Crash Bandicoot 2 is an improvement over the original,this time it feels like an original game,it doesn't feel anymore like a rip-off.The Gameplay is a little bit more relaxing, just a bit.The Game is Hard unlike the first one which was very Hard.Now Crash has an accurate landing,you can control him better.The Graphics are full of colour,it creates an atmosphere full of joy.The Level design is richer & now Crash can use Gadgets like a Jetpack or ride a bear(i think rided a bear in the 1st game too,i don't remember).Now he can also slide to get under electric fences & other stuff & perform a "sky dive" over the land.The game is full of tricks & small puzzles,still frustrating as hell.Why do they make them so hard?There are 25 levels,perfect lenght i would say.He gets again apples-100 of them & 1up,like in Mario with his Coins & Sonic with his Rings.
Dr.Neo Cortex convinces Crash to collect for Him some cristals,i don't know why but it's obvious that at the end he will turn again Crash after the plan is complete.The Final battle if surprinsingly very easy, i tought that it was going to be a nightmare like in the First game...whoa!What a relief!:)
The briefing room is circular & there are 5 floors,each with 5 levels.After you have taken the cristal from each level you can finally leave the floor.After each floor you get a boss fight,some are hard,some come in handy.The most impressive levels i think are the Ice levels,which create an awesome atmosphere & where you get to ride the polar bear.There are also some levels in the game where you ride a motor boat on the river,those are cool too...lol,the whole game is cool.A sequel much better then the original.The music rocks,i have no complaints.I can't give it 9 because...it's still hard,i mean frustrating & the levels are not completely mind blowing.This is a great platformer that will reach the apex in part 3.
