Bottom line is the Playstation version has worse, but brighter and more colorful graphics with significantly better audio, while the PC version removes some things (like the number stamp on Croc's kart and Croc's mother's eyelashes), changes some things (like sailor village), and has slightly worse audio in exchange for better graphics and configuration.
