Crash Bandicoot 2: Il ritorno di Cortex

Crash Bandicoot 2 is one of those games that has one playing for hours. The bosses are fun, and Crash gets to ride bears on some levels. The only annoyances are the levels are the same and some parts are extremely hard to beat. Overall this game is very good.

I played this game during my trip to Texas. My cousin brought his Play Station to our hotel (We're almost 11! Except he's 1 month older). We played this a lot!!!! I stunk at this game for a while. Then I got the hang of it.

I've play the Crash Bandicoot games. They're fun.But CB2 is more fun!!!!

If you like video games with fun boss levels, wierd looking characters and 3D stuff, you'll LOVE this!

I know some people will say the original is beast and warped is the best but I believe the 2nd installment in the Crash series beats all. Even the if the new crash games are average, they still don't have the hype and enjoyment like this one.

Gameplay: 10/10 - The gameplay is by far excellent and there is nothing wrong with the controls. Everything is very stable and you can move crash or an animal around freely.

Landscape and Graphics: 9.5/10 - All the environments and textures and colours truly bring this game to life and when you instantly pop this into your play station, you will already have the feeling that you will love this game and that you will want to stay on it.

Music Score: 10/10 - The music in this game is very true to the gameplay, the Crash character and even to the game itself. Even other crash music came along in the other games, but this track will never be beaten. Being honest, playing and owning every crash game, i find that you will get the best music in this one! Overall and concluding, Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back! is a very powerful and very playable game which will have you scoring to grab the crystals, restore the gems and kick Cortex's ass. Nuff said people.... 10/10!

CRASH BANDICOOT 2: Cortex Strikes Back! (1997) is one of the greatest Crash sequels, brought to players by Naughty Dog (Crash, Jak and Daxter, Last of Us). Crash 2 is the game that I played for hundreds of hours as a child, and it still holds a very strong and special place in my heart. The nostalgic force is strong with this one.

"Crash Bandicoot is on an adventure to collect crystals and help Dr. Neo Cortex save the world, or so it seems."

The game is a puzzle platformer, and has excellent level designs, characters, boss fights, and story. The level become progressively more challenging as the game goes on. The music and sounds effects are iconic and so well done. This game has such a great, unforgettable OST.

Crash Bandicoot 2 is by far one of the greatest games of all time, in my humble opinion, and my personal favorite in the series.

Let me start off by saying, that I am a HUGE fan of Naughty Dog's Crash Bandicoot games. 1, 2, warped, CTR, and CB are all pretty sweet games. But overall, Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back is my favorite of them all. Let me tell you why.

1) The Levels: Overall, this game has twenty-five levels of non stop fun. Though elements from the first game were used, there were new level types such as taking a jetpack and travelling through a space ship, and old elements were reinvented as well. For example, you run from a boulder in the first one. In the second one, you run from a huge polar bear. Pretty sweet and fun levels.

2) The challenges: Now believe me when I say that this game is freakin hard at times. At least, if you wish to get a 100% finish. Multiple traps, tricks, secret passage ways, if you want it all, be prepared to look around quite a bit. Well, not a bit. A lot!!! For example, you know those nitro boxes that you can't touch? Well in a level, there is a pile of them, set up to look like stairs. You can actually hop on those ones and not blow up. Get to the top of the pile and you end up in a secret warp room. I'm sure you wouldn't think about diving in a hole and uncovering a bonus room. Yup, very challenging.

3) The Characters: We are introduced to some of the Major characters in the series. Coco Bandicoot, Crash's lil sis, N. Gin, and Tiny Tiger. We also get to see Ripper Roo again. One of the particular bosses didn't last. The komodo bros. I think they were in CTR, but that's it.

Overall (Yeah, I use that word a lot) This game is freaking awesome! 10 out of 10, baby! Favorite and best Crash Bandicoot game ever!!!
