Crash 3: ODST, there's your review...

User Rating: 7 | Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex (Platinum) PS2
I loved Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped, it was one of my favorite platformers for the playstation. So naturally, I was gonna get this. As a younger gamer, I actually really enjoyed this game. But here's the thing, when it comes to reviewing it, I can't simply call it great because it's just Crash 3 with more levels.

Literally, thats what Travelers Tales did. They took the code from Crash 3, added newer graphics, levels, and bosses. There are no other improvements. The hub world is the exact same, the music is similar, the only thing that may be different is the story and that rolling in a ball level. The rest is a palette swap.

Travelers tales is guilty on this kind of thing on many other occasions too, they are a really low budget milking company. They are widely known today for working on the LEGO series (which is a total cash cow, next to Rock Band/Guitar Hero). They're almost as bad as Acclaim was, but a lot more successful, but that is getting off topic.

My point is, this may be ok to check out now, because you're not paying 50 bucks for it. But back then, this would be a kick in the balls to many Crash fans.
