You'll occasionally get to pilot a variety of air, land, and sea craft though part of a level or an entire level. Thankfully, the levels are often broken up by some short yet enjoyable sequences in vehicles. Wrath of Cortex's levels, for the most part, are the same linear valleys, corridors, and tunnels from the first Crash games, and the camera is the same problematic low-angled one that causes problems with depth perception, making gap jumps and dodging incoming enemies or projectiles needlessly difficult. That feeling of unoriginality was further amplified when Traveller's Tales brought Crash to the next generation of consoles but adhered to the same old gameplay formula. It's almost as if the original game's design document had blanks for "sound-related adjective" and "obscure animal," and the creators replaced "sonic" and "hedgehog" with "crash" and "bandicoot" and then went from there, cribbing occasionally from Mega Man and Mario as well. Of course, the Crash series has always had a sort of me-too feel, taking bits and pieces of other platform games and fitting them with different guises. Traveller's Tales has taken the reins of Crash Bandicoot from Naughty Dog, and it has seen fit to nearly copy the gameplay of the previous Crash games, adding very few twists. This latest Crash basically plays much like the first games in the series. Cortex's evil plans, this time by jumping, spinning, and belly-flopping through 24 levels as Crash and six levels as his genius kid sister, Coco. Your goal in Wrath of Cortex is to once again stop Dr.
So it's no surprise that this Crash game is now showing up on the GameCube almost a year after its original appearance on the PS2.
Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex is what happens when a developer whose track record mostly consists of titles based on licenses like Toy Story, A Bug's Life, and the Muppets gets handed an actual game franchise-the end result is a disjointed pile of middling content that closely resembles the property it's based on but doesn't attempt to do anything except be good enough to cash in on the license.
