God it's strange that everyone praises Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped to high heaven and claim it's the best of the original trilogy. It's fine for what it is. I don't hate it but I prefer 1 and 2 over it simply because of those boring and not very enjoyable vehicle levels like the motorbike levels, coco's jetski levels and the plane levels.
They just ruin the flow of the game for me and I always play the regular platforming levels before them in each world.
And yes I know there were levels like that in the first 2 but the regular fun platforming levels still made up the vast majority of those games.
If you were to count Crash bandicoot 4: It's About Time in the quadrilogy I'd say Crash 3 is the worst of the quadrilogy.
