THE GOOD: -Beautiful graphics -Cool music -Some good level ideas -Still pretty fun -It's rather satisfying to beat each level -Good controls
THE BAD: -Lenghty loading time -Mostly recycled levels -Gets frustrating -Too much like the other Crash games -No extra features to speak of -The camera comes in a little close
SUMMARY: Well, I was happy with this game when I first rented it, but now that I own it it's different. There is simply nothing unique about this game. It's basically a PS2 version of the previous years of Crash Bandicoot.
Graphics: 9.2 -- The visual beauty of this game is the only worthwhile quality. The character models, although a bit awkward in facial animations, are very rich and clean. The animations could use a little work, but they're otherwise really cool. And they're very detailed for their first PS2 appearance. The levels...
THE GOOD: Level designs Coco is fully playable! Music No cheats, which makes it so everbody can enjoy playing it.
THE BAD: Loading time Some controls are wacky Too much like Warped
SUMMARY: Well, this review is kind of long but who cares?: This game is right about in the middle. This is about Uka Uka being mad at Cortex for not being able to kill Crash. So, Cortex decides to release the Elementals: 4 masks that have powers over certain areas. There's Rok-Ko, the elemental mask of the earth, Wa-Wa, the elemental mask of water, Lo-Lo the elemental mask of the air, and Py-Ro, the elemental mask of fire. In addition to releasing the elementals, Cortex makes a new super-bandicoot: Crunch Bandicoot. He was made for one reason and one reson alone: DESTROY CRASH BANDICOOT! Meanwhile, on a distant island, Crash, and his little sister, Coco are water-skiing. Aku Aku thinks something is wrong so he goes to Uka Uka. Then he sees that...
THE GOOD: *Beautiful scenery *Some of the music is nice *Crunch was a great addition to the series *Coco's got her own moves!
THE BAD: *Loading time is laggy *Can get boring after a while *Some of the levels are too easy/hard/long/short *Not much different from the other Crash games
SUMMARY: I am a major Crash fan, and I'd have to say this is not too bad at all, but Traveler's Tales could have put more effort into this game. It's a colorful enviorment, and the new characters are superb (Crunch Bandicoot and the Elementals). I would reccomend this game if you are a huge Crash fan like me. If not, don't bother, because you won't like it. I bought this game over 4 years ago. I was hooked on it for a few months, and then I just stopped playing ir completely (and went to play Twinsanity, which kicks much more arse that this game).
THE GOOD: the graphics, the levels, the vehicles, good gameplay and a gripping story. ooh and a colour booklet!
THE BAD: tedious levels and dodgy controls for some of the vehicles.
SUMMARY: This crash game is really really fun and keeps you working hard. With excellent graphics and superb gameplay this game in my opinion is brilliant! True, it does have some ridculously tedious levels but on the other hand you sould be up for a challange in any case. The wrath of cortex has some brand new vehicles and transportation devices.....like a hamster ball! Also it has a fantastic story mode. you're in for a suprise i can say that! A good game to rent out first, just in case it doesnt suit your taste. but all the same,an AWSOME GAME! Im looking forward to the next installment of the crash adventure series.
THE GOOD: Graphics, fun, can play as two characters, quite hard.
THE BAD: Loading time.
SUMMARY: Well this is a good game and is probably the best in the series. The graphics are quite good so you can definately see what you're doing and it's very fun to play as some of the levels have special vehicles. Once you beat the "Boss" on each area, you unlock a super power for Crash to do. This includes things like double jump, sneak and even a bazooka! And for the first time, you can play as Coco in certain levels. As usual it's the same storyline where Cortex and Uka-Uka plans to be rid of Crash except this time, he has help. His helper invents an evil bandicoot, Crunch. Crunch also wants to be rid of Crash and wants to do it by himself. But, Cortex and Uka-Uka find special masks for each area to help out. Also, the game is actually quite hard unlike the others. Now all of this is good, but there is one problem. The loading time. It's simply TOO...
THE GOOD: there are alot of good things about this game... ive played through it over and over without getting bored.. the variety of things crash does in the levels keep the game interesting and keep you on your toes... from flying planes and wasps to rolling around in a hamster ball to using a robot that shoots peaches to using a strap-to-your-back propeller to swimming underwater and using an underwater device plus more... i love the variety with the levels in this game... the hamster ball levels are espesially fun to play... the graphics are incredible espesially with the underwater levels (i.e: the plants moving as you swim through them).. the colors are amazing and the levels are long which is also excellent... and while the object of the levels hasnt changed too much, breaking boxes are trademark crash.. thats what its always been about and i love this game.. plus the game is hard to complete totally and theres 30 levels in this game with 5 bosses to fight (5...
THE GOOD: Graphics, Coco fully compatible!!!! Some of the machines, some of the bosses.
THE BAD: Naughty dog didn't do it, quite easy, loading time, the final boss(a disappointment)
Too long some levels
SUMMARY: Since I have all the crash series on PSX I was desperate to get this 1. It was quite a disappointment. Yeah the graphics were cool but the loading time!!! Always change it to a channel when it loads, it was great how Coco was fully compatible but it didn't have really anything new. The beginning movie explained what u had to do very well but the levels wasn't what I expected. Some levels were far to long but it didn't have the same Crash Bandicoot spirit. If u're a huge Crash fan, I suggest u rent it first. But I would only buy it to be amazed by the graphics.
THE BAD: ~Loading time ~WAAAAY to short ~Coco's limited abilities
SUMMARY:
Ok so we all know that Crash and COrtex are rivals enemies yada yada yada....the Crash games seems to be getting boring due to predictability. But this game has some good points to it too. All news features and stuff. Things like Coco having the ability to fight, Coco riding her scooter in some levels, Crash-in-a-ball levels and many more.
But I won't spoil 'em for you. SO play Crash and find out! But be warned....this game takes a loooooooooong time to load so get a sandwhich and get comfortable cuz you may be there a while. The bosses are kinda hard but don't worry; you can beat them. (did I jus use a semi-colon? who uses those anyway?)
THE GOOD: -The Graphics (okay) -The Music -The Controls -Cool New Moves and some of Crash's old ones -Cool Variety of Levels and Mini-Games -Replay Value
THE BAD: -LOADING -Kind of short -Did I mention the LOADING?
SUMMARY: This game is the greatest Bandicoot game since Crash Bash. Its got bettter graphics, cool new techno music, and great new controls. They're the same as of all the previous Crash games so I could just pick up the controller and play. In addition to old moves, there are sweet new ones as well, like the death tornado. There are many variety of levels and cool mini-games like piloting a plane, controlling Coco on her scooter, and riding a railroad car. This game is hard to totally complete to 100%, from all the time trials, gems, and hidden areas. It'll have you playing for hours.
If there's one thing that drives me crazy about this game it is the LOADING! I truly expected more of a PS2 Crash game....
