    Muito bom, o melhor e mais divertido da trilogia original. Fases bem diversificadas, desafio na medida certa, jogabilidade agradável e um mascote bem carismático.

    All I can say is that if you have not played this game, you are not a gamer. This was the first game I ever owned and it is the best platformer of all time. Mario can shove it up his ass because he's got nothing on crash.

    Naughty Dog should be proud. They've made one of the best 3D platformers ever made! It's colorful graphics, over-the-top voice acting, and fast gameplay leaves your head spinning for days!

    This game is simply perfect. The story is short, but concise and clear, and the premise is spot on.

The variety in the gameplay is outstanding, yet similar enough with itself to remind you that it is all in one game! This game is even a technical masterpiece due to the smoothness of the many engines, and the game runs very well! It is extremely difficult to dislike this game, especially if it is your first time playing - I can guarantee that you will not be disappointed.… Expand

    My jaw dropped to the floor when I first played the jetski levels, the bike racing tracks, the tiger riding goodness. Each level is exquisitely crafted, the controls are excellent, the graphics are gorgeous. Puts a smile on my face throughout the entire game.

    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.

    What do you get if you mix The Furry Subculture with the warp rooms of crash 2 with the perfect music of crash 2 with the perfect controls and graphics of crash 2 you get CRASH BANDICOOT 3 WAREPED. Holy S#$t this game kicks a#$. Everything about it is great i have no complaints with it whatsoever.

    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!

    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

    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

    Great platformer. IMO its the best Crash Bandicoot game. It has a lot of variety in it like different kinds of game types. I honestly hate the swimming parts but it still adds variety to the game. The racing games are fun. I wish they added more of the racing levels. But all-around this game is the best

    This quite simply is the greatest platformer of all time. It doesn't have the exploration factor that Super Mario 64 did but this game still had more variety. Nice levels, great boss battles, and a finely tuned gameplay that plays perfectly. Anyone who has ever played this will agree with me. It still plays as awesome as it did in 98

    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)
