After the dust settled, I slowly came to realize that it wasn’t always the fun time I remembered. Crash Bandicoot is unfortunately no exception. Everything from my childhood is still intact - the music, style and dialogue.īut the best games of your youth don’t always hold up twenty years later. Publisher Activision now owns the rights to Crash Bandicoot, and with the help of developer Vicarious Visions, it’s done justice to the series. Naughty Dog, the original creator of the Crash series for Sony, wasn’t actually involved with this remaster. Sane Trilogy is a true remaster in every sense of the word - levels, user interface and music all remain heart-wrenchingly consistent with the originals. It’s easy to look at games like Crash Bandicoot through rose-colored glasses, especially when nostalgia is the driving factor.
