I used to have a problem with starting/finishing things, I did one too much and the other too little. also already finished some of my backlog but it's been a WHILE so I'm doing a slow do-over.
Almost used, might put some actual effort into reviewing something soon.

I often think of Crash Bandicoot (both the character and the game) as being an important part of my formative years, I received its disc, together with the console, as a sort of inheritance from a cousin of mine after he bought himself a PS2. It is with such rose tinted glasses that I looked towards playing this game again, and that the text that follows was shaped by:
It's pretty good.
.
.
.
I'm not the biggest platformhead around(at time of writing), so I can't throw comparisons that were shaped by a better execution of its core concepts, nor do I have a deep understanding of what "better" would really entail, but I think that given a similar ignorance of the medium or a possible understanding of its flaws that Crash Bandicoot is indeed "pretty good", it was (for me) often challenging but never frustratingly so and I liked the stage selection map being an overview of the islands, unfortunately I found the bosses (one of my favourite parts of gaming) to be very lacking, but I enjoyed the normal levels more so I had fun , just like in the good ol days before a fully developed frontal cor- huh.
Anyway, uh, I'd love to say Crash Bandicoot is my favourite game ever but after two levels I realised that my cousin had actually gifted me Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back, which I have yet to replay, and I only played the first one for a bit when I got confused which disc was the second's. Also, Idk why I wrote this thing this way, what's up with that?

I recall being so mad I wasted money on this bullshit that I wrote a text in english for the first time ever, a review calling it a piece of shit.
Not the worst game, but there's hardly any reason to play or recommend it when rebirth exists and is better in every conceivable way. Having that said the huge amount of piss and shit is off-putting to say the least (a problem inherent to the series, so it does not get better on rebirth)
