After replaying the PS1 version just moments before revisiting this one, just to try the additional Future Tense level. My mind is made up that this is indeed my favorite Crash Game of the trilogy.

I do prefer the original version on that old hardware, just because I think its a little tighter around the edges, whereas I feel this has some hitbox complexities that urk me the wrong way. Especially after playing both versions back to back.

Either way, I stomped this game into submission and have earned the platinum and done everything there is to do. Than I can physically complete. Love this game dearly
