    Unjustified difficulty and bad control, unfortunately, for a game that was one of the best childhood memories, so that the developers made it a very bad game that no one from this generation would remember.

    Kult sein, langsam fallen mir keine ersten Schritte mehr ein, gut zu wissen, wo man steht, hart aber vertretbar. Die Sprachausgabe sollte man leiser stellen.

    Having 3 of one of the best crash games in one full game is amazing. Its honestly impressive how the Switch can render all these graphics on the go. This is definetly one of the best consoles to play crash on. Being enable to play Crash anywhere and not just in homes is the reason why it makes it this good on a handheld. ive spent 200 hours on this and its still fun to replay this.

Though this game is one of the hardest games on the switch so if you rage quit you might hit the switch screen. If you have crash on the playstation and you wanna buy it on the switch then it depends on how much you enjoy the game. If you hate to replay this then dont buy it but if you arent always at homes and want to play crash then its good to get the switch version… Expand

    I am really impressive how the switch was able to port this game. The story is the same from the original version from the PlayStation 1, but they made a really great work in remaking those graphics and even the animation and controller are smoother.

Imagine a boost pad that sends you into enemies off-camera you can't see with no time to react. This is in one of the levels and I died to it many times. The life system is completely unnecessary, because you are likely to lose all accumulated lives to bosses or badly designed levels. The game tries to be difficult and it is, but not because of the platforming challenges. It is because you can't properly look around yourself due to the locked-in-place camera and also bad level design.

    There is one level in the first game, where there is a section with platforms appearing and then falling and platforms visible in the distance, with wumpa fruit trail into the void. So I thought I should follow the fruit, boom, death. WHAT I WAS SUPPOSED TO DO was to jump onto a completely arbitrary spot, on a platform that is about to collapse and fall, and from there, jump onto an off-screen platform. This game's design is literally so cheap and poor I can't believe someone considers it as some amazing platformer.

    Not even mentioning the hitboxes and killer Nitro crates that jump from time to time, ending up killing you if the RNG feels like it. And also the incredibly sensitive controls... hmph. Awful game.    … Expand

    Underneath a lazy port that has bad collision detection (an issue present in the ps4 release) are three great games, that frankly should look better than it does. This collection solves the worst problem present in the originals; their brevity. Only buy if this is your only system that runs it.

    Port is good but without any nostalgia cloudy the gameplay, the Crash games are awful. Running forward platforming is garbage. You will fall in a pit 5 times on Game 1 Board 1 get a game over and never touch it again.

    this game has been modernized by visuals only. the controls are slippery as h*ll, eight directional movement sucks a*s. and level difficulty feels like getting punched 500 times over before being thrown down a trash can. i wish i could enjoy this game, but with these controls i just cant

    Que dire si ce n'est que ce portage est très fidèle. On retrouve les 3 remasters de cette superbe trilogie et... ses défauts d'époque !
    A noter une difficulté très élevé pour le premier opus. Mais quel plaisir de grignoter ce jeu car c'est pour moi son véritable atout. On peu jouer des petites phases de 5-10 minutes en mode portable. A croire que ce jeu a été conçu pour la console

I forgot how many times I died, and how many times I used profanities and wanted to break the console. I forced myself to finish it. After finishing the whole campaign I don’t feel satisfied at all. I feel angry and dreadfully tired. Pleas don’t play this junk!… Expand

    Para empezar este es un juego de plataformas en 3-D, aunque a veces presenta algunos escenarios en 2-D, estos siempre tienen profundidad, además hay que tener en cuenta que presenta una gran dificultad, principalmente el primero en las secuelas su nivel es reducido.
    Una de las cosas que más me gustaron de estos juegos fue su gran variedad en escenarios y niveles, cada uno cuenta con su propio estilo, además que cuenta con un gran grado de rejugabilidad. En diferentes situaciones inclusive nos otorga el poder de manejar diferentes tipos de vehículos, como motocicletas, lanchas, animales, hasta naves espaciales. Otras cosas a destacar son sus jefes finales variados y diferentes entre sí. Y por último su apartado técnico, el lavo de caro que le hicieron a toda la trilogía es asombrosa, con excelente animación, modelados, y una gran banda sonora.
    Un punto negativo que me gustaría destacar es su dificultad, ya que a veces puede ser hasta frustrante, y no cuenta con modos más fáciles.
    Si te gusta los juegos de plataformas desafiantes te lo recomiendo de una ya vas a encontrar una gran variedad de niveles y situaciones, si por el contrario buscas alguna experiencia más tranquila y casual quizás este jugo no sea para vos.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The 'supposedly enhanced' and aptly named N SANE Trilogy has a far bigger impact on visual quality rather than the actual controls and game play compatibility. Completely built from the ground up with the Olds specs comes a remained modern day spin on the old classics. But does it hold up? Sort of.

    My main gripe with remasters is the way changes are made to 'enhance' an already established play style that isn't broken to begin with. FOR EXAMPLE, Crash controlled differently across all three games for a reason. As the games went on his mobility improved and granted him access to powerups that allowed the marsupi to not rely so much on just solely jumping. This is why his base jump is pretty weak in Warped. However, the devs wanted to make the controls of the remaster feel consistent and unified. So they based all control off of the third games jumping. THIS MAKES THE OTHER GAMES FEEL INCREDIBLY OFF. And that's not the only problem. With current Gen tech, the hit boxes on Crash's feet are pill shaped and this means he will slip off of platforms way easier. Along with a bunch of other wonky changes to his controls, frankly this makes the game such a chore for new and old fans alike. In fact, the time trials, which were added to the first and second game as well, are horrendous. Even the gimmick levels have been tampered with on vehicle stages. It's atrocious. The game may look good but it plays like Crash is carrying around a lot more weight and the slightest fault will send you plummeting to your demise. The only thing the old games needed fixing was the PAL version. But this game just needs to be forgotten entirely. It's sickening.    … Expand

    I never played Crash Bandicoot for the Playstation, so this game is somewhat new to my playing (I know that is sad but true). However I really enjoyed playing it on the Switch. The challenge level is tougher than I ever imagined but just enough not to make it impossible. It is a great throwback game and one you should get if you are nostalgic on the 64-bit era.

    At the fair price of $40, the Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy offers three fun platforming classics that have been re-created from the ground up, and only minor adjustments have been made for the Switch. The first title suffer from its unification strategy, so it's a more frustrating experience, but Cortex Strikes Back and Warped play really well. The visual style and graphical performance on the Switch are fantastic thanks to the minor adjustments, making this a well-deserved port for the handheld's library.

    Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy lands on the Nintendo Switch with a compilation of the first three games of the Crash Bandicoot series and what a welcome addition it is to the console's catalogue. Thanks to its charms, to its immense content and to a reworked visual outlook, this trilogy will provide many hours of fun for those feeling nostalgic for these games and to those curious to discover them.
