Now repackaged as one of PlayStation's Greatest Hits, this top-selling game takes you away on a tropical island adventure that is filled with precarious enemies and challenging levels. Our spiky-haired hero Crash needs no weapons to survive the harsh jungle. Instead, he jumps, jogs, and spins his way through numerous lush and downright fun environments.
With 26 levels spanned across three tropical islands, Crash Bandicoot is sure to amuse old gamers as well as new. Crash must rescue his girlfriend, Tawna, from the evil clutches of Dr. Cortex. Along the way, he can gather fruit for extra lives, smash boxes for random prizes, and gather tokens that can be used for bonus rounds. Numerous big bosses block your path, which also includes more than a few risky jumps that require split-second timing. Crash Bandicoot's impressive graphics and strong gameplay have already won over many hard-core and casual gamers. While this PlayStation classic has already spawned two successful sequels, the original version remains a worthy purchase--particularly at the sub-$20 price. --Kasty Thomas
""Crash Bandicoot is the kind of game – and the kind of purchase – that makes one wish that time machines were an actual reality. As harsh as it may seem, there is nothing here that the two immediate sequels don’t do a million times better (so at the very least those games are worth your money) and ultimately show what an archaic piece of gaming history the original Crash Bandicoot has become.""

"Long gone are the times I used to swear and throw the remote control across the room... there was always a hole right next to a wooden crate, or a snake, or whatever, that Crash would run into. Yet, probably my favorite game."
