Gin. Needing someone to help find the remaining crystals to complete a super weapon (mad scientists aren’t made for that kind of work), Cortex manipulates a gullible Crash Bandicoot into believing he’s seen the error of his ways, and convinces Crash to gather the crystals as a means to save the planet. Brio – tired of Cortex’s abuse – turning a new leaf, Cortex’s only ally is the cyborg-like Dr. With his armies defeated and his former assistant Dr. Neo Cortex stumbled across a magic crystal, and learned it held immense power. The plot is appropriately simple, but surprisingly thought out for a platformer that relishes in cartoonish silliness: After his defeat in the first game, the evil Dr.
The graphics are more polished and colorful, the music is a lot more memorable and catchy, and the level design is more creative, with an added dose of story to compliment it. Other then the new moves, a lot of the game is more of a refinement than a reinvention of the series. And Crash also gets his own equivalent of Mario’s stomp attack, but in keeping with the Bandicoot’s sense of humor, Crash falls flat on his face, in contrast to Mario’s fancier acrobatics. Jumping while crouching or sliding gives Crash a higher and longer jump, respectively. But Crash has some new moves this time around.
The core gameplay remains the same: Crash still jumps and spins his way through levels, which are presented in 2.5D. Crash Bandicoot 2 now feels closer to the proper realization of what Naughty Dog was trying to achieve when they created the Playstation’s original mascot.Ĭrash Bandicoot 2 takes the assets of the first game, and polishes them while also giving the formula more depth. The original Crash Bandicoot has its place in history, but many of its aspects now feel archaic.
Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back was not only better than its predecessor back in its day, but the years have only magnified what an improvement it really was.
