PlayStation Croc has much more happening on its title screens. For this first one, the Saturn just has a camera rotating around a platform, while on the PS1 there are objects. The PC adds some further polish.

On the PlayStation, Croc walks across an empty black room while a level loads. This is absent on the Saturn, with the user just getting a black screen for a few seconds instead.

As well as rendering in a higher resolution, the PlayStation's camera seems to have a wider field of view than the Saturn, which is positioned closer to Croc's head when standing still. On entering a stage, the PlayStation shows the current stats too.
