I think most of you can't remember before the PS2 days. Some of you are saying that Crash was never owned by Sony. That is correct, in the PS2 days. Some of you are saying that Crash always sucked. That is correct, in the PS2 days. Some of you are saying that Crash was never that popular. Again, that is correct, in the PS2 days. In the PS2 days... In the PS2 days... In the stupid PS2 days... Is there anyone out there that remembers the PS1 days? Anyone out there that remembers all of those Crash Bandicoot commercials that littered the T.V? Anyone remember all of those news articles of Crash Bandicoot, rivaling Sonic, and Mario?
Anyone remember those news articles with Crash, Sonic, and Mario, all pictured, representing their companies? Anyone remember that? Anyone remember going to video game stores, and seeing a picture of Crash Bandicoot that reffered to the PS1 isle, a picture of Sonic that referred to the Saturn, or Dreamcast isle, and a picture of Mario that reffered to the Nintendo 64 isle? (Well, maybe not in video game stores, or at least, not just video game stores, but basically with anything regarding video games). I've played all of the mascot games. Every single Mario game. Almost every single Sonic game (before he went bad). Almost every single Crash game (before he went bad), and sorry to say, Ratchet and Jak, although good, just don't possess the magic that they had (at least I personally think so, but I'm not alone... Or so I think I'm not...) Like I said, Jak and Daxter was very good. It was "Mario" quality. Or at least almost...
But Jak 2 and Jak 3? They took everything I loved about the original, and threw it down the drain. Never got into the Sly's. A theif can never be a mascot anyways. Looks kind of bad for the company. LOL, if Sony's mascot was Sly, people would be making jokes about Sony stealing and stuff. Anyways, Ratchet is okay too. The first one was just a little bit boring, and repetitive. The others are good too. Far better than any Pac-Man World, TY the Tasmanian Tiger, or Blinx (oohh the agony...). Well, I guess those platformers weren't that bad, but they didn't measure up to Ratchet, and definitely couldn't touch Mario.
