The thing that's so great about it is that it's so difficult. I love when games are challenging, and Crash 1 is significantly more difficult than 3D platformers usually are. It's a throwback to good and challenging NES side-scrollers.

The gameplay is also like a 2D Mario game but in 3D. The world is not open at all.

If you say so

It had awkward controls and a terrible save system

2 was superior in every way

I only played the remake and I hate the perspective too much to even continue it. Best 3D platformer is either one of the Marios or Ratchet and Clanks.

Wrong.

This adds to the game's challenge without being unfair. Basically the map is like a Mario overworld, and you have to get to a checkpoint before you can save. And the actual levels are VERY difficult. So it's a major accomplishment every time you reach one of these checkpoints.

Um

Crash 1 was not a 3d platformer. It was a 2.5d platformer. Or more accurately, a precursor to 2.5d.

Mario 64 was 3d. Spyro was 3d. Bk was 3d. Crash was never 3d.

I beat the first 3 Crash games last year and it wasn't very fun. It was more frustrating than anything else. I think the best 3D Platformer is Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time

Only people who only had a Playstation could think this. In retrospect, it sucked. It wasn't even the best Playstation platformer. Spyro was way better

had both a PS1 and N64, was hella disappointed by nearly all N64 platformers compared to their SNES counterparts and found Crash/Spyro/etc way more rewarding

Crash 2 (3 is filled with half-baked ideas) is a better candidate and even then, you still have stiff competition.

It's 2.5D and the backtracking, poor hit detection, qnd save system were a problem even back when it was released.

You think Crash 1 is difficult? Try Crash 4.

crash is 100% 3D and no level demonstrates it better than Generator Room

but here's an open testing area, too.

The PS1 had better platformers than the N64.

There's difficult and then there's unfair. Crash 4 falls into the latter.

I just finished it for the first time a week ago. It is OK but definitely not even a Top 10 for 3D platformers anymore.

Note - I played it on the Crash N'Sane Trilogy if that version is different from PS1.

Hard disagree. Beat 1-3 and the PS2 one that would crash (not intended) on the loading screen without stopping the animation thats supposed to indicate the game hasnt crashed (might be 4). The games felt slow and clunky even back when they, Spyro and Mario 64 were the only decent 3D platformers in existence.

I hate the perspective and the aesthetics too, so its an all around meh series for me. Not terrible, but nothing Id ever want to revisit. To each their own though.

PS: The segments where youre forced to run toward the camera are unfair and the epitome of memorization gaming trash.

i like it but it's got a lot of problems, some of which were addressed in its sequels. i think both 2 and 3 are better than it tbh
