There's not much to say about this one. Vivendi Universal hasn't strayed too far from the formula which made the Crash series on Playstation such a success.

There are five worlds and each world has five levels. You can eventually open up a sixth bonus world. You bust open crates to collect fruit and try and get to the end of a level. Some of the levels are rather dull and not at all creative.

However, that's not true of all of the levels. Some of them are quite fun. You get to ride on such things as a scooter, snowboard and mine cart just to mention a few. It's this break from the monotony that makes the game a decent platformer.

My recommendation is to check it out if you are a Crash fan or a platform junkie. Otherwise, you might consider passing up on this one because it ultimately doesn't offer enough new elements to make it too interesting.

The game is average in just about all aspects: graphics, gameplay, and storyline. The game doesn't provide anything over the standard Mario-type-smashing-crates-and-collecting-fruit game, but is still fun, nonetheless, and provides a good amount of play time. Many of the levels are too challenging for younger players. There are some levels where the player "dies" by missing a jump, falling into water, and drowning. I thought the image of the character floating face down in the water wasn't appropriate for younger kids. For the most part, though, it will provide entertainment for all ages.

This is a great cheap game. It's a little easy for the avid gamer but still entertaining and fun.

crash bandicoot the wrath of cortex is an excellent game i got it the chrhismas of 2001 and its vibrant gameplay extrodinary sound and untraditional gameplay make it perhaps the greatest game launched that year your sent into an interactive 3d world with exceptional sound qaulity graphics and a taste of adventure making the previous 3 games look boring it features an ultra dynamic 3d envirorement its the future of crash bandicoot games although one thing that might disappoint the avid gamer is the game is still held in the confinements of a warp room and crystals gems and rellics are still to be collected and some of its levels are extrodinarily hard one particular portal the nineth portal that sinking feeling is superhard harder than just about anything ever featured in a crash game but its unlimited vareitys of levels like the rhinoceras chase japeneese village underwater escape and blizzardy moautintop is enough to keep you entertained plus new bosses are in the game including a water monster and air giant and theyre all upset crash has set foot into there capsules the end boss crunch is extremely hard in fact ive stopped fighting him a while back but good luck if you think you can beat him because of all these qaulities i would definitly recomend this game to not only crash fans but to just about all gamers

This is an excellent game!!I think this is the best crash game yet.The graphics are super,the music is excellent and the challenge is good.The only bad point is that it takes a long time to load.But everything else makes up for it.Oh yeah and now coco is a fully playable character.

I have been a Crash fan all my life and so far.....this is the greatest crash version yet! you get 2 ride a Crash Mech, ride in a ball, steer in a gold mine and much more great activities! the bosses are challenging 2! it releases 2morrow! if u luv crash this game is for u!

(i just dont like the long loading....)

First, let me say my kids love thos game. My daughter is willing to put up with the long load time and other drawbacks. Once you begin to master the game, it's a lot of fun. I've played it with and without them and do find the long loading times annoying but no worse than having to wait for a DVD menu to show up. Patience is the key here I suppose.

Initially there are five different games you can play to beat Neocortex. The flying game where you have to destroy tornado generators that are destroying the countryside is quite fun although relatively easy to master.

The chase through the castle is probably the most challenging at the moment. Trying to out run the dragon without stepping into a pit is a bit of a challenge. You just have to remember where all the pits are and keep moving.

The reason I've given this four stars instead of five are related to the long load times. Still, the graphics are beautifully rendered and the characters, sound effects and challenges are well thought out and imaginative. The violence is mild and most of the fun comes from trying to escape the wizards and knights guarding the castle. Just remember that you can jump on top of the knights and dispose of them quickly this way. On the other hand, the avoid the wizards. Even if you jump on top of them, they'll send you back to the beginning.

This is a very VERY fun game. there are lots of very fun levels too. Not to mention the graphics are awsome as well. I highly advise you to get this game. It ROCKS!

Highly recommended if you like the past Crash games.

This game is very complex! Crash does die a lot! It is an intense game. Very hard for those that are only starters in game play! I'd say the other crash games are better! Well atleast it's on game cube!!
