Description

Complete, includes disc(s), case, cover art, manuals and inserts in used condition.Amazon.com Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex, the first PlayStation2 installment in the Crash Bandicoot series, delivers the same mix of intuitive gameplay and elaborate adventure that fans have come to expect, offering many enhancements and all-new environments and missions. Neo Cortex is back, and he means to rid himself of Crash once and for all. To energize his most diabolical creation to date, Cortex channels the power of the Elementals, a group of renegade masks with the destructive power of air, earth, water, and fire. To stop the Elementals and Cortex's new weapon, Crash or Coco (a fully playable character for the first time) will face five game hubs, 25 dynamic levels, and five unique bosses, as well as a new character that will rock the Crash world.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. Product Description One of PlayStation's biggest stars is coming to PlayStation2! Crash, everyone's favorite orange bandicoot, returns for more of his signature 3D play. Lead Crash around obstacles and pitfalls to collect treasures and defeat the evil Dr. Neo Cortex. Features lots of colorful and crazy levels, including driving challenges with wild vehicles. Made in USA. Review Crash Bandicoot is a bargain-basement Taz, a capering, rolling-eyed, dingolike creature. In the few years prior to this game (his PS2 debut), Crash appeared in various PS One titles--usually wannabe Mario platformers, but also the blatant Mario Party and Mario Kart rip-offs Crash Bash and Crash Team Racing. Never less than fun, yet never a realistic contender when compared to the genre-defining Mario 64, Crash has sometimes received a fairly rough ride from the press. With original developers Naughty Dog passing on the chance to produce a PS2 version, Travelers Tales has created this effort, and in terms of gameplay, there's no progression here whatsoever. This is the Crash we know and tolerate, albeit with fancier lighting effects. All the familiar faces return, including (obviously, given the title) arch-goon Dr. Cortex. And it's great, as far as it goes. Ignore the on-rails nature of the gameplay and the dismally slow loading times; it's unlikely you'll come across a jauntier, more ridiculous, stupid-brilliant game for some time. As well as the usual platform action, there are mine-cart chases à la Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, hysterically playable Marble Madness-style levels, and secrets, bonuses, vehicles, and new moves. When you add up all the pluses (simple to pick up and play, colorful, loud, and funny), it would be a hard heart that didn't warm to this old coot. --Steve Colton -- Amazon.co.uk
