10 Famous Video Game Rivalries With A Clear Winner
10. Crash Bandicoot Vs. Spyro The Dragon
Winner: Crash Bandicoot
Two platforming mascots from a time long-gone both making a big comeback at the same time? What a world we live in.
Crash made the leap into the current generation first, with three remastered titles, and Spyro shortly following the year after.
The difficult part comes with how great these three games are for both characters. Although Crash’s more focused gameplay has arguably more widespread appeal, Spyro’s collect-a-thon focus can be just as captivating.
It’s really what happened to the characters after their initial games that makes this decision easy.
Where Crash had a few mediocre releases after his third entry, he didn’t jump as far off the rails as Spyro did. It went so far that Spyro’s biggest impact over the last generation was being mascot to a toys-to-life franchise Skylanders, that barely involved him at all.
The masterpiece that is Crash Team Racing also helps spin this in favour of everyone's favourite bandicoot.
