Gave this two stars just because it’s visually impressive, but I don’t like the gameplay at all. They tried too hard to make it their own and lost the simplicity of Crash Bandicoot. You constantly have special powers you have to toggle on and off— which I find extremely annoying. They have a way to play where you have unlimited lives with a death count instead (which is the only way I could play this because my death count is astounding over stupid things—mostly the annoying special powers Crash gets). Having unlimited lives completely takes away any desire to get wumpa fruits. Why would anyone break all the boxes and get wumpa fruits OR EVEN BOTHER WITH THE BONUSES if there’s no incentive? I’ve been playing Crash games since the first one came out. I‘m not much of a gamer, but I was SO EXCITED about this one, and I don’t remember a time I was this disappointed with a game. Every time I’ve tried to play it, it’s just not enjoyable. I have no intentions of trying to finish this game. If I’m in a Crash Bandicoot mood, I guess I’ll just play 2 or 3. Those are great and highly recommended!
