This is where the Crash series took a turn for the worst.

User Rating: 7.8 | Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex (Platinum) PS2
Know this, Crash games of today are getting bland and short. This where it first started, with this good but a total lackluster game. CB:WOC has the same good Crash action we know with improved graphics and music but that doesn't help but make you ask: What's up with the loading times!? This was the main reason Crash's first PS2 game wasn't good. They were incredibly slow and took at least a minute possibly more to load up. The good thing is that finally Coco can be played in Crash's platform levels in China or in the Snowy Alps. Still this game will provide some fun. If you're the patient kind of person and can handle slow load times with ease then pick this game up. It'll be good for you. As for the rest of you pick up the Xbox version. It has faster load times after all.....
