Crash Bandicoot Absolute 2

Crash Bandicoot Absolute 2 is a recreation of the popular game with the same name, in which you play the role of Crash Bandicoot, a mutated marsupial. Apart from the original games, in this one it seems that he doesn't have to save his girlfriend but rather find a way back home from a parallel universe.

Decent graphics and gameplay

Crash Bandicoot Absolute 2 takes signature moves from the original character and allows you to make use of them in this version. You can spin yourself into a tornado to take out enemies as well as flatten them by doing a full body slam on the ground.
It’s a classic platformer in which you have to move to the right side of the screen, overcome all the obstacles, collect apples, break boxes and eliminate various types of mutants until you reach your destination, several portals that will take you back to the real Earth.

Completely outdated but still enjoyable

Crash Bandicoot Absolute 2 hasn’t received an update since it was released and for this reason its graphics are in most aspects unappealing and rather rudimentary. The animations are smooth and quite nice, the levels are different each times but even as you progress further into the game, you feel the lack of a real challenge. Most of the time you will die from not jumping at the right time or similar cases.
The biggest disadvantage and a true disappointment to the game is that it runs in a very small window. Of course, you can lower the resolution of your screen to make things a bit bigger but even so it might not be enough. Without having a solution for the little window, you’re not going to fully enjoy all the action.

A nice game for old school PCs

Crash Bandicoot remains a name to remember throughout gaming history but this take on it doesn't really seem to be doing it justice, especially all these years after its release.
