What is the best Crash Bandicoot game?

[Sonicwolf]

Does anyone else find the first two Crash games expensive now? Every time I check eBay it seems they are passing the 30 - 40 dollar mark.

I almost died a few days ago when I went to a friends house and found a Crash Bandicoot disc, SMASHED by one of his other friends.

I've often felt that the Crash Bandicoot games were a "guilty pleasure" of mine because they SEEM to be kid's games but I played that first one, got hooked and have been on that same fishing line ever since.

Crash 2 was my favorite.

Crash 2 fixed a lot of "clunkiness" of the first game most importantly, but added the ability to SAVE more often (a really annoying issue of the first game). I LOVED Crash Team Racing, too... indeed, as others have mentioned it was really more fun than any of the Mario Kart games up to that point. It had better mechanics if not the more recognizable "names". I also really enjoyed Crash 3 on PS1. I enjoyed pretty much ALL of these games, really. The first 360 offering "Crash of the Titans" was a whole lot of fun, too. Felt very old-school, which is always a good thing.

Long live this series, regardless of
