Didn't find either of the two new levels very exciting but I think they're aimed for slightly more hardcore gamers given the difficulties.… Expand

    As someone who had Crash Bandicoot 1 and Warped on the Playstation 1, when the Switch version came out I had to buy it. I had it on PS4 and completed Warped, but never got around to the other 2 games. With the switch I have already completed 1 and am trying Crash 2 for the first time. The originals were 10/10 and the switch version is the same with nicer graphics and its portable!

    It's a remaster not a remake. So if it's hard to play for you go play something else. Oryginal crash was hard - the part one especially. Its great to see crash on switch. Great games

    Yo jugue en mi infancia Crash Bandicoot 2 y Warped en ps1 . Esto era justo lo que pedía la misma jugabilidad con mejores gráficos. Al jugarlo me trajo muchos recuerdos de mi niñez.

    ¡Muchas Gracias!

    After many years of disappointing games and being left alone in the shadows, Crash was finally back in 2017 with an incredible remaster of his original trilogy that took the gaming world by storm in the 90s. And now, one year after his amazing comeback, the world's favorite marsupial crashes the Nintendo Switch. But, does the hybrid console manages to run the game well?

    The answer is    After many years of disappointing games and being left alone in the shadows, Crash was finally back in 2017 with an incredible remaster of his original trilogy that took the gaming world by storm in the 90s. And now, one year after his amazing comeback, the world's favorite marsupial crashes the Nintendo Switch. But, does the hybrid console manages to run the game well?

    The answer is yes. Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy is a well-made port that runs in a good resolution and a stable 30 fps, with absolutely no frame drops. Sure, some things such as the lightnings in some levels and the textures are quite toned down, but it's not a huge difference, as the game still looks beautiful on the TV and when playing on the go. The developers did a great job at porting this game to Nintendo's newest console.

    Now, speaking aside from the port's quality and such, is the remaster really that good?

    It's best to say that "good" is not enough to describe N.Sane Trilogy. This remaster keeps everything that the original Crash games had in terms of gameplay, level design, story, characters and such, but also improves on everything it has the chance to, such as the graphics, animations, and voice acting. Doing that, it not only creates a sense of familiarity and nostalgia by playing the three original Crash Bandicoot games remastered, but also gives us a feeling of "freshness", by being faithful to the original trilogy. To say it short, this is a remaster made with so much passion that will satisfy every fan of Crash Bandicoot.

    Of course, that doesn't mean N.Sane Trilogy is absolutely perfect. By being faithful to the original games, the remaster also brings back a few problems that the original trilogy had, and doesn't try to fix them. Some things such as the controls at some levels and how it can become frustrating in a few moments are still there. These are things that long-time fans of the series won't have any problem with, but new players might not be ready to face a few of those problems and the big difficult these games bring. That doesn't mean it's impossible to adapt yourself to the game if you're a newcomer, though.

    In the end, it's safe to say that Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy is one of the finest examples of how to make a remaster right, keeping everything important the original games had while tweaking everything it possibly can. This means that some common problems are brought back, but it's nothing the player cannot get used to. At the same time, the port for the Nintendo Switch is absolutely great, with no huge difference to the other versions. But, the greatest thing we all get from the remaster, is that Crash's finally back, and better than ever.    … Expand

However, newcomers to the series may be put off by the steep difficulty spikes and little to no explanation of some of the finer mechanics. This is definitely worth a look if you're a fan of 3D platformers, but just as was the case back in the '90s, Crash isn't in quite the same league as Mario when it comes to playability, inventiveness and entertainment.… Expand

    So much frustration, anger and love!

    This game is a travel back to my childhood and it's as good as I remember(except for Crash 1, that game was not that good and, if you're not a completionist, you should leave it and play the other 2).

    If you spend too much time away from your house like me the Switch version is a must, if not choose where you feel more comfortable playing and have fun!

    An excellent switch port. Runs great on both handheld and docked mode, although I would like it to be less blury on handheld mode. I've never played Crash games before so this is my first time jumping onto the series. Just amazing. A solid platformer game for switch owners.

    Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy is one of the best made ports to the Switch so far. Very good quality and enjoyable games with a few kinks of the past still lingering like the controls being a little bit slippery and trouble with depth perception. However, it does not take away from how fun and classic these games feel even in a high definition polish. Three games definitely worth $40.

    Recommend the game: its all the 3 best crash games ever in one, with better graphics. The lighting and a few characters may look weird, but the game is still as good to play and still looks fine, so no problem here. Also a few extras like coco and relics in the first 2 games.

    Crash Bandicoot is an amazing trilogy and while growing up these were among my favorite games. Crash while silent is an engaging protagonist and there's lots of subtle humor throughout. The platforming is very polished minus a few moments in the second game (where there are some depth perception issues that aren't present elsewhere).

    These 3 games are more than worth the price.

    Crash is back. Crash 2 and 3 are still the best in the series and crash 1 is still is fun to play. There's not a lot to complain about crash looks great and you can now also play as coco. The only thing they did that was questionable was that they made all the games have Crash 3 physic so platforming in Crash 1 and 2 can feel off and be a little bit off when landing on the edge of a platform.

    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.
