Crash 54%Review:
First impressions are excellent, as your character is a very good likeness for the titular hero and the skeleton is straight out of the Ray Harryhausen school of animation. The use of monochrome graphics over a yellow background also allows for some quite fluid animation.Of course there is a major downside to the graphical performance and that comes down to the actual gameplay itself. The action composes of only a few simplistic moves, backed up by feeble sound effects. It quickly becomes tedious but it cannot be faulted on its visuals.
