7th Gobbo glitch
While going through the ice island level "Riot BRRRR" I got a gobbo at a certain spot,then when I returned to it,there was another there and all in all I have a saved SEVEN Gobos in that level-but every level has only 6 and it gave me acess to the puzzle level long before I got that.Someone else have this?

You can do this in the first level "And so the Adventure Begins" too. It messes up the puzzle level though. (GT4GTR (talk) 13:00, 30 September 2008 (UTC))

Assumptions
"It is assumed the project was never established due to the age of the magazine and Argonaut Software's closure in 2004, or postponed as a future opportunity for Fox Interactive to rework Croc to be competitive in today’s market dominated by titles like “Jak and Daxter”, “Ratchet and Clank” and “Spyro The Dragon”."

This needs to be rewritten. You cannot make any assumptions unless many reliable sources agree on that assumption. Please rewrite, remove, or cite. Neshcom 03:52, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Comments prior to GA
I won't be doing a full review of this article, but there are some major things that need to be fixed for it to reach GA: Additionally, you have some very short sections, which leads to a "choppy" reading experience. I would suggest merging Concept, Design, and Audio into a single Development section, merging Promotion into the main Release section, and sales into the first Reception paragraph (probably so it comes before the review information in that paragraph, so that the text doesn't go reviews->sales->reviews). Also, don't write non-English release dates in the infobox unless the game is from another region (so Japanese release dates for Japanese games only - Croc would just have European, North American, and Australian/New Zealand dates).--IDVtalk 21:02, 23 June 2017 (UTC)
 * The gameplay, release, and sequels sections, and part of the audio section, are completely unsourced. For the former, use reviews and previews, and if needed the game's manual. For the rest, find articles on websites and in magazines.
 * As far as I understand (I've never played Croc), this is not primarily a plot-driven game, so you should probably trim down the plot summary a bit. You should also rewrite some things to be more encyclopedic and less a replacement for playing the game - so "One day, a malicious band of villains known as the Dantinis invade the peaceful Gobbo Valley. Lead by the iron-fisted Baron Dante, who despises the Gobbos for their blissful happiness, the Dantinis begin capturing the Gobbos and putting them into cages." can be changed to "One day, Baron Dante and his band, the Dantinis, invade Gobbo Valley and capture the Gobbos, putting them in cages."
 * Alright, thanks very much for the feedback. I will make sure to work more on the article when I get the opportunity and take your suggestions into account when I do so. TheDisneyGamer (talk) 21:59, 23 June 2017 (UTC)
