The controls are ass and the gameplay is pretty simple and basic but the graphics have that ps1 charm and the soundtrack slaps. I love the creepy underwater theme .

Only played through the first island.
A solid 6/10 so far. Hasn't aged nearly as good as CASH Bandy, Spyro or Mario 64

The castle level with the cookie monster dude, that level trying to 100% gives me nightmares.

Well this game is quickly becoming a 4/10

The camera and controls are just nowhere near good enough. The respawning enemies are terrible, the enemy and boss design is boring, the level design are nothing special and the music I praised gets really repetitive because they just play remixes alot during the main stages.

I'm to the sand island.

It has a tougher camera boss than Mario 64.

This game was totally decent when I played it back in the day iirc. Not good enough to be like "dude play this game" but good enough to not say "oh shit avoid that" if someone really wanted to give it a shot.

I remember the lady bug boxing ring boss fight lol.

But yeah I remember it being mediocre even for the time.

Would that do much? The game was basically tank controls IIRC. Camera is designed to always be directly behind Croc.

Why is bonus level in world 3 a race stage. Poorly designed piece of trash.

It's not bad, I still enjoy it

Croc 2 ditches the tank controls so you may enjoy that a lot more

That would be cool. I think a Croc remake with non-tank controls could work well.

I remember playing the game a ton during my childhood.

This game was one of the first things I felt critical towards. Like, I played the game and was like "Oh. So, some things are not good?"

It is. You can also notice it by how the bosses get bigger.

It's interesting to see what other people would do with an IP if they could use it.

That backpack looks very much like Yoshi's saddle.

I like to believe that the reason there haven't been any more Croc games in 23 years is because Baron Dante made boots out of him.

Beat it at 96% because that's the highest the percentage goes on the menu because of bad game design (doesn't save after you beat the final true boss)

It's honestly a pretty bad game although I can see how kids who played it back in the day would have nostalgia and appreciate it today, it's cute, looks and sound great but that's all the good I can say.

The camera and controls don't work half as a well as they need to in the later levels and nothing feels satisfying. It kinda feels like playing Tomb Raider without jump delay which doesn't work in this game at all.
The hit boxes are wonky, the respawning enemies, the level design starts to feel bland after a while, stomping boxes slows the game down even more (why can't croc just hit them open?)
The boss design is pitiful and they also seem to mostly follow the formula of running away from it until they tire so you can hit them. Rinse and repeat 3 times. The camera is the worst here because as you're running away you can't actually see what the boss is doing so you usually get hit by some charge or projectile move.

Basically a 4/10 game.

So the game dropped from a 6/10 to a 4/10 as you went on? I guess you were too deep to quit when the game wore out its welcome, huh?

That underwater theme is great, btw. It sounds like the Danny Elfman score from Batman Returns.
