edit: For real though, Crash 1 is pretty miserable compared to the other two and it's a real shame because it's the one I was most looking forward to being improved upon!

Pretty fantastic

My favorite thing so far is the increasingly :wtc: expression Crash has as he's beaten over the head with the crates he missed at the end if a level

Honestly, if the control is different, I think it goes both ways. I just did the sky bridge level in the third world and that would've been WAY worse if I couldn't stop on a dime (and despite the amount of times I just died I do remember it being WAY worse).

Having just gotten the gold relic on that very level to nab the platinum for Crash 1: That level still sucks so many god drat balls.

Very true.

edit:



And now to never play Crash 1 again. It's a good game but jesus is it the worst of the three by a mile.

Crash 3 is great for the like 5 levels that are Crash platforming. All the gimmick levels are just unfun.

I was trying to think of platformer franchise where the first game is the best and you made me remember tthe Earthworm Jim series.

How many levels in Earthworm Jim 2 didn't have a gimmick that take over the majority of the level?

Speaking of which, aside from a graphical upgrade and the ability to play as Coco did they make any improvements to the trilogy as far as gameplay is concerned or are they all about the same?

I thought the dirt digging level was novel if annoying, but you shut your mouth about Puppy Love and Villi People. Intestines, pinball bumpers, and quiz shows never looked so good together.

The flying one with the balloons was weird and the snot bungee jumping was meh.

I think out of the 4 major platformer franchises that the PS2 had, only Ratchet and Clank had better sequel, with both Jak and Daxter and Sly Cooper trading tight design for an open world that made them not quite as good as the first in the series.

Also the first Rocket Knight game was easily the best in the series.

The first Bubsy was also probably the best one, it's just that it was also a pile a crap.

TBH MGS2 is my least favorite gameplay of the MGS series but it still works perfectly with the setting and design, even if i don't personally gel with it. I don't know how to deal with the first 2 hours on big shell without a non lethal pistol
