#The best playstation 1 games series
For those looking for the Crash Bandicoot experience, then 1997's Cortex Strikes Back is the best the series has to offer. The controls were tightened up, and levels were given more variety to keep the player coming back for more of the bandicoot's journey to defeat Cortex.
Crash 2 featured an array of environments and characters that would define the franchise, such as the polar bear and penguins on the snow levels that fans of the series dearly remember. While any of the original Crash Bandicoot trilogy could easily stand out in a crowd of platformers, Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back takes the cake as the premier title of the three. Similar to Spyro, it took what was great from the original game and made them even better.
