Gameplay

edit
Top:In this level,Crashrolls along while inside an "Atlasphere". A menu at the top of the screen shows the number of Wumpa fruit collected, the current number of boxes broken (out of the level's box total), and the number of lives.
Bottom:Another level. To Crash's left isAku Aku,a sentient mask who protects Crash from damage. To Crash's right is a "?" platform, which leads him to a Bonus Round. Various hazards lie in front of Crash. An enemy scorpion patrols in front of the bridge, while an enemy bird hovers above a row of explosive Nitro crates on the far side of the bridge.

The Wrath of Cortexis aplatform gamein which the player controlsCrashandCoco Bandicoot,who must gather 25 Crystals and defeat the main antagonists of the story:Doctor Neo Cortex,his new superweaponCrunch Bandicootand Crunch's power sources, the renegadeElementals.Much of the game takes place in a "Virtual Reality (VR) Hub System" created by Coco to help Crash gather the Crystals. The VR Hub System is split up into five "VR Hubs"; initially, only the first VR Hub is available. Each VR Hub has five teleportation portals to differentlevels.[6]The goal in each level is to find and obtain the Crystal hidden in the area. In some levels, the Crystal will be located at the end of a level or must be earned by completing a specific challenge.[7]Most levels contain a "Bonus Platform" that leads to a special bonus area, where the player must navigate through a maze and collect everything in sight. Once a bonus area is completed, it cannot be played again unless the level is replayed.[8]After completing all five levels in a VR Hub, a sixth teleportation portal to aBoss fightwith Crunch will appear. By defeating the Boss, the next VR Hub will become available for play.[6]When all 25 Crystals are collected and Doctor Cortex and Crunch are defeated, the game is won.[8]

Besides Crystals, Gems and Coloured Gems can be collected for extra accomplishment. Gems are rewarded to the player if all of the crates in a level are broken open or if a secret area is completed. Coloured Gems are found in special levels and lead to hidden areas. "Relics" can be won by re-entering a level where the Crystal has already been retrieved. To obtain a Relic, the player must initiate the "Time Trial" mode and race through a level in the pre-designated time displayed before entering a level.[7]To begin a Time Trial run, the player must enter a level and activate the floating stopwatch near the beginning of the level to activate the timer; if the stopwatch is not touched, the level can be played regularly. The player must then race through the level as quickly as possible. Scattered throughout the level are yellow crates with the numbers one, two, or three on them. When these crates are broken, the timer is frozen for the number of seconds designated by the box. As no lives are lost in the Time Trial mode, the level can be played through as often as the player desires. Sapphire, Gold and Platinum Relics can be won depending on how low the player's final time is.[9]The first five Relics the player receives unlocks access to a secret level. Every five Relics thereafter open up another level in the Secret Warp Room. The levels in the Secret Warp Room must be won before the game can be fully completed.[7]

Crash and Coco Bandicoot start the game with fivelives.Crash and Coco lose a life when they are struck by an enemy attack or suffer any other type of damage. More lives can be earned by collecting 100 "Wumpa Fruits" or breaking open a special crate to collect a life.[8]Crash and Coco can be shielded from enemy attack by collecting anAku Akumask. Collecting three of these masks allows temporary invulnerability from all minor dangers.[7]If Crash or Coco run out of lives, the game is over. However, the game can be continued by selecting "Continue" at the "Game over"screen.[8]

Ten returning characters from previousCrashtitles star inCrash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortexalong with five new characters. The protagonist of the series, Crash Bandicoot, is a genetically enhancedeastern barred bandicootwho must defeat the antagonist Doctor Neo Cortex and his new superweapon. Coco Bandicoot, Crash's younger sister, is a highly intelligent computer expert with an interest in Hong Kong martial arts films, having developed a highly masterful ability of martial arts from being self taught.Aku Akuis an omnipotent witch doctor mask who guides and aids Crash and Coco in stopping the plans of Doctor Neo Cortex. Pura, Coco's pet tiger cub, serves a very minor role and appears only in the introduction of the game.[10]

The main antagonist of the series, Doctor Neo Cortex, is amad scientistwho created Crash Bandicoot among other characters and now seeks Crash's elimination along with world domination. The controlling force behind Cortex's plots for conquering the world isUka Uka,the twin brother of Aku Aku. Four recurring villains from the series serve minor roles in the game:Dr. N. Gin,Cortex's main assistant;Dr. Nefarious Tropy,a scientist who specialises in time travel;Tiny Tiger,a hulking and ferociousthylacine;andDingodile,adingo-crocodilehybrid armed with aflamethrower.[11]

Five new characters in the series make their appearance inThe Wrath of Cortex,of which the most important is Dr. Cortex's genetically enhanced superweapon Crunch Bandicoot, a bionic bandicoot created for the purpose of destroying Crash Bandicoot.[11]Acting as Crunch's power source are the Elementals, a group of evil masks who control the elements of Earth, Water, Fire, and Air. The Elementals consist of Rok-Ko, a temperamental and rock-headed earthbending mask who controls earthquakes and landslides, Wa-Wa, a waterbending mask who controls thunderstorms and floods, Py-Ro, an easily perturbed firebending mask who controls volcano eruptions, and Lo-Lo, a joke-cracking airbending mask who controls tornadoes.[12]

Story

edit

Frustrated by their poor "track record for spreading evil", Uka Uka orders Dr. Neo Cortex, Tiny Tiger, Dingodile, Dr. Nefarious Tropy and Dr. N. Gin to devise a plan to eliminate Crash Bandicoot. Cortex reluctantly comes forward with the announcement of a previously secret "genetically enhanced superweapon of unbelievable strength", but reveals that it is missing a power source. Uka Uka then suggests using the Elementals, a group of renegade masks who had elemental power over earth, water, fire and air, and were used to ravage the globe. The Elementals causedearthquakes,floods,and anIce Agemany centuries ago until they were imprisoned by the ancients with the aid of special Crystals that put the masks in a state of hibernation.[13]Cortex deduces that if they awaken the Elementals and harness their destructive power, they can bring his secret weapon to life and eliminate Crash Bandicoot forever.

Back on Earth, the world is suddenly terrorized by severe natural disasters, leading Aku Aku to realize that Uka Uka has released the Elementals. Aku Aku returns to Crash and Coco Bandicoot and alerts them of the current situation, disclosing that the only way to stop the Elementals is to imprison them once more with the Crystals, which have been scattered across the Earth. Using Coco's new Virtual Reality Hub System, Crash and Coco travel the world and gather the Crystals, fending off attacks from Cortex's superweapon, Crunch Bandicoot, and the Elementals along the way. However, by the time the Crystals have been gathered and the Elementals have been put in their hibernation state, Crunch's elemental powers have reached maximum capacity, forcing Crash to battle Crunch at full power in Cortex's space station. However, despite this, Crash defeats Crunch, which releases him from Cortex's control. Infuriated by this failure, Uka Uka attacks Cortex with a fireball, only to have it hit a vital part of the space station, which causes a chain reaction that results in the space station's self-destruction. Crash, Aku Aku, and Crunch escape and return to the Bandicoot home on Coco's space fighter ship, while Cortex and Uka Uka deploy anescape podand end up landing somewhere inAntarctica,where Uka Uka furiously chases Cortex around a small ice floe.

Development

edit
The game was originally intended to be designed byMark Cernyas afree-roaminggame

The Wrath of Cortexwas originally intended to be designed byMark Cerny,who had designed all the games in the series thus far, and published bySony Computer Entertainment.[14]The game under Cerny's direction was to be afree-roamingtitle with puzzle elements that would see Crash travelling between different planets.[15]In early 2000, when Universal approached Traveller's Tales to be the development team behind the game, they produced a 3-D rendered demo of Crash running through a volcanic level.[16]Development of the game's engine began in mid-2000.[17]It was originally titledCrash Bandicoot Worlds.[18]

On September 21, 2000,Universal Interactive StudiosandKonamiannounced that they had entered an agreement that would enable Konami to publish aCrash Bandicootgame fornext-generation game systems,with Universal Interactive handling the production of the games. The agreement served to break theCrash Bandicootfranchise's exclusivity to Sony-produced consoles and effectively made Crash Bandicoot a mascot character for Universal rather than Sony.[19]After Universal fell out with Cerny and Sony, Traveller's Tales was forced to alter the game from a free-roaming title to a standardCrashtitle. Traveller's Tales had to begin development of the game from scratch and were given only twelve months to complete the game.[14]

The characterCrunch Bandicootwas designed by Craig Whittle of Traveller's Tales and Sean Krankel of Universal.[20]The concept of battling mini- Boss es within the game's levels was dropped to uphold the fast and frantic pace of the series' gameplay. Multiplayer capability was also considered before being dropped.[21]An earlier draft of the story featured an alternate version of the game's climax and ending, which involved Crash battling Crunch in a mechanical robot suit. At the end of the fight, Crunch would destroy Crash's suit with a bolt of electricity. The resulting debris would render Cortex unconscious, destroy the remote control device controlling Crunch and start an electrical fire in the space station. As the Bandicoots escape to resume their beach-going vacation, the ruins of the space station would crash-land onto the island of Cortex's original settlement, conveniently allowing Cortex and Uka Uka to resume their world domination bids.[22]

The majority of the characters and vehicles in the game were built and textured by Nicola Daly[23]and animated by Jeremy Pardon.[17]The main game systems and game code as a whole were coded by John Hodskinson.[24]The game's music is composed by Andy Blythe and Marten Joustra of Swallow Studios. A rearranged version of the originalCrash Bandicoottheme byMutato Muzika'sJosh Mancellalso appears in the game. The game's sound effects were created by Ron Horwitz, Tom Jaeger, John Robinson, and Harry Woolway of Universal Sound Studios. The game's voice actors were cast and directed by Margaret Tang with dialog editing fromRik Schaffer.Clancy Brownvoices the dual role of Doctor Neo Cortex and Uka Uka, whileMel Winklerprovides the voice of Aku Aku, andDebi Derryberryprovides the voice of Coco Bandicoot.Corey Burtonvoices the returning villains Doctor N. Gin and Doctor Nefarious Tropy.Kevin Michael Richardsonprovides the voice of new character Crunch Bandicoot, while the Elementals, consisting of Rok-Ko, Wa-Wa, Py-Ro, and Lo-Lo, are voiced byThomas F. Wilson,R. Lee Ermey,Mark Hamill,andJess Harnellrespectively.[20]

Reception

edit

The Wrath of Cortexreceived "mixed or average" reviews on all platforms, according toreview aggregatorMetacritic.[36][35][34]Reviewers felt that the game was a non-challenging repetition of the formula set by the previous games, with Ben Kosmina of Nintendo World Report summarizing the game's structure as "a carbon copy ofCrash 3".[c]Louis Bedigian of GameZone, however, declaredWrath of Cortexto be better than the preceding games, as well as the hardest game in the series, and welcomed the new levels, abilities and vehicles.[50]The Atlasphere levels were positively received and commonly compared toMarble Madness,with Bedigian remarking that "Traveller's Tales could develop a whole game based on the sphere levels alone".[d]The game's fixed camera angles and limited perspectives were said to result in frustrating trial-and-error gameplay.[e]Bedigian and Mike Sabine ofPlanetXboxfound the controls to be sluggish.[48][50]Sabine and Kosmina criticized Coco Bandicoot as an unnecessary inclusion that was harder to control than Crash.[48][56]Hilary Goldstein of IGN went into further detail, dismissing Coco as "a less powerful and less enjoyable playable character" and saying "She's just not fun the way Crash is. Crash is a silly creature to look at. He's almost absurd, which works great with his various animations. Coco isn't really silly at all. The game isn't calledCrash and Cocoso why must I be forced to play her? Rather than add variety, Coco detracts from the only real selling point of the game -- Crash Bandicoot ".[54]Star Dingo ofGameProcalled the underwater levels "insidious" and suggested they be "used as an example in classes on how not to make a 2D shooter".[43]Kosmina appreciated the GameCube version'sGameCube – Game Boy Advance link cablesupport through the Crash Blast minigame.[56]The long loading times in the PS2 version were widely criticized, and their reduction in the Xbox and GameCube versions was welcomed.[f]

The graphics were positively received for their rich colour palette and increased definition and special effects from the previous games, but were generally seen as less impressive than those of competing games on their respective systems.[g]The Xbox version was noted to have enhanced fur, lighting and particle effects compared to the PS2 version.[39][40][48][51]Star Dingo also commented on the Xbox version's improved visuals, but considered the fur effects to be "creepy".[43]Bedigian, while impressed by the graphics and effects, acknowledged that the visual style was conservative.[50]Lafferty pointed out that the environments were less defined and detailed than other GameCube titles.[49]Casamassina said that the presentation was sterile, elaborating that the environments lacked roundness and that the architecture felt empty.[52]Goldstein was relieved by the reduction of slowdown and stuttering in the Xbox version and lauded the visuals as having the best use of colour on the system, but dismissed the enemy design as bland.[54]Shane Satterfield ofGameSpotsingled out the game's underwater scenes as impressive.[45][46]Matthew Gallant, also of GameSpot, and Andrei Alupului ofPlanetPS2deemed the graphics to be average, and Gallant was particularly disappointed with the opening sequence, which "has Crash water-skiing across a flat blue-and-white surface that approximates water much the same way" 3 "approximates pi".[44][47]Randy Nelson ofPlayStation: The Official Magazineconsidered the game to be "one of the best-looking titles on PS2 at the moment", but found the levels to be sparsely populated as a result of their increased width.[57]The GameCube version was observed to suffer from framerate drops.[41][44][52][56]

Sabine complimented the game's "quirky and playful" music as "fresh and lively".[48]Bedigian was annoyed by Crash's voice, and considered "less than half" of the game's soundtrack to be worth listening to.[50]Kosmina commended the audio as well done, and singled out the voice-acting for Cortex as "great", but criticized the poor looping of the music.[56]Perry summed up the audio as familiar "thumpingconga"music and" cartoony "sound effects.[53]Lafferty described the audio as "fun, with a solid soundtrack and over-acted vocal characterizations".[49]McElfish felt that the music was "consistently fresh and memorable" and the voice-overs were believable, but the sound effects were bland.[51]Casamassina described the music as "well composed and catchy, with enough variation to keep you tapping your feet without realizing it", but criticized the voice-acting, which he felt was overdone and made some of the characters come off as annoying, and lamented the GameCube version's lack ofDolby Pro Logicsupport.[52]Goldstein, while saying the audio was good in its own right, derided the Xbox version's surround sound mi xing as sloppy.[54]Gallant also criticized the sound mi xing, and complained of a "loud, unidentifiable thunking noise" throughout the first vehicle-based level in the GameCube version.[44]Alupului dismissed the music as "cheesy standard-fare cartoon stuff that sounds like it's done in primitive MIDI", and considered the voice-acting to be poor.[47]Star Dingo described the music as "cool" and "rhythm-happy" and the celebrity voice-overs for the villains as "droll", but said the sound effects were uninspired.[42][43]Kilo Watt, also ofGamePro,said that the game's "bouncy" soundtrack was pleasant, but nothing new for the series.[41]Mark Hamill's presence in the voice cast was noticed, with Alupului, despite not being aStar Warsfan, feeling sorrow for Hamill having been "relegated to doing voice work for mediocre video games".[42][47][51]
