13 years out from F-Zero and they still couldn't figure this shit out
were they given a single week to make this
2004
Easily the best non-ND entry, and the first to have actual new, interesting ideas. Everybody that acts like this is glitchy, short, or unfinished is an unthinking sheep led astray by millennial YouTubers. Glitches are not common at all, the game is just slightly shorter than any other Crash game, and the game isn’t unfinished, it just has a lot of cut content (yes, these are different)
The platforming is the only moderately fun part, which sucks since the racing is more than half the game. Unfortunately, Radical brought such a gross vibe to the series which ruins any enjoyment that could be had
2006
Barely a game. Probably makes it better than mind over mutant, which is, unfortunately, undoubtedly a game

One of my least favorite phrases that you see a lot on the internet is “it's a good game, just not a good “x” game”. Like, are your preconceived notions of what your favorite game series should be so narrow and unimaginative that anything out of the ordinary is immediately put into the “other” category? Or is it more of an effort to weakly defend your tastes by “othering” it, automatically conceding that it's not a real “x” game? Either way I hate when people do that and I hate this game. It's an abysmal game AND an abysmal Crash game
How do you make an absymal game even worse? Make it open world with fixed camera angles, constant backtracking and embarrasing pop culture references. One of the worst games I've ever played, so happy Radical were only allowed to make three disasters before Activision put Crash on hiatus
disgusting mobile microtransaction slop - wait it has glup shitto character from 90's LCD game that only true Crash fans like me would remember? nevermind, it's peak
ugly with worse music and fucked up hitboxes but it's mostly intact so it's enjoyable. just really no reason to play any of these over the originals unless you suck at Crash 1 or really like poorly implemented relics

I almost fainted when I pressed A after jumping and Spyro double jumped instead of gliding. Then I got to the first Blink minigame and I died in real life
2005
It's insane how awful this is and it's still probably not even top 3 worst Spyro games. Inspirational
2006
abysmal game but incredible time capsule of mid-2000s internet zeitgeist
like that same white bread and bologna sandwich, except this time you get some mustard, only the mustard was hid by some incompetent moron in a spot you'll never find without using youtube
2010
Good, but loses the amazing atmosphere and vibe of the first and doesn't make up for it. The green stars are some of the most boring shit in any Mario game as well, thank god for dolphin emulator
