"Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back" was a large step up from the first part. This game's graphics, music, gameplay, and even story were much better than in the first. But it's kind of weird how Crash Bandicoot doesn't end up staying with Tawna Bandicoot and instead ends up living with his little sister, Coco Bandicoot. Well, at least Coco has the ability to speak, unlike her big brother.The voice acting changed dramatically as well, and for the better(Dr. Neo Cortex's new voice was much cooler and evil-sounding). If you liked the first Crash game, get this one. Although it's more difficult(especially in gathering Crystals and Gems), it's really fun!

Crash still has it !A 12-YEAR OLD GAMER

This is one of the best games I've ever Played. The only thing I don't like is how hard to get the colored gems are. I'll tell you where 4 of them are; for the blue, complete level 1 without breaking any boxes; for yellow, complete level 11 in the amount of time it gives you after you get the first checkpoint( between 50&70sec.);for purple, go to level 19. Go till you see the stairs with nitros on them. The nitros are fake, so jump to the top and you'll go to a secret part where the gem is. In level 10 go to where all the nitros are(andthe life is there). Go through the fake wall in the back to get to a secret area. complete the area and you get the green gem...

A Great Game!

The first time I played this game I was hooked!. You start out in the warp room and progress through each of the levels in the warp room. Also the warp rooms are themed such as space,jungle,railroad, and more. Plus there are bosses,most of them from the first game. The only thing I didnt like was that the end where you have to fight Cortex, that was the easiest battle I ever did, all the other bosses were harder then that. over all I say Crash Bandicoot 2:The Wrath Of Cortex is a must buy for new to old gamers!

crash bandicoot is back.

2nd to this is Crash 1. The graphics are still great(I got this in 1999)and so are the levels. The saving is alot better. I think that you can't compare this to Crash 3 and 4(on PS2) because it's so much more memorable.

BUY IT

Best Crash game ever!

This is the only Crash game I got 100% on. That is because I love it so much! I know it's the best--I've tried every Crash made yet,ps1 & ps2 (Crash 1,Crash 2,Crash 3,Crash Wrath of Cortex,CTR,Crash Bash & I'm soon trying Crash Nitro Kart.)It has cool levels & only has a couple I don't care for. If you want a good game,get it! The only bad thing is the 4th boss, N. Gin,is REALLY hard; he's harder than all the other bosses.In fact I had a friend help me beat him. It is still a great game. Have fun!

UPDATE: Actually, N. Gin isn't that hard, you just have to memorize his pattern. Now, I could beat him in my sleep!

The Best Crash Game Ever!

The first Crash game was bad, but this one is the best out of the entire series. This game has a save system, and introduces main characters such as Coco, N.Gin, and Tiny. Buy this game! If you want an awesome video game, get this!

Very good!

This game is an improvemnet on the original, but Tawna should still be there, there should be a 2-player mode, and there should be a way to re-fight bosses, like a door that opens up when you get 5 crystals. But the game's levels are better, the bosses are better, there's a secret world, and there's a much better save sytem with out any passwords at all, which is what I'm talkin' about when it comes to games! The crystal improvement is good too. I like this game better then the original, except for the problems above.

The best of the Crash games

I originally got this game as a christmas present to go with my new Playstation back in 1997. I must say that this is by far one of the best games out there for the PSX, PS1, PS2 and it will be one of the best on the PS3. This game is timeless. Without a doubt one of if not my favorite game. I wish Naughty Dog hadn't sold the franchise :( Vendi ruined the series and the story line of a dead Cortex. They should have kept the series a PS exclusive oh well. The graphics are still fairly good even being compared to some PS2 titles and the load times are nonexistent unlike The Wrath of Cortex. The storyline is also great one of the true last "level" games where you get parts of what you need each time you play a certain level. much like early super mario games. Now Action Adventure games are like 1 giant level with multiple obsticals in it and theres no returning to old levels and getting past them again. Its also one of the last trail games where you stick to the main trail and face the obsticals head on until the end of the level. Now everything is an open area and you will always get lost in some little corner and will eventually get bored and give up. We need another Crash Bandicoot 2.

Crash 2 "Crashes" the Competition!

Crash Bandicoot 2 is a great game. This was one of the first games I ever got for my Playstation, and it still is one of the greatest games I've ever played. I feel that Crash Bandicoot has become the "Mario" of Playstation, having trumped all of the other competition in the adventure category.

The game is relatively simple. Just go through the levels gathering crystals. You gain a purple crystal for beating the level, and a diamond crystal for gathering all of the boxes. Eventually, after the 5th "Warp Room" (A room filled with levels), you will use the crystals to defeat Neo Cortex, the game's villain. But wait! there's more! After each warp room, you must defeat a boss, including a huge Crash-like beast called "Tiny", and a crazed scientist guy named "N-gine", I believe.

The only flaw I would have with the game is the basic lay-out of the levels. You can really only go forward. And especially with the bonus levels, the game has a feeling of being very "2-D", which I hate saying because it has stellar graphics. All in all, Crash Bandicoot 2 is a classic game. And despite a few drawbacks for me personally, it remains one of my all-time favorite games. I would recommend it to anyone who's looking for a great game.
