I love quite literally everything about this game except for the gameplay. It looks great, the story is simple and fun, and the music is incredible. Too bad it controls like a dump truck. Someone on roller skates shouldn't have wider turns than a goddamn semi. You can eventually get used to how it feels and by the end I didn't really have any problems playing it, but it just never really feels very good.

I can see the bones of what could be not only the best Crash game but one of the best PS2 platformers in general here, but they just didn't have the time or money to do it justice. The platforming is a lot of fun, its really funny, and I found the music really enjoyable. Sadly the game is just constantly falling apart and fighting with itself that it is just frustrating often enough to sour the whole experience. In a world where the team was allowed to finish the game this would be peak, but sadly we're not in that world. These songs are gonna be stuck in my head for weeks.
Well, I did it. I've finally beaten ARR. It was about 100 hours, but I've done it. I think when most people say ARR is bad, what they mean is its not as good as the later expansions that they've been playing for years. ARR has plenty of problems and there are plenty of times when I got tired of the fetch quests and MMO filler, but the high points are pretty high. When the story gets going it's really good. Finishing the patch quests has me really excited for Heavensward because what they left us with is really good. I played all of the base game as a warrior and loved it, but I got hit with tank anxiety pretty bad in the patches for some reason so I fucked off and leveled dragoon to 50 and I don't regret it dragoons are cool as shit. Excited to hear the new voice acting, I've heard its a lot better.
If this didn't have the story mode option I would not have finished it. I don't think I've ever had to lower difficulty like that before. I hate the gameplay. Its not that I don't understand it or whatever, I just really don't like it. The story is fine, feels more like setup for 2 than it's own thing. Dorn is cool. Having him in a party of good/neutral was fun. I actually liked Neera a good bit, her quest was fun.

After beating World Tour and putting a bunch of hours into online, I might as well just say that this is the best fighting game I've ever played. Not only is World Tour compelling and well put together, but the fighting itself just feels so fucking good, and I'm not even very good at it. I only have one character in silver and it's just because people don't know how to handle a Gief that only knows how to do an ex spd and nothing else. Hitting the buttons just feels so incredible.
