Criticism of the game centered around aspects such as character controls and the original trilogy's pitfalls. Justin Clark of Slant criticized the trilogy as "stultifying in [its] need for absolute precision" and stated that achievements provoked "little reward". [37] Dornbush was less critical of the level design, but noted that the first game was "easily the weakest" for its limited move set, [34] while Ashley Oh of Polygon found some design choices "unforgiving and frustrating" and agreed that there was "no margin of error" in much of the platforming. [35] Sales [ edit ] If you like your history with a mix of blood-thirsty battles and button-mashing fun, then Ghost Of Sparta should be in your PSP Disc Arsenal! Most of the games in the franchise are platform games, although the series also includes other genres such as racing video games, party games and endless runners.

The latest game in the series is Crash Bandicoot: On the Run!, released in March 2021 for Android and iOS.

Amongst them there was a mysterious project named Crash Online. The game was set for a release in 2007, but a small copy of its logo was in fact the only thing that has ever been revealed. It was probably going to be exclusive to China and would have required players to pay a fee for each play session. The game can be classified as vaporware, given that it was never publicly cancelled.
