Yuk. The first time I played this, I had just finished a session of the original Crash Bandicoot on my PS3 (downloaded from the PSN store). I was staggered at how little the graphics had improved since then.

It's a forced-perspective 3D game - in other words one of those irritating 2D platformers that switches to camera views that make it difficult to tell how far the next gap is and whether or not your character has the ability to clear it.

Interaction with the game's enemies is completely inconsistent - some you can fight, others you can't - you don't seem to be able to jump on any of them as you could in the first Crash Bandicoot. In fact, I found that you don't need to engage with the enemy at all - you can simply run past them and they won't be able to follow you over the gaps.

My biggest problem with this game is that the gameplay is over 10 years old, the environments are extremely boring and generic and the central character has absolutely no character.

I couldn't really recommend this to anyone.
