I admire how faithful the developers were with this remake. However, there are loads of moments in this game they could have taken some creative influence to make things better for the modern audience. So many levels are plagued with bad camera angels and other QoL issues that are held over from the original. Also why did they remove the cheats??

Improves upon the first game in so many ways. It feels like they really learned a lot from it. The outdated camera now feels like it has the proper camera adapted for it. I also really appreciate the shorter levels and hub levels. It ultimately makes the game feel shorter but a much more satisfying experience. As for the new content, some of the newer mechanics do come with new issues. Why are the bounces that the nitro boxes do RNG? A good platformer should have no form of random movements or RNG. Also the new jet pack mechanic is unwieldy and feels annoyingly slow to control for a standard Crash level. With that being said, it was actually really fun to use for the final boss fight! With that being said, the boss fights across the board in this one were probably too easy though this is a tricky balance because I don’t think they are easier than the first game, just that the movement mechanics feel way better in this one.
