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.

Fun for all ages, but a bit too hard for the younger kidsNov 11, 2002
By Walter Reade
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 bandicootNov 22, 2003

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

The best Crash Bandicoot game yet!!!Jan 14, 2003

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.
