Your character and 3 other characters go at it in little mini games. There are seven stages and in each stage, there are 4 different mini games. One of the mini games has you ride around on baby polar bears on ice with a sleeping penguin in the middle. You throw TNT boxes and crates at each other while trying to avoid waking up the penguin. If you do wake it up, you are in trouble.
Controls are pretty good.
Sometimes you acidentally fall into a hole or something like that. I had no problem with the gameplay at all. The graphics are real good for a playstation game. The Crash character models are done really well. Every once in a while, it will slow down, but not often.
