It was re-released for the Sony Greatest Hits line-up on September 15, 1997 and for the Platinum Range on March 1998. It has since been re-released as a downloadable game for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Portable via PlayStation Network in North America in 2006 and in the PAL regions in 2007.Crash Bandicoot is the first installment in the Crash Bandicoot series, chronicling the creation of the titular character at the hands of the series antagonist Doctor Neo Cortex and his henchman Doctor Nitrus Brio . The game's story follows Crash's effort to stop his creators' plans for world domination, clean up any pollution they have caused, and save his girlfriend Tawna , a female bandicoot also evolved by Doctor Cortex and Nitrus Brio.Crash Bandicoot received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised the game's graphics and visual style as well as the controls, but noted the game's lack of innovation as a platform game. The game would later go on to become the seventh best-selling PlayStation video game of all time and the first installment in an equally high-selling video game series.Gameplay Crash Bandicoot gameplay.
