C Bandicoot, the marsupial for PlayStation, is back.
In this third installment of the popular action-game series, Dr.
N. Trophy has built a time machine to collect the gems and
crystals dropped by Dr. Neo Cortex. Joining this dastardly group
is Dr. Cortex's boss Uka Uka, a freaky floating that is out
to crush C. It is up to C and his sister, Coco, to
conquer this threatening threesome and grab the goodies.
Warped offers 25 levels of challenging solo action. If you have a
dual shock controller, this game takes full advantage of its
vibration feature, which is especially fun when a dinosaur is
chasing C. The music is appropriate to the action and the
controls are easy to use. But it's the graphics that make this a
stand-alone title. A team of artists worked on this game to
design seamless movement that is more like an interactive cartoon
than a game.
Novice gamers will enjoy this title for its ease of movement and
challenging gameplay. Hardcore gamers will appreciate its hidden
secrets and shortcuts. And how can you go wrong with Arabian
cities, underwater worlds, medieval times, menacing frogs,
pirate-head cannonballs, and creepy scorpions? C Bandicoot
Warped is a goofy game with enough fun features to satisfy both
diehard and beginning gamers. --Kasty Thomas
Pros:
* Superior graphics
* Dual-shock capabilities fully utilized
* Hours of gaming
Cons:
* None!

Review
------
C Bandicoot started life as Sony's attempt at a mascot. He
did reasonably well but never quite caught on like Mario or
Sonic. But regardless of his status as a mascot, C has always
managed to make a good game. In C Bandicoot 3, the evil Dr.
Cortex is up to no good yet again with a new band of henchmen for
you to defeat. This time the game takes place across a great
expanse of time and space, making for greatly diverse level
designs, which in turn keep the game fresh.
The 30 different levels are mostly composed of the same 3D
platform-jumping obstacle-evading C levels that we're used
to. Some levels, however, allow you to take control of vehicles
such as a biplane, motorcycle, or Jet Ski. These levels are
almost like little minigames that spice up the action and break
up themonotony.
As before, when you go through the levels you are rewarded with
crystals and gems. In C 3, you can also collect a relic for
beating a level within a certain a of time. Also new to the
third game is the ability to learn new moves upon defeating a
boss. Abilities like the super belly flop, double jump, super
spin, and super run definitely help you to get through the levels
faster. These moves will also help you unlock secret levels.
Visually, C 3 is flawless. The smooth character animations
and bright, colorful landscapes make the game look like a
cartoon. Amazing attention to detail and gorgeous lighting
effects give torches, lasers, and other illuminating objects in
the world a life of their own. All of this along with a
refreshingly fast and steady frame rate easily makes C 3 one
of the most beautiful PlayStation games ever.
C 3 even delivers in the audio department. It has outstanding
music, sound effects, and character voice-overs that are not only
extremely well done, but the onscreen lip-synching is almost
perfectly matched to the voice.
In the end, C Bandicoot 3 is easily the best C yet. Every
aspect of thegame is better: new moves, levels, bosses, graphics,
sound, and gameplay. It'sthe most fun I've had with a 3D platform
game in a long, long time. It's a must-have for fans of
platformers.
