"A good boss battle isn't a good boss battle without a bit of frustration" I'd personally say it depends on what exactly causes that frustration of the boss fight.

i am not really sure that every game was like this but in my experience the game wasnt on dvd. It was on cd (ps2 blue disc). This means that there was less space for the developers to work with. A couple other blue disc games that i got had similar or worse quality in graphics. This explains also the slow load times, and the much faster (and louder) disc spin of the system. The only bad thing i can say about this game is the second boss. As a kid, it was punishingly hard for me, at some point i got so pissed i gave up and stopped playing the game. After quite some time (5 years at least) i got around to it again and actually beat the damn boss. I really enjoyed the rest of the game and it never again felt unfair or harder than it should be. Its cute, its fun and there is a lot to do. in my opinion: crash 3 > wrath of cortex > crash 2

[@erxer1]

Not sure if anybody else mentioned this but there's quite a simple reason why you remember the loading screens being long. It's because there are two revisions of the game. Long story short - the devs wanted to add a minigame where crash collected wumpa fruit during the loading screens but they were too short so they artificially made them longer. The publisher didn't want to risk infringing on the Namco patent of games during loading screens so the developers had to remove it but didn't have time to fix the length of the loading screens before launch. They did however have time to fix them for the patched version of the game that shipped out later.

@Irrelevant BMB I prefer Crash 2 for the innovations made and better moveset (and a little nostalgia tbh) the only level I found outright frustrating was Beehaving for 100% completion.

[@Aiden-Ed]

Irrelevant BMB because they added new moves that branch into different moves, had a bigger focus on fast paced gameplay than 1, and had more level themes than the first one. All of what you said can be applied to the first game, but the worse controls and level design made it age much much worse than two and three. Lights Out, Cortex Power, Slippery Climb, The High Road, Sunset Vista, and more rely a lot on either confusing level layouts, waiting and planning, or have gimmicks that were also done in Crash 2 but you didn’t realize that fact so you blamed it solely on Crash 2.

Irrelevant BMB thats why I like the N sane versions of the games, they overall have smoother controls and graphics. Also the jungle levels in 2 are actually temperate forests. Like the actual themes of Crash 1 are not as diverse as two. Crash 1: Jungle, Native Fortress, Ruins, Castle, Lab. Crash 2: Temperate forest, taiga, ruined castle, space, arctic, and sewer.

When I was a kid, I had all the crash games on PS1. I loved them. Even Crash Bash. My uncle had a PS2, so I got his handmedown games. But he had this game! And of course, it being the only Crash game I didn’t have, I wanted to play it every time I went to his house. I loved it. The artistic style. The music. The vehicles. The new characters and concepts. I haven’t replayed this one as an adult, but after watching this, I’m probably going to. The hate is unwarranted. This is a good Crash game.

One thing I like from this game it's how colorful it is. I like it when PS2 games use so many blues, reds, greens, yellows, pinks, etc.

[@princekanbatsu2301]

I remember when i was a kid i found this game to be something not "real". I always felt like it was a bad copy of the previous chapters and only now i just found out it was not done by naughty dog lol It feels not only repetitive but more of a bad copy of warped. While twinsanity and titans were just way too different from the main style of the game. In my heart warped will be the best we ever had from the series. Nice vid

I remember playing this as a kid and only beating the entire game once. My PS2 didn't have a memory card, so I had to beat it without turning it off within 3 days because I had to go back to my mom's house.

Those were the days

I grew up loving this game on the PS2, played this all summer back in 2006 when I first discovered the game. The elemental masks were such cool bosses and just so unique in personality. I would love to see this game remade or remastered like the N.Sane trilogy.

[@alexkennedy6112]

Seems like this and Twinsanity have gotten more appreciation over the years. I only played WoC out of the two but I remember liking it a lot.

Never understood the hate for it outside of loading times

@@GordoFreakmanFail-Life I know I use the ps2 version and my loading times are short

[@homeoftek5844]

I wasn't just the loading times. It's also poor game design and graphics, but just about all early ps2 games suffered from that. So, I won't be too harsh on the graphics. I have nostalgia for this game like everyone who play it as a kid. And trust me, I absolutely LOVED this game. But I was a kid

[@FaithfulFumoFan23]

This is my favorite Crash game because it's the one I played the most as a child. I'm not old enough to have grown up with the PS1 games and didn't play them until much later in life.

[@djtoxicdhg]

Honest to God it absolutely was even as a kid whenever I was really disappointed and how the game turned out compared to the original Crash Bandicoot games I still thought the game was amazing and now that I've grown up I've just appreciate the game just that much more sure does it have a major flaws absolutely but I genuinely feel like it's a good game

[@DinaNaddy]

I remember correctly I played Wrath of Cortex when I was younger, and I played N Sane Trilogy this year. Wrath of Cortex will always have a special place in my heart, so even if I play the other Crash games, they don't even dare to replace Wrath of Cortex.

[@dotproduct335]

This soundtrack ❤❤❤❤

[@BigYabai]

This was my first Crash game and I absolutely adored it When I heard how people seem to revile the game so much I played it again to see if I was just nostalgic but no, I still love it and still enjoy it as much as back then.

[@LordTchernobog]

I'm quiet glad later games redesigned the size of Crunch. I found his debut size... umm... too clunky.

I had to agree with you. 👍🏻

This game defined my early childhood. We didn't have the earlier crash games and we only had a few PS1 games and 3 or 4 PS2 games. Combine that with the fact that I shared the PS2 with my 2 older brothers, and the other games were rated too old for me made this game along with crazy taxi and tony hawk the only games I played for several years. I even have aku aku tattooed on my arm. I love this game

[@XpertGreekGamer]

11:15 *_WRONG_* You need it for that gem platforming section to get another gem which was difficult af for me the first time but still fun. 15:02 You can tell where the spot to dodge is going to be if you look at Crunch the moment he releases this attack and exposes himself from some particles comming out of him. Great review btw, you gave a lot of insight, most i never knew about and i only disagreed on one part. Woc i believe is better than warped simply because it had variety in themes, excellent soundtrack, good controling vechiles, (Only the sub is the worst in the franchise, the mech i learnt how or what to shoot so i liked and i'd still would love to see how much the geniouses over at oxford studios would've perfected the sub, just like how they perfected almost all of Twinsanity, even their ideas were more Crash than the entire Naughty Dog trilogy) not being stuck in a vechile for most levels, longer sometimes more open and context behind levels. Example: H2O is Crash using the sub to reach an underwater base, then ditches it and goes on foot in search of a crystal. That's so fucking cool. Anyway, MY POINT! This new "more open, playable Coco and Cortex, context behind levels" game reminds me of wrath of cortex with unfortunately a teeny tiny bit of Twinsanity. Unfortunately because the game like wrath of cortex will not be as perfect or at least EXPAND on what the series evolution aka crash twinsanity accomplished, instead we're going back AGAIN to the outdated ND style. Bruh. At this point this "new" game is not as necessary as a twinsanity re-imagine is but whatever. Way.....WAY too fucking early to judge, these are just first impressions.

[@MattMillwardUK]

Lol outdated Naughty Dog style? The Naughty Dog trilogy are the only crash games that still hold up today buddy hence the remakes

Wrath of cortex just does so many different and interesting things introduces alot of characters and settings delivered in various game play segments that are so different from one another and the whole mood of the game is just an interesting insight to how PS2 platofmers were handled at the time
