About this product

Product Information

In Croc, you play Croc (ironically enough), a lively crocodile who was raised by the Gobbos. Jealous of their happiness, the evil Baron Dante took over the Gobbos Valley and enslaved all of them. Beany the Bird was able to help Croc escape and now he must free the Gobbos from their enslavement.<br><br>Croc: Legend of the Gobbos has five stages that are broken into 40 levels. A total of nine bosses exist along with an entire host of evil creatures who must be overcome on your way to defeating Baron Dante. In the game you will be required to perform precision platform jumping during exploration through a 3D world. You can choose between three camera angles but the camera rotates on its own as you move.

    This Game Is A Hidden, Spherical, Green-Colored Gem That Opens Up A Bonus Door

    This isn't the best game- pretty flawed and nowhere near the level of polish that games like Mario and Spyro would have- but it's alright! The graphics are very polygonal and archaic, yet colorful and lively enough that I'd argue they still hold up today in a charming way. The music, by Justin Scharvona, is near flawless and one of my favorite video game OSTs. Gameplay is where things get a tad bit shaky- the controls are definitely the most disputed aspect. They're flawed, sure, and take a lot of adjusting to get used to, but I highly appreciate the fact that the level design is built around the controls, in which sense I'd call them tolerable (except with the dang analog stick- don't play with the Dualshock on, it's pretty awkward). The level design is decent, but also very "meh" in a lot of ways- collectibles are present but most aren't particularly well hidden or guarded, leaving very little satisfaction upon getting them since no obstacle was overcome to obtain them. There are puzzles, but most of them are pretty basic and consist simply of mundane stuff like collecting a key and back-tracking back to a place where you remember finding a key. Where the game definitely shines the most is when it presents raw, enjoyable platforming- parts that, once again, get by despite the strange controls because they were built with said controls in mind. This is why I think Croc, for the most part, works on the playing front despite occasionally- well, alright, somewhat frequently frustrating moments. All in all, Croc might not be a game for everyone; it's by no means perfect, and if you're too adjusted to tight games like Mario 64 then you probably won't enjoy it. Perhaps maybe I'm a bit biased towards the game because I did a hecka ton of research on it in order to overhaul its Wikipedia article (go read that junk baby, I wrote half of it lol) and thus I have a somewhat personal connection to it even though I actually purchased the game afterwards, but I honestly thought it was very enjoyable in a lot of ways. Despite minorly annoying controls and largely half-baked level design, it provides enough basic fun for me to find myself frequently turning it on and brushing through a few levels just for the heck of it. If you find it for cheap, by all means, go for it- this is definitely a hidden gem!

    Game doesn’t work… I have tried everythi...

    Game doesn’t work… I have tried everything. I cleaned it really well with windex and nothing. Disc was extremely scratched too. I had to go get the disc professionally cleaned/fixed, and it still doesn’t work…

  • Croc PS1

    I bought croc for PS1. Its case looks brand new (replaces) and the book and disc are both in great condition, so far the game works amazing - like new. The only issue I had was small and delayed shipping a few days. But still came quickly. All in all was a good experience.

  • Croc Is One Cool Gator

    item arrived safely with package nicely wrapped. I grew up playing croc, it’s one of my favorite childhood games playing on the PS1. I had a copy years ago but the disc was really scratched up and I lost it, it was time to get a new copy of the game! croc is such an underrated gem and I highly recommend it, it’s very silly and charming! I can’t wait to play it, thank you very much :)

  • Hidden gem classic

    I used to play this game when I was young and it held up over the years it's a hidden gem. Simple controls, classic game feel/look, fun game in general.

  • Charming and simple, a great PSx classic!

    Very cute little game, once you get used to the older control scheme that didn't make use of two thumbsticks. My wife and I enjoy this one together (she likes platforming games). I would guess that if you'd played it as a kid (I didn't) it would also have a strong nostalgia factor. It's a very charming game.

  • I love this game

    It’s a fun game and a great hidden gem of a classic. I am very grateful to do business with you cause you brought a childhood favorite of mine back in my life. It’s a great 3D Platformer and one of the best on the PS1.

  • I like it!

    It's a pretty good game. Reminds me of Crash Bandicoot and Super Mario 64. And it was relatively cheap.
