Absent from the list was EA's recently secret Croc. To the untrained eye, early screenshots reveal a game not dissimilar to Crash. Gaudy outdoor graphics, a quirky cartoon animal as the hero, and plenty of platform-a-leap-o. But the untrained eye is a stupid eye. ——————————————————————————————————1/2—— Fun; games 150 Fun; big 140 MUSIC FOR LOVERS p480 Hot Topic Tips Club 140 TVP173 Teletext 173 Jun21 01:24:13 PREVIEW CROC PlayStation——————————————— Croc is being described as a halfway house between the restrictive linearity of Crash Bandicoot, and the full, 360- degree freedom of Mario 64. Though still fairly linear, Croc's levels allow for plenty of exploration, and contain dozens of secrets. Gamjplay-wise its the usual platform stuff: Croc can knock opponents away with his tail, hj can jump on them, hj has to collect gems, defeat bosses and the like... You've seen it all before, haven't you? A Christmas release. ——————————————————————————————————2/2—— Mr Worms 196 Dr Green 160 Join the Official Star Wars Club p614 Hot Topic Tips Club 140 TV
