I played FOR DAYS the PS1 crash and spyro series! they were awesome, and even after working as a developer on one of the later spyro games for the ps2/wii: NOTHING has come close to the naughty dog and insomniac classics! (for which, I might add, you can blame the publishers who bought the rights, and their marketing nubs who "know what the mainstream noobs want" started dictating direction. just like with every other modern game )
