how good is croc?

It's a 3D platformer with tank controls.

Basically, it's not worth playing.

The first game is okay, but as talonman said, the controls could've been better.  Imagine (classic) Tomb Raider's controls in a platform game, and you have an idea.  The music's the best part of the game.

I didn't even have the patience to finish Croc 2.  World 2 was much harder than it needed to be.

I've only played the demo but I didn't care for it at all.  A shame, because I love Phil Hartman.

Yeah, Croc has nice music.

Billy West based Zapp on Phil Hartman (Who the character was modeled after, but, of course, he was killed before he could play him) and Blasto was sort of a prototype of that character.

I still remember the first time I saw Zapp Brannigan on Futurama. I literally wondered if someone had recorded Phil's voice before he died because it was just so close. Billy West did a great job with his voice.

i recall blasto sounding like zapp when i just heard that hartman played him. also, it is amazing how much billy sounds like phil. i was shocked when i heard that he played fry and zapp.

I haven't played it in ages, but it's just as good as the original. Just don't bother with the PSN version since, according to Speedy, it's in Japanese for some reason.

I assume the publisher must have lost the original code for the English version, or something.
