Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy Tops The UK Charts For Eighth Consecutive Week

Wow. Hopefully this is one of the causes of the delay of the Spyro trilogy. Activision did everything right with this remaster and, from what I have heard, were trying to cut corners with Spyro. This shows that the community wants these games, and will keep buying them if the standard is top notch.

The Bryan Adams of video games.

..and you gave it 7/10.

WoW. Who even plays that anymore. 🤓

UK really loves this damn bandicoot.

@Fandabidozi Everyone every time a new expansion comes out. Then the player base dies out again.

Crash will probably stay in 1st until FIFA 19 releases.

@SmaggTheSmug I don't,I always hated that damn bandicoot

So in the Top Ten we have: Breath of the Wild (17 months after launch), Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (15 months after launch) and Super Mario Odyssey (9 months after launch). Not bad for a market that is not traditionally strong for Nintendo.

Crash for Smash!

Crash is not good games. I never played them as a kid. And I’m glad. Unfortunately I bought the collection as my gf liked them when she was little. But I really don’t see the greatness. The gameplay is repetitive and the controls are subpar. I can’t really think of any redeeming factors.

We love us some Crash! Naughty Dog at its finest.

I mean I know it's a new expansion, but seeing World of Warcraft a game, an MMO released originally 14 years ago, in a top 10 chart like this is mind blowing. The game was released before half my students were born.

Calling the gameplay repetitive shows you never actually saw the game in any great length. This game has 3D running levels, underwater scuba sections, 2.5D platforming sections, mini games and boat and vehicle levels. Hardly repetitive. Controls were a bit wonky though, like most ps1 games.

I just bought the physical recently. I have just a few gems remaining but got all three titles up to 90 %.

I think they made the first one easier. If I remember correctly, you only had one chance at a bonus stage and/or could only save the game after completing it successfully. Damn, the stress they put on us pre-teens back then...

CB2 is the best and Crash at its peak. CB3 is crap and the did all the mistakes Hollywood does with a 2nd sequel. Just put more quantity and forget about what made the franchise good. The racing, the flying, the shooting, ... blergh.

Still happy I got this trilogy and I think the port is fantastic.

@MichaelHarvey I’ve been playing it since release on switch. So yes I’ve seen it. The gameplay is very repetitive. Run, jump, spin, destroy boxes, find gem repeat. The scenery is quite diverse though. But not terribly exciting. Mostly it’s the wonky controls that hamper my enjoyment though since I die so often that I have to repeat the same levels 60 times to even get the most basic gem.

@Ladasta
Fair enough. I guess we all see things from a different point of view.

It's difficult not to love the N-Sane trilogy, that game I could always return to but games like Super Mario Galaxy, GTA V, God of War, Call of Duty, Zelda BotW, and Madden 19, those once I play them and beat them there's really no point in coming back to them anymore.

I can see why a revamped version of Crash would do well, but I'm surprised it's still going like this, even if it's out for all platforms.

They were fun games back in the day, and I think each improved on the former, but I don't have much interest in them today because I did everything you could do. I mean spending ages getting the platinum relics everything you could do.

Think its safe to say, those that made the remasters will probably be confident enough to create a "Crash 4".

I never saw the appeal in these games, mind you I tried each of them several times. Found the platforming & controls to be flawed, and the level design was definitely not my cup of tea. Compared to other games in the genre I had back then they were pretty awful.

Hmm. I wonder how many copies of Crash are Switch copies honestly.

@Yosher The Xbox One version is still selling better:

A big factor will be it's three pretty good games for less than the price of one. On the Switch especially it's an absolute steal at 30 quid.

@Justaguest popularity doesn’t always mean quality...I mean look at Bryan Adams
