Never have I played a game so agonisingly difficult to the point where both of my thumbs are sore to the bone. Such an unforgiving, painful platformer that's overly difficult for no reason at all. I remember playing the original briefly and from what I remember as a kid, it was never as difficult as this.

I would say it's a fun experience, but that depends on your definition of fun. Do you enjoy hours of work only to have it thrown into your face because of poor camera angles and overly sensitive platforming? This game's for you, otherwise, I would not say that this is "fun." It's... satisfying? It makes you feel accomplished, especially when all is said and done, but the dictionary definition of fun does not apply here because I DEFINIETLY will not be revisiting this game anytime in the near future. I'm sure this game has taken a few years off of my life and I wouldn't be surprised if I start having PTSD flashbacks at any mention of Crash Bandicoot.

The way I talk about this makes it sound like it's a bad game, but in no right is it bad. I'm sure the original release is even better without the unrelenting difficulty, and I can only give this a solid rating because of it's legacy and possible enjoyment otherwise if I had access to the PS1 version, otherwise... it's cool like this, I guess.
