    So many years later, and it's STILL a great game, equal with the first two. After the first 4, it was so badly downhill its not even funny.

    A classic. Best psone game ever. Too bad Crash's latest games haven't lived up to it.

    I own a PS2 and every PlayStation game (includes #6) and a GBA and The Huge Adventure. All are great, but this one, the graphics, and the several modes of play make THIS the one I would review.

    Perfect game for PSOne. Addictive and still worth playing from time to time. One of only two games to "survive" the transition to PS2.

    'i loved this game when i was young but i can't play it anymore because my playstation broke(now i have a 360) this game is even better than Mario 64 in my opinion...too bad the newer crash games suck monkey balls.

    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.

    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.

    the crash bandicoot series is the best PS one arcade series ever. Fun and challenging when looking to beat the game and collect relics and gems. If you owned a PS one, then im sure you probably played this game.

    Immortal. Crash Bandicoot 3 is a game that I will remember forever as the greatest linear action-adventure game for the Playstation 1.

The aircraft battles, motorcycle races, jetskis, running, bazookas and crazy shet were infinitely fun! I loved every minute of being addicted to this game! I really hope they make something like this again in that exact old style. I'd but it in a heartbeat.… Expand

    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.

    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

    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

    The "Crash Bandicoot" series was one of the most popular PlayStation franchises out there in its heyday. 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.

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!

The controllers first of all are as smooth as in Crash 2 along with the slide and belly flop.

    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!
