(NOTE: THE PS4 COPY OF CRASH N-SANE TRILOGY I PLAYED ON MY PS5 IS A USED COPY. ACTIVISION DID NOT GET A SINGLE CENT FROM ME. WHY I AM MENTIONING THIS? LOOK UP ACTIVISION’S LONG TROUBLED HISTORY AND “BOBBY KOTICK” AND YOU WILL SEE WHY I DID NOT BUY A NEW COPY.)
Crash Bandicoot is a classic platformer from the PS1. He got a remake with his other two PS1 games in the N-Sane Trilogy. My history is Crash started with playing Crash of the Titan and Mind over Mutant on my PS2 over 10 years ago. The last Crash game I have played and beaten was Crash 3 Warped on the PS3 and that was years ago, too. I got to play and beat the first Crash and holy fuck, it is hard.
I am not kidding; this game is difficult. The difficulty comes from the precise platforming. If you overshoot or undershoot a jump, you will die. Checkpoint boxes and Aku Aku masks are not that common, so you are a fragile bandicoot. Some stages will make you want to rip your hair out. Temple Ruins, Road to Nowhere (Oh god), Sunset Vista, The High Road (OH GOD), Slippery Climb (OH MY GOD), and Castle Machinery almost made me quit. I will never 100 percent this game or touch Stormy Ascent because I care about my mental health.
In the first of the N-Sane Trilogy, the game looks great. Everyone is expressive and the graphics and art design will never look dated.
Crash 1 might be a tough game to sell because of its difficulty. If you have the patience and willpower, you will beat this game. The game is good, but I do not see myself replaying it. It is so hard.
