3.0 out of 5 stars
Not again..., 14 Jul 2005
The platform world is a strange one indeed. Personally I think they represent all that is bad about the games industry. While the graphics may have improved, every platformed I've seen in the last 5 years seems to have been a clone of the others.This unfortunately is no different. While the move into fully 3D platform environments is a welcome change to the generic side scroller of the past, I've yet to see any game that utilises it to any great degree, this one certainly doesn't. The gameplay will be horribly familiar to anyone whoose played a previous Crash game, even moments when Crash and Cortex are paired up will remind you of previous levels in previous games. However, there is a silver lining. While gameplay is nothing new, the addition of Cortex as a playable character and an increased attempt at plot makes this far more entertaining than previous games of the series. Cortex's voice acting is especially entertaining, and the sound and music through out the game are well done. Graphically the game is nothing special, although the FMV sequences that scatter the game are well done. Perhaps the games main saving grace is the humour through out. From in game slap stick (anyone who has played a previous Crash game should get instant gratification from throwing Cortex off cliffs...), cut scene jokes, to frankly weird situations (especially one that occurs just before you Humiliskate with Cortex). Overall, a reasonbly enjoyable game, if nothing new in the platform world...
