To make it short DONT buy this game if you are a casual gamer.
I've played every crash and was super excited to play this one. The graphics are great, new animations and moves and also being able to play other characters - awesome but thats about it (thats why i gave it 2 stars)
The game is similar to crash 1, aka being hard and annoying, yes you will be that annoyed that you might not even finish the game. You will curse the person who made the game countless times as you play the game.
The gems system seemed cool at first but as you play the game you will realise that the levels have hidden boxes out of sight. So trying to get them at thr first try would be time wasted if you dont see a gameplay tutorial on youtube - and what is the point of the game if you need to search for answers as you go.
Crash warped always had a good balance of hardness and also fun and i was sad that they took the route of the first game which was in my opinion the worst crash game. I was wrong, this game is the worst crash bandicoot game.
What they also did to bonus levels was terrible, this game was not made for regular gamers but for hardcore crash players so dont waste your money.
