Summary:
What a disgrace to the gaming world. What the hell is this? If you were a fan of the Crash Bandicoot games for the Play Station 1, This game is a horrible follow-up. I played it for 5 hours, got so pissed off I took it out of the gamecube and threw it under the couch and will never speak of it again. I was so disappointed of this game, then again, it was in the bargain bin at Wal-mart along with Mary-kate and ashley so I'm kinda not surprised. Overall, this game stinks. I mean wreaks. Heck, it almost doesnt even tops Big Rigs for the PC, and that, my friends, has got to be the worst game ever made for a major gaming system. Now, lets name the major let downs for this game. First off, the camera angles. Ninja Gaiden, a great game for xbox, is a perfect game except the camera angles are pitiful at sometimes, but at least in that game, you can straighten them out by pressing the R button. In Crash Bandicoot, the R button isn't even used, so why not put that as camera button? I dont get it. For example, when you are running backwards through a level, say to smash and extra crate or some****, the camera doesn't even turn around, so you are running into a camera as it backs up. What the hell is that? Some enemy could suddenly jump out in front of you and all the running was a waste of time. Horrible camera angles. Next, the graphics. What, are the crates sinking into the floor? hey, where did that siding go? oh, wait. There it is. Nope, gone again. Back. Gone. Back. What terrible graphics. Also, if you are in a level where you're rolling around in a ball, and you fall off/die, it looks like the pieces are bobbing up in down in water. Overall, terrible graphics. Then, there's the biggie. The gameplay. It is horrible and frustrating. The enemies are so easy to defeat, but if you press the B button a shade to early, you'll die. If you're not a good distance past the platform and jumped, you'll just barely not make it or get zapped by mister transparent guy you have to beat as the second boss. Absolutely game crunching horrible graphics. The sound, was probably the best part of the game. I enjoyed it my self. If I was 2. The sound sounds like some little tune spitted up by a toddler and recorded and put in the game. I have to mute it all the time because it gets on my nerves, the same stupid thing over and over again. A good example of a game with good sound is metroid prime. It entertains you a bit more while you are playing the game. Overall, this game from me, gets an embarrasing, 1 out of 5.

To read more reviews that are true and reviewed by fellow gamers that are your age not some idiots who give this game or universal studios 5 out of 5, look for dog_bizkits of splinter or slinta dude or something.

Summary:
This Game is loaded with action and comedy. For People who like a colourful fun game this is definitly a buy. People will say because it is linear it is rubbish but can still enjoy vehicle rides and unlocking secrets. The Gamecube version is the best version, because the controls are easier and the loading times are better so for those that got told how good it was by a PS2 don't be fooled. An all round fun, family friendly game.
