Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex

Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex was the first game to feature Crash Bandicoot on the Playstation 2, Game Cube, and X-Box.

Storyline
After numerous blunders, Uka Uka decides a new tactic is needed. In order to destroy Crash, it is decided to fight fire with fire and make a new bandicoot. Everything Dr N Cortex ever wanted in the first place came true with the creation of Crunch.

Additions
Apart from obvious cosmetic changes in the graphics and sound, various features were added. Some features would later appear in the Game Boy Advance titles.


 * Crash rides a 4x4 jeep, and a robot suit.

Reception
Due to ludicrous loading times on the PlayStation 2 version, this game was not well received. The loading times were fixed on the X-Box version (with graphics improved considerably) and GameCube version (with losses in graphics). Fans of the Crash series were not impressed at the cross platform nature of this game, losing the feeling that Crash was the Sony mascot.
