at given sections. This gives the gameplay less depth than in C2&3 for instance.
    Color gems don't seem to be something they used to be in C2&3: now they are more of some "do something extremely specific " puzzles like a blue gem in C2. They are no longer a reward for death routes for instance nor lying at the end of the secret levels, which, as far as I know, do not exist anymore.
    This game feels like it is a sequel to Crash 1 and not the other part of the trilogy. For me, C1 was the worst in the trilogy, and this game reminds me of it occasionally. Personally, I've enjoyed Crash 3 more than this one, even completed it. I'm not sure if I'm going 106% there, given the vehicle's quality and the idea of sniffing around every corner.

    So, if you haven't played anything for the franchise, then it is going to be a good game.
    If you wish to check out the best Crash game -- start with the original trilogy, 3rd game. For a crash fan, this one is alright, I guess.

    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!
    Un titulo recomendable para revivir clasicos

    In generale: bel gioco.
    Il rapporto qualità/prezzo è ottimo: 3 giochi come questi a 40€ sono quasi regalati. A livello tecnico è un po'una ciofeca, ha infatti molti bug. Le musiche sono fantastiche e il design dei vari personaggi è molto fedele all'originale.
    Tutto sommato è un gran gioco che può fare conoscere Crash Bandicoot anche alle nuove generazioni

    Dream remake. The authors of the remake have kept ALMOST all the best and got rid of most of the flaws of the original (goodbye, terrible save system from the first game!) Without spoiling the atmosphere of the original. A cult game in all its modern glory, except that it has slightly lost its already small soulfulness.

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.

    It is a really funny and also a hard jump’n run game. But that was the originals also. The remaster looks really nice. But the 30 FPS on PS4 Pro is something which I can’t believe, that is just poor and lazy for this kind of game generation.

    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.

    While the original was brutal but precise, this remake is as well brutally difficult but also, surprisingly, far less precise. Its problematic to calculate where and when to make next jump. Driving sections in Crash 2 and 3 are sluggish and a chore to navigate, although platforming is little bit better than in Crash 1. It does get points for its charm and nostalgia but it has problems galore.

    We also got the unreleased Stormy Ascent which is a very challenging platform level and a new Future Tense levels that is tons of fun, has some innovate gameplay (for Crash NST) and finally utilizes all the power ups from the third game.

    Crash is a log of wood, it struggles to jump, it slips, it doesn't read the game inputs well and in addition there are the disastrous hitboxes that make you die if you don't hit an enemy perfectly in the center.

    This trilogy wasn't that great to me and the reason why is because it doesn't play as easily as the original games on the Ps1.

    These games are way harder than they were before aswell. I am not sure why but if you play them on Ps1 and then play this trilogy there is a huge difference in difficulty. I even tested this out to see if it was just me having bad memory.
