Crash Bandicoot was my childhood game. I have played and beaten several of the games in the series, but I have not played this until just recently. I saw playthroughs of this game on youtube and the game looked fun and easy enough but when I played it I kept dying and getting game overs a lot that I quit. When I got to level 5, I had so many problems with it and one tine I got the crystal and got close to the end and I got a game over. If you are looking for a challenging game then you should definitely play this game. I am giving the graphics a 10 out of 10, because the game looks really nice especially for 1997. Lately I have been playing older games so these graphics look excellent in comparison and I don't find anything wrong with them. If they remake this game for a newer system I think the graphics will look amazing, but I don't like to complain about graphics in video games. The sound gets a 5 out of 10. Although the music is good, it does not really catch my attention as much as the other crash games in the series. The replay value gets 2 out of 10.The controls and camera angles messed me up a lot and made me really mad. When I got to level 5, I couldn't stand it anymore and now I just don't want to play it anymore. The story gets a 5 out of 10 because the story in most crash game are the same, kill the bad guy, which is cortex, and no this is not a spoiler because his name is in the title. Depth gets a 7 out of 10. Basically you go through sets of 5 levels ending with a boss, but in these levels you can find bonus levels where you can collect wumpa fruit and lives without losing lives when you die. you can also take death routes if you make it there without dying to get items toward 100% completion. No spoilers intended. For difficulty, I gave it a 10 out of 10 because this game is HARD. The camera angles and controls mess me up A LOT. Sometimes I want to jump so I press the jump button and the game does not let me jump. Sometimes the camera angles mess me up because it looks like you are supposed to jump at one area when you are supposed to move further to jump. If you have never played a platform game before then you will see the game over screen A LOT. I remember as a kid I was really good at platform games, now I really suck at them. Overall I gave this game a 5.8 out of 10. This is not a bad game at all, It's just not very fun for me. If you are looking for a hard game then this one is for you; however it may only be hard for me because I have mostly been playing rpgs now instead of platform games.
