Where Crash Bandicoot has some players divided is with its difficulty. It's also fun to hear other characters talk in the game, even though most of them are just there to taunt you for their upcoming boss battles. The classic themes are intact with just a slight bit of remixing here and there and Crash's classic, speechless squawks are still fun. On top of that, Vicarious Visions has stayed true to the game's original audio. Even the levels with glowing lava caves and bitter, cold winter storms looked dazzling when there was action happening on-screen. Very seldom did we see a drop in visual quality. Despite the fact that the visual clarity is slimmed down a little to make room for the game on the system (it downloads around 5.3GB compared to the much larger size on other consoles), it still looks very good in both handheld and docked play, running at buttery smooth 30 frames per second. The Switch version, thankfully, holds up quite well. On top of that, Vicarious Visions' remastering work is really something, as these games look like they fit right in with today's scene, even if the level design is straight out of the 90's. There are hidden goodies galore on each level, including crates that must be broken, special gems to be picked up and maybe even a surprise level or two. That said, these games are worth exploring again for a number of reasons. If you need a reminder of what's included in this package, you get essentially three full games, including Crash Bandicoot, Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back and Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped! They cover a good portion of his platforming adventures, even though his latest multi-platform stuff would introduce more depth. And since we already did a review of the game last year, consider this just a quick overview of the Switch version.and, more importantly, why it's worth investing in if you haven't already.
