This, Croc isn't a game that deserves hate, but not praise either. If anything the little backstory about it supposedly starting as a Yoshi game but Nintendo rejecting it is kind of interesting. I think it was the Star Fox devs (or same company, Argonaut), but not sure if I'm remembering right.

Wrong, both the 3D Saturn controller and the PS1 Analog controller support Croc and change the controls, adding things like camera control. The movement is still kind of tank-like but a hell of a lot easier to maneuver.

Croc 2 is a good game buried under every bit of dumb bullshit from the time - hokey dialogue, gibberish, hub worlds, collectable nicnaks. They also got rid of some of the more useful aspects of the originals controls like side-stepping, drifting and U-turning. They're not replaced with anything, the buttons just do nothing instead.

It's a shame there isn't a mod to add a level select to bring it more in-line with the original. The story is also pure nonsense, the original was simple but had immediate stakes and 2 starts with the Gobbo King's sandwich getting stolen.

I'm curious about what exactly you find charming when playing Croc. I've tried the game a few times and it's not clicked yet for me.

Specifically, I find the gameplay to be very erratic: there's good speed and maneuverability on Croc, yet I'm constantly being forced into making precision jumps that break up the action. Is it meant to be more slow paced than it seems or am I just shit at the game?

>> No.4381683

When I was a kid I always thought the thing on the gong was a smiling guy with a mustache and little tufts of hair on the sides of his head. I still see it.

>> No.4381696

>>4381643
not him, but Croc is a slow-paced platformer, a lot of the jumps requires you to rotate Croc at a good angle to make the jumps, but luckily, the platforming isn't quick like Mario 64 for example.
Adding that you need to have patience in some of the levels and learn about using the quick turn and sidestep buttons, they're really useful, jumping to move to left or right is also very helpful.
As for charm, I like Croc mostly because every other mascot-platformer was trying to be hip or cool like Sonic, and Croc was just a cute game with cute characters.
