In 1996, Sony released the PlayStation to compete with Nintendo N64. Now remember, this is 3D gaming we're talking about here. N, polygons,big worlds,etc. Nintendo released Super Mario 64, which has been critically acclaimed as the greatest 3D platformer of all time. The same year, Sony released Crash bandicoot, another 3D platformer. Both games did very well. But I preferred crash bandicoot a little more. Crash bandicoot then got 5 games on PlayStation. Crash bandicoot, Crash bandicoot 2, Crash bandicoot 3, Crash team racing, and last but not least, Crash bash (which was made by eurecom) Crash bandicoot got some games on the GBA too, the first one I'll be reviewing is crash bandicoot the huge adventure.

Story-7/10
The story behind crash bandicoot the huge adventure is that crash's rival Dr neo cortex wants to shrink the entire universe. Now it's up to crash and his sister coco to save the earth before it gets shrunken down!

Gameplay-9/10
Crash bandicoot the huge adventure is a platformer, just like the original PS1 titles, you will be going through a bunch of linear get from start to finish levels. Along the way, you will be collecting a bunch of stuff, such as wumpa fruit, if you collect 100 you will get an extra life. Each level also has a bunch of boxes to break, and if you break all the boxes in a level, you will be rewarded a gray gem at the end of the level. In order for crash to survive, he will have to collect aku aku masks, if he is hit without a mask, then you will lose a life, if you grab 2 masks, he will turn gold, and last but not least, if you grab 3 masks, you will get temporary invincibility. Each level has a special stage too. One last thing! Every time you beat a boss! You will gain a special power! Well, that's all I can say about the gameplay for now.

Graphics-9/10
The graphics are really really good for a GBA game! All the levels are bursting with color! Not to mention, crash's sprite is used for 3 games in a row! Would you believe me if I said, this IS the ultimate crash bandicoot experience?

Sound-9/10
All the music is tooken straight from the PlayStation titles, but is that a bad thing? OF COURSE NOT! Here are a few songs that return from the PS titles, Sewer or later from crash 2, Turtles woods from crash 2, Nah, who am I kidding? A majority of the songs are taken from crash 2!

Addictiveness-9/10
This game is so addicting! I played it for hours straight and never got tired! I mean! theres so much stuff to collect! It took me literately 2 months to 100% this game!

Depth-10/10
Like every other crash game, THERE IS SO MUCH REPLAY VALUE!!!!!!! Each level has a bunch of gems and relics to collect! And getting all of them is not such an easy task! That's one of many reasons! Why I love this game!

Difficulty-7/10
Crash bandicoot games are no stranger to being difficult, each level has a learning curve to it. But that's what makes it so darn fun! I mean, I just love it when a game challenges me like this! You don't get that kind of stuff in video games! Crash titles are challenging, but it's Sony computer entertainment! So, what to expect?

Overall-8.5/10
Overall! I enjoyed this GBA exclusive! I mean, sure it doesn't got everything that the PS titles have! But it doesn't matter! I still enjoyed it regardless! So next time, i''ll be reviewing this game's sequel. I will not reveal the title until I review it. So anyways! See you in my next review!
