Playing this game without the N. Hanced mod should be categorized as an attempt on one's own life and treated accordingly

There are a lot of good qualities about this game, but also some bad. The completion requirements, as you may know, are just not a fun time. When you play this game's PC port, I highly recommend the N.Hanced mod that makes completion actually fun and similar to the classic trilogy (fixes crate placement in some areas, lesser gem requirements, no N.Verted levels, etc). It's a shame that the series had a promising future with this game just for Activision to roll their windows up...

Have you ever played Crash 2 and thought to yourself " man, this is alright, but I really wish it got very hard at random. Also can we get some invisible boxes up in here? " No? Well here's Crash 4 anyway. Easily the biggest, most refined, feature rich and varied Crash to date, gameplay wise. ...It is also very much bloated with junk and struggles with basic 3D perception. A definite get if you're a casual Crash enjoyer™. If you're the kind of a freak who likes to 100%+ these games though, I can assure you will grow to hate it/yourself - I'd seriously look into the [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/crashbandicoot4itsabouttime/mods/194]N.Hanced mod at that point.

Easy recommendation. The music, the visual style, the effort put into the animations; they went to great lengths to emulate the feel of the original trilogy, and pay extensive homage to it. Unfortunately, I think they flew a little too close to the sun. They got so very much right in the creation of this game, that those things they slipped up a little on have a much stronger tendency to sour opinions. I'll briefly address my own grievances: -There's an extensive variety of platforming styles in this game, and you never stay in one for very long. This isn't *negative*, but it does evoke an old criticism I've always had of Crash 3: Too much variety, not enough core platforming. The tape levels are something of a buffer against this criticism; if you can survive the non-stop medley for long enough, you get treated to bonus levels that are just Crash/Coco jumping on stuff. So the game has what I want, but the devs made me work for it. Annoying, but not a deal breaker. -There are simply too many boxes. I'll explain: Yes, we're living in the future, and yes, developers are not limited to PS1 disk space in constructing levels. Crash 4's levels are entirely out of control in many glorious ways. The scale/length/variety is impressive! These things are great! The most boxes in any stage of the original trilogy was Cold Hard Crash (Crash 2), at 155, (154/155 is a sight that still haunts me to this day). I regard it as the hardest stage in the original trilogy (requiring a knowledge of multiple paths + needing to backtrack + ice physics and nitro crates. It's a hellish gauntlet in its own right). It's also *the only* stage in the trilogy that inadvertently hides a single box out of view of the screen, and that depends on your angle of approach to it. Crash 4 nearly meets 155 by the third level, and has surpassed it entirely by the fifth. 155 isn't even a middle figure now; it's very low. There's a stage in 4 with 500+, and only one of them dips below a hundred. *This would not be negative if*: whoever placed these boxes hadn't insisted on putting a handful off-screen in almost every stage. I mean entirely out of sight. This creates cross-purposes within players: The game awards gems for the completion of a level with few deaths, but this absentminded placement of boxes does nothing but encourage reckless and fatal experimentation in order to find everything. So: Sure. Forced replay value for anyone not following a guide. You pick a specific objective, and you work on that exclusively. Play every level 3+ times through in the hope you can get everything. Aside from boredom and the time investment, I'll touch on why that just doesn't work for me. It's wholly contrary to the feel and flow of the original trilogy; everything you needed to pick up on the way to the box tally was generally pretty obvious, and claiming your hard won gem was satisfyingly punctuated by the signature noise they made. They still make the same noise, but it's quieter. They're tiny now, and nowhere near as satisfying to earn, both as a function of diminished rarity (reminder: There are more than 200 now), and the fact that 5/6 gems are just... handed to you. You don't pick them up, you pick up enough fruit, you stay alive, or you find all the boxes and the game says "hey, nice." and slips them into your pocket for you. At risk of sounding like a hopeless romantic; there was always an unspoken and ill-addressed mystical quality to the gems. They were the path to the true ending of each game; a way out of a semi-impossible scenario. This treatment of them has wholly trivialized them. I'll wrap things up. -The bear riding sections are quite bad. They control in a slippery and wholly unreliable way. You get different results for the same inputs, and that is something of a death-knell for keeping interest in a platformer. I'm grateful there are only a handful. -I'm not a fan of grind rails, generally. Crash 4's aren't terrible, but in placing the camera firmly behind Crash/Coco, the devs have turned the player's depth perception into a formidable weapon against them. -That camera trick gets used a lot, and I know why they did it: The original trilogy did it too. It didn't help then, and it isn't helping much now. So it isn't *perfect*, but then what is? As I said at the start; still highly recommended. I hope they dial some things back a little for 5.
