Then at the end we could have had the two N. Tropy’s meeting each other or something. I really hope that Tropy takes the centre stage as the final boss in a future game. He is much more threatening than Cortex.

Difficulty aside, one of the best parts of this game is unlocking those awesome skins for both Crash and Coco. By the time you reach the ice section, the gems you need for the levels skin increases past 6, meaning you must conquer the inverted levels as well. Of course, the last 6 levels may seem impossible to get even 10 of the 12 gems (with 2 levels in Cortex Castle requiring ALL 12...) But, that effort is like a wearable trophy the devs give you for conquering the level. They want to give you a fair reward for all of your hard work, and at one point I might just challenge myself to complete the set...

"Fuck it..." So I bit the bullet and watched. I'm sure that the experience of playing it will still be as rewarding even if I get spoilers. Anyway this was a great review but I wasn't expecting anything less from one of the top earlier contributors to the Crash Bandicoot series. Honestly I'm pretty mixed so far. I agree 110% that the Art Direction of this game is phenomenal. Cartoony, vivid colors, and full of expression, it's just.. I can't really think of the right word to use to describe how much i love the art style and direction in this game. The best thing about it is that it does feel like an honest to God true progression of the original art style from the original Naughty Dog Trilogy. I especially love Crash's new design. It's built upon the original model but modernized in a tasteful way that still manages to look adorable + cool and not jarring at all, just AMAZING. The only design I'm a little "eh" with was Tawna's, not really digging the hair and I would've preferred 1, they gave her a more Lara Croft -esq type of look as a neat throwback to the 90s and 2, they just made this the REAL Tawna, not an alternate dimension version. I mean hey, what's so bad about Tawna spending all her time away training and going on adventures? That would've been so cool in my opinion. Now the thing that I'm pretty mixed with is the difficulty. I'm just gonna be honest, I was never one of those Crash players who was truly invested in the time trials and speedrunning and all that jazz, I was just someone who was more of a casual Crash player who liked when the difficulty was more in the middle as well as taking in the world design, music, and what little story there was. So really, I'm very shaky with the difficulty spikes throughout this game and I know, I know. "Get Gud" and all that. I'm not gonna sit here and say that the game is shit because it can be brutal at a lot of points. However for someone who is more of a casual fan of the games and is content with a game so long as it's not piss easy, I'm not gonna pretend like I love super hard games because that isn't true at all. In short, I'm not really digging the difficulty spikes and the sad thing is I could forgive them if the later levels weren't so long but unfortunately they are and it sucks saying that because again, I love the art of this game. I can't really comment on the story since I'm not that far in yet but I will say that I do appreciate that they really went the extra mile to make the story more engaging than it ever was in the original trilogy. Anyway despite the unforgiving difficulty, I can tell this game was a labor of love to the classic fans and I knew that the hardcore fans were especially gonna love the difficulty of the game and for that, I don't fault Toys for Bob doing that. But for me, the game is artistic masterpiece, a true Picasso of modern day, next-gen Cartoon style for video games that I think present the absolute extent of where we can go with this art style in video games and I LOVE it. The gameplay functions and works near perfect, feels natural to control Crash and the other characters. All this said, I'm looking forward to Toys for Bob making another Crash game. I think that for once, Crash Bandicoot is in good, capable hands who know and understand what Crash is about which is a blessing after Crash's dark age. Amazing review Jak, never disappoint!

I was worried you would over criticise crash 4 like so many out there but you where fair and pointed out the genuine flaws without taking away how incredible the game ultimately is, I was really happy with N tropy being the main antagonist of crash 4 as even since crash 3, he unlike Tiny, N gin and Dingodile wasn't a henchman to Cortex but rather worked for Uka Uka in the same vein as Cortex. I still consider him the main antagonists of crash 4 and since I wasn't expecting much from the story early on, the story worked for me despite the miss opportunity to show us more but the boss was great until it ended, I thought thay where building up to the boss with some platforming (shame) considering you gave crash 2 & 3 an 8/10 from memory lol I'm glad crash 4 is also an 8, IMO it's as good as 2 & 3, your review has made my day!

After so much hype this game almost became the best in the franchkse, but then it went down the same rocky road as Sonic Unleashed and disappoint me. The purple gem was cut for no reason and with all the different dimensions, there could have been more Crash villains showing up, but no, the potential was wasted. The N Sanely Perfect Relics also provide such an unnecessary spike in difficulty. I usually like Crash, but after this one it's going to be a long time before I willingly get hyped up for a game again.

I'm happy to see your death count was similar to the one I had in that last Crash platforming level, was beginning to think I had lost my touch. xD Glad to have finally gotten to see your perspective on the game, here's to a bright future for yourself, as well as the orange marsupial. :)

Actually, this referenced a lot of the previous games like: Two N. Tropys = Evil Twins (and the Trophy is called Twinsanity) The Cage-Ball = Wrath of the Cortex Balls Levels Kupuna-Wa is OF COURSE Grimly from Mind Over Mutant N. Gin = Guitar Hero 3 because of the desert background and N. Gin boss from Crash of the Titans Tawna = Nina in Twinsanity Chasing Cortex with Polar in a Snow Level with an LABORATORY ON IT??? = Iceberg Level from Twinsanity Final Cortex Boss = Final Boss from Wrath of the Cortex Rope mechanic and Wall-Walk = Titans and Mind Over Mutant and I have to say...the Prehistoric Levels Art Style INTENSETLY REMINDS OF the Art Style of Crash of the Titans, I even made a video putting the Crash of the Titans soundtrack in Crash 4 and it match perfectly in my opinion.

Thank god finally someone actually says something logical about the story. It definitely isn't that good for the reasons Jak talks about here. And tbh to me at least it was a letdown to see how the story went, even though the final twist in the end was really clever.

Glad that we got a sequel that most fans are able to enjoy. Wrath of Cortex was such a mixed bag which I personally enjoyed as a kid, but can see the flaws and sigh at as an adult. But the most important thing is that a game is enjoyable, which it was for some people :]

In terms of the narrative; I do agree with what you said on N.Tropy, I really wished we saw more of him being fleshed out in the game. But I do have some more issues with this plot; Uka Uka is pretty much absent in the whole game which seems like a really big missed opportunity, it would've been cool to see him make a surprise return as a bonus villain of some kind. N.Brio is back to working for Cortex again for whatever reason despite that he helped Crash and Coco in the 2nd game, I really don't get why he's on his side again, especially since it's pretty clear that he's still not happy to be working for him. Alt Tawna was a cool concept too but pretty underdeveloped, she's just a background character in my eyes(unless we're looking at her rear!), I think this is more so a timeline issue as well since we don't get much of those stages which left me pretty underwhelmed as a result. And I really wished the game had ended with N.Tropy's defeat, instead we get the Sn@xx dimension which would've been a lot better as a bonus world of some kind for full completion, and the whole Cortex Island world whilst it is a really cool concept, I honestly don't think this was the right game to pull that off, maybe in a sequel sure but not really this game, like it just comes out of nowhere with no buildup and Cortex's interactions with his past self really made me cringe, especially since I honestly never took Cortex seriously as a villain ever since Twinsanity so having him be the final villain instead of Tropy really ruins what felt like a pretty solid story to me. Alright on its own but definitely could've been a whole lot better.

I still think despite being Crunch Time on steroids for the last Cortex boss, I think the final Crunch boss was better handled. At least that boss actually PUNISHED you for fucking up.

This is not the best Crash game, it is overly ambitious and animal riding sections like the alien control like ass. Warped and Cortex Strikes Back are better. This is still a great sequel which we deserved after so many years and I'm glad we got it!
