/vr/ - Retro Games

I replayed it recently. Thought it was great as a child, but my god is the level design mediocre. Most of the challenge is from the shitty control and camera, but the actual level design is basic and repetitive.
>jump up on large platform at awkward camera angle. wait 5 seconds for a slowly moving platform. jump again.
>Repeat four more times.
90% of the deaths are just the same bottomless pit traps

Nobody has ever said that this game is anything more or less than mediocre.

I agree.

Fun fact! This game was originally pitched to Nintendo to be a Yoshi game. If this game were to star Yoshi, and have Mario themed enemies...but everything else were the same. Do you think this game would be remembered more fondly? I just went back and played it...it's definitely a decent game. Frustrating camera and controls are annoying at times...but overall...a very fun game!

Love this game, but everyone uses it as an example for bad mascot platformers.
Honestly, I think Kao the Kangaroo is a much better target for those people.
I didn't much care for Croc 2

Sonic Adventure is definitely a game you had to play at the time it was released.
I never owned a Dreamcast growing up, so when I tried to play the game for the first time recently, I couldn't look past the shit controls, awful camera, bad level design, and inexcusable glitches that would take a life whenever going above walking speed on a curve.

Yet I get all these people who claim it's the best Sonic game to date and that those issues are just part of the charm.

So, Is Croc: Legend of the Gobbos a good game?
