It's a review thread, what do you think
Erm that's weird. This is also the same guy who took part in GameSpot's Uncharted 4 spoilercast without finishing the story which I thought was dumb...

It looks like he based his review on memories he had from 20 years ago about the game.
IGN - "Largely standing the test of time mechanically"
And the numbers seem to be in the 8's, which is pretty good. Remakes and remasters tend to score lower than the originals, for example Wind Waker and Twilight Princess HD are two of the more notable ones from the recent past. If it stays at about 82 or so, I'd chalk this down as a solid win for Crash (and it's fans).

Of course. With how these websites use the review scale a 6/10 might as well be branding it as "Unplayable crap".

Not knocking the score or anything, but this is one of the shortest reviews I've seen in ages. It barely touches upon anything.

Eh yea I guess that's true the whole scale needs to be used but I won't go on my rant about that lol.

Gamespot gave the original a 6.8 or something too so I commend them for their consistency.
Best wishes.

lol wow what a shit review at Gamespot....gives it a 6 and his main gripe seems to be the sometimes abrupt spikes in difficulty. Isn't that what old school platformers were all about? We didn't need hand holding and checkpoints every 3 feet. Don't the remasters include more checkpoints and better saving? Yet he conveniently leaves that part out after whining about the difficulty. Sorry they're too hard for you lmao. Barbie Horse Adventures might be more up your alley.

You knew what you were doing, you trickster you.
Exactly. Please don't start with the bull crap of "oh is 6 a bad score now?".

Its 3 remastered games for £30, anything over a 75 meta score would show it as great value for those interested.
Disagree. It holds up very well to me. I didn't play original games in the 90s, but I bought 3 games several months ago (on PS3 as PSX classics) and had a lot of fun.

Looks like he only got half way through his review before giving up too. Obviously a personality trait.

Ok, no, reading other outlets now, and it looks like the game deserves far more than 6 short paragraphs and "it's old at heart". I don't think that review deserves to be mentioned anymore. A big outlet like GS could've used more effort, though, even just to motivate the score better and critique the game more thoroughly.

Awesome scores so far but I'm sure some will concentrate on the few negative ones.

Fantastic reviews so far:
The ceiling for this type of game is an ~85 MC. I predicted an 81. Looks like it's going to meet everyone's expectations. Super hyped!

So both low scoring reviews I read mainly complain about difficulty.
Uh..
Three remakes in one package for $40.
Not enough content.

Giving these games a 9 is total nostalgia.
They weren't even a 9 when they originally came out.

It's more or less exactly what people were expecting, although some did predict an average in the 70's. The only classic Crash game that has a Metacritic average is Warped, and that's at a 91. GameRankings has all three in the 80's. So, this is really in line with even the original releases.

That first game is pretty bullshit

So these reviewers saying "deaths unfair" and "difficulty spikes", did they only play the first game and then called it quits? Because the series is remembered mainly for Crash 2 and 3. Everyone knows the first game has issues.
Not enough content.....what?

3 games for less than the price of 1.
Not enough content my dude.
I do appreciate some reviewers are trying to review it with today's standard, but come on. If this game is known for something, maybe try reviewing it from another perspective...? It's like complaining Bloodborne is too hard.
Not very replayable for people who don't want to replay it. Lol.

Look fantastic. I still have a huge backlog to go through though so Crash has to wait.

Gamespot 6/10
...reminds me of the DKC: Tropical Freeze review.
Too hard
6/10.

It's definitely interesting especially compared to the really lukewarm response the DuckTales Remaster got a few years ago. But you know. Three solid platformers for under 40 Euros is pretty nice. And it looks great.
