    No amount of lighting or funny animations can make up for the rudimentary 3D platforming on display. You could even say that the look of these games belies their true nature.

    Crash Bandicoot can still be fun – but is far from essential. A visually impressive remake full of detail and polish for what is for the most part a painfully average platformer.

The Crash game’s were a thing of beauty in my opinion and to say I had many fun and memorable hours playing these game’s would be a massive understatement. In fact I enjoyed these game’s that much that I would say that Crash Bandicoot is as profound in the gaming industry as both Mario and Sonic, and that’s quite a feat considering how huge both of them franchises are. As you can imagine then when I learnt that Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy was finally making its way to the Xbox One I jumped for joy and the best thing is that it was definitely worth the wait. This isn’t a bog standard remaster because a great deal of thought and effort has gone into all aspects of the different game’s that are available to you. They have also added a few extra features as well so what you get is the best Crash Bandicoot experience with new and extra content which fans of the game will love. These new features add to an overall package that is dripping in content and trust me you won’t find yourself getting bored anytime soon. In fact you will find it very difficult to put the game down because the replay value is off the charts and you definitely get great value for your money. You’ll also be pleased to know then that as far as the gameplay goes it’s pretty much perfect. Platforming and traversing in the game has never felt better and on the whole the gameplay is the right sort of challenging because it is both fun and challenging at the same time. There is also a huge amount of variety present in the gameplay as well and this is most evident when it comes to the level design. Each level is so intricate and cleverly designed which in turn means playing them never seems to get boring. In terms of gripes I only really have one and that isn’t a particular big gripe either. My gripe is about the vehicle levels because they aren’t as fun as the other levels due to the controls not being as responsive as they should. Like I said though this only a small gripe because I don’t actually dislike the vehicle levels. One of the most improved aspects over the original game’s is definitely the presentation side of things and without a doubt Crash Bandicoot has never looked and sounded better which means it fits in with today’s modern characters extremely well. At the end of the day Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy is an absolutely glorious collection of game’s that are both perfect for veterans of the series and newcomers as well. Everything about the Trilogy screams perfection and when it’s all said and done it’s probably going to be up there with my top game’s of the year this year.… Full Review »
