Description
Crash Bandicoot, the poster marsupial for PlayStation, is back. In this third installment of the popular action-game series, Dr. N. Trophy has built a time machine to collect the gems and crystals dropped by Dr. Neo Cortex. Joining this dastardly group is Dr. Cortex's boss Uka Uka, a freaky floating mask that is out to crush Crash. It is up to Crash and his sister, Coco, to conquer this threatening threesome and grab the goodies. Warped offers 25 levels of challenging solo action. If you have a dual shock controller, this game takes full advantage of its vibration feature, which is especially fun when a dinosaur is chasing Crash. The music is appropriate to the action and the controls are easy to use. But it's the graphics that make this a stand-alone title. A team of artists worked on this game to design seamless movement that is more like an interactive cartoon than a game. Novice gamers will enjoy this title for its ease of movement and challenging gameplay. Hardcore gamers will appreciate its hidden secrets and shortcuts. And how can you go wrong with Arabian cities, underwater worlds, medieval times, menacing frogs, pirate-head cannonballs, and creepy scorpions? Crash Bandicoot Warped is a goofy game with enough fun features to satisfy both diehard and beginning gamers. --Kasty Thomas Pros: Superior graphics Dual-shock capabilities fully utilized Hours of gaming Cons: None!

Quite possibly the best in the Crash seriesCrash:Warped is, in my opinion the best in the series. The game is not incrediably huge, but it has alot to offer. Intelligent level designs, whacked-out bossess, and eye-pleasing graphics await you on your journeey. This is a journey that will keep you playing for awhile, since that after you initially beat a level and get the crystal, you can go back and play the level in a time-trial. If you get through the level in under a certain amount of time, you can get other rewards that can unlock more levels and playable characters after you beat the game. And, with the $19.99 price tag, it is more than worth the money. If you have this game and really, really like it, i suggest you dish out $20 bucks and pick up Sypro the Dragon, also in the greatest hits promotion. In the end, I suggest that you buy these 2 games for the price of one new game, and you'll be playing for quite awhile. Have fun!
Crash Bandicoot 3 is a great, fun, challenging game !Crash Bandicoot 3 Warped is the best Crash game out of the series. It is not an easy game that you will beat in a day. This game is challenging which makes it fun. There are many different vehicles and animals to ride like a motercycle, airplane, waverunner, tiger and more. It is really fun to race for first place to get the gems. You play in different periods of time like Egyptian periods and more. The graphics are unbelievably realistic.If you like this game I would also recommend Crash Bandicoot 1 and 2. Crash Bandicoot 3 is a game you just have to try!
Crash's best gameB. E Jackson
I am shocked and *very* pleased to report that Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped is a DRASTIC improvement over the original Crash Bandicoot.As you may have heard, I am definitely NOT a fan of the very first Crash Bandicoot game released for the Sony Playstation in 1996. I am, however, incredibly surprised to find that Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped is actually a really fun adventure game that may have been slightly overlooked at the time of its release because of the seemingly never-ending amount of wonderful games released for the Playstation in 1998.Just so you know, I can't compare Warped to Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back because I haven't played that one. I can only compare Warped to the original Crash Bandicoot.Before playing Crash 3, I was almost CERTAIN that Crash Bandicoot was an overrated video game character because my first and only exposure to Crash was the very first game. I thought for sure Crash Bandicoot was either a Mario or an Earthworm Jim rip-off, and didn't deserve all the attention it got.For 10 years the original was the only Crash Bandicoot game I knew, and truth be told, it was a pretty average game because every stage featured basically the same uninspiring, repetitive island environment where the object was to run to the end of every stage collecting berries and smashing all the boxes as a way to earn more lives and receive a better overall percentage.Simply put, Crash's very first outing was BORING. It desperately needed variety. Walking through island/jungle stages all the time can only provide so much fun before it inevitably gets boring. The creators of Crash Bandicoot must have realized how boring this formula was because Warped does just the opposite- Warped features nothing BUT creativity. In Warped every stage certainly does NOT have the same feel. You will encounter something drastically different in every stage. I like that.The main objective of Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped is to find the purple gem found in each of the 25 stages of the game. You HAVE to find all 25 purple gems otherwise the game won't allow you to fight the boss at the end of the world you're in. For example, if you're in World 4, and can't find the purple gem in stage 3, you won't be allowed to face the boss at the end of that world. You're stuck there until you find that darn purple gem. Once you find the gem, and face and defeat the boss, you move on to the next world and repeat the process of collecting one purple gem per level and face the boss. By the way, there's 5 worlds total and 5 stages in each world. That comes to 25 stages total.The amount of creativity that went into each of the 25 stages is simply incredible. Unlike the first Crash Bandicoot game where you mainly just spin around through a jungle environment breaking boxes and jumping over cracks in the ground, Warped offers a LOT more in the way of variety. In Warped you will encounter a few motorcycle racing stages (where you're required to get first place so you can receive the purple gem), a couple underwater stages (with VERY neat-looking backgrounds and deadly, puffy fish swimming about), a couple levels where you're steering an airplane and required to shoot down blimps and other airplanes, and not to mention those tricky, tiger-riding stages.Oh, and I HAVE to mention the ultra-cool futuristic robot stages (which require near-perfect jumping patterns in order to complete). The Jet Ski stages are really fun because you're located on top of the ocean and I guarantee you will have the time of your life jumping over ramps while avoiding those floating bombs. Yup, it's awesome. This is what makes Crash Bandicoot 3 so great- you won't know WHAT to expect until you enter the level.Probably the worst thing about Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped is the fact that the game offers little in the way of challenge. That's not to say the game is a cakewalk, either. People who think Warped is an easy game are only comparing the challenge to the previous two Crash Bandicoot games. If you compare Warped to say, I don't know, Spyro the Dragon, it's not such an easy game then. It's definitely not a hard game either. You WILL beat it. I think the challange is comparable to Super Mario Bros. 1, the old NES classic.The one thing I find challenging in Warped is the boss battle in World 3 where you're required to jump over bombs and laser beams heading in your direction. This is one case where practice doesn't necessarily make perfect. Also the second airplane stage can be a challenge if you don't bother shooting down the enemy planes.One thing about Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped that IS incredibly easy is the object of finding those purple gems. Most of the time you can NOT miss those gems, because you basically walk right into them on your way to reaching the end of the stage. I mean, they are always RIGHT THERE. RIGHT in front of you!After you complete a stage, you can always go back to it and the computer will then give you a new option to complete the level in a certain amount of time. Finishing the stage in a certain amount of time is actually quite hard. It means you *really* have to take off running and not stop for a single moment to smash a box or spin-attack an enemy or ANYTHING. It means you have to run run RUN! Just so you know, completing the stages under a certain time is NOT a requirement. It's entirely up to you if you'd like to accept the challenge. I'm too much of a wimp to accept it, personally.I like how you can save your game after you complete a stage. You can actually complete one stage and go to the save room, if you wish. Very convenient. Oh, and get this- if during the middle of the game you decide you want to stop playing and shut off the Playstation, when you come back to the game later all the lives you collected up to that point will STILL be there! I can't think of any other game that will save all the lives you collect. Speaking of lives, they are *so easy* to find in Warped that you probably can collect up to 45 of them. That's a lot, and you will probably need them because, even though the challenge ranges from low to medium, your first time through the game won't be THAT simple.When Crash gets hit or smashed by something, I think it's funny the way he yells "whoa!" It reminds me of that comedian Carrot Top.The reason Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped isn't going to receive a 5-star rating from me is because of the same problem found in Spyro the Dragon- in the flying stages (in this case, the airplane stages) when you hit down on the D-pad the airplane flies UP, and hitting up will make the airplane go DOWN. The game company made the direction the wrong way! Oops. At least when you steer the airplane left, it will go left. The same with right. Unfortunately, many game makers have made, and continue to make, the same mistake. It needs to be corrected once and for all.I realize having your airplane fly up when you hit "down" on the d-pad is an example of realism since that's more or less how REAL airplanes operate, but the thing is, Crash Bandicoot isn't supposed to be about realism since it's just a platform adventure game, and furthermore, it still doesn't change the fact that up and down are reversed. This adds unncessary frustration and challenge in learning something that definitely feels backwards.There's a toxic underwater stage in Donkey Kong Country 3 where the controls are reversed as a way to add challenge, and in my mind at least, having the controls reversed when trying to operate the airplane in this game definitely falls under the same category of unnecessary challenge.I hope you buy this game for your Sony Playstation and experience a fun time.

Fun, FUn, FUN!L. Powles
The original Crash game was very hard to beat. It was still classic. Then Crash 2 came out, with several hard levels and tough bosses. Then out came this one, Crash Warped. This is the cult classic of the series. I have beaten the entire game, and never once been disappointed because of too much or too little challenge. I even managed to get a 104% file with the help of my brother and a twerp i know. There are two secret levels. They are Eggipus Rex and Hot Coco. To get to Eggipus Rex, you go into time trails in the Dino Might! level. Then, board the yellow gem platform. Keep running until you find the second pterydactyl (the triceratops will be already chasing you) and let it take you away. To get into the Hot Coco level, simply crash into the road sign with an alien on it in the Road Crash level. This game is a classic and every PS One or PS2 owner needs to have it. Was this review helpful? OF COURSE IT WAS!
Good VarietyWhen I played the original Crash Bandicoot I was impressed with the graphics and some of the gameplay, but not much more. When I played Crash Team Racing I loved it! It was easy to play and the various levels made the game more interesting.When I saw this game I didn't think it would be that great, but it's a good game. If you liked the racing in Crash Team Racing, you'll also like the various scenarios in this game. You get to ride a tiger, a motorcycle, and you even get to ride some sort of sword fish underwater. In addition, various other Crash-only stages are added. For the price of the game, I would definitely recommend adding this one to your collection of titles.
Great Game! I can't stop playing!S. Handley
This is the best action game for the Playstation that I have ever played. During the game, you play and Crash and his sister Coco. Their goal is to compete 25 levels to get all of the crystals needed to defeat Neo Cortex. For every five levels there is also a boss that must be defeated. Defeating each boss gives Crash a new 'power move' that will be needed in upcoming levels. There are also five 'bonus' levels in the game. The levels have Crash and Coco running, swimming, flying planes and spaceships, and riding tigers, jetskis, dinosaurs, and harleys. For an additional challenge, you can try to get the one or two gems that are found on each level. This usually requires smashing all of the boxes found on the level. For an even greater challenge, you can try to get the relic found on each level by racing thru the level under a specified amount of time.Warning! This game is very addictive! I can't stop playing until I get all of the crystals, gems, and relics. Even though my goal is to complete the game, it's entertaining to watch all of the different ways Crash can die (see what happens when a frog catches you or when you get stuck by the porcupine fish). The game offers much variety which keeps it very interesting, but is still easy to learn because of the limited number of controls. If you ever get stuck and can't figure out how to get a crystal, gem, or relic, there are several walkthrus that can be found on the web. I highly recommend buying this game. I can't imagine anybody not liking it, unless they just like the hardcore shooting games like Quake (hey...in this game, Crash has a bazooka). If you like this game and racing games, I also highly recommend Crash Team Racing (CTR). I can't wait until the new Crash Bandicoot game comes out for the PS2.
