Having hired this game for three nights to try before I bought it, I was ready to buy after the first twenty minutes of play. It is just challenging enough, (but not insanely difficult), there are lots of hilarious cut-scenes, (the only annoying thing about them is you can't skip most of them)and there are lots of huge 3d worlds to explore. If you have played Crash Bandicoot before, you need to have this game, and if not...You STILL need to have this game. It's miles better than the others. It is fun for all ages. (My Mum plays it with me!)So on the whole a HUGE thumbs up! WARNING: HIGHLY ADDICTIVE!!
