Croc: Legend of the Gobbos Reviews

Customer Ratings:

This game is way better than Croc 2! It has comfortable camera

angles and really cool sounds and graphics! I'm hardly through

the first level but I really like it! Every level has alot of

variety and different bad guys in it. Controls are easy to learn

and easy to use, but the Playstation game pad isn't very comfortable for this game so you should get another one for better controls. In this game Croc can do alot of cool different

things like swimming under water jumping on enemies and riding

hot air ballons just to name a few. This game has lots of cool

things in it. The graphics are totally jawdropping compared to

the graphics in Croc 2. Croc makes his debut on Game Boy Color,

Plastation, and not on Computer. My only complaint about this

super-cool game is that Croc can only kill enemies with his body

by jumping on them. And can't tail-whip them like he can in Croc

2. Even if that move is disabled from Croc, this game is an

excellent classic. If you're at a store and you're trying to

decide which game to by, if you have a Playstation by this cool

game, if you don't by this game for Game Boy Color, and if you

don't have one you're really unlucky, and you shoudn't buy it for

Computer even though you have one...

I think this game is more than most of the review make it out to be. This game is SUPPOSED to be challenging, and it is not as frustrating as most think. It's actually really adorable, and has a good setting with cute characters. The camera mode you do have to fiddle with though. But you do get used to it. I was definately hooked on this game, cute, challenging, and fun. 5 stars all the way!

Though the game is very appealing in regards to its visual style, the controls are abyssmal. In level 1-3 at the end of the level, you are required to perform a "whack-a-mole" type game in order to get the last gobbo. Since the controls (or uncontrols) are glitchy at best and unplayable at worst, the game begins to not be a game and more of a nuisance. The analog versus digital controls have no bearing to eachother and you find yourself toggling back and forth just so you can have some margin of control. A game to avoid by any standard.

Honest reviews on Croc: Legend of the Gobbos

I missed the old 90's platformers so I got this used for $5.00. No complaints as far as the game's entertainment value or condition. However I have gotten rather spoiled from today's platformers like the LBP series. Man I started playing and got instantly pissed off at having to turn Croc in the direction he was going before moving him forward. As mentioned in previous comments the most annoying part is having to dodge enemies or having to time your jumps almost perfectly in a few of the mini games with these old digital controls. You better practice shifting from left to right in mid-air if you want to find all those gobbos.

To be a bit more specific about the controls you can move the camera using the R2 and L2 buttons. You can't see all around you but it helps a lot sometimes when you need a better view of what's ahead. If you want to make a perfect 180 degree turn just hit the circle button. Use L1 and R1 for small side steps left and right.

Lol I guess you can say I cheated a bit. One reviewer mentioned the wac-a-sheep challenge being annoying. Well annoying it may be but it's nothing compared to the cauldron challenge in the "Dungeon of Defright" level. Ugh just thinking of that level makes me want to throw that black pot in a pit of lava. Basically it's a lot like the sheep challenge only jewels are falling from the sky and you need to catch them in the cauldron. You have to catch a total of 38 items including 2 hearts and a gobbo. If you miss even one you have to move on to the next part of the dungeon without rescuing the gobbo. I had succeeded in this once and only ONCE, only for me to fail the wac-a-reaper challenge (which I could pass easily) and still be stuck with only 5 mf gobbos. Can you say Irony? Well I don't have the kind of time I did as a kid. Fortunately I accidently found a way around this.

The first challenge in the level is one where you have three boxes and you have to guess which box the gobbo is under after they get switched around. Here's what you do: be sure to have stocked up on lives before starting the level. Guess the correct box, grab the gobbo, and let the dantini kill you. When you reaper the lil fuzzball will be right in front of you, box free. Grab it again and keep letting the dantini kill you until you're sure you'll have at least six by the end of the level. Complete the level and viola, you can save as many gobbos as you want and you'll be allowed to get the jigsaw piece from the first secret level of Dante's castle.

Overall I enjoyed the game a lot. I never finished it as a kid so 12 years later here I am. It felt good to finally rescue all the lonely gobbos and finally give poor cute lil Croc a breather. Getting to 100 percent wasn't terribly difficult, and the bosses were RIDICULOUSLY easy. I guess that was they're way of making up for the annoying controls. Don't worry though. If we could do this when we were kids we can do it 2 diplomas and several much more difficult games later.

This is completely for you this game consists of many things that make it an awesome classic

Lots to collect

5 stars on this

#1. This is a platform game so theres much to collect such as white crystals they are like your health bar get hit once lose them all but you get about 5-7 seconds to pick them up again after that poof their gone gobbos their hidden all over every level theres 6 in total 5 in the main area and 1 in the secret challange area to get to this you have to collect 5 color crystals to unlock a special door theres also keys in some levels small silver keys are usually to unlock a small cage contaning a button to open a door or a gobbo jumping around speaking its snout off but in some cases theres no switch for this look for a large gold key that will usually open a door with a gold keylock on it the key will dissapear after use.

#2

4 stars on this

the controlls are quite comfortable exept this difficulty that haunts me through the whole game is the camera angels it dosent let you adjust it appently it ajusts itself in a in a pretty dumb way which makes it hard to jump from platform to platform making it frustrating to repeat over and over but that can be overlooked with the awesome gameplay

#3 5 stars on this I love the bosses from some that chase and tackle you to some that shoot fire and ice bolts at you some that jump at you from the water not to mention the obstacles like when jumping little fire balls with faces running around a platform or flame or ice blotches jumping up from the ice river or lava river so be carefull when jumping

#4 characters are really cute not much violence in this game but dont be fooled its a pretty tough game itl take a while to beat 100% so this isnt only for kids

#5 this game is just so well put together i love the music its so calming and relaxing the story is deep without having many cutsceens and the graphics are pretty nice has a few difficulty not as seamless as they say but it still has pretty clear graphics

#6 its just plain awesome oh wait your waiting for cons right THERE ARE NONE! just the whole camera angle thing but its not much value on the scale of awesomeness so go out get this it will last very long months of entertainment if you want 100% oh and not to spoil anything but theres special jigsaw puzzle peices that unlock a secret!........ well i cant say read the manual and see where it takes you enjoy this great classic!
