    Excellent, fun arcade adventure. perfect for the system, and still fun today. I have absolutely no issues with this game, and through its simplicity you can see its genius. Simple levels and easy controls, along with traditional crash wackiness made the game for me.

    Essentially one of the funnest platformers on the PS1 -- strike that, it's one of the funnest games on the PS1. Pros: Rich, colorful, and bizarre characters and level design; variety of gameplay; some of the slickest controls in a PS1 game ever. Cons: A little bit of "trial and error" here and there; easy boss bottles; limited level design limits replay value.

    After playing this game for countless hours as a kid, I decided to buy this game on my PS3, best decision I've ever made. Everything about this game is fun, the controls are simple but hard to master and the graphics still look as crisp as I remember them. Thank god for Crash Bandicoot.

    One of the best 3D platformers, that I've played. The story is good (and characters even better), gameplay is superb, and music is suitable for every level. A classic, must-have game.

Created by Naughty Dog (who developed the previous 2 instalments), Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped takes you to a whole new world. If you've played Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back, then you will you find this game is pretty much the same but there are some new features, these include Coco (Crash's sister) becoming a playable character as well as some new moves which you learn as progress further into the game. The game starts off with Crash in a time twister chamber with five different warp chambers, each have five different levels. Some are basic running around and spinning your way through enemies, whilst avoiding bottomless pits, TNT and nitro crates. Other levels require you to ride vehicles like a motorbike, Jet Ski or biplane as well as scuba diving in the deep oceans, or riding a tiger along the Great Wall of China. Each level has a crystal, collect five of these to open up the boss portal. Each boss you defeat gains you a new power and unlocks the gate to the next chamber. These powers can help you to tackle some of the really difficult levels later in the game. There are gems (including five coloured ones) to collect as well which can be obtained by destroying all of the crates or searching in hidden areas. Relics can be awarded as well, these consist of three different colours sapphire, gold and platinum. Sapphires are easy to win, but gold means you are one speedy bandicoot and platinum are only achieved by those who are true masters. Graphically the game has improved over its predecessor and one of the really impressive effects is the water levels, where you can see great reflective waves splashing up and down. According to the developers you can see polygons from a bigger distance than before which creates a unique background. In the future levels for example you can see all buildings and pistons around you, it feels like you are trapped in the middle of a giant city. The music and sound effects are brilliant and each one fits perfectly with each level. Overall great story, great gameplay and great humour make this a fantastic game. Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped is, in my opinion one of the best platform games of 1998.… Expand

    Easily one of the best titles on the PS one to date. Its seemingly flawless graphics and colorful visuals, variety of gameplay and level design, and humor make it one of the most outstandingly fresh games from the 90s.

    The pinnacle of the Crash Bandicoot series, and my favourite PS1 game. Linear as linear can be, but utterly addictive in its varied dimensions, varied gameplay and spot-on humour. A classic game that still holds up well today.

Character design is great and full of personality and each level shines in its own light. Every area you explore is very characterized, when I was a kid I was blown away by the amazing dinosaur levels. For the time, graphic was superb, and each background music was stuck in my head. Developers tried to make the game less repetitive with different gameplay styles: I don't want to spoil it for you but sometimes you use veihcles. Since the premise of the plot is time travel, different time zones use different settings, designing levels in a creative way. In the end this game is a must-play from the past, it''s very cheap on the psn now so give it a try.… Expand

    After the excellent Crash Bandicoot and Crash Bandicoot: 2: Cortex Strikes Back, it comes as no surprise that the next instalment in Naughty Dog's flagship platformer series is such an outstanding game. And pretty damn hard one at that - achieving 100% completion is by no means an easy task. Fans of collecting goodies and discovering secrets should be particularly pleased with this game.

And the first two games in the series, "Crash Bandicoot" and "Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back," despite some flaws, were very fun and enjoyable platformers. But "Crash Bandicoot: Warped," the third entry in the franchise, sees the much-loved PlayStation series at its absolute finest.
    Every aspect of "Crash Bandicoot: Warped" has been fine-tuned and polished to perfection to make this the best entry in the franchise. Much like the first two games, the visuals and music remain spot-on, but it's the gameplay where this one truly shines. Where the first two games would suffer from different problems, such as lack of variation, poor boss fights, and general trial-and-error gameplay that led to some instances of "fake difficulty," this game suffers from none of those. The game throws a number of different styles at you, and makes them all work wonderfully. The levels feel lengthy, fun and well-designed, and the boss battles, one of my biggest problems with earlier "Crash Bandicoot" games, actually feel more enticing and interesting this time around. What's better, the game doesn't suffer from the same trial-and-error issues that plagued the first two games: where "Crash Bandicoot" and "Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back" would often have you die due to some kind of strange, impassable, and often cheap aspect of the gameplay, that won't happen this time. This actually feels like the first "Crash Bandicoot" game that I've played where all of my errors, deaths, and fails were legitimately my fault, and not the error of the game's development.
    It's plain to see, "Crash Bandicoot: Warped" is easily the best of the "Crash Bandicoot" games, and if you haven't played this gem, do yourself a favor!

    Whoever dectracted points for a bad story is an idiot, because we all know Crash Bandicoot games aren't about the story. A great game and I still play it today on my PS1. Took a mark off for a few minor quips, like minimal control issues when swimming and bit of an unfair difficulty spike in the fifth warp room. Otherwise a great game.

    Not only is this game for children but also for adults with its difficulty curve starting from the very easy crystal collection to the rising in difficulty gem collection up to the insanely hard Platinum Relic time trial runs, even a veteran of this game/gamer will have difficulty getting every Gem and Relic but it is in no means impossible.

    The games mechanics are very solid and a brilliant improvement from its predecessors. There are some jumping techniques they force you to work out on your own or with parts of the more advance levels which you need to work this out to progress but these come with common sense or will be picked up on as you play through the game.

    The character design is amazing for the young mind due to it being so imaginative but also relatable to real life animals or their funny names eg. Dr N.Gin. This is also helped by the interactivity between the player and these characters which happens during the player entering a new warp zone/level for the first time bringing nice touch of immersion.    … Expand

    This game is a fun platformer with excellent levels, good controls and fun Bosses - however be warned that in the later part of the game you will need to perfect any power-ups otherwise you will be punished. And there is a strong replayablilty factor to this game to grab everything in every level to get the illusive 105% save file.

    It's a decent platform. The new additions and features make it a tad better than the previous two entries. The warp room and level structure has improved vastly. The original Crash Bandicoot is still more memorable to me with the island setting, however, Crash 3 goes to show it has come a long way since then.

    Stand aside, Mario. Crash Bandicoot remains one of my personal favorite IPs as he was literally brought up from nothing and is remembered as a fine platformer, with this game to show for it.

Despite these minor trifles, this game perfects previous installments in its control, level design, visuals, soundtrack, action-packed and cartoony gameplay, and even adding a bit more with the anger-inducing yet addictive time-trail mode. This is action-platforming at some of its finest.… Expand

    Before Naughty Dog made compelling story based games, they made awesome platformers like Crash Bandicoot! It's hard to believe this is even made by the same studio sense it's so kid-friendly.

    The best Crash game out of the original three games on the PS1. The controls are so tight and responsive, the levels are incredibly well designed and memorable and adding the special power ups to this game was a brilliant edition

    It is hard to follow up with good sequels; however, this was not the case with Crash Bandicoot 3. Everything from part 1 and 2 are here but with extra touches that improved the overall quality of the gameplay. The game was varied and bosses were challenging. Crash Bandicoot Warped was very fun to play and had a high reply value

    Crash Bandicoot Warped is a 3D platformer done right. The levels are very well designed, the bosses are challenging and fun, there is loads of replay ability, and the characters are quirky and memorable. The only thing I didn't like we're the water levels, but other than that, this is easily one of the best games on the PS1.

    The conclusion to the Crash Bandicoot trilogy, this title is certainly the most impressive game ever released on the PlayStation One. Sure, it might not be as hard of a challenge to complete this game as it was two decades ago, but there isn't any other game on that system that could ever get close in ranking to this masterpiece.

    This is one fantastic game! My nostalgia might be clouding my judgement a little bit, but this game is still very fun. Great levels for the most part and great gameplay. The story is kind of there, but that doesn't matter as much for a game if the rest of the game is good. Technically, the only replay value is the Time Trial, but I love coming back to this game a lot. It's worth playing a lot.

    Crash Bandicoot 3 is a fun, beautiful platformer held back by too many annoying gimmick levels. The main platformer levels are the real stars of the show here, and it helps that those let you use the upgrades you get from beating the bosses, unlike the boring flight, jetski, and underwater levels.

This game, even nowadays, still feels the most fresh from the original trilogy and is technically and controll-wise the best. Naughty Dog expanded upon previous entries in many ways. We find out about Aku Aku's evil twin brother Uka Uka who was set free and become the main antagonist alongside Dr. Neo Cortex. Once again your main goal is to collect crystals and gems which were retrieved with a help of Dr. N. Tropy's time travel machine. During your journey you beat levels throughout whole history (Ancient Egypt, Great Wall of China, Medieval themed levels, etc.) and eventually make it to the future. After completing every level in certain warp room, you are able to take its boss on, these battles are fun, you battle Crash' old foes, but you also encounter some new faces. New playable character was added, Coco, Crash' sister, whose role is just minor and you controll her only in her specified levels. Additionally, two major things were included, new obtainable skills and mainly, time relics. Skills are acquired after defeating boss and are permanent, double jump and longer spin are both really useful, especially combined which is required in certain levels. Final ability called Crash Dash is highly useful when going for time relics which is simply collectible achieved by speedruning level and metting its target time. This collectible pushes replay value significantly higher and you find yourself attempting levels again and again for the best time.… Expand

Graphically, it looks great considering the hardware of the PS1 and the soundtrack is one of my all time favorites. The additional powers you gain from boss fights are blended well into the game play and don't feel tacked on. Some levels (Bug Lite for example) can be a little unforgiving and the ride levels (Deep Trouble, Orange Asphalt and Makin' Waves for example) do feel a little clunky, and keeping the levels mostly within the same few themes (Egypt, Middle East, Medieval) does lead to some same feeling levels but overall, these are minor critiques and don't take away from this all time gem of a platformer.… Expand
