Featured reviews
Crash Bandicoot 1 is a simple 3D platformer. So simple that it's hard to play. Imagine getting totally pwned on a bridge with a realistic warthog bucking you every time.
Collect Wumpa fruit and get a life when you make 100. Go to certain special stages when you collect 3 Tawna heads and save.
No boxes, no gem. The goal of the game is to get all the boxes to get a gem. Gems can open up areas and lead you to a desired ending.
Get a Aku Aku mask to become invulnerable. Get 3 to be a Demigod mowing down baddies and showing explosive boxes who's boss.
The gameplay is delightfully linear and full of obstacles. Though it is more challenging than the later entries. Crash spins and stomps enemies.
Crash Bandicoot 1 is such a retro video game. Not in it's presentation (which I highly admire). But, because it makes you use passwords in a 3D video game. On PS1, before anyone could comprehend what a memory card is mind you? "Oook Oook! What's a memory card?! I'm going to throw an iMac to the floor! " There is a memory function but password saves are totally from the SNES era.
The graphics and sound are amazing for a PS1 game. Everything is so dark, gritty, moody yet so toony, colorful and vibrant. Crash is just so 90's attitude in his design. He is just so expressive. We love him. The music by the way is performed by Mark Mothersburgh of Devo fame though I think he was lacking on his soundtrack because it mostly feels quiet but zany nonetheless. You will feel just like you're in a glorified Looney Tunes short.
Some of the enemies are down right creepy because they have never been textured.
Overall, Crash Bandicoot is a profoundly rewarding experience.
Crash Bandicoot is our mostly silent protagonist (he doesn't speak, but does make sounds when spinning or injured) and this game introduces the iconic character as he seeks to defeat enemies and rescue his girlfriend, Tawna.
"Crash Bandicoot is on a quest to rescue his girlfriend from the evil Dr. Neo Cortex."
This game is very nostalgic to many children's childhoods. This game may not the greatest of the franchise but it certainly holds significance being the beginning of a much beloved character and story. Overall, a great game!
The story is about an experiment by the evil Dr. Neo Cortex that goes wrong, this experiment is called Crash Bandicoot. Crash is supposed to be loyal to Neo Cortex, but he escapes his lab that was on an island and gets washed up on an island nearby. However, Crash had a girlfriend who is held hostage by Neo Cortex and is having experiments done on her. Crash is supposed to get across the island he got washed up on, the island next to it, and then through Neo Cortex's island in order to defeat Cortex, save the world, and get his girlfriend back.
Along the way, Crash is aided by a witch doctor named Aku Aku. Together they take on several dangers of the island including dangerous plants, wild animals, natives, piranhas, deadly robots, pelicans, rats, and even a few of Cortex's machine gun wielding henchmen that are on his island. Throughout the island are some of Neo Cortex's big henchmen, such as a huge Indian, a crazy dynamite loving kangaroo, an insane Gorilla, and a rat who is much like a '40's gangster with a tommy gun. In the end crash gets to take on Dr. Neo Cortex.
I really loved this game, it really brings back some great memories for me. Hopefully you can find a copy of it somewhere, as of now it's quite rare.
It's about our goofy hero Crash Bandicoot who goes on his quest to rescue his sweetheart Tawna from the evil mad scientist Dr. Neo Cortex.
I have it on PS4 as its remastered version in Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy. It looks great. I like its both classic and remastered version. I cannot prefer so who cares which one is the best anyway?!
It's probably one of the best PS1 games of all time.
