Later in the game, the bandicoot will climb aboard his trusty wild boar and haul butt through the greenery. Not all the animals are against Crash, however. Crash must contend with rogue skunks, bandicoot eating plants, bloodthirsty bats, vicious villagers and other terrors of the jungle. Most levels have Crash making a mad dash through the jungle, which is packed from tree to shining tree with bottomless pits and angry animals. And Crash has more than his fair share of obstacles to avoid during his quest to rescue his girlfriend. The majority of the game is played in a third-person perspective, with you looking over the furry head of the pouched-reared protagonist as he zips head-on through each stage.
It offers forward-scrolling stages, sidescrolling stages-even two stages that tax Crash's beast-riding skills!
Although Crash's attacks are pretty standard stuff (he leaps on and spins into enemies) the game is packed with a variety of levels, many requiring a different type of play style. It has gameplay guts to go with its visual glory.
But does Crash Bandicoot play like a cinema? No.
