Those of you who have been jealous of your friends N64 because of Mario 64, your savior has arrived. The best way to think of Croc is to think Mario 64 for the PlayStation. Croc takes most of it's ideas from the past greats of the genre. Croc looks almost exactly like Mario 64, he collects diamonds which work like Sonic's rings, Croc even wears a backpack like Laura Croft in Tomb Raider. Croc's graphics are top notch. The visuals are smooth and colorful, it is obvious that the development team spent a lot of time perfecting them. The only problem with Croc's graphics is that textures are used over and over again in each world, making the levels seem very similar. The sound is the lowest point of the game though. The music is cool and fits the levels well, but the sound effects are way to cute. Croc yells "KER-SPLAT" and "KER-POW" every time he does his tail attack, and the other game effects are equally cute. The control faulters too. I played the game with a digital controller and the control was okay, but you really need an analog controller to really enjoy this game. Although I read in a magazine's review of Croc that when you press down on the analog stick he takes a step forward, then turns around, which can make you fall off of cliffs. Overall this game is fun, if you can stomach the extremely cute elements of Croc. If you are looking for a good, clean game to play, Croc is right up your alley.
