Fun:
I just got this yesterday and so far it's a lot of fun. I have always been a PC gamer and was missing out on some of the fun wacky platformer games (other than Rayman, which this game reminds me of a bit) that you find on Playstation or Wii so I picked up a PSP to augment my gaming, and this is exactly the sort of game I was hoping to find. So far I have only been through two different environments but both were artistically gorgeous and very creatively put together. There's also a lot of wacky humour in this game (so far), cute/clever voices for the enemy characters, and bizarre but fun cut-scenes done in different styles of traditional and not-so-traditional animation.
As for game play, I don't have a lot to compare it to other than the first Crash and Crash 2 that I played years ago on a friend's playstation (and Rayman 2,3 on the PC), but I can say I'm having fun with the game play - it's not too difficult for an old dude like me. ;) Spinning is accomplished by rotating the analog stick 360 degrees, and that movement just really makes spinning that much more fun. Jumping and climbing and hanging off of ledges works pretty well too - Crash clings to cliffs really well so it's pretty hard to fall off and get "killed". That should make it good for younger kids. You can also pause the game and save whenever you want, so you don't end up repeating things you've already accomplished if you bite it. The variety of movements is interesting, and jacking mutants adds new abilities (so far I have one mutant that can freeze water and really smash things - awesome!). The lighting effects are great too, especially when you are smashing things. At one point there are these huge dead dandelions you have to destroy and I've never seen so much destruction look so pretty. The water effects are not the greatest, but they are certainly passable. Roaming around freely is also great, but of course there are points when there is more of a guided path you have to follow. There's a digging feature that's pretty novel; at points in the game Crash can go underground and dig his way under rivers or hazards to other areas of the game world, and the view switches to a top view x-ray sort of thing that sort of shows you where you are underground.
Anyway, those are my first impressions. When I first heard about this game about a week ago I really had to go out of my way to find it, and I haven't seen any other reviews of it on any of the game review sites yet, so I was beginning to wonder if it even got released. I am really happy with this game so far, and my girlfriend is already coveting it (oddly it's a bit like one of her favourites - Tomb Raider, except with a wacky animated bandicoot and crazy villains). So far it's a fun and great looking little platformer for the PSP. Oh, I should mention, it doesn't have any multiplayer options on the PSP - I read somewhere that some of the versions have multiplayer action, or they allow you to play Coco, or something like that. This game may still allow you to play Coco, she is in the game, but I haven't gotten that far yet...
4.5 Stars!
