So, maybe this game is not as good as it should be but it's still awesome.

User Rating: 9 | Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex (Platinum) PS2
This was the very first PS2 game that I owned and I just want to say that I loved it. Okay, so the game premise was too similar to Crash 3, some might even say it was a clone but the graphics are much better, the music is really some of the best I've ever heard in a video game. The controls however feel different from Crash 3, I can't quite put my finger on it. There's less racing levels which is good new to me because I HATE the races. The Time Trials are a lot harder in this game than in Crash 3.

In this game, Dr. Cortex wants to bring his creation, Crunch to life with the power of the 4 elemental masks. Crash and Coco must stop him wants again.

So, while Mega Man and Bomberman would benefit from using the same formula ad nauseum, it definitely doesn't help much in this game. If you like Crash Bandicoot as much as I do, the bad parts I mention should be no big deal however for those looking for something new should look elsewhere. And as a video game itself, this game is pretty awesome.
