“There's two ways to play this game: 1) You play through each level, get some boxes, you die a few times, you finish the story and uninstall when you're done, it's fun. Or 2) You try to get 106% and go through one of the…”
“This game feels like my childhood when the first three games came out on ps1 along with spyro, its very fun and relaxing at times (like some times). I recommend it full 100@ if you find it on sale.”

“I loved the original Crash 1-3 from PS1 era where I didn't even have a memory stick to save my game so I had to do the whole crash 1 in one sitting, somehow, in my elementary school days. A few years back I 100%ed…”
