Crash Bandicoot: Ranking Every Game From Worst To Best

How do you reinvigorate a stagnating, almost now staggeringly clumsy franchise? in the case of Toys for Bob, the current proprietor of the "Bandicoot estate", the unanimous verdict was essentially returning to what made the marsupial a household name initially. If that meant repurposing, but not rebranding the originals in such an endearing fashion as they eventually did, they'd be n-sane not to.

Kick-starting the nostalgia fuelled remaster trend that gave way to Spyro and Tony Hawk receiving the same treatment - and plaudits - the N.Sane Trilogy immediately established this precedence, and for a short period the reimbursement of Crash's prominence.

Not only does it reinterpret and reiterate three classic titles for both the nostalgic and new, it incorporates new features while giving an overall fluidity to the insanity. Each entry applies the jumping mechanics from the first, which provides a new challenge altogether while producing an interconnectivity between the games.

Just when you thought overtly faithful adaptations were the cream of the crop, they avoided milking it and instead gave us osmething we didn't know we desired. DLC that we've missed out on for an entire vicennial beforehand, adding a new layer of complexity and replayability that keeps us coming back, again and again.
