As you know I played Crash Bandicoot Warped for PS1 and I enjoyed it for the most part. I have played this on the PS1 console and I got the PS1 download for my Playstation 3 network download.
You play as both Crash and Coco his sister. You get play in levels including Medieval times, scuba diving, prehistoric times, Great Wall of China race, jet-ski racing, Arabian nights levels, tomb pyramid level, motorcycle racing against racing cars or flying saucers, airplane fights or races. You also get to fight Bosses which I enjoyed doing. there's a total of 25 crystals, 45 gems and 30 ankhs to collect. With that said let me tell you some of the good stuff in Crash Bandicoot Warped. You also get 5 brand new power ups which improves this game from the 1st and 2nd Crash Bandicoot game. This game now has time trial mode which is the first game to have this feature.
The Good stuff in Crash Bandicoot Warped.
First of all you get to choose which level you want to teleport in just like in Crash Bandicoot 2, you have to dodge enemies or jump on them or spin attack them, but watch out for TNT boxes and nitro boxes. You have to break all of the boxes to earn a gem, you can see how many crates you need to break before you earn a gem. You also have to get 5 different colored gems in order to access secret areas, you also have to get 5 ankhs to access a secret level. You can also access 2 secret levels one in Road Crash where you have to crash into an alien sign to get to a Jet Ski level. Another one in Dino Might where you're carried off by a Pterodactyl and you get to ride the Dino Rex.
I enjoyed the motorcycle races with wheel car drivers, I also liked the jet-ski race dodging pirates and the tiger run on the great wall. I also liked the cutscenes with Dr. Cortex and Uka Uka and their minions which made me laugh. The boss fights are pretty easy once you know how to dodge and attack.
I liked some of the power ups you get after defeating a boss, including Super Belly Flop, Double Jump, Tornado Spin, Fruit Bazooka and Crash Dash. The Fruit Bazooka is my favorite because it allows me to fire hard to reach crates and enemies, I also liked running because it helped me with the time trial mode and finish the level quicker and dodge enemies faster. I liked the invincible Aku Aku mask that makes Crash invincible.
Some of the death animations for Crash and Coco is pretty funny especially when Crash gets eaten, or electrocuted, or sucked in the drain, or his bottom getting burned by lava even though he's wearing pants, or getting his pants cut exposing his underwear, or getting turned into a frog or getting kissed by a frog or cut in half by a sword, or the spirit of Crash going to heaven, getting poked by spikes, getting deleted, crashing into the wall, or getting blown up by explosions or shot down from an airplane or drowning or falling to his death are animations that I found to be funny though it's not funny when I want to succeed a level.
The alternative ending is worth going after, even when you beat the game the first time and you get a special ending for gathering all of the crystals, gems and Ankhs.
The Bad stuff in Crash Bandicoot Warped.
The time trials modes can be tough especially when you're trying to earn gold Ankhs so you can get the 45th gem and 105 percent. The Underwater levels, Arabian night levels, the Tomb Pyramid levels and Future levels and the motorcycle race and airplane race are very tough for time trial mode.
While I did like the motorcycle race I didn't like the stiff steering, I also didn't like the super sensitive jet-ski steering which made it hard to steer in control. The flying through hoops in an airplane similar to Superman 64 was very difficult to control when you spin through the hoops which was hard for time trial mode. Some of the enemies and traps make this game frustrating to win a level.
In conclusion this is the Best Crash Bandicoot game ever, it's worth spending money on the PS1 disc or buying it on the Playstation 3 network. Unfortunately, this game is excluded from the Playstation Classic Mini Console which is a shame as it should've been included on the Playstation Mini. I hope you Crash Bandicoot fans buy this game as it's well worth your time.
