Coolest shit ever. It was like Crash 1 with the level advancement mechanics tweaked. And jetpacks.

Amazement that someone can get 3d platformers right after the clusterfuck that was Mario 64 and its embarrassingly bad controls and camera.

You have been visited by the ORANGE HALLWAY DOG OF PANTS AND LOADING

Watered-down, momentumless platforming will come to you, but only if you post "sleep tight dead franchise" in this thread.

I know you really, really want for this to be a thing, but Poochieing is kind of already understood as hamfisted novelty/pandering update in an already *existing* series

Crash was bland, kind of embarrassing committee tripe from the get go.

To answer OP, when I first played Crash 2, I had mild fun with it for a while, then I realized it wasn't as good as Jumping Flash or SM64.

It looked pretty good and the gameplay felt just as simple and enjoyable as it is now.

It was one of the first games I had for the PS and I liked it a lot. Third one was good too. It was fun figuring out how to get all the crystals.

Warped was the worst entry in the ND Crash series, though.

Too many gimmicky non-platforming stages.

>> No.3348561

Loved it.
I had this, my cousin had the first one and our other cousin had Warped. We would always trade. Good times.

Camera yes, but control wise Mario 64 is still one of the most fluid 3D platformers I've played.

>> No.3348723

>>3346369
Playing it right after Crash 1 I can safely say that it went in the opposite direction that the Spyro series went, which is to not only refine the formula but to also perfect it. It also did the "more of the same but better" type sequel that Banjo-Tooie was trying to do but didn't make.
Honestly how did Insomniac come to the conclusion that that minigame bullshit was a good direction for the series.

I think Crash 3 it's fair share of gimmicky minigame bullshit levels as well (although they're still in the platforming world they don't count) like the tiger levels in China, airplane, jetskis

I never completed 1 or 2 crash, heard 1 is a great platformer. but then I hear others saying it has shit momentum-less movement.

Anyway, I'm just fucking with ya, Crashboy. I really do like JF a lot better, but I played Crash 2 as a kid. I never liked it much, but I don't hate it.

It was on a demo disc or something. One of the snow levels. I played the level and then moved on.
