Over 20 years ago, Naughty Dog created a game that, despite its simple design, became one of the best-selling PlayStation titles of all time. The talk is of course Crash Bandicoot, the crazy, mutated bag roof (No, crash is not a coyote).
In his condition, the main antagonist of the series, who is ridiculed by the scientific community, wants to create an animal armies on the Australian chain of islands in order to seize the world's dominion; With crash as general. But what the crazy hero does not like at all is the fact that the crazy doctor wants to experiment with his girlfriend Tawna - and so he sets out to cross Cortex 'nasty plans. To do that, Crash has to fight through daredevil levels, which are spiked with all sorts of traps and opponents.
Good thing our hero has superhuman powers and can sweep like a tornado around his own axis. So it is possible for you to crush enemies and crates, and the hurled adversaries can with some luck bring even more with them. In some crushable crates, Crash finds voodoo masks that protect him from a single enemy attack. If you collect three at a time, you become invulnerable. On the way, you can snap up Wumpa fruits, which can jump an entirely life-like genre with one hundred pieces. Be particularly attentive and find all the coins hidden in a stage, beckons you a bonus round, in which you can open secret level sections.
The level of difficulty of the three Jump 'n Runs should not be underestimated, especially the jump behavior is just not easy to calculate at the beginning and provides for some frustrating section repeats. Most of the time you are in the game in the linear 3D-level. Famous are also the sections, where Crash runs directly on you and is pursued in the best Indiana Jones style by a gigantic rock clump.
If the first part is loosened at most by one or the other 2D passage, the second and third game have much more variety to offer. In Crash Bandicoot: Cortex Strikes Back and Crash Bandicoot: Warped, our hero learns some new skills, and riding, motorcycling, jet skiing or scuba diving playfully, just like the often crazy Bossfights mood.
At least since his appearance as a retro-show in Uncharted 4: A Thief's End, it was clear that the time for a comeback from Crash Bandiccot was ripe. After all, his reputation was a little bit shattered after the adventures of the naughty hero continued in the years after the PSone with a rather successful success of various developer studios. In addition to his performance in the last Skylanders part, the remake of the legendary first three games follows. And doing so was much less easy than imagining.
The developers of Vicarious Visions could not access the original assets and the source code, but had to create the games from scratch and recreate the 75 levels. This succeeded in an extremely charming way. So you are now presented instead of pixelated textured polygons detailed and crisp optics, which on a PlayStation 4 Pro a 4K image with 30 pictures a second. In the games, however, almost nothing has changed. However, you can already play as a character from the first game with Crash's sister Coco.
