Product Description
-------------------
C Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex, the first PS2 addition to
the series, delivers the same mix of intuitive gameplay and
elaborate adventure that fans have come to expect, with many
enhancements and all-new environments and missions. Neo Cortex is
back, and he means to rid himself of C once and for all. To
energise his most diabolical creation to date, Cortex channels
the power of the Elementals, a group of renegade s with the
destructive power of Air, Earth, Water and Fire. To stop the
Elementals and Cortex's new weapon, C or Coco (a fully
playable character for the first time) will face five game hubs,
25 dynamic levels and five unique bosses, as well as the
appearance of a new character who will rock the C world.
You can complete specific levels of the game to play as C's
fiery sister. Coco will have a wide variety of moves and
animations tailored to fit her personality. New free-roam
sections will be implemented within certain levels of the game.
These sections feature puzzles and hidden areas never before seen
in a C game. New bosses and mini-bosses offer up a Noah's
Ark-sized list of new creatures. The game also has an all-new
graphics engine that brings vivid life to environment and
characters as never before.
.co.uk Review
-------------
C Bandicoot is a bargain basement Taz, a capering,
rolling-eyed dingo-like creature. Over the few years before his
PS2 debut, C Bandicoot: the Wrath of Cortex, he's appeared in
various PSone titles--usually Mario wannabe platformers, but
there've also been blatant Mario Party and Mario Kart (
/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00005MDZY/${0} ) rip-offs in the shapes of
C Bash ( /exec/obidos/ASIN/B00005QAUY/${0} ) and C Team
Racing ( /exec/obidos/ASIN/B00005444K/${0} ).
Never less than fun, yet never a realistic contender when
compared against the genre-defining Mario 64, C has sometimes
received a fairly rough ride from the press. With original
developers Naughty Dog passing on the chance to produce a PS2
version, Travellers Tales have created this effort, and in terms
of gameplay, there's no progression here whatsoever. This is
C as we know and tolerate him, albeit with fancier lighting
effects. All the familiar faces return, including (obviously,
given the title) arch-goon Dr Cortex.
And it's great, as it goes. Ignore the on-rails nature of the
gameplay and the dismally slow loading times; it's unlikely
you'll come across a jauntier, more ridiculous, stupid-brilliant
game for some time. As well as the usual platform action, there
are mine-cart chases á la Indiana Jones & The Temple of Doom,
hysterically playable Marble Madness-style levels, secrets,
bonuses, vehicles, new moves; all kinds of everything, as Dana
might have put it if she were into video games rather than
winning the 1970 Eurovision Song Contest. Simple to pick up and
play, crammed with outlandish ideas, colourful, loud and a laff
riot into the bargain, it would be a hard heart that didn't warm
to this old 'coot. --Steve Colton

Manufacturer's Description
--------------------------
C Bandicoot's first PlayStation 2 title returns to the
stunning blend of platform and action elements of the
million-selling PSone games, but uses the PS2's superior
technology to create a larger and more interactive game world. As
such, Wrath of Cortex finds C running, jumping and spinning
through over 30 hazard-filled levels, with a host of familiar
faces from the long-running series also along for the ride.
Once again the series' villain and C's arch nemesis, Dr
Cortex, is up to no good--he's planning to use the power of the
elements to raise a powerful Elemental Lord to kill our hero.
Thus, C is thrown into a series of levels themed around
Earth, Wind, Fire and Water, and must avoid contact with Cortex's
many cronies while collecting bonuses and using whatever comes to
hand in order to reach the end of the level.
Amongst the new additions to the PlayStation 2 game is C's
all-new tiptoe move, while the series' use of vehicles has also
been hugely expanded with C gaining access to gyrocopters,
jeeps and a scooter. Players can also now control C's
friends, with Coco also stepping into the limelight during the
course of the game.
