History YMMV / CrashBandicootNSaneTrilogy

* RemadeAndImproved: While the original three games are widely beloved pioneers of the 3D era of gaming, the ''N-Sane Trilogy'' is considered much better. Not only have the graphics and animation been updated for modern audiences, but smoother controls, the ability to play as Coco through all three games, and some AntiFrustrationFeatures for the original game arguably make the ''N. Sane Trilogy'' the definitive way to play the series' [=PS1=] entries.

** Similarly, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmOHIwas8DM N. Brio's boss theme,]] with its added guitar riffs, became a memorable song, also fitting for his NintendoHard bonus levels.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAtQTOD8GZA Rock It/Pack Attack,]] generally considered close if not superior to the original. More impressive considering it is the most remixed track and potentially the most beloved of the original trilogy.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2F9ATNVjzDU Cortex's boss theme]] from ''2''. Matter of fact, same with the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDJKhTKTZAE boss theme from the first game.]] And [[RuleOfThree also]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xHoGnYyS3U the third.]] And even [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSXEgpA6bGw the hologram music]] from ''2''.

** The Platform/NintendoSwitch version did need some downgrades to run on less powerful hardware (the game is a bit darker, mutants' fur is slightly less detailed, and ''Warped'' future levels mirrors lack reflection), but aside from some loss of graphical detail, it's pretty much the same game as the other versions, runs at a fairly stable 30FPS like the [=PS4=] and Xbox One versions, and the load times are even shorter than the initial [=PS4=] release. It's also been noted to run well in handheld mode, making it a good way to play the games on the go. Bonus points for it having the DLC right on the cartridge editions, though the Xbox One, PC, and even later print-run [=PS4=] editions have that.

* BestLevelEver: Most fans tend to be in agreement that the new ''Warped'' level, "Future Tense", is one of the most well-designed levels ever seen in the ''Crash'' series, with multiple branching paths, well-hidden secrets, and clever integration of boss powers into the level design. For many, it's quashed any doubts that Vicarious Visions is capable of making a classic-style Crash game from the ground up [[note]] However, Toys For Bob ended up being the ones to make [[VideoGame/CrashBandicoot4ItsAboutTime the sequel]] and ultimately inherit the ''Crash'' series as Vicarious Visions were busy remaking the first 2 ''VideoGame/TonyHawksProSkater'' games at the time and later moved over to Creator/BlizzardEntertainment's development teams[[/note]], and finally broken the long-held notion that [[OnlyTheCreatorDoesItRight only Naughty Dog knows how to make Crash work]]. Even with it being a BrutalBonusLevel and difficult as hell, it pushes your abilities and skills to the limit without ever being frustrating or as ridiculously precise as "Stormy Ascent".
