Game Overview

Everyone's marsupial has made the jump to 12-bits with CRASH BANDICOOT: The Wrath of Cortex. As you know, Crash and Dr. Neo Cortex have been archenemies for a long time, but Cortex has yet to get the better of Crash. This time around, Cortex is convinced that he's got the master plan. With the help of Uka Uka, Cortex has decided to use the four elements, earth, wind, fire, and water, as weapons against Crash and Cocoa. In more than 30 levels, you'll have to guide Crash (and sometimes Cocoa) through all kinds of natural disasters, including earthquakes, tornadoes, and volcanic eruptions, in order to foil Cortex once again. The levels are made up of both side-scrolling and front-scrolling action, which helps to keep things exciting and interesting. In addition, Crash and Cocoa will have the opportunity to take control of a jeep, a hulking mech, a glider, and a helicopter. Prepare yourself for Crash's most exciting, and most dangerous, adventure yet with CRASH BANDICOOT: The Wrath of Cortex.

The Bottom Line

It's up to Crash Bandicoot and his sister Coco to defeat Cortex and his monstrous creation before they take over the world!

Everyone's favorite marsupial makes his GameCube debut in his biggest adventure yet. This time Neo-Cortex has had enough. Having been defeated one too many times, Cortex has developed a Super Secret weapon to finally rid himself of his arch-nemesis, Crash Bandicoot. Cortex has been busy building Crunch, a genetically engineered super-creature designed for one thing only, to defeat Crash Bandicoot once and for all!

There is just one thing missing? a power source for the new diabolical creation. Uka Uka, Cortex's master, calls upon the powers of the slumbering "Elementals." These four ancient masks harness the powers of earth, fire, water and air. If Cortex's super weapon wears these masks, he will then hold the power of the elements! However, to power this weapon, Cortex has set up bases around the planet, sucking the earth dry of its valuable elemental resources.

Maintains the status quo and fails to deliver a fresh, compelling experience.

Any Crash Bandicoot fan would be a fool not to go out and buy this game. I started playing at 2am one night and did not stop until three in the afternoon!

A decent playing and pretty looking Crash Bandicoot game. It's nothing terribly special, but it's not bad, not bad at all.
