Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex (Sony PlayStation 2, 2001)

Crash bandicoot the wrath of cortex is in no way a copy of warped as the previous 3 crash games it improves each time from the original with nice graphics for its time kinda repetative levels still fun REALLY hard though crash 2 major improvement the warp room is convenient graphics improved a bit too levels got a little easier and less repetetive more bosses old and new good deal of improvment from the first crash 3 awesome this game has the most graphic improvement from the last 2 levels and story line are deeper and even less repetative levels overall the best of the 3 playstation releases not including ctr and bash they are a different style of games
But this games THIS game same format as the first 3 yes But this game PERFECTS!!! the bandicoot seires Graphics SUBSTANTIALY Improved! BEFORE ITS TIME this games graphics are so realistic the lighting the shades and minimum fuzziness like the resolution and or clarity of the game is amazing! but besides that the colors are so realistic ok ok moving back into the rest of it the levels are MINIMAL repeats and for those of you who say its a clone of warped WRONG! there are new levels and enviroments such as ice level types brought back from crash 2 rolling ball level NEW! undersea levels brought back BUT improved and changed water looks so real!! and this game is 2001 original release dont listen to amazon i won this game 2001 black labe release anyway the water level has a sub instead of special scuba suit new traps in these water levels two new island volcano level awesome those are just a few allthough its the same base boss every time he transforms each time not going to spoil it anyway this game is ahead of its time i say the graphics compare to a ps3 games allthough all of you would dissagree you HAVE to get this game wheather your a new crash player or a comeback this game is a must have you will love it. In any case heres an overveiw of all the improvments it had since the first and original crashbandicoot!

1 Graphics that show what the ps2 is capable of! very clear resolution and not at all blocky

2 All new levels including the rolling hampster ball levels the stink fly level and cocos rocket level!!!!

3 For the first time in this original platformer style style of crash bandicoot games (because you can play as coco in crash bash for ps1 but thats more a ) Play as coco in a variety of levels!!!!!


4 The same charachters are all brought back including NGin tiny tiger of course cortex crash aku aku and uka uka! all new elemental mask charachters and the evil super bandicoot crunch !

5 a stinkfly a jeep and a robot suit that blasts whompa fruit and cool off spray! the whompa bazooka is back from crash 3 too!

6 boss levels are the most exiting i have ever seen

7 underwater levels were greatly improved I hated crash 3 water levels but with the awesome graphics and a sub who can complain!!

Overall crash 4 Aka wrath of cortex is in no way a clone of crash 3 even though it was made by another company then naughty dog it is creative and has amazing gamplay quality that crash games are known for (unlike every crash game after that ditch the crash style platform game like twinsanity or mind over mutant those fools dont even know how to draw crash!!!)

This is by far my favorite Crash Bandicoot Games of all. I own every one and apart from the normal traditional going through levels and breaking boxes this game contains alot more. It has MANY abstract levels where you drive a boat, fly a plane, run from rolling stone balls, run from dinosaurs chasing you, play as a marble on a board and drive your marble to hit boxes and to the goal line, ride a motorcycle etc...

The game has alot of replay value and ALOT more things to do after you finish all the levels. There are about 50 levels that you need to beat several times each to get all the gems and crystals and to unlock the final boss.

If you are looking for a game for the kids to play that they wont get sick of fast this is the best game for it. I have played all the Crash Bandicoot's and beat them all and so far this one has the most diversity and lots of fun levels.

A+++

the game is brand new and wont play on the playstation2 console. Something is wrong with the disk. Playstation 2 plays all other games but not this one. Brand new and in original packaging dont mean anything anymore..believe the disk has never been played or checked to see if it would play for that matter..

This game is an upgrade from the PS 1 games due to mostly the PS 2 graphics and quality. The mechanics of this game are the same as C.B. 1,2,3....so basically its like playing the PS1 titles style only the graphics and sound are much better! In Wrath of Cortex there are more "non-running around" levels. This means that there are more levels in which you drive, swim, ride a mini sub, scooter, fly, and even roll around in a giant "mouse ball"! And theres a new power! Can you guess what it is?......drum roll please............walk on tippy toes.......you can really kick some butt with that, actually its used to walk on nitro boxed without causing any boom. All in all its a great game that you should enjoy if you already enjoy the PS1 Bandicoot games.

Any of the crash bandicoots are fun games to play especially with your children. i have had hours and hours of fun with my children play all of the games, but this one has to be one of my favorites simply because there are certain levels that you must play while you are incaged in what i call a hampster ball it is funny. you must roll on narrow platforms to get to the end while trying to navigate in between nitro boxes and tnt boxes that will blow up when you touch them. this is a great game for kids and adults any age and i would reccomend it over and over again
