Crash Bandicoot

Crash Bandicoot, Spyro's "brother" back during the PS1 days, what do you guys think about him and his games, and do you tend to compare his games to Spyro's?

Stormy · Oct 22, 2014 6:19 PM

I liked Crash, but I never got quite as into his games as I did with Spyro. I played Spyro first, so the track-like levels in Crash games seemed pretty limiting compared to Spyro's wide open, fully 3D worlds.

Outside the major Crash titles, I absolutely loved Crash Team Racing and Crash Bash, and I still play them sometimes now.

Crash Team Racing has so much re-playability, Bash though...it's a good game...but those pogo stick levels...ugh lol

Stormy · Oct 22, 2014 7:47 PM

I actually liked the pogo levels, haha. The worst ones for me were the pinball levels, especially Skyballs. Paranoia will remember, lol; despite having the game for like 10 years, we only completed our file a couple years ago because of that level.

SpyroGirl101 · Oct 22, 2014 7:57 PM

Those pogo stick levels drove me crazy too. I actually liked the pinball levels alright, but my absolute favorites are the polar bear levels! I love the noises they make when you lurch forward. Lol.

Mr. John · Oct 22, 2014 8:17 PM

Never played. Watched friends or Let's plays loved it though specially the bosses. And all challenges.

UpDownLeftWrite · Oct 22, 2014 8:26 PM

I love the 4-way pong games, but beating every game 3 times can get tiresome, not so much with the polar levels, those are quick, but the 4-way pong and the pogo levels drag... The crate crush levels are crate fun though...

Never played Crash Bash, but Crash Bandicoot Warped and CTR are still some of my favorite games.

Do you any of you know that the full version of Crash Bash is on the Year of the Dragon disc...and you can access all of the levels and stuff...

Go to the Crash Bash demo by pressing L1 + R2 + Square, then once at the main menu press:

left, right
left, right, right
left, right, right, right
left, right, right, right, right
left, right, right, right, right, right

There will be no confirmation sound, just make sure you put it in right, then enter Adventure mode...

At the warp room, pause, and you will see a new option called Cheat Menu...

This menu has an option to select any level except for Oxide and Warp Room 5, but everything before that is accessible...

You can also mess with the computer players as well with the menu...

The demo itself is an earlier build of the game, so there will be some visual differences with the game compared to the final, one hilarious example is Komodo Joe and Moe's icon in their boss fight being Bart and Homer Simpson... No joke...

The developer's forgot to remove the cheat from the demo, so you got two games for the price of one...

Anyhoo, thought I share this with anyone looking to try Crash Bash without buying it...even though you technically bought it, cause it's on the disc, so don't sue us Eurocom lol

No, I don't think that's true...

UpDownLeftWrite · Oct 23, 2014 2:17 AM

Trust me on this, it is true...

Huh, strange. Is the LXShadow mentioned here our LXShadow?

Also worth mentioning is that we completed that game to 120% or whatever it was, so that's probably why everybody else was ok with the ball levels. The levels that stick out the most for me were Skyballs and that race on the dolphins. The basic pinball levels weren't bad, but some of those relics, man...

Never understood what that was about, haha.

But yeah, I echo what Stormy said since we grew up with the same games. tongue I've finished Crash 1-3, and liked them, but they never had the same appeal as Spyro to me. Played a ton of CTR and Bash though! CTR is probably my favorite kart racer of all time, and it still holds up today.

UpDownLeftWrite · Oct 23, 2014 2:54 AM

Not sure if it is the same LXShadow, but it's most likely possible...unless it's an imposter...

LXShadow · Oct 23, 2014 11:51 AM

It's the same LXShadow; I lurk places. =P

I'm a big Crash fan, Crash 3: Warped was one of the first games I played. But then I discovered the Spyro demo on the disc and Spyro just won me over. smile I love Crash's characters but I think Spyro's gameplay and atmosphere shined out the most to me. (Although since my sisters and I were expecting a video demo, we didn't find this out until after five minutes of watching Spyro's idle animations. =P)

Mr. John · Oct 23, 2014 4:06 PM

The orange dude's awesome. Too bad. There won't probably be a new game based on old gameplay.

UpDownLeftWrite · Oct 23, 2014 5:54 PM

Really appreciate all the hacking stuff you do LXShadow. It's crazy to see all the stuff you can do with these games.

Do any of you think Crash is ever going to come back?

If he does come back, what kind of game do you think it would be?

...Skylanders: Crash's Adventure...

Stormy · Oct 23, 2014 6:13 PM

I thought they might make a Skylander based on Crash Bandicoot, but that obviously never happened. Like Spyro, I think the series has been dead for so long that there's probably not much chance of a revival right now.

Mr. John · Oct 23, 2014 6:44 PM

I wish Crash was in Skylanders, he could hae his Spin, Aku Aku, and other abbilities. Sadly he probably won't be get a revival like Stormy said. Least we got the games.

Crash Bandicoot 1-3. Instant gold!

Gekoncze · Nov 09, 2014 10:27 PM

confirmed :3

They were the best.

So a Crash Bandicoot thread? Well like I said when I introduced myself, I'm more well known in the Crash Bandicoot community.

What do you guys think should be in a new Crash game? What do you guys think of any of the canceled titles? Do you guys think Crash will ever return?

Cancelled titles? I didn't know there were cancelled titles.

i too can confirm that this works. the cheat menu is underneath the normal menu. nice! i'll have to try the other levels sometime without the cheats (like "freeze time", "no death" or something) activated. tongue
