Crash Bandicoot Review - Quickies Don't Cut It 

I still don't understand how you have so few subscribers. I've been watching your Quickies Don't Cut It series recently and they are incredibly good videos. Keep up the good work, dude!

I know this is a very unfair thing to say, but if you were to somehow manage to make these kinds of quality reviews just a touch more frequently, I could safely guarantee this channel would explode.

Still a great game but the second game is my favorite in the series.

Your videos are of such fantastic quality, I don't understand why you don't get more recognition than you do. Too many clickbaity, try-to-be-funny reviewers nowadays, It's nice to hear some educated and honest input from you. Keep it up, man, you've earned a new sub. :)

Cool video, I love your reviews man, you really deserve more subscribers.

Gems: You don't have to restart the level if you death before the first check point.

16:32: I love how he said that.

I don't think the plot is that weak. Being a test subject for a mad scientist already sounds creepy.

Fucking Sunset Vista, dude! A pain in the ass

This is the third time I watch this video, your channel is so rewatchable, I keep clicking on these, both when I realize and when I don't realize that I've already seen them, the only ones I think I've watched more times than your Crash reviews is probably the X reviews X5 onwards (Especially X6) as I am fascinated by the subtle and not so subtle changes that take place in these set of sequels, you should take a look into the next few Crash games, that is CTR, Bash, Wrath of Cortex, Twinsanity, and Nitro Kart. In general any video by you is good news in my youtube feed.

awesome review, awesome channel! All i've been watching on youtube the past few weeks lol.

I really like how you're projecting more personality into your reviews while keeping them professional as before! Great review, I remember growing up with Crash 2 but never got a chance to play Crash 1, I really wanna try it one of these days.

I enjoyed this review. Nice work. This game is special to me as it was the 3rd PS1 game I ever owned. And I think it still holds up well 20 years later. Wow that makes me feel old lol. To think I was about 6 when I first played this. While it was quite impressive for a 1996 PS1 game. I do have my gripes which you mentioned in the review. Namely the hassle to save your progress and the jumping feels a bit sluggish. Which let do many deaths by falling down pits. I do prefer the sequels much more but I do like to go back to playing this one occasionally.

13:40 Look! It's the worlds fastest Hog :P

Excellent review, Retropolis Zone. I really liked this game as a kid and I still enjoy it to this day. Although 2, 3, and Team Racing are way better. I even recommend the two GBA games. Josh Mancell's soundtrack in Crash 2 is awesome. I bang my head to the heavy metal guitar work for the boulder/bear chase snow levels every time, lol. This was a great first entry, but nothing I would replay every single year personally. It has aged moderately, although that save system and control scheme makes it feel dated somewhat. It's challenging, but maybe too challenging at times.

6000 average subs. 6000 average views. Do you have any idea how rare it is for almost 100% of a fanbase to watch every video? You should be very proud of yourself pal, I for one hope to Aku Aku that you make videos like this until you're old and grey lol. I demand to see you review every single game I've ever played....and all the ones I haven't :p If you were to rise in popularity enough to justify starting a Patreon, I would gladly donate some cheese to prop you up to do more of these, and I'm and a firm believer that 99% of current Patreon users don't deserve to ask strangers for cash lol. You are in my opinion the first Exception to that rule.

"Channels it's inner Megaman X" Dude you are pure golden. What a line.

Yeah I would definitely agree with Evanlution, the comfortability at which you are reviewing now is great and it's showing in your videos bro. Can't wait for the next one. Excellent representation of the sound portion I 100 percent agree with you.

You should do Banjo Kazooie because they've got that whole Project Dream backstory thing and I love that game.

Imagine complaining about the missing save-feature in this game, only to find out that New Super Mario Bros has the exact same system ten years later, which was Nintendo's umpteenth platform game. :') But mate, I'm really getting more and more impressed by your reviewing skills! And I was already impressed with the SA1 review, haha. Even though I only played like 2 or 3 levels myself, I feel as if I know all the good and bad things about this game. Time flew by as always while watching your video, and there even were some snippets that I had to rewatch because it made me laugh out loud! I really like that humorous style, completely different from your first couple of reviews. Don't feel bad about your impersonation at 5:28, it's f--ing great! Just don't overuse it, but if you use silly things like that a few times in a 27 minute video (like you did here) it does have a very nice and good effect. I really like how you talk about yourself, and the bits about things like malfunctioning camera angles (or the collision system in this one) are always my favourite! It just shows how nothing is perfect, even Crash Bandicoot (which I know is one of your favourite PS1 games), and when you show things like this when discussing a game series, you really see the improvements that the developers made and I really love that! If you keep working (and improving) like you have for the last year I'm 100% sure that you're gonna hit amazing numbers of views and subscribers sooner or later, and you totally deserve it.

You make these so fast :D

Honestly, I'm surprised I was the first one to notice how much this game parallels DKC. You'd think all of the similarities would be a no-brainer given how much people like to compare and contrast games nowadays. But I guess people get too wrapped up in the whole "Sonic's ass game" thing when thinking about influences for this game's development. Not that I think ND took inspiration from DKC. I just think it was a strange coincidence. Still need to play this one. I beat the 2nd and 3rd ones years ago, and I've owned this game for a while now, but what little I played of it didn't impress me super much, so it's on a long bucket list of games to play. Nowadays it feels like I can only play a game if I'm going to record it, too. Otherwise, it feels like I'm wasting time or something. I'm sure you know the feeling.

In response to your Facebook post, please keep the intros to your reviews! The developer/game background section is a part of the extra effort you put in that separates you from most of the game reviewers out there! ..just please don't start doing those generic 30 second intros with cheesy screeching guitars :P

saving the game on the ps1 was hard, i am glad the remake changed it.

Heeeeyyy I played S3&k at my grandparents house too 😂

Resident Evil did a weird save system with INK RIBBONS but no one ever complains about that. So what's wrong with Crash Bandicoot doing it?

5 YEARS LATE SQUAD WHERE YOU AT?!?!??!?!?!?!?

have you played crash bandicoot n sane trilogy?

Wait you mention Ripper Roo, N. Brio, and Cortex, but you leave out Koala Kong and Pinstripe (aka the best character)?! Wow...

Do Spyro the Dragon

I remember when the remaster came out and I questioned how did my 7 year old self beat this game? Then I found out the developers made the controls worse... on an already challenging game... I hate Dan Tanguay and his team so much for that.

My friends at school make fun of me for being good at platformers. They play PVP games, and I'm trying to get into them. I'm not great at them.

My mother actually managed to 100% the game and i deleted her save file when i was little xD

It's out for 6 minutes and the video is 25 minutes long, but 2 peoples still liked the video. :p

9:25 How can you blame the game for that? You make that whole thing in one jump, not with whatever you tried to do. That aside, good analysis, as always.

This game really shines in the remake. They fixed most of the complaints, albeit adding some smaller ones.

“As somebody who plays tons and tons of platformers” and who uses a 99 lives code XD

So you think it is okay that you have one life to gather each gemstone per level; but you are not okay with having to pause and reload for 13ish seconds to restart the level. Sorry, but if you are insane enough to go after such a bullshit challenge, you should suffer for it.

Crash Bandicoot is one of the greatest pure platformers of all time, up there with Donkey Kong Country, Yoshi, Sonic and Mario.
