AnimollerJul 8, 2002The graphics on this game are nice, and the game is fun to play, but the load times are terrible. It also doesn't have very many of the original running-foward Crash levels that I liked so much.

ColinS.Jul 1, 2003Excessive load times, end level battles drag on like a busted arse. otherwise the game is great.

RolandoP.Jan 8, 2002It's basically the same thing, same moves, same ideas. Different platform, a lot of loading time, horrible backs with pink and blue bubbles but I'm still a marsupials fan.

Jan 6, 2016With imaginative sequences and bosses, The Wrath of Cortex is a good game. It's loading screens and lack of an enticing story hurts the game overall however.

Dec 29, 2015Crash game was very interesting, but it gave me a lot dificutad in l level 9 , a hail of bullets and too complicated, but at other times , the game was very funny, and entretain.

Oct 29, 2017Un buen juego, pero no esta ni de cerca al nivel de los anteriores juegos de la saga. Quisieron copiar lo mejor, y dolo lograron una copia mal hecha de un juegazo.

Mar 23, 2019The only Crash Bandicoot game on the PS2 that looks a bit like the Crash Bandicoot games on the PS, but less fun to play. Too bad that the Crash games after this one only got from bad to worse, totally abandoning everything that was good about the original Crash Bandicoot games.

Jun 8, 2022from all aspects, the crash trilogy ps1 is much better, the game feels very boring and flat

HenrikS.Jun 7, 2007The load times are a drag and it doesn´t compete with Crash 3 - Warped.

MattS.Dec 2, 2001Nah, this is just like the PSOne Crash games, which weren't too special either.

Nov 6, 2011The graphics are worse than the xbox version, and this loads a lot. The camera is very annoying, because sometimes you can't see where are you going. In this game Crash runs slower than in Crash Bandicoot 1-2-3. Easy to beat the time trials.
-
Feb 3, 2014Average at best.I have to admit,the new devs did a decent job at the presentation,but it lacks the charm previous Crash games had (all develovped by Naughty Dog).(Most) of the bosses are terrible,with the exception of Air Crunch,and the loading times.OOOOOH the loading times.You will see that floating Crash screen more than you see your penis.

Dec 16, 2015The game has okeyish graphics,still look like the one from psone but a bit better,levels are fun to play at times and the load times...they just plain terrible they take forever to load.Only buy it if you're a fan of the series or to buy a present to your kids.

Jul 3, 2018Intentaron revivir la esencia de Crash, pero no fue lo mismo que la trilogía original, considero que los gráficos son mas feos y la jugabilidad empeora un poco.
-
Mar 10, 2018this game is meh, it's not like "oh, what a beautiful game!". Bad graphics, nothing new, it's just like Crash 3, five warprooms and one secret warproom, 25 cristals, the theme is just Crash 3 remixed, and other things, it's a hard game, the first boss is incredible hard! But this game should have been better.

Sep 15, 2020Mediocre at best the controls are here but the loading screens and slowed down gameplay just isn't great.
A top this having the same boss with just different element power ups is boring after the first boss fight. -

May 7, 2023Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex by Vivendi Universal Games for PlayStation 2 is a good game.
-
ElmoFeb 7, 2002One to give a chance me thinks. It looks SO much better. You wont notice the graphics till you go back and play the old Crash games. It can be a little easy and you do feel you going in a straight line for ages but it will make you laugh and it will shut your sister/daughter up for half an hour.

JordanH.Nov 3, 2002It is Crash, but It's just so mediocre. I liked it better on the PS1. Sure the graphics are nice, but where's the fun?

Oct 10, 2011Aside from some repetitious and "trial-and-error" gameplay and excruciatingly long loading screens, Wrath of Cortex isn't a bad game at all. Though it lacks innovation, it certainly is fun at times -- as well as good-looking.
-
Dec 25, 2013Any Crash Bandicoot fan would be a fool not to go out and buy this game. The wrath of cortex is a little weaker than orginal Crashes(1,2,3 Naughty Dog) but VU Games have done solid job with this one. It's nothing terribly special, but it's not bad.

May 3, 2016This game was the only time I did play a Crash Bandicoot game, unfortunately, I tried the best as I can to love it, but it's no use. Crash Bandicoot fans can call this one a pickup. Averagely good game.

Apr 10, 20177.5 - Not bad for a Crash games, but no comparison to the original series. Has a good amount of fun levels, but boss battles are not nearly as memorable as Tiny in Warped.
-
Apr 30, 2018The base ideas to the game were good but the execution lacked in the levels and gameplay, specially if compared to the Naughy Dog era. It also looks really bad, its choice of models looked jarring and weird even back when it came out.

Sep 12, 2022It's not a bad game by any means, but it's truly just a worse copy of Warped. Only for die-hard fans of the bandicoot.

Mar 21, 2023Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex non è terribile né come gioco né come gioco di Crash, ma non è neanche un capolavoro. Ha molti difetti, una cattiva telecamera, modelli dei personaggi discutibili, alcuni livelli un poco spogli ma altri divertenti e piacevoli. I boss non mi hanno colpito, poco ispirati.
In definitiva un gioco piacevole che vale la pena giocare almeno una volta. -

Not only is the gameplay un-revised on this much more powerful platform, but much of the former joy in the series has been drained away. The characters, levels and gameplay are essentially flat.
-
A decent playing and pretty looking Crash Bandicoot game. It's nothing terribly special, but it's not bad, not bad at all.
-
A by the books sequel that takes playing it safe to a new level. Come on guys this easily could have been done on the PS One and it probably should have.
