Ohohoho the original C1 was worse, trust me. Crash felt heavy as a tank and was really unresponsive, taking to long to move and not stopping when you needed. And you couldn't even save when you wanted.

The remake is great tho, and the physics are really good, it's just that the first game is hard as heck. If you want a nice learning curve, start with the third and make your way downwards until the first.

There's also the newly-rounded edges. Before, you either made a jump or you didn't. Like Mario, you could be 80% off the ledge but you're still safe as long as your toe is touching. Now, if you get to close to any ledge or platform, Crash has a tendency to slide off. It's more realistic but makes for a frustrating platforming experience.

Few people notice that this actually makes the game easier because you can jump while slipping out, making it extremely forgiving for when you jump too late, but killing you if your landing is sloppy (which will never happen if you exploit the former).
