    It is way to easy to beat. and nothing that cool or new to it. I like crash 2 the most.

    Amazing game. Probably, the best platform game that has ever been there. Very funny gameplay, perfect graphics (amazing shadows, light and water effects), but bad longevity. The game can be completed in a little time. Graphics 7- (6.75);
    Plot 6+ (6.25);
    Longevity 6;
    Gameplay 7-;

    OVERALL: 6 + ½ (6.5 out of 10)

    Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped Remastered
    Hit and miss.
    Warped is a bit of a mess... it adds a bunch of great things to the crash bandicoot series… but adds a bunch of questionable things and doesn’t do enough of the great stuff This game follows the same formula as the other 2 games, collect fruit, don’t die And story wise you’re dealing with great uka uka, and your aku aku friend knows    Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped Remastered
    Hit and miss.
    Warped is a bit of a mess... it adds a bunch of great things to the crash bandicoot series… but adds a bunch of questionable things and doesn’t do enough of the great stuff
    This game follows the same formula as the other 2 games, collect fruit, don’t die
    And story wise you’re dealing with great uka uka, and your aku aku friend knows exactly who this fool is
    and like in crash 2 you set out to gather 25 crystals and take out every games boss along the way…
    Crash 3s level design is a step up from crash 2, especially when it comes to the remastered version of these games…
    crash 2 felt like just a continuation of the original crash in the collection while warped stands out as its own thing… easily the best looking game in the trilogy
    this is also the shortest game in the trilogy only taking me 4 and a half hours to complete…
    This is also the easiest game in the trilogy as I didn’t feel the need to grind once.. it feels very modern because of this…
    added to this game to make it even easier are special moves you get once you defeat a boss…
    these moves include the ability to double jump and a gun to kill enemies long range which really make the final stretch of the game a breeze…
    The hardest part of this game is actually its bosses…
    They’re tough from the start... they aren’t a walk in the park break from the game like the other 2 crash games... these bosses keep you on your toes as you’re juggling different items on screen with your eyes trying not to take damage..
    And while the bosses are the hardest part, they aren’t the most frustrating part…
    that award goes to the hog riding races…
    these levels are not fun at all... and require you to get a perfect run in order to be rewarded your crystal…
    and this along with other gimmicks is where I feel crash 3 went wrong…
    I didn’t mind the underwater sections here… and I really loved the Yoshi style 10 seconds I got in one level and would’ve loved to see more of that…
    But this game also adds jet ski levels and dog fighting levels that are just complete garbage with of course the hog riding…
    and it seems these were added in at the expense of boulder dashes as they’re gone from the game aside from 2 moments in the platforming levels where you get a little taste…
    You’re also having a back and forth playing as coco bandicoot here as well..
    She takes your place in the animal riding sections as she travels along the great wall on an adorable tiger…
    I had a lot of fun with crash 3 most of the time…
    without the crappy vehicle levels, and more of the baby dyno riding, crash 3 had potential to be my favorite game in the series...
    but these vehicles are bad enough to bring this game down to being the weakest in the n sane trilogy...
    I give Crash Bandicoot 3 Warped Remastered

    CRASH BANDICOOT 3 biggest problem is too many mini games and they are not that good . The new abilities feel more like a side grade Instead of upgrades so, it get in the way of the platforming

    Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped in many ways, is a massive let down. While Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back fixed most of flaws of the original game, Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped decided to add new problems. What few areas this game improves over Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back are not enough to save this game.

    I'd advise you skip this game entirely and simply play Crash Bandicoot    Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped in many ways, is a massive let down.

    Banjo Kazooie is the best 3D Platformers of the 90s
    Not this I’m sorry I tried but in the end the bear and bird win 100%
    This is a very meh game the story is ok the gameplay is some what fun I guess, not as fun as say Super Mario 64 or even some parts of DK64. The level design is pretty basic run through, jump over obstacles With a pinch of hey this is cool let’s throw in some poorly    Banjo Kazooie is the best 3D Platformers of the 90s

    With a pinch of hey this is cool let’s throw in some poorly designed water riding levels or some levels where you are riding a motorcycle and hopefully people like it type levels.
    Overall this game is pretty meh that gets to many good reviews from people with alot of nostalgia.

    Easily the best Crash game yet and possibly the greatest platforming title on the PSX yet. Although not as long as the previous games it provides the most bang for the buck!

    A wonderfully presented game that truly goes beyond anything you are likely to find in this genre for any system. The sheer brilliance in the level designs and gameplay are sure to keep you coming back for more.

    A drop-dead gorgeous game. The textures are impeccable, the animation's top-notch, and the special effects kick some serious booty.
