) - I made a stupid mistake on my first attempt, but nearly finished on my second attempt, before actually completing it (and getting the gold relic) on my third attempt. I reckon not having had any beer and just being alot sharper and less agitated made a huge difference - I was on the verge of destroying my PS4 controller last night, and yet it was so quick to finish this evening that I can hardly believe it. I hope my neighbours had their windows shut too, otherwise they must think I have severe Tourette's syndrome. That said, I lost the Aku Aku mask twice in the process of completing the level, and probably owe my success to the sheer number of previous attempts that allowed me to somehow complete those sections in total darkness.
I played the original and the PS4 version of Crash 1 side-by-side recently and I think the controls of the original are far easier than the PS4 version, but the original game overall is harder. The original game's physics or controls were more precise, making it a sort of grid system when you jump, so it was easier to predict how Crash was going to handle when jumping, whereas in the PS4 version he is more fluid, making it unpredictable and touchy. I tested it on The High Road... I beat it in 3 attempts in the original (the turtle jumps are far easier in the original), while it took me over 30 attempts in the PS4 version of the same level. My skill level aside, that's a big difference.
After playing the original just recently, I can definitely say the controls are not too great and truthfully if it weren't for that, I probably wouldn't have had as much trouble. Up The Creek did seem like it should be an easy level, but the controls made it difficult since I kept slightly overstepping on the leaves. Can't speak for the remaster yet, but I will post my thoughts when I get it.
I forgot that, though apart from N. Sanity Beach I don't think I ever got a gem in the original game - it makes sense that you don't need the bonus round boxes, because otherwise it would be nigh on impossible.Psst, you don't need to break the boxes in the bonus rounds to get the gems in the original version of Crash 1
Nope, as far as I know Crash 1, 2 and 3 are essentially stand alone games.
As if the game doesn't have enough to annoy you already. When I fought Tiny in Warped, I thought for sure you couldn't spin those lions away, but it turns out you can! It's pretty stupid you can do that to them, but you can't to that stupid pig! It really makes little sense why they would do this.
That's a darn shame! Heaven knows the first would benefit from having a bazooka.
That's cool! It will be useful on the boulder/polar bear levels and hopefully it will help me jump onto those flamingos on Turtle Woods before they bury there selves in the ground. (I used to struggle with them a lot when I was younger)
One down, two to go.
I am not sure if I will beat the first either as far as completing the levels go, then again I didn't think I would come close to beating the other two with all the gems and relics (for Crash 3), but I did! I have gotten a lot better at Crash lately, but I will never get all the gems in the first.
What about in this game?
