Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy is a nearly flawless remaster of a mixed bag that I'm still incredibly fond of, even after so many deaths.

Ultimately, I can only say I had fun going back to Crash Bandicoot, even if I found myself wanting to toss my controller at certain points and that notorious sky bridge level is still one of the absolute worst pieces of interactive crap you could ever suffer.

Crash Bandicoot: N. Sane Trilogy is an incredibly well done remaster from the ground up and shows that while the first Crash Bandicoot may have aged poorly, Cortex Strikes Back and Warped are incredibly fun games, and being able to play them all with stunning new visuals and as Coco is the cherry on top to a fantastic collection.

Vicarious Visions did a great job in preserving the original vibe of the Bandicoot saga while giving a brand new contemporary look to the games. Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy is a great journey through the PSX age without the aging effect, and it's a solid comeback for Crash. The three platform games are still fun today, and Warped is as amazing as it was almost 20 years ago. Maybe the design of the first, iconic, chapter is a little bit old-fashioned, but overall the collection has a great value both for nostalgic players and newcomers.

Fans of Crash Bandicoot haven't had the best of luck in recent years. In fact, the last good game with the iconic platform hero was the Chrash Bandicoot 3: Warped for the first Playstation. This remaster includes the first three games, and adding shiny new graphics along with several improvements. A must-buy if you loved the series back in the 90's.

The series is an important part of PlayStation (and gaming) history. Activision has done a lovely job of recycling Crash's best games and letting us all enjoy them all over again.

The N.Sane Trilogy is the epitome of what is right with the gaming industry. Seeing Activision bring back a fan-favorite game, and giving it the proper work it deserves is awesome.

Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy is a must buy collection of cult-classic games which, thanks to the efforts of Vicarious Visions, looks great. The artists did a great job adapting the style of the original at high resolution. Sadly, some outdated elements of game design has not been processed by modern standards, but even so the project manages to bring a lot of positive emotions 20 years after the original release on the first PlayStation.

A beautiful remaster of the three original Crash games. There's plenty of nostalgic memories to be had, though frustrations with the controls lead to frustrations.

When anything and everything isn't actively trying to kill you, being able to replay Crash Bandicoot's first three adventures is a nostalgic trip to when platformers were first exploring the possibilities of 3D and none were more experimental than the Bandicoot himself.

If you have spent hours and hours in front of a CRT TV, grumbling, starting over and over one of the levels of the first three Crash Bandicoot to complete it 100%, you can go straight on the N.Sane Trilogy with your eyes closed. And if you've never played a Crash Bandicoot in your entire life, you can go on it too.

Tough as nails but just as tight as you remember, Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy is tasty trip down memory lane. The visual upgrade is nothing short of spectacular, and while the design of these iconic platformers are firmly fixed in the 90s, they're surprisingly playable today. This is a comprehensive compendium of a trilogy that set PlayStation on its way, and while not everyone will care for the old-school sensibilities, Vicarious Visions has pitched this package just right – doubters must now dine on Wumpa pie.

Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy brings back three iconic games from the first days of 3D platformers and they surely are delightful to play with an updated visual outlook. Thanks to their identical gameplay mechanics and to the amount of content, it's nearly impossible not to have fun while playing the games included in this trilogy.
