This is probably a backward step from Crash Time IV. There is less freedom when driving, with more racing based levels and the world is less exciting.

With a bit of cleaning up, the next Crash Time could almost be a 5/5 game. The thing I like most about this game is that to me the environment feels more real than other similar games like Driver/NFS and so on. There are a few annoying bits with it sometimes not being too clear on what to do and the game giving you stupid directions, but it's fairly fun and has a sense of originality to it.

A very unoriginal game in all areas for the first Crash game on a sixth generation console. If you have played 1-3, this is extremely unessential.

This is up there with Muppet RaceMania as the best kart game on the psx. This has better driving physics and could easily be put on the top of the list, its just the humour of the characters and that Muppet RaceMania took longer to complete that put this a close second in my opinion. A great kart game that still holds up in the modern era. Gameplay 4.5/5 Graphics 4/5 Sound 4/5 Difficulty 4.5/5 Originality 4/5

This can't be said for a lot of videogame franchises, but the first three Crash games, four if you want to include CTR, were all worthwhile additions to a collection. They all added enough new features to keep a platforming fan satisfied. Gameplay 4.5/5 Graphics 4.5/5 Sound 4.5/5 Difficulty 4.5/5 Originality 4/5
