    One of the best platformers ever released and easily the best Crash yet. Every aspect of the game is better: new moves, levels, bosses, graphics, sound, and gameplay. You will have fun with this game!

This is action-platforming at some of its finest.… Expand

    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

    Honestly my favorite PS1 platformer and a game I regularly play for fun.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    Crash 3 is a fantastic sequel but I'm going to explain why this is my least favourite in trilogy.
    1. It's far too ez, the difficulty also spikes quite often in this game. Warp room 3 is actually harder than warp room 5. This is a great game for children but has the least replay ability for me due to its difficulty. 2. Too many vehicle levels.

I mean almost half the game is non-platform levels and while I do like the underwater and the pura levels the rest of the vehicle levels are poorly executed.
    3. The level design at times is very uninspired, I'm not talking about the theming I'm talking about how the actual levels play take the medieval levels, they are just boring theres nothing special about these levels they are just go from point a to point b. You can even ran on the edge of the levels avoiding the Pits and enemies.
    4. The lack of secrets in this game harms the experience for me as that was one the most exciting things to discover in the previous games. And the 2 secret levels are bs especially the dino secret.
    Anyway crash 3 did a lot of amazing things like the bosses are the best and addition of the time relics is genius but these issues I have with crash are to big to go unnoticed which is whys it's my least favourite out off the trilogy.    … Expand

    Much like with his great rival, Spyro, Crash's third game is his best. However, it's not his last great game (wrath of cortex, baby). This game managed to do something that the other Crashes couldn't: finish the game and enjoy it. This game was, undoubtedly, the epitome of the Playstation... well, at least until Year of the Dragon...

    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.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I originally did an incredibly positive review on this game, but now I think otherwise. This game is still very good, but not great as I once thought. First off, the story. After being defeated in Crash 3, Cortex crashes down to an island with a temple that holds Aku Aku's brother, Uka Uka. In the first two games, Uka Uka has been secretly giving orders to Cortex, which I find stupid. Cortex seemed like the main villain of the first two games, but this game reveals that he was a drone. Uka Uka is ticked off at Cortex for failing him once again, but he lets him go since Cortex freed him from his prison. However, Uka Uka sends out a new minion, known as Doctor Nefarious Trophy, to help Cortex this time. N Trophy is one of my favorite Crash Characters to be honest with you. Anyways, Aku Aku senses Uka Uka's presence, and Crash is on a new adventure. Anyways, we have some great graphics and an amazing soundtrack. The story, while having that Cortex flaw I mentioned earlier, is arguably the best story of the original PS1 trilogy. Sadly, the gameplay has been ruined, as there is way too many vehicle levels in this game. I said in my old review, that they added a lot of variety into the levels, but in all honesty, they blow what Crash is known for, (Platforming) away in favor of underwater levels, motorcycle races, planes, waterskiing, it's really annoying. Despite that, these levels are very fun and challenging. Now we move onto the bosses. YES. They are amazing! Naughty Dog actually made these guys challenging! Bravo! If there's one major flaw to the game, it's 100% completion. It is annoying as hell. Not only do you have to collect gems, which are already a pain to collect, but now we have time relics. Oh boy. You collect these by jumping into a clock in a stage you already beat, and you have to get to the goal in a certain amount of time. There are three kinds of relics. There's the sapphire ones ones you get if your time wasn't bad, but nothing special, there's gold relics, which means you did great, and there's platinum relics, which means you did the stage flawlessly. However, they are incredibly hard, and are required for the best ending. The level design does not compensate with the relics at all. Lucky for me though, you only need the sapphire relics to get the good ending. THANK GOD. Overall, Crash 3 is in the unfortunate position of being compared to it's predecessor. The vehicle levels in this game were overused. In Crash 2, there were only 2 or 3 vehicle levels in the game. However, Crash 3 has amazing graphics, a great soundtrack, and great bosses. I still heavily recommend this game.… Expand

    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.

Earning new moves after the boss battles allow for new additional ways to approach the levels when replaying. This allows the replayability value to be enhanced. However, Crash isn't a revolutionary game, and it isn't a game that I feel comfortable jumping into at any time, due to it's narrow linear structure, and some controls like the vehicle levels having controls that feel outdated. Still, it is a very good gameplay experience, and is rightfully regarded to be the best game of the Crash franchise.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Great Game. It's my favorite Crash Bandicoot Game and I first played it as a little kid. I can understand why people don't like the underwater levels but the other levels are just great.… Expand

    Me parece un juego excelente de plataformas y el mejor que hizo Naughty Dog ya que mejora la jugabilida al máximo, si no le pongo mas es porque siento que se queda algo corto de niveles ya que creo que hasta el primer juego tiene mas

    CB3 it's a great game, great music and graphics, the story maybe not so good but works and the gameplay has some flaws but still playable. Very good plataformer for PS1

    A classic. Although I'm not a huge fan of the franchise, this one was pretty good.

    PORQUE NO ESTAN TODOS LOS JUEGOS DE PLAY 1 DE CRASH EN METACRITIC!!!!!!!!!! Este es seguramente el juego de crash mas solido en macanicas y jugabilidad, pero sus nuevas adiciones son un tanto imperfecctas e extrañas, pero todo lo demas es solidamente bueno, mejorando lo del juego anterior. La trilogia de play 1 es simplemente perfecta

    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 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 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: 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.

    Deceptively imprecise platforming, due to the controls and the camera angle. By today's standards a short and clichéd game. Classic mechanics perform as expected, few surprises for those familiar with the genre. Compared to the newer Rayman or Mario games, this old PS1 'gem' is just way less fun. And fun is the only thing it aims for. Unless it meant to be that frustrating.

    A great adventure is letdown by its boring context.

    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.
