Honestly, couldn't the authors of this game be a bit more creative?

It is CLEARLY a declared copy of the Mario formula, all the 3 games of the Crash Bandicoot series have some boxes w/ '?' in it (instead of the mario blocks), apples instead of coins, they put even TURTLES in it (remember the koopas? ), flamethowers (smb3 ), etc, etc. I could tell a lot more of things that we see that they copied from Mario, but well, it is not only Mario they imitated.

There's also a bit of Donkey Kong stuff there....The bonus levels...(in dkc2 & 3 you get bonus coins, in crash bandicoot you save your game or get diamonds after passing the bonus) and more copied things too....

I played a lot CB1 and CB3 (played only some levels of the 1st world of CB2).
I finished CB1, the ending sucked.. That series is not original, they tried to make sucess by adding things you find in awesome games but what they did was creating games that aren't enjoyable, I played CB 1 and 3 for around 6 months and stopped, but Mario I have been playing for almost 7 years and never got bored of it

That proves the sentence 'Have personality and be original'

So, what do you think of Mr. Crash Bandicoot?

Those are some interesting similarities. Don't forget the racing game that's so much like Mario Kart.

I dunno, I enjoyed the CB games enough...CB2 in particular.

I will admit, though, that as a whole the experience at times did approach "Mario on rails".

Sonic went down the racing road as well at one point, don't forget.

Of course you want to try cash in on the success of other games - the key is to come up with a good alternative.

Erm... OK...

If you honestly think that Crash can be compared to Sonic in that way, then something's a little wrong with you.

And we all know Sonic has more attitude than Crash.

I think he's got a rocket backpack in one of the games... Probably the third one..

Anyway.. I think the game is fun, despite the fact that there's some originality issues. Then again, I'm a sucker for platformers ;

You say Sonic has originality, but aside from a few exceptions, the games are basically focused on jumping and dashing.

The originality doesn't come from the gameplay mechanics, it comes from the level design and the innovations contained within.

I've been playing Crash for years and never noticed this!

Seriously, though, all platformers share features. Crash had cool 3-D (or pseudo 3-D) layouts, funky sounds effects, and was just plain fun. I liked it.

It's also similar to Moby Dick because it has WORDS.

Please, someone get a hint. Someone?

I was thinking it was similar to Moby Dick because "bandicoot" is "Queequeg" in Algonquian. But the words thing works too.

Who CARES if it has some elements from other games? That's what ALL GAMES have. Seriously now, how many games use antidote for an anti-poison. Come on. Tell me. Exactly.

I like Chrash Bandicoot, and you shouldn't be such a tight ass and only look at how there are elements from other games in it. Just play the freaking game.

I agree. Originality isn't what makes games great. Nor is graphics, music.. the only thing that matters is gameplay. Is it fun? That's it.

Personally I hate Crash Bandicoot.

I've played CB 1 through 3 and I completed all except for the first one. I also played Crash Bandicoot racing and I must say I've enjoyed them a lot.

What didn't you like about Crash Bandicoot?
