I had them both the same Christmas.

I gave up pretty fast on Crash Bandicoot as my reaction skills were not as fine-tuned as they are now.

Spyro I found easy and beat it pretty fast. I also never got every jewel, having missed one.

The first three Spyros were the best platformers of all time, IMO. Especially 1 & 2. I like Crash Bandicoot, but the levels are rather formulaic...

G-nasty G-norc is the only way to say it! you have to pronounce the "g" i always used to say it like that, the bit i got stuck on was chasing him around his area, always fell into the lava and that sucks! never really liked crash bandicoot, loved crash team racing though... if only therecing...

Well I grew up more on Spyro then I did Crash Bandicoot (Ive only played the first 3). But to be honest I thought Spyro was a lot more fun as a kid, but for its simplicity. I love everything about the first 3 games for spyro. I don't get the new 'famous voice actors' and super kong fu like abilities and the 'unleash the dragon!' style, I think it has ruined Spryo. It was all about, like family fun, find some gems, maybe some orbs or eggs, solve the odd puzzle, it was fun and thats what made the game great. Crash on the other hand I couldn't really get into, not my sort of game and still not the sort of game I'd play. I'm actually collecting all the Spyro games cause there so great.
Spyro all the way

i love the spyro games, especially 2 and 3, im not really a big fan of 1. ive sort of gone off them with 'the legend of spyro' series as it is so much of change from the original games.

ive never really been a big fan of the crash bandicoot games, they just dont appeal to me

I'm not a huge fan of Spyro but I liked Spyro 2. I prefer Crash, my favourite is Twinsanity.

I loved these games, although I kinda of lost intrest when they moved to PS2 for some reason. I might pick them up sometime.

Same... Though I have played some of them

Crash: Wrath of Cortex was an ok game but what go me with that was that Crunch was the boss for every level... Where were all the other awesome Crash villains? They acted as normal enemies in maps!

But some of the game levels (particulary the ball maze levels), and playing as Coco was quite fun too.

Crash Nitro Kart.... Good because it was a racing game for Crash on the PS2. Bad because it didn't have as many Crash characters as Crash Team Racing did.... CNK focused more on alien planets and alien racers than it did Crash characters, sadly.

Crash of the Titans - I don't actually class this as part of the series... It was a fun game and everything, but I consider it more a spin-off than a real Crash game. It didn't do Crash things. It didn't feel like Crash. But it was still fun to play, and the 2 player mode was great. Hated what they did to Tiny Tiger though!


Haven't played any of the other PS2 crashes...


In regards to Spyro I only played the first (and loved it)... I played demo's of a few more... but that was the end of my time with Spyro. No reason for this, I just never got round to buying any more Spyro games...
