20 WORST to BEST Crash Bandicoot Games (20th Anniversary Special)  

If anyone comes across this video now that Crash 4 is on the horizon: You may watch this video but let me warn you that it is not well scripted or thought out. Many of the reasonings I briefly present in the video are not thoroughly presented had some controversial takes - easy to tell by the like/dislike ratio) and my current ranking and reasonings would very much differ from the ones in the video. Keep in mind, that when you want to comment, that this video came out before we even saw a glimpse of the N. Sane Trilogy, so neither it nor CTR Nitro-Fueled (or Crash 4 for that matter) could have been part of the video. If you are interested in some Crash content that has been created with way more care, then feel free to watch some of my stuff and/or subscribe. I am working on several things at the time of me writing this comment. And if you do want to watch this video nonetheless - feel free. Just wanted to have this lil' disclaimer here in case many people come across this video due to Crash 4 hype.

I heard so many "story doesn't make sense" or "terrible story". Let's get one thing straight. These are platform/racing games, not story games, platformers/racing games are made to have challenging levels and have fun gameplay. Like seriously, let's think about it. How many times you see someone for example buy Mario Kart 8 for a "good story"? Or buying a game where you play as a bandicoot jumping on boxes and collecting fruit for a story game? The only story you'd get, is that bandicoots love fruits. And that Mario loves go karts.😂 Instead criticize these games by how they run, level design, the gameplay, how repetitive it is, or how creative/unique it is.

judging crash games on their story smh

Stop crying about Crash Bash, you're just upset because you can't get the N. Ballism plat!!!

Crash Bash was fucking awesome

While the idea for the video is nice, when your recurring complaint for games that have literal gallons of things to complain about it "the story makes no sense..." with a whole lot of awkward pausing like you can't think of anything else to say, well. It wears out its welcome fairly quickly. - Lewis

Man you must be kidding me. My list: 1. Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped (Best soundtrack ever) 2. Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex strikes back 3. Crash Bandicoot 1 4. Crash Team Racing

Honestly as much as I like twinsanity I think crash 2 and 3 are much better games than it. Also How is CTR bad because it's not a platformer? Are you high mate- That's like saying the same thing about Mario kart.

crash twinsanity needs remake

Worst: Crash Boom Bang (GBA) Crash Mind Over Mutant (DS) Crash of the Titans (GBA) OK: Crash of the Titans (Xbox 360) Crash Bandicoot Fusion (GBA) Crash Bandicoot XS (GBA) Good: Crash Mind Over Mutant (Xbox 360) Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex (Xbox) Crash Bash (PS1) Great: Crash Bandicoot N trance (GBA) Crash Nitro Kart (Xbox) Crash of the Titans (DS) Awesome: Crash Team Racing (PS1) Crash Tag Team Racing (PS2) Crash Bandicoot (PS1) Best: Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped (PS1) Crash Twinsanity (Xbox) Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back (PS1)

My List Really Dislikes 20 - Crash Boom Bang 19 - Crash Bandicoot Purple 18 - Crash of The Titans (GBA) Meh 17 - Crash Bandicoot Nitro Kart 3D 16 - Crash of The Titans 15 - Crash Bandicoot Nitro Kart 2 14 - Crash Mind Over Mutant (DS) Neutral 13 - Crash of The Titans (DS) 12 - Crash Bash 11 - Crash Mind Over Mutant 10 - Crash Bandicoot XS Good 9 - Crash Bandicoot N-Tranced 8 - Crash Bandicoot The Wrath of Cortex 7 - Crash Nitro Kart 6 - Crash Tag Team Racing Really Good 5 - Crash Bandicoot 4 - Crash Team Racing 3 - Crash Bandicoot 2 Favorites 2 - Crash Bandicoot 3 1 - Crash Twinsanity

Crash Bash was actually fun to play, but you do have your reasons to put it on the list

God damn it why do you talk like that?? It drove me crazy the entire time. Not to mention, this could've easily been a ten minute video.

I love Twinsanity. It took me forever to beat it at 100% because the second snowboard level the blue gem was hard to get. I love TTR and Wrath of Cortex.

As short as Twinsanity is. It was the best. Best soundtrack in any game i've ever played.

with all due respect, i say "crash 3 warped" is better than "crash 2"

Why do you about the story so much in the racing games. Do you play mario kart for the story?

1.) Crash 2 2.) Crash 3 3.) Crash 1 4.) CTR 5.) Crash 4 Crash 4 was fucking great

My Favorit Games... 1- Crash Twinsanity 2- Crash Bandicoot Warped 3- Crash Bandicoot 4- Crash Bandicoot 2

8:23 we will never know which crash game he was talking about

WHY WAS TAG TEAM RACING SO LOW? THAT WAS MY CHILDHOOD!

I didn't know half of these crash games existed!

My top 5: 5.Crash Bandicoot the wrath of cortex 4.Crash Bandicoot 1 3.Crash Bandicoot 2 Cortex strikes back 2.Crash Twinsanity 1.Crash Bandicoot 3 Warped

Wrath of Cortex is pretty underrated when compared to how overrated Twinsanity is. Twinsanity is practically an unfinished game, and people complain about the vehicle levels in TWoC when the vehicle levels in Warped were pretty terrible, at least imo

who else was jumping for joy when he said twinsanity was number 1?

Crash Twinsanity, mind over mutant and titans are my absolutely favorite and i don't understand why people hate the Titans game it was really good in my opinion

Wrath of Cortex is my favorite, the soundtrack, the levels, bosses. Everything. Right behind that is Tag Team Racing, me and my stepbrother would play that game days on end.

My list: 5. Crash Team Racing/Nitro Kart 4. Crash Twinsanity 3. Crash Bandicoot 3 2. Crash Bandicoot 2 1. Crash Bandicoot

Cortex strikes back is definitely better than twinsanity

Crash Twinsanity is my favorite gamee ❤️❤️❤️

I've played all the Crashes and I could give my top 20 right here, should you be interested to listen.

❤️Crash Twinsanity❤️

i really like that u put Crash 2 high than Crash 3. The 2'er had way more platforming which is what the game is about.

There was so many "story doesn't make sense" and "terrible story"s, it gets me upset. So of those games I really liked. Number 15, for example, I really LOVE that game. I play it almost every day. Also Crash of the Titans, I like the game a lot.

Crash purple is worse than XS and crash bash is better than Purple

GUYS IMAGINE IF VICARIOUS VISIONS DECIDES TO REMASTER/REMAKE CRASH TWINSANITY WITH TOTALLY NEXT GEN GRAPHIS AND ADD ALL THE DELETED AND CONCEPT ART THAT WAS CUT FROM THE GAME!

Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex 6. Crash Bash I've liked them all a lot so far though. Guessing I haven't played the worse ones yet...

Here's My List. 1.Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back 2.Crash Bandicoot 3.Crash Bandicoot 3 4.Crash Team Racing 5.Crash Bash

I love Twinsanity, but knowing that it was unfinished and it could've been better, I would never put it at number 1. Just my opinion though.

tag team was one of my favorite and is one of the best

ctr is one of my most played games of all time, and one of my favorites! Can't say I've played all the games on this list, but I want to now with the N. Sane game coming out.

Personally, I loved tag team racing, I was disappointed to see it so loe

I love crash bandicoot 2 it's my fav : )

I loved Crash of the Titans the only thing wrong with it was that it wasn't long enough!! I do agree that Crash Twinsanity was the best game though!👍🏻

i personally like titans ALOT more than cnk

crash tag team racing was actually amazing back in day . i don't give a fuck about story

Crash tag team was great with a friend locking with you and being a gunner. The humour was actually pretty good and the die-o-ramas were great to watch

How can Nitro Kart and Wraith of Cortex not be top 5?

All crash games are and look horrible on gameboy

My list: - Crash: Boom Bang! - Never played - Crash: Mind Over Mutant DS - Never played - Crash of the Titans GBA - Never played - Crash Nitro Kart GBA - Good - Crash Bandicoot Nitro Kart 3D - Never played - Crash Bandicoot Nitro Kart 2 - Never played - Crash of the Titans DS - Never played - Crash Tag Team Racing - Good - Crash Bandicoot Purple - Never played - Crash Nitro Kart - Good - Crash Bandicoot: The Huge Adventure/XS - Okay - Crash Bandicoot: N-Tranced - Great - Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped - Amazing - Crash: Mind Over Mutant - Meh (got so lost, never beat it) - Crash Bandicoot 1 - Great - Crash Team Racing - Never played - Crash of the Titans - Great - Crash TwinSanity - Amazing - Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back. - Amazing - Crash Bandicoot: Wrath of Cortex - Favourite. It was the first playstation game I ever played, when I was 6, and it holds a special place in my heart, okay?? Put those pitch forks down now.

You telling me that Crash of the Titans is better than Crash Tag Team Racing and Crash motherfucking BASH? GOD DAMN

My favorite Crash Bandicoot games are Crash 1, Crash 2: Cortex Strikes Back, Crash 3: Warped, Crash Team Racing and Crash 4: The Wrath of Cortex.

your wrong about some of these games being bad

wrath of cortex is way better than mind over mutant

Dude the top 3 were freaking nitro cart..... tag team..... and twinsanity!

My list... I'm speaking as a biased 20 year old who played and replayed the first 5, especially Cortex Strikes Back and Warped. Wrath of Cortex was the first game I played on the ps2 and was awesome, but didn't quite have the same feel as the originals. The only ones I still go back to are 2 and 3. Warped was by far the best, in my opinion. 10. Crash Bandicoot: The Huge Adventure 9. Crash: Twinsanity 8. Crash Bandicoot: N-Tranced 7. Crash Nitro Kart 6. Crash Bash 5. Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex 4. Crash Team Racing 3. Crash Bandicoot 2. Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back 1. Crash Bandicoot: Warped

Crash twin sanity is my favorite crash game by far,I completed it 10 times as a kid,and couldn't stop playing it

How are a bunch of game boy versions better than Wrath of Cortex,and how is that shitty mind over mutant better than Crash 3 plus Twin Insanity was good,but to say it was better than Crash 3 is crazy.

I like Crash Twinsanity the best

“Crash Bandicoot” and “Story” should never be used in a sentence together in a serious conversation.

Why do judge crash games on thier story? You expect a *racing* game to have a good story? Do you play Mario for the story? No. You don't. If you want story go play an RPG. Low-key you sound like you hate crash. SMH

Wrath Of Cortex is best

Crash Bandicoot Warped >>

crash bandicoot the wrath of cortex is the best

This remastered CTR is BRUTAL! Can’t wait for release!!!

Crash Twinsanity is My Favourite Crash Bandicoot Game, The Music in Twinsanity is Beautiful 😊 Twinsanity is a Special Treasure ❤️ My Life will be complete if Crash Twinsanity gets a Remake with all the cut content added in so it would be fully finished like it was suppose to be if it wasn’t heavily rushed 😌 Out of all the Crash Games, Crash Twinsanity is the most Special and Unique one to me ❤️

If twinsanity is the best then..Crash Bandicoot is not a very good franchise.

Wrath of cortex was my childhood. It deserves better than 9th place.

Were anyone else but me really frustrated with the all the waiting during loading screens in The Wrath of Cortex on PS2? Aaaaaaarrrghhh!!!! But it was a pretty awesome game :P

Finally someone who loves Twinsanity as much as I did! I hope they remaster it because they can add all of the cut content! Or a new Crash Bandicoot game similar to Twinsanity!

Crash 3: "Probably introduces time paradoxes" Who the hell plays and rates Crash games for their story? Level design, gameplay, music, scenery even characters are all fair enough to judge a platformer by, but these games are not story focused at all

"The story doesn't make sense" says no one about any platforming game ever.

Here, let's try this list. This is from a single-player completionist perspective, and I'm not including handheld versions of console titles. 14: Boom Bang 13: Crash Purple 12: Crash Bash (awesome multiplayer, just very difficult to 200%) 11: Crash of the Titans 10: Mind Over Mutant 9: The Wrath of Cortex 8: Tag Team Racing 7: Crash Bandicoot (only in this spot cuz it was so frustrating to beat) 6. N-Tranced 5: The Huge Adventure 4: Nitro Kart 3: Twinsanity 2: Crash Team Racing 1: TIE between Crash 2 AND Crash 3 (2 for the secrets and 3 for the super powers and perfecting the platforming mechanics) I might be a bit biased towards the VV titles, but I think they did a wonderful job capturing the gameplay formulas. Also Nitro Kart and Twinsanity just have so much CHARM, I love it.

Crash Twinsanity was lit growing up. All the hours I spent playing that game oh man xD

I hate that nobody with IQ over 70 is allowed to purchase any Bandicoot games without their parents written permission "please allow my genius son to buy Bandicoot in yellow wrappers".

Also crash Nitro Kart was pretty damn fun too. Who the fuck cares about the story lines in crash games? You play them for fun.

Not a bad list, I like to hear other peoples perspective on what they prefer and their insight on why they like/disliked certain games. I am still getting ready to prepared to play the games that aren't the Crash Trilogy, CTR, Crash Nitro Kart and Wrath of Cortex. But at the moment, my favourites are: 1) Crash Team Racing - Like you said, fast paced. I always feel absorbed in the game and the adrenaline is amazing. 2) Crash Bandicoot 2 - Probably for Nostalgic Reasons, but it was hard at times and challenged your skill. 3) Wrath of Cortex - Story aside, the gameplay and levels where great! 4) Crash Bandicoot - It's what got me in the series, of course I love it. 5) Crash Nitro Kart - Though I find the gameplay weird as a PS2 game, it is essentially CTR but more. Though the in-game animations can put me off.

Funny how you expect the games to have an ultra complex story, with huge concesecuenses in the "Canon" story line by every single choice made by the characters, also 3-dimentional characters with complex personalities when they are mostly just archetypes since like... ...ever. ALSO, funny how you complain about Of The Titans' glitches when Twinsanity has lots of those too.

I think the first trilogy was the best. CB1 was hard, a true challenge, but it was also fun as hell and was a big part of PS' history. CB2 made a much better work and added many new things overall. CB3 has really memorable levels and Coco's parts were fun. CB4 lost a bit of essence but still was awesome, specially because it wasn't made by Naughty Dog. Twinsanity is a whole insanity tbh. I haven't played it, but by everything I've seen and read, it was a pretty good game, but not the best, specially because of all the unused content and lenght of the game. Mutants saga was also okay, but it was really experimental and hard to adapt to after every other Crash game we've had. Racing games were pretty fun and original, and they didn't feel forced as others did. Nitro Kart is still the best one. GBA games were okay, even after all the limitations they had. GBA was done for 2D platforming and RPGs, so franchises like Rayman, Crash and Dragon Ball went by a lot of experiments there, but managed to have some pretty cool games (Rayman 4 and Dragon Ball advance are two of my favorites). That's my whole opinion. Viva Crash!

18: Crash Boom Bang (Boring minigames, nonsensical plot) 17: Ripto’s Rampage (The visuals and gameplay suck!) 16: Crash Tag Team Racing (Pretty fun but they truly blew it) 15: Crash of the Titans (It’s really cool imo but I understand all the criticism) 14: N-Tranced (Provides absolutely nothing new to the table) 13: Crash On the Run (I can have a ton of fun but the levels are WAY too simple) 12: CTR: Nitro Kart (Good but not nearly as good as the others) 11: Crash Bash (I always have a blast every single time I play it) 10: Crash Bandicoot (The controls are weird but this game still holds up today) 9: The Huge Adventure (Filled to the gills with great levels) 8: CTR (The way you should do a kart racing game correctly) 7: Mind Over Mutant (The bosses throughout this whole game is just 👌) 6: Cortex Strikes Back (Took everything great about the first and made it better) 5: Wrath of Cortex (I love all of the variety in the levels) 4: It’s About Time (The objectively best game in the series) 3: Twinsanity (I love the sense of humor) 2: CTR: Nitro Fueled (Two fantastic games combined) 1: Warped (Just easily the best!)

1. Crash 3 (Naughty Dog took a risk with shaking up the gameplay and it paid off big time) 2. Crash Team Racing (The best kart racer imo jam packed with content) 3. Crash 2 (Better than the first, but it was a pretty safe entry) 4. Crash 1 (A good game in its own right, but hard to return to after playing its more balanced and refined, Naughty Dog successors) 5. Crash Bash (The only party game that I enjoyed in single player. The challenge could get so intense that I didn't even care for multiplayer) 6. Crash Twinsanity (I was 10 when I last beat this, so I don't remember much. However, I do remember enjoying it a ton) Just my personal list

Since when did any Crash Bandicoot story make sense? 2 masks fighting each other Scientist wanting to make animal army and the like lol

Am I the only one who likes Crash Tag Team Racing? That was the first Crash Bandicoot game I play.

Being Honest Mine Would Be: Crash Bandicoot N Sane Trilogy Crash 1 Crash 3 Crash 2 Twinsanity Titan CTR CTTR Mind Over Mutant

tag team racing is actually good, i loved it when i was a child

Crash bash is a childhood favorite

Man crash was my childhood, i freaking loved crash xs and the ps1 games.

Crash mind over mutant, of the titans, twinsanity and cortex strikes back, these are the best

>crash >universe and story >archer >close-range, with blades

for main series: Cortex Strikes Back > Crash Bandicoot > Warped > Twinsanity > GBA Series > Wrath of Cortex > Crash of the Titans > Mind over Mutant.

Crash is one of the only games that had a better visual and graphics in the past than in the present... It's the definition of devolution

how did I know Twinsanity was gonna be number one to begin with? I really liked it for it's humor and poking fun about the production of the game and other games not doing so well.

thank god you did twinsanity as number 1 because if you didn't i dont know what you would be thinking. Great video to

My list (Worst to best):Crash: Mind over Mutant (ALL), Crash of the Titans (GBA), Crash Boom Bang (DS), Crash Purple Fusion: Ripto's Rampage (GBA), Crash of the Titans (XBOX 360 +PS2), Crash Nitro Kart 3D (ALL), Crash Nitro Kart 2 (ALL), Crash Tag Team Racing (ALL), Crash XS (GBA),Crash N-Tranced (GBA), Crash of the Titans (DS), Crash Bandicoot 3: WARPED (PS1), Crash Bandicoot: Wrath of Cortex (PS1), Crash Nitro Kart (ALL), Crash Bash (PS1), Crash Team Racing (PS1), Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back! (PS1), Crash Twinsanity (ALL), Crash Bandicoot (PS1)

The first crash bandicoot game i owned was crash ttr and it was soo good and took a place in my childhood for that, i have 8 crash games now!

No way anyone could possibly believe that the number #1 spot belongs to anything but one of the games from the original trilogy.. Twinsanity was #1 strictly for shock value...

Your making no since Crash Bash is GOLD

5. Crash Bandicoot: Wrath of Cortex 4. Crash Team Racing 3. Crash Bandicoot: Twinsanity 2. Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back 1. Crash Bandicoot: Warped Honorable mention to the original, which was too difficult and clunky IMO. It was okay. Also, the N. Sane Trilogy would be my number one, but I don't think it's fair.
