The Wrath of Cortex is Consistently Frustrating

Crash Bandicoot, Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back, and Crash Bandicoot: Warped are all excellent games - however, the fourth title, Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex... not so much. The game received mixed reception from fans and critics, due to its frustrating gameplay and lack of innovation. But The Wrath of Cortex doesn't have just one obvious design flaw to blame, instead a series of small issues all contribute to the disappointment in the first sequel to the Crash Bandicoot Trilogy. #CrashBandicoot #CrashBandicootTheWrathOfCortex #CrashBandicootWarped You might have noticed that some of the footage looks a bit blurry. The PS2 outputs interlaced video, which causes problems when capturing the footage for use in a progressive format, like a computer monitor, phone, or any video service on the web. The deinterlacing settings I used here weren't ideal, I will try to avoid this problem in the future. 00:00 What is The Wrath of Cortex? 01:27 Teaching new mechanics 04:09 Alternate paths and hidden gems 06:02 Nitros, nitros, everywhere 08:29 Coco (but the less good version) 09:59 Floaty jumps and a new camera 12:28 Sneak shoes: the worst power-up ever 14:23 Various Things Wrong With The Wrath of Cortex in 4 minutes or fewer 17:22 It's ok I guess Clips used from: Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex Crash Bandicoot Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back Crash Bandicoot: Warped Crash Twinsanity Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time Cuphead Animal Crossing: New Horizons Star Wars Squid Game Original gameplay of Playstation and Playstation 2 games was emulated on PC at 1440p using ePSXe and PCSX2 respectively Clever camera trickery in the original Crash Bandicoot https://all-things-andy-gavin.com/201...
