Crash Bandicoot 2 - Rock It, Pack Attack Music

[@1989murr]

Will never forget the PlayStation magazine review said this game "had the same plinky plonky music as the first crash." Are you kidding haha this soundtrack is unbelievably brilliant!!

[@elbrunelleschi]

"Crash Bandicoot 2 Soundtrack: 5/10. *USUAL PLINKY PLONKY MUSIC*"

[@hugoclarke3284]

Unfortunately, even skilled musicians are known to reject the works of other skilled musicians. From a purely objective stand point, this level of composition is above what most people can grasp.

[@Summon256]

Sorry Sewers level beat that for me!...

[@opal77]

How people can say games aren't art amuses me. Infact, it's like a mash of 3 very important sections of art (Storytelling,Visual, and Musical) While integrating it's own 4'th element, player interactivity. This song so wonderfully describes the level itself without you even needing to take a look at it. Slow and gradual buildup... and you Crash readies himself for a leap.... unsure, but excited... the jetpack is secure, he takes a running start, and blasts forward! Ahem... In any case, a brilliant piece from a brilliant game. Josh Mancell, you are a genius, and your music is forever intertwined with my childhood T-T

[@opal77]

[@MuhammadZaidiwater]

+AntiFormKeyblade we have same opinion about gaming, and your comment is epic i liked it :D

[@MichaelHill-sg8ks]

+Opal I completely agree, especially if you look at something like Shadow of the Colossus.

[@horsemask]

Some video games can be art. Earthbound, Mother 3, Metal Gear Solid 2, Metal Gear Solid 3, Portal, etc. But it has to tell a good story. Crash 2, though? No. This is a silly game about a trouser-wearing marsupial fighting a mad scientist and riding polar bear babies like they're razorbacks. This is not a good game to use as an example for your argument.

[@animefreakculicious2]

I always loved how the music progressively gets faster. It sort of reflects when a player is learning for the first time how to use the jetpack and once the player gets used to it they progress through the level faster. I see what you did there Naughty Dog, good job ;)

[@Francesco_Zara]

I've always thought the same thing.

[@jimbob1192]

It's amazing how complex this music is... from how it speeds up at the beginning to having all the different bits of it.... Epic. The levels were awesome too!

They must be deaf cause the songs seem way slower paced, funkier and even go on longer than the songs in the first game.

[@RufusFinnick]

Me gusta cuando las mejores partes del juego están cerca del final, es la recompensa para los que juntamos todas las gemas y cristales de niveles pasados antes de presenciar la genialidad de los niveles del quinto mundo xD

[@Detective_L]

It only took a year or less to create each sequel for the Crash trilogy. Games today would blow up with such a short development time. Game devolvement these days may be bigger in scale but they also have larger teams, bigger budget, more development time, established game engines with tons of documentation, and access to the internet and yet they still turn out to be broken, buggy messes most of the time. I really have to admire game design from years ago that had to create there own engine and work with huge constrictions.

[@ideac.]

Really true

[@alchemy5750]

So true. Also let's not forget they got the entire Crash trilogy out with like 200MB of RAM and that's best-case scenario. And they all had to come out perfect on first release. No second, third and millionth chance to do "patch updated and bugfixes" like todays devs do it. It either came out playable or it went down the drain.

[@thehyperstar123]

To add to this, I think Crash Bandicoot 2 actually had a different engine from the first one.

[@xDMrGarrison]

Crash Bandicoot had such good music. Always cheers me up and fills me with a kind of childlike optimism when listening to it.
