Overall this is great package and I can recommend it to anyone whether they grew up with the bandicoot or are meeting him for the first time. I’m more optimistic about his future because of how well Vicarious Visions and Activision handled this remake and hoping we get a similar remake for Crash Team Racing and maybe even the original three Insomniac developed Spyro the Dragon games. There may be a few issues but Crash Bandicoot has never looked better. Naughty Dog’s hard work is showcased in its full modern potential and it looks and plays fantastic.

Now available on the Nintendo Switch, Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy is less beautiful than the original PlayStation 4 and the other new platforms, but is still an excellent experience that you can play on the go. A must for nostalgic players or platforming fans.

Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy on the Switch is somehow a match made in heaven. It hits all the right nostalgic notes while still revealing the flaws we all grew to tolerate if not love from the original series. Crash 2 and 3 are close to if not old-school platforming masterpieces and returning and new players alike will find special pleasure in being able to take this game wherever you go.

The insanely difficult platforming found in the collection certainly won't be for everybody, but there is no doubt that Crash is still every bit as charming as he was back in the day in the Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy. If you happened to miss out on this one last year due to the PS4 exclusivity, there is no reason not to check it out this time around.

There’s no question that Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy is a very welcome sight on a platform not owned by Sony. The Switch version has exceeded my expectations in almost every conceivable way and Crash still remains one of the finest examples of platform gaming from the 32bit era. A must own.

I'm really glad that Activision and Vicarious Visions ported N. Sane Trilogy to the Nintendo Switch; because playing the game on the go, especially that the game has arcade mechanics, is definitely a kicker and worthwhile.

Crash has returned after 20 years to be once again a guest on you PS4's. in this game. with the creativity of its developers visuals of the game look really stunning. gameplay has its own backlashes and get tiresome after a few hours. in some levels that difficulty of the levels rise to their peak you have to try your best to beat them. and after you turn off the console you will miss Crash again and tears will run down on your cheeks.

Visually, the Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy is the most impressive remaster I have ever seen! The leap from PS1 to PS4 graphics is truly fascinating. You get three already awesome games made even better – including new bonus content – for only $39.99. That’s a really great deal you shouldn’t miss.

With the addition of the super hard levels which never made it into the PlayStation discs first time around, if you can grit your teeth through those ludicrous flaws, then this is a must own game for the Nintendo system.

The N. Sane Trilogy is a perfect remake of the first three Crash Bandicoot games. The graphics are great, the sound and music is well known for veterans and the gameplay is as hard as it was many years ago.

A solid recreation of the original games, though some of the games are modified a bit the overall experience is still very enjoyable, though far more difficult than expected.

If you've never played or at least tried the adventures of this likeable marsupial, then this is your best opportunity to reminiscence about the good old console times. Some of the gameplay mechanics got significantly older during years, however Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy can still offer you great platforming fun.

Crash Bandicoot: The N. Sane Trilogy marks the successful return of this legendary franchise. It will satisfy all the owners of the first PlayStation and shows the current generation that the adventures of this bandicoot have something to offer even after so many years.

If I’m being completely honest, I believe that in the trade-off of graphics for portability, portability will win almost every time, especially with the quick and simple level design that Crash has.

Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy is an excellent collection that is hard to blame. Perhaps some upgradeable scenarios in lighting and colors, some themes of the remastered soundtrack that slack off the originals and the still high difficulty of the first game that can frustrate more than one today despite the facilities implemented. The two extra levels are difficult, challenging and original. If Crash Bandicoot is back, I think he can't be in better hands than in Vicarious Visions.

Though its old-school sensibilities may prove more divisive with new players, the N. Sane Trilogy will meanwhile be an easy sell to long-starved fans; it’s a gleeful, often infuriatingly difficult nostalgia trip that they won’t be able to stop playing.
