Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex

You can complete specific levels of the game to play as Crash's fiery sister. Coco will have a wide variety of moves and animations tailored to fit her personality. New free-roam sections will be implemented within certain levels of the game. These sections feature puzzles and hidden areas never before seen in a Crash game. New bosses and minibosses offer up a Noah's Ark-sized list of new creatures. The game also has an all-new graphics engine that brings vivid life to environments and characters like never before.

Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex truly is just like every other Crash game. It's worlds are colorful, it's enemys are classic, and the variety of each new game increases with new abilitys and vehicles. I felt like I was 9 again, (I'm 13,) when I played this game, feeling like everything was just phonomenal!

The only set-back for this classic sequel is the loading screens. Sure, they're cute and make you chuckle the first couple of times, but it just gets aggrivating to watch this screen for a minute and a half every tome you enter and leave a level.

But dispite this annoying "addition," the same creative and adventourous spark that captivated PS1 gamers in the 90's, including myself, still remains on this Crash Title.

If Crash Bandicoot is what you like, get this game!
The same bandicoot.
The same villians.
A whole new classic!

The Bandicoot is still the best!

As all, these seem to carry on from the last! I thought the psone version was excellent and still i could just keep on completing it now and again and get it done within an hour. Now i have a ps2, i normally get the ps2 version that come out. Crash bandicoot on psone is the only game now i can buy on psone becuse it's so much fun and the graphics are amazin. I recently bought twinsanity, that is brill and if you are looking for an adventure type, thats definitely your game. That isn't through doors like the others, its on an island in the open so its changed on the last one. After enjoying each and every one of the crash bandicoot games, there was defintely a reason for buying this because i am a huge fan of these games. I heard so many good reviews aswell on this game so i got so dying to buy it. Still through doors, not in the open but brill graphics, and great levels. Although the games have not improved as they go along, all are worth buying as you get hours of fun out of these.

This is a great addition to the other Crash Bandicoot Playstation games! My daughter (age 9) loves the game and so do I. We just bought a PS2 and this was the first game we purchased. It has great graphics, levels are great, it's an all around good game! Just shop around on the prices. We say it at a national store for one price and then at another national store for less money so it's best to shop around before spending a ton of money on this or any other PS2 game! Amazon has a great price for this game!! Much less than the first national store!! So if you want to wait for shipping your best bet is Amazon.com, but since my daughter wanted it right there and then, we just purchased it. Definately shop around!

If you find a great deal on the game, I would highly recommend you purchase it and enjoy the fun!

I almost didn't buy the game for all the complaints about load times. Since I've enjoyed all the other Crash Bandicoots I took a risk and bought this one.

The load times are not bad at all. The longest one was about fifty (50)seconds. Not bad for the excellent graphics and sound you get in exchange. Overall, the game met my expectations and even exceeded them at times. The bosses were more difficult! That's a plus in my opinion. Even Cortex was more difficult!

I recommend this to anyone especially to Bandicoot fans.
