It was a fascinating choice to model the narrative in Crash 4 after a goofy Saturday morning cartoon. On the surface, it makes sense, sure, because crash bandicoot is an adorable animated character and a legendary gaming icon. Not to mention Toys for Bob, developer of crash 4, also made the Spyro reignited trilogy and Skylanders. Both games were a huge success with a younger audience. The interesting thing here is anybody under the age of 15 is going to get their asses handed to them. This was a fairly tough game for me and I am a 34-year-old man (allegedly) who plays games for a living! Crash 4 makes some important strides to move the franchise into the modern era but the overall package is a bit too frustrating and overwrought.
