Part two of the bundle completed, now to stick the landing. The original blueprint was refined and new locales such as The Antarctic and Egypt added a more global flavour. Things only improve when heading into Cortex Strikes Back and Warped. Nevertheless, all the trademark platforming is set out in this first installment with a fresh lick of paint. Time trials, as well as the ability to replay all levels as Coco Bandicoot, also add a welcome level of replayability in the linear first outing. Most importantly, that improvement hasn't come at the cost of playability, with controls as tight as they have always been, punishing mistakes but never unfairly causing failure. For the nostalgia lovers, this is where most time will be spent, with the original experience recreated and improved upon in every way. Sane Trilogy, containing the first three PS1 titles remastered and updated. The real meat on the marsupial bone (Crash is a marsupial, isn't he?) is the N. In terms of a collection, it's off to a good start.

This is especially frustrating in the aforementioned adventure mode, where first place is the only path to progression.

The team has really tapped into accessibility for all ages and abilities, and much like its bigger Nintendo relative, is all the better for it.Д¬TR is a great recreation of a PS classic (as is the case with every title in the bundle) with the only real gripe being the rubberbanding allowing for some frankly cruel finish line shenanigans. 'Easy to play, difficult to master' is the ethos of Crash Team Racing, so there's fun to be had for both newcomers and veterans. The adventure mode still provides a suitable challenge from start to finish for people willing to put the hours in, and for those looking for a quick thrill, fast races and short challenges are available. The difference with Crash, however, is whereas Mario stuck to what he knew, providing expansive 3D platforming experiences, the PS mascot has taken a different approach, choosing to throw a racer into the mix.Д¬TR has already scored highly with the Cubed team and revisiting it in this collection shows why. A certain plumber did the same quite recently and swept the board with a 10/10 from the Cubed team. Its greatness is built on the sum of its parts, but with all titles being available singularly, it's hard not to look for a favourite.
