  Man this is actually my favorite game in the entire series for one reason: its environmental storytelling. What i really like about  this game is its way it uses its levels to tell the story of Crash on his journey. Like he starts on the sandy beaches of N. Sanity Beach, then travels across the quiet jungles and rolling stones, to ending up in abandoned dungeons and temple ruins, to finally stepping foot in the industrialized third island where wildlife mightve been harmed and toxic waste pollutes the island of its clean air. The final boss fight is a truly great conclusion to the story as the castle and its industrial buildings are set on fire which really shows how much Crash really "crashed" his way to the top to save his girlfriend.

  Crash 1's atmosphere is PEAK, it is kind of hard to explain but the world feels so much bigger than it actually is.

  Crash Bandicoot is one of them games that can be infuriating to the point where you stop playing for a day or so but you play again later. Its really fun but frustrating at the same time 😂

  Definitely the longest video and script I&apos;ve ever created. I went over a lot so please let me know what you enjoy and didn&apos;t. I&apos;d love some critiques on the video and script so comment &nbsp;what you&apos;d like. I plan on the Cortext Strike&apos;s Back video in the future if there someone that enjoys this video<br><br>PS. There’s a tier list at the end I’m making for Crash Games as we go through videos

  breaking boxes is the most satisfying collectable. &nbsp;The sound effects and the way they move are better than anything else.

  The fact that you did the crash dance as a kid was so relatable to me. In 2008 my first facebook account was named Crash Bandicoot and not only i did the dance but i also have pics in crash poses

  I completely agree with your points about the progression. As a kid I remember being so excited to reach each level because it felt like a journey and I was exploring these cool islands. I totally relate to trying to piece to together the lore of these temples and abandoned structures lol. Also agree with Cortex&apos;s fight in 1 being peak. It felt so epic with the background and everthing.

  Hey dude! After watching this video and the one on Crash 2 I really get the feeling you apreciate how games feel among other things which is something I often feel like I&apos;m alone in.<br>When other&apos;s talk about Crash Bandicoot they often praise the visuals, criticise the difficulty in certain levels and so on... but they never talk about how the games feel. Sure you do that too but you don&apos;t stop at that.<br>I&apos;m sure Crash Bandicoot 1 - 2 are the reason I enjoy tropical island settings in games so much, I&apos;m certain Crash Twinsanity is the reason I love all these island inhabitant tiki stuff and I&apos;m positive that if Crash Bandicoot: Warped wouldn&apos;t have ended up in my hands back when I was like 6 years old I wouldn&apos;t still be gaming and enjoying it to this day.<br><br>The impact this franchise had on me is nothing to scoff at and wumpa island is still the first place that comes to mind when someone tells me to think of my &quot;happy place&quot; because it simutaniusly feels like the most relaxing and peacefull place anyone ever came up with and like one big outdoor-adventure park that offers all the fun in the world.
