Croc 2 Is not so great

I got this game after playing Croc 1, which is actually pretty cool with great graphics ect.

Now as for Croc 2.... Well, above all it is NOT an easy game. I would not recommend it for kids. First off the dialogue is NOT in English its in gibberish with subtitles. So that is NOT good for young children who cannot read. I can hear it now? Mommy, Daddy whats this say?

Plus in Croc one you collected gems and when hit you would drop them, But have a chance to quickly grab a few back. In Croc 2 you have heart pots that you must BUY at 250 gems and you can only get 9 *its the LAW* (of the game!) And you REALLY need to have them, Because every hit you take you loose one heart, every death you loose one heart. Quickly depleting your supply of 9. You don't loose the main nine they count down like (2/9) But once you get to 0/9 the game is over. You can continue but from the beginning of the level or world. And there are next to no hearts (health restore) laying around the game to boost you up. And the health does NOT refill after each level.

Also those colored gems from Croc 1 they are back. Same as before you gotta get them in each level. But now you must transport to an area where you get ONE JUST ONE!! Chance to get a Golden Gobo Statue (needed for puzzle piece levels) So if you die which is totally easy in many of these levels you must repeat the whole level to re-get the colored gems then transport back to the bonus world and try again. Many of which require gummie savers for jumps or Clockwork Gobos. Which of COURSE cost gems and every time you repeat the level you need a new one. The clockwork Gobos are used to get colored gems and hearts but if they don't reach or you run them off the track you must use them again also (MORE GEMS). So all in all this is not a very easy game.

Also forget the great beasts of Croc 1 the enemies in Croc 2 lack imagination and they made the whole game really cartoony instead of how it was before. The gems are different too. I would say Croc 2 was rushed to get out in time for something. This is NOT a good game for kids it can be VERY VERY hard with some very annoying levels. Ever wonder why there was no Croc 3? Buy this game and you will know. Also you may hear its rare and hard to get. Don't let this fool you the reason its rare and hard to find is this game just makes you want to tear the CD into little tiny pieces.

This is so ...!

DON`T YOU DARE BUY THIS GAME! If you're looking for a real game buy Smackown 2. This game has dumb controls, 2 easy levels, and one freaky graphic display! I don`t have a clue why reviewers like this game!

We bought this for our child and were very dissapointed. First, the controls were very inacurate causing her to constantly feel like she wasn't "good" at it. We encouraged her that she is great...the game is the problem! Not a reccommendation for children's self-esteem. Then the game was boring after just a week. We finally shelfed it and won't even sell it as we feel so strongly that it is not properly marketed as a children's game. Very poor.

CROC 2 FAN WARNING

Straight up, this is a sub-standard 3-D environment game, lacking originality and fun, looking to catch the little kids with its high cute factor. If you want an action game, this isn't the place to look. This game is my worst PlayStation game EVER!

OMG I have never played a worse game in my LIFE!!!

i CAN'T UNDERSTAND AT ALL WHY 1 PERSOM WOULD ENJOY THIS GAME.

The basic dialouge in this gams is nothing. The creaters decided rather than taking some effort in finding voice actors. They have words flash on the bottom of the screen. HOW DO CHILDREN WHO HAVE DIFFICULTY READING AT A SPEED OF 4 WORDS PER SECOND PLAY THIS?? Croc's movement is extremely unforgiving to a slightly short or off balance jump. The camera is so screwed you will probably smash your playstation in two.

Overall description: WTF!?

I bought this game for my sons for christmas and I think they have about had enough of it. My oldes who is 10,is a very skilled game player and he was very upset at the camera controls of this game.He said the camera would spin around it was hard to even walk. And you also die too easy in the game.ANd when you die half way through a cave or mine you have to start a the very beginning.No saves or checkpoints to be found. The only thing he did like was the Gobbos were very cute and of course so was Croc BUt the game was not easy to play at all. If you're buying it for a younger child it probably won't get much game time. We have 3 different systems with at least 80 titles take it from us Beware!

Well very peculiar. Buy Spyro 2.

I rented this game and found it very boring. Good thing I didn't buy it.

Not So Good, But Not So Bad.

I like the race levels, but some boss levels are too hard to figure
out. It's kind of a 50-50 sort of game.

My 6 year old and I love this game

Well, it's got all the flaws the other reviewers mention.
BUT, it's been very fun for my 5 year old and I to play...it's really nonviolent, as when Croc stomps the Dantinis their eyes still blink like they don't understand what happened. It's also got a lot of little puzzles, so it's not this frenetic crazy action game. And the music is nice too.

So despite all the flaws, we really like this game a lot and have looked for a Croc 3 to show up. It's cute and charming and that's what I want with a small child.

Okay.

Te game is okay but the controls are weird for the computer. I like the commercial and I want to see it.
