    TWOC doesn’t deserve the hate it gets, but I can see WHY people don’t like it as well

    I never played this game for ages and finally got to play it a year or two ago. I was surprised that a lot of online hate was not as valid as I expected. I went in expecting an absolutely terrible game, but it actually... wasn't a bad game. There were plenty of things I didn't like, but it was okay. It wasn't amazing to me, but it was certainly a decent game especially from a different developer. Definitely didn't like the visual style change. It made no sense to me that the PS1 character designs of previous games looked better than the PS2 character designs of this game. As you said, even the entertaining animated vibe of the characters was missing. I found it interesting that you liked the floaty physics of Crash's movement as I did not. I didn't hate it, but it definitely took a bit to get used to and I certainly prefer the Crash 2 and 3 physics much more. The vehicles didn't bother me too much, but it is strange that they leaned so hard into it. A lot of times, it should have just been Crash doing those things with a power-up or using a platform, jump or switch to activate the method of harming the boss. e.g. in the battle against Crunch with Py-Ro's power, Crash could have been on his own all the way through and could have timed a spin to hit a water pipe valve that would spray Crunch with water or something.

    Very true we should validate this game as it wasn’t meant to exist but the consistently of bad gameplay from slow monkey bar, many vehicle and the wide screen. I can’t deny it was fun it just didn’t match up to warped or exceed above it, only it was different perspective of gameplay Very appreciate your hard work for making these retrospective videos look forward to CNK and twinsanity and possibly the titans

    I'll be covering the entire series, so CNK and Twinsanity will be coming! I wasn't a fan of the "Titans" games, but Crash of the Titans was LEAGUES better than Mind over Mutant. Of course, we'll cover that in a future video :)

    Best video yet (maybe I’m clouded by nostalgia). Weirdly the most stand out thing to me is that this came out in 2001, I feel like I have a thing for media releases same year of my birth lol. Having watched this, I feel like a lot of my childhood questions have been answered - I 100% agree with your thoughts on the textures of the first elemental mask. I always thought he was made of wood and I was confused as to why the boss battle was rock based. I agreed with most of your points, although I am admittedly a bit of a sucker for vehicle levels, they do go a touch overboard. Excellent video mate, gives that sense of nostalgia while still not holding back on the deserved criticisms. Excited to see the next review. PS: why does cortex pronounce cretin with a long e like that, I hate it

    As much as I hate it, no game is perfect. I loved this game so much and then I had to take the nostalgia goggles, it was a rough experience

    My friend it was the end of an era. They may return one day as "legacy" content, but until then, they stay hidden in the shadows

    him saying CNK being an improvement over CTR... Reality will smack him down. Controls feel more floaty when it comes to turns (and I 100% the game w/ all gold), but the story does feel more fleshed out (CTR's story was purposefully cheesy & Oxyde was meant to be a joke character, which was Naughty Dog's attempt at sinking the Bandicoot franchise through this bonus of a game as in:"If I don't make crash games, it's gonna be sh!t")

    I've already finished the Crash series last week, so my opinion has already been formulated. CTR > CNK > CTR:NF is my final thoughts :)

    The final cut of the script was an hour and 45 minutes long and it DID mention that, but so much was left on the cutting room floor!

    The graphics of the N Sane Trilogy has ruined it for me haha, I’d even prefer the retro look of the older ones. These textures are wack

    It was a well done game for someone who wasn’t naughty dog. It does have its issues but far and wide we’re lucky to have this game to begin with
