Editorial Review

In the tradition of great 3-D action jumping games, Crash Bandicoot is probably the PlayStation equivalent of the groundbreaking Nintendo 64 title Super Mario 64. Now repackaged as one of PlayStation's Greatest Hits, this top-selling game takes you away on a tropical island adventure that is filled with precarious enemies and challenging levels. Our spiky-haired hero Crash needs no weapons to survive the harsh jungle. Instead, he jumps, jogs, and spins his way through numerous lush and downright fun environments.

With 26 levels spanned across three tropical islands, Crash Bandicoot is sure to amuse old gamers as well as new. Crash must rescue his girlfriend, Tawna, from the evil clutches of Dr. Cortex. Along the way, he can gather fruit for extra lives, smash boxes for random prizes, and gather tokens that can be used for bonus rounds. Numerous big bosses block your path, which also includes more than a few risky jumps that require split-second timing. Crash Bandicoot's impressive graphics and strong gameplay have already won over many hard-core and casual gamers. While this PlayStation classic has already spawned two successful sequels, the original version remains a worthy purchase--particularly at the sub-$20 price. --Kasty Thomas

Pros:

  • Sub-$20 price
  • Hidden bonus levels
Cons:
  • None

4.0 out of 5 stars Sony has an excellent response to Sonic the Hedgehog, October 13, 1999
By A Customer
= Durability:3.0 out of 5 stars  = Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars  = Educational:2.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Crash Bandicoot (Video Game)
Because it is a CD based unit a lot of the games on the Sony Playstation have a tendancy to be slow in their game play, especally while they boot up into the system. "Crash Bandicoot" does not have a lot of statistics that it needs to download so all you have to do is hit start and within moments the fun begins. With rich graphics and an adorable character "Crash Bandicoot" will have people who enjoy games like "Sonic the Hedgehog" and "Donkey Kong" sitting on their couches and playing this game until their thumbs become rigid with arthritis. Young children whll enjoy Crash's antics, especally when the game comes to a stop for a few moments and Crash is forced to wait for the player to continue. Older players will like all of the hidden extra levels and bonuses that they can trip over during game play.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Terrfic Game For The Younger Group, December 14, 1999
By A Customer
= Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars  = Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars  = Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Crash Bandicoot (Video Game)
The orginal Crash Bandicoot is pretty good. The graphics have a cartoonish feel instead of the 3-D look of Crash Bandicoot: Warped. The first cople of levels are pretty easy but then it just gets hard. There is no advancing in the difficultly, it just does from simpe to alost impossible. The 4th level is probably one of the hardest in the games which confuses me. In my personal opinion, the game should be easy till about the 5th level then increase in difficultly so it doesn't appear obvious that the level you are playing is very hard. The bosses are quite easy to defeat except for N. Brio, who is twice has hard the main enemy, N. Brutus. The game, though, is a lot better than any of the Marios or Banjo-Koozies. The sercet levels give you extra lifes that will definately help you later on in the game. The game in my personal opinio, is a little to childish. The characters are child-like except for the main villian and the attacks are pretty tame. But overall, the game is great for your kids. It has a possiblity of being one of the best adventure series ever and it is definately the best game on the Playstaion consule. Of course, that's only my opinion.

5.0 out of 5 stars SECRET CODE, February 13, 2001
By 
Jadecat (Lake Orion, MI United States) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)   
This review is from: Crash Bandicoot (Video Game)
I have never managed to beat the game, can't imagine how some people claim to do so in 5 hours. My 5 year old has finally figured out how to play these games on the playstation. She was getting frustrated with Crash, until I found the code that allows you to go to any level and play. Plus if you go to the Castle Machinery level first, you get 20 some free lives and then can go where you want. Find the password screen and punch in: T(triangle),T,T,T,X,S(square),T,T,T,T,S,X,T,O,T,T,T,O,S,T,X,X,X,X. Maybe it is cheating, but for us folks that have a hard time beating the game, it makes playing it more fun!
