Not rating it for now, but I'm finding it a bit hard to muster the willpower to play it. Crash 4 certainly is a good game in many factors, yet it angers me often enough that I can't play more than 2-3 levels at a time before I have to close it and play something else to cool off.

I'm constantly going back and forth on how the game controls and its completion requirements, because for a game with such a colorful and child-friendly appearance, Crash 4 is a total ball-crusher in difficulty. There's nothing wrong with that considering that previous Crash games were pretty much the same in design philosophy, but with so few advancements in the standard formula showcased, it feels a bit weaker than it should.

Maybe Crash Bandicoot isn't my thing, and that's totally okay. While I do remember liking the classic trilogy and even pulling some fun out of Wrath of Cortex and Twinsanity in the past, it's possible things changed with time.
