10 Best Silent Protagonists In Gaming History
8. Crash Bandicoot
Before the likes of the Uncharted series and The Last of Us, Naughty Dog were most famous for the creation of a bandicoot named Crash, who would go on to become the official mascot of the very first PlayStation in addition to starring in a number of truly great video games.
Dealing with all sorts of craziness and interacting with a completely insane cast of characters while navigating levels filled with boxes of TNT and Nitro that are capable of destroying him in an instant, Crash tackles a number of nefarious plots from baddies who are all looking to take over the world, making use of his spectacular jumping and spinning abilities along the way.
He also never utters a single word while he is doing it. Despite taunts from the many enemies that he faces along the way - coupled with the ludicrous and dangerous nature of the environments that he traverses - Crash simply gets on with the job at hand, usually while trying to save his girlfriend and foil the plans of Dr. Neo Cortex.
