Pros:

- Great textures
- Amazing Cutscenes
- Mix mash of perspectives in L4D
- Custom music
- Use of bosses
- Great stage setup
- Perfect use and placement of machines that give ammo and health
- Alot of places are fall damage proofed.
- Use of teleportation is sweet
- Minor puzzles keeps you in use of your head, and not mindless zombie killing
- Adds alot of platforming tactics
- Use of crates rarely gets old
- Jimmy Gibbs junior snow monsters ( LOL)

Cons:

- The ending time limit is far too short
- The beginning is a bit uncalled for
- Too much nitro bombs that you cannot pick-up
- Supple amount of pills
- Some places bots fall off repeatedly

Conclusion:

I've never played Crash Bandicoot. And I still loved this campaign. I would explain on how good it is, but theres too much. Just download it and you'll see what I mean.

This. Was. AWESOME. the Nostalgia is Great (As was the Campaign itself) and Tough the Final level was Brutally Hard, the Music and Finale was EPIC.

Nice work there, You Deserve a Medal for this.

Pros:

A fair amount of Crash 1-3 Levels for some healthy nostalgia (albeit not carbon copies but QUITE close), GREAT design in general showing that even a simple concept such as this campaign mod CAN be complex, & tons of Sounds, Textures, & Enemies from the Original Games that made it feel unusually similar to playing a Crash game. I also really enjoyed the fact that the crates are all destructible and some can actually be bounced on & the goofy cutscenes and writing on the walls throughout the campaign.

Cons:

[NOTE: I ONLY played on Easy. Playing Hard as you read this] Generous on Ammo & Health/Defib (although more so the Ammo) & Some levels we're a little lacking on undead while others may have gone overboard (The Rainy Temple level with the side-pushing pillars comes to mind.) It could have used more original enemies actually FROM crash but that's not that important to me.

Conclusion:

A must-play (IMO) definitely for any fan of the Crash Bandicoot Series, but even just L4D fans looking for some comic relief. Would DEFINITELY give a full 10 if ammo/health drops are toned down, or at least tweaked sufficiently. PLAY THIS. PLEASE, you'll be doing yourself a favor :)

Pros:

Sounds
Animations
JUMP CRATES :D
Nitro Crates
TNT Countdown
Sound effects
MUSIC :D

Cons:

NOT A SINGLE THING

Conclusion:

I don't even want to know how much programming this took, so nostalgic hearing those songs and seeing those maps again XD

You Rock man, if you make more let us know, like do Spyro the dragon or something :D

how do i cross the bridge in level 2?

Hit the action block on the roof of the house next to the river, you need to use the jump crate to get up there.
