A perfect score for me is a game that lives up to every expectation I have of it or can barely be improved, moreso than being better than other games of lower ratings. Crash 2 is exactly that. It's still one of my favourite games in this case, but it's no pinnacle of gaming. But it wouldn't feel right to give anything but a 5 given the fact that only the bosses could use some improvement -- And that's discounting N.Gin and Tiny who ARE nothing but good. So yeah. Great game, the best Crash game, in fact.
