The Greatest Crash Bandicoot Game You've Ever Played

I think it's pretty obvious that Crash Bandicoot is my favorite game character and best game series of all time. So I want to ask all of you girls and boys, if you ever played this platform classic, what Crash Bandicoot game was the most memorable for you? And you can choose both Playstation and Nintendo games.






My personal favorite is Crash Bandicoot: Warped from 1998. This is not just the best Crash Bandicoot game I ever played, this is also my favorite game of all times. Why? Because it got everything, from cool and entertaining platform levels to awesome soundtrack. When I first played this game, I was like 6 or 7 years old, but even now I can't find any lacks for this absolute classic.

For Nintendo, my personal favorite is Crash Bandicoot 2: N-Tranced.

Same here, Crash 3: Warped is the first one I played and is my favourite.

eh...i tried playing a few of the older games in this franchise again a while back as i hadn't played them in years and sadly, playing them again wound up giving me much the same feeling as watching a movie i once thought was great when i was a kid. that feeling SUCKS!

a lot of the movies i've seen in the past, unless they're still to this day considered to be really good, aren't all that good at all compared to newer movies. much like that, these games just don't seem nearly as good now as i once thought they were. this is all partly due to how i feel about replaying games in general and that also really sucks.

imo: replaying a game (ESPECIALLY a RPG of ANY type) is little to no fun at all and holds little to no challenge. why? because you've already seen all the game has to offer, all of the story line, solved all the puzzles, finished all the sidequests/missions/etc. and so its more or less pointless to replay it unless its one you find really fun/entertaining as theres just nothing left to do. or to put this another way, how boring do you think it would be to relive the exact same day over and over with nothing ever changing? i'd say it'd be quite boring indeed. with me, its kinda like that when it comes to replaying games i've already beaten.

pardon my ranting but thats probably why i have no specific favorite game but rather a few favorite franchises i keep up with. megaman, much as i despise what capcom has done with the last few games, theres a high quality fan game or 2 and mighty no. 9 to look forward to so not all hope is lost for the franchise yet. sonic the hedgehog, and mario despite not having the latest nintendo consoles/handhelds for the newest games. i'd have metroid on my list of faves but after metroid prime 2...or whatever that last game for the wii was (don't remember right offhand), i kinda lost track of that franchise somewhere along the line. >.>

Shots fired? Why?

Crash 3, Spyro 3, 'ts all good.

...like, really, REALLY good.

Im only playing. :wacko:

I rented all of the Crash's when I was growing up and beat most of the, I believe. They just weren't worth buying imo. Good games, but also clunky to some extent and the restricted views disappointed me. Yes I understand they are linear levelled games. I guess I would have to say Crash 1 is my favorite, but not at all near my top 10 or even 20 favorite games of all time.

Crash 3 of course. To bad that I'm not good enough to beat time trials on all levels and unlock last 3 stages.

Among Naughty Dog' games it's Warped. Among other Crash games it's Twinsanity.

I'm also the big fan of Spyro, and I think that both Crash and Spyro can be put side by side, because they are both platforming masterpieces. But I do like Crash Bandicoot a little more, because it got sentimental value for me. My favorite Spyro game is Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage and it's also one of my favorite games of all times.

Spyro the Dragon is also pretty good, but Spyro 3 was a bit hard to digest, due to 5 additional characters.

We can say that Crash and Spyro are like brothers.

Crash 2 is actually the first one I played but I also played quite a bit of Warped. Both are so freaking good in my eyes so I can never really choose one or the other. Also, Spyro is an excellent series up until A Hero's Tail...then things sorta went down the crapper :(

I despise Crash bandicoot. All I wanted was Resident Evil 2 and what do I get? A stupid talking rat fighting a midget with Jaundice.

Then why did you decide to even pay this thread any mind? -_-

All of them haha, actually its pretty tough i really loved all the ones on ps1 including bash and the racing games and the first one as ps2 as a kid(despite the longest load times in my life in that game) but if i to pick one it would be a close tie between 2-3. 3 was fun bc of the powers and better graphics but 2 had some pretty fun lvls. thought all the games had their share of awesome lvls. Here's to hoping that crash will come back on the ps4 with the nostalgia and fun of the first few games but better graphics and such. =]

I was just waiting when someone will mention the notorious Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex for PS2. It definitely got the longest load time ever for a Crash game, closely tied with Crash Nitro Kart. The game itself is very interesting, but it's also very criticized.

It's very similar to Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly, another game series downfall.

The first ones good enough for me 8-D

Yep I enjoyed the game as a kid as it was one of the first games on got on ps2, i was so excited for a new crash game in all its ps2 glory and it looked good and played good but the load times, making a kid wait 5 minutes is torture lol i think i played nitro carts(first of the racing crash games on ps2 right?) but i don't remember the load times so I'm not sure. Oh how i yurn for a crash reboot that is new and improved in its own ways but stays true to its much more amazing and fun earliest 3 games. seen some crash of the titans game play and i feel they were going for a ratchet and clank or jak feel and that's not Crash at all.

Sony, bring Crash and Spyro back goddammit!

I really hope that they do. Let's just hope they don't decide to do what Vivendi did to both franchises -_-

I really like Crash Nitro Kart on the PS2. It even has a anti-gravity system similar to Mario Kart 8, but on Nitro Kart this mechanic is underused.

I liked to play Crash Bandicoot: Warped!

I know I shouldn't have dug up a dead thread, but......
They DID in fact reboot and bring back BOTH Spyro and Crash.
Sadly, but in a smart decision, the respective franchises decided to cut their losses (which I can't really put as logical, seeing as I liked Crash of the Titans, Crash - Mind over Mutant, and The Legend of Spyro Trilogy. Then again, all customers aren't me.) when the sales were declining. Nostalgia isn't all it's cracked up to be, but it's nice to reminisce.

I also put Crash Bandicoot - Wrath of Cortex as my favorite.

How's the loading time? :pwacko:

I'd say Crash Bandicoot 3 is one of the best.

Crash Team Racing!!111111

Ok not really. I'd say Crash Bandicoot 3 probably.

I actually prefer 2 over 3, however 3 started the usual theme song (just like how ever since Sonic 3, the "level clear" jingle has been standard); 2 had more Bonus areas and whatnot.
Crash 1 was, and still is, the hardest, over the limited amount of saves and gem collection (no deaths).
CTR will always be a favorite due to various reasons (Multi-Tapped battle arenas!!!).
Bash was hit-or-miss, especially since NaughtyDog gave the series to Universal. For some odd reason, why wasn't the items and boss clears not 0.5%? Game maxed out at 200%!!!
Wrath of Cortex was the only good 6th-gen game, but only loaded as an ISO, not retail (LOADING...).

I have to say that Crash Bandicoot 2 has more nostalgia for me than Crash Bandicoot 3. CB2 was the first Playstation game I ever played, and it holds more memories for me. I will say that CB3 is a lot better in terms of the different moves that Crash can pull off and adding the Bazooka as a weapon he can use is pretty awesome, but CB2 just has something for me that CB3 doesn't although I can't really explain it.
