Movement feels shit and sluggish, jumping feels like shit, level design is bad.
I used to think pretending this game is good was just a cope by PS fanboys for not getting Super Mario 64, but there are better platformers than Ape Escape on PSX like Spyro. I realized it is actually just Japan worship weebfaggotry.

Jumping Flash games are the only good 3d platformers from that gen.

Surprisingly many PS1 games just don't hold up. A lot of that has to do with the obvious fact that they're 3D games made for a fucking d-pad

Plenty of better platformers on the ps1. This one just had a lot of marketing and memorable character design.

So is Mario 64, all collectathons have bad level design.

2D platformers are side-scrollers.
Crash has some side-scrolling stages (with awful hitbox detection) but most of it is lifted from Hugo's corridor platforming.

Shut the fuck up you pedantic mental gymnast faggot.
Crash IS similar in design to sidescroller platformers, the only difference is the directions the player can go and the camera position.
