@No:
They were prety painfull if you wanted to get a gem though.
I stil am sad they never re used the water scooter segments from 2.
And yeah , I hated the flying stages for the same thing that I hated the driving stages…...well one of the things.
You have a strict as fuck time limit and cannot move any faster even with the acquisition of new abilities.....yet while playing the time trials, even when you shoot down the last plane/blimp , you have to acount for several seconds of an uncontrolable animation of Crash flying into the exit, while the clock is stil going.
@ Nolus: actualy I don't think you ever jump on leaves in the water levels in the second game, you did that in the first.
Really? Then what was in the second game? And why can't I remember? Oh, wait, was there a snow stage? Memories, memories…
Actually the gems weren't that important to me. There are only a few games that I want to finish completely (100%). My brother however… I think he could collect everything in the third game. I remember there was a bonus stage after he did all the bonus things. I may be wrong though...
Damn, now I want to play these games. In order this time. It's a shame but I've never finished the first two.
