bass lines you can handle, as well as newly recorded dialogue from some
of the familiar voice actors who appear in the original Crash Bandicoot
games, including Jess Harnell, Lex Lang and Debi Derryberry, among
others.
New features of the trilogy include playing as Coco, Crash’s smart and
spirited little sister who comes complete with her own set of special
