It's a pretty light collectathon. Spyro 2 has a lot more mini games and 3 has other characters you can play as. Personally I prefer 1 since it's just pure platforming and exploring, 2 and 3 felt like they were trying to mimic their N64 counterparts.

but yeah, super worth it and it still holds up pretty well. The levels based around the charge boost are crazy fun and really cool, it's a goddamn shame there isn't more of them in the game. Tree Tops and Lofty Castle are just fucking amazing.

>>3126334
Crash is good, but overrated overall. The Spyro games were pretty much better overall.

If you think this game is expensive used. Oh boy. You haven't seen the prices of some Saturn games. Or SNES games like Earthbound. Spyro is cheap in comparison.

Spyro costs about as much as a old PS3 game. So it's not too bad in terms of price. It's not dirt cheap like some PS1 games. (less than $10) But it's not fucking expensive like Earthbound either.

I believe Crash Bandicoot in particular is hard to make a modding community for, other than using the already existing levels. Something about the level geometey being streamed from the CD, some even saying it's prerendered, which I find hard to believe.

Also using a PS3 controller wirelessly via custom drivers and bluetooth.
