Although Crash is simple to learn, it isn't easy, and it gets harder and harder as you go. But it's one of the best so far this year, and a real contender for Top-10 honors. An odd name for a shooter, and that's all this is. Wave after wave of alien creatures come at you in stage after stage, you put the cross hairs on them and let them have it, using either one of those brightly colored six-shooters or the controller. It's fun for about 10 minutes, but all the creatures are pretty much the same, they aren't that hard to hit and they show up in exactly the same place every time, making replay value zip.
Graphics are blah.
The shooting sounds are good but your leader is yelling at you nonstop. Control gets an OK rating. Get the bandicoot. Dump the owl. Crash Bandicoot is rated K-A, for ages 6 and up.
