  • Recently I replayed and reviewed Crash of the Titans and Crash Tag Team Racing, today it's time for Wrath of Cortex! Do I think it's a good game? Watch and find out... Loving this series so far, looking forward to doing the other Crash games. :)

      @ryan jones They don't gotta. Most people have an active enough imagination that they were able to just assume thats what happened between the true end of _Warped_ and the beginning of _The Wrath of Cortex_ and carried on just fine. Not everyone needs everything spelled out for them and physically shown in great detail for them to be able to understand/realize things like that in situations like these. Most folks are creative and imaginative enough to be capable of connecting the dots, my dude. Expand your horizons a bit. Just because something isn't EXPLICITLY SHOWN in a game/game franchise/any franchise, doesn't mean that it never happened.

    "A good boss battle isn't a good boss battle without a bit of frustration" I'd personally say it depends on what exactly causes that frustration of the boss fight. In this case, the boss fight is hard because of how bad jumping feels, not enough height and air time can be taken when doing jumps in this game and it can get easily annoying when in situations like this where platforming takes a huge importance in the game.

I remember putting in the cheat code wombat to unlock all levels because we were too bad to beat them and playing for hours on end with my sister.

    i am not really sure that every game was like this but in my experience the game wasnt on dvd. It was on cd (ps2 blue disc). This means that there was less space for the developers to work with. A couple other blue disc games that i got had similar or worse quality in graphics. This explains also the slow load times, and the much faster (and louder) disc spin of the system.
    The only bad thing i can say about this game is the second boss. As a kid, it was punishingly hard for me, at some point i got so pissed i gave up and stopped playing the game. After quite some time (5 years at least) i got around to it again and actually beat the damn boss. I really enjoyed the rest of the game and it never again felt unfair or harder than it should be. Its cute, its fun and there is a lot to do.
    in my opinion: crash 3 > wrath of cortex > crash 2

    I think it's games like this that really deserve a remake. The creators didn't get to refine everything and make it the way they truly envisioned. This and spyro enter the dragon fly both deserve remakes because the franchise doesn't deserve to be treated poorly ya know? That being said, I think this game is a 5/10. And for a series that at the time had regularly delivered 8.5/10 or higher, it got more hate than it deserved. I don't like it as much as crash tag team racing but I don't dislike it as much as crash of the titans. It's fine. Nothing more nothing less in my opinion.

    15:02 You can tell where the spot to dodge is going to be if you look at Crunch the moment he releases this attack and exposes himself from some particles comming out of him.
    Great review btw, you gave a lot of insight, most i never knew about and i only disagreed on one part. Woc i believe is better than warped simply because it had variety in themes, excellent soundtrack, good controling vechiles, (Only the sub is the worst in the franchise, the mech i learnt how or what to shoot so i liked and i'd still would love to see how much the geniouses over at oxford studios would've perfected the sub, just like how they perfected almost all of Twinsanity, even their ideas were more Crash than the entire Naughty Dog trilogy) not being stuck in a vechile for most levels, longer sometimes more open and context behind levels. Example: H2O is Crash using the sub to reach an underwater base, then ditches it and goes on foot in search of a crystal. That's so fucking cool.
    Anyway, MY POINT! This new "more open, playable Coco and Cortex, context behind levels" game reminds me of wrath of cortex with unfortunately a teeny tiny bit of Twinsanity. Unfortunately because the game like wrath of cortex will not be as perfect or at least EXPAND on what the series evolution aka crash twinsanity accomplished, instead we're going back AGAIN to the outdated ND style. Bruh. At this point this "new" game is not as necessary as a twinsanity re-imagine is but whatever. Way.....WAY too fucking early to judge, these are just first impressions.

If it were very different, people would be disappointed. It's like with the movies: Back to the future 1,2 and 3, Spiderman 1, 2 and 3. There is not much difference, right??
