Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back is the second game in the Crash Bandicoot series, and the sequel to the original game. The gameplay is largely similar to that of the original, as players make their way through a limited environment whilst breaking crates that contains bonuses. The goal of the game is to gather 25 crystals for Crash's nemesis, Doctor Neo Cortex. The crystals are scattered between 25 different levels accessible via Warp Rooms, which are hub areas of the game. A level is cleared by collecting its respective crystal and reaching the end of its path, which returns Crash to the Warp Room.

This one was also super good like the first one. I miss the overhead map selection screen but this has an excellent vibe too. It made me grow chest hair

The sequel to Crash Bandicoot 1 story starts off where you last defeated Dr. Cortex crash landing him into a cave with powered crystals leading him on a evil scheme, then shows you resting suddenly your sister is out of batteries on her laptop so she tasks you in searching for a new pair, you end up being warped to a place of unknown origin full of portals meeting a broadcasted hologram of Dr. Cortex telling you must collect the crystals save the land. A really fun game for sure full of platforming you even get to ride a baby polar bear, the music is pretty good in this one a recommended game for those who love platformers or want to game series in general.

Great game to go through and holds up to the test of time for the most part. 100%ing was a different story. 😅 The secrets and backtracking the game demands from you along with the new abilities added can be frustrating on a first time playthrough, but it's really satisfying once everything is said and done. It's a really fun new adventure for Crash to go through after the first game and definitely worth checking out.

Este é, ao lado de Crash Team Racing, meu jogo preferido da franquia. A melhoria na jogabilidade é notória em relação ao primeiro jogo, os mapas estão mais diversificados, há uma variedade maior de inimigos, os puzzles são bem elaborados e, por fim, o nível de dificuldade está mais balanceado. É, pra mim, um jogo impecável, que explora muito bem os elementos nostálgicos deixados pelo primeiro jogo.

Da Trilogia clássica, certamente esse é o melhor! Vale muito a pena e amo sempre visitar ele novamente no PlayStation.

Bem mais criativo que o primeiro jogo, algumas mecânicas novas do Crash, inimigos e cenários também! Porém as lutas de chefes são bem mais fáceis aqui. A trilha sonora achei inferior ao anterior mas cumpre seu papel 👍

 

Mais um clássico do PS1 pra se divertir sem compromisso

 

9.0/10

Rating is gonna be definitely skewed because of the age, obviously the graphics don't hold up but that's irrelevant to a pioneer of platforming gaming such as this, and this is partial nostalgia but this is a damn good and fun game, difficult but not infuriating though it definitely can be. One of the best soundtracks to date. 9/10
