Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex

Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex was the first game to feature Crash Bandicoot on the Playstation 2, GameCube, and Xbox.

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 Neo 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 very long loading times on the PlayStation 2 version and the lack of Gameplay improvements, this game was not well received. The loading times were fixed on the Xbox 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. This also argulably the game when Crash Bandicoot became 'uncool'.
