Its Crash 3 but with more gimmick levels and less platforming ones

>>382335752
this, you control the character more or like the same way and the moveset is also the same, but the games have been improving since the first one up until 3 a lot.

>>382335640
I wish Coco from N Sanity trilogy was like the one from this game

And I'd be willing to bet that is because you played all 4 games in an emulator and wasn't actually around to see them "come out".

>>382335640
Every previous Crash game brought many new things to the table, but WoC was just a watered down Crash 3 clone with slightly better (but weird as hell) graphics and looooong ass load times.

Credit where credit is due for trying, but fuckall if this game didn't show the quality of naughty dog over the competitors capabilities.

Crash 1 was absolutely panned by game magazines, they all shat on it.
Youd know this if you werent underage.

>>382336971
I want CTR fags to die. I like this game but people are going full autism mode in Crash threads every fucking time.

>>382337578
No, they didn't. They said it was pretty good, but inferior to Super Mario 64 (they took every opportunity to suck Nintendo's dick). SM64 is trash, fite me Nintenbros

>>382335841

it was very similar to warped except you had to wait 20 minutes for one level to load

>who fucking cares about VIDEOGAMES
Fuck off to /b/.

>>382335640
way too many distractions from the main gameplay. Every world has like, 2 normal levels tops. Just felt like a game of strung together weird gimmicks

Admittedly I haven't played Crash 3 so I don't know what the balance is like in that game.

>>382335752
That and wrath of cortex is pretty much a shittier crash 3, not crash 1.

>>382336796
>released on a new generation of hardware, yet looks on par to the PS1 games
On various ways crash 4/wrath of cortex looks even worse than the ps1 games.

Animations are awful and most of the models are much less expressive.

>>382338023
Crash 3 only has like two Pura riding levels, three waterbike stages (one is in the secret hub), three racing stages (one is in the secret hub again) and two or three plane stages. I don't like it that much compared to Crash 1 and 2 due to all of this, but it's much better than WoC.

>>382338407
It actually has four jet ski levels and four racing levels

>>382335640
Wrath of cortex was not only a step back next to the other Crash games, as it was uglier and many of the vehicles were somehow worse, but also looked ancient next to the looming platformers like Sly Cooper, ratchet and clank and Jak and Daxter (especially Jak, which only came out like a month later).

>>382337786
I didn't like SM64 either, I still don't, but it is pretty good for what it aims to be.

I played this game and it was trash, Naughty Dog Crash games are the only good Crash games.

I like Crash Bash aswell but let's face it, if you take out the nostalgia goggles it's pretty bad aswell.

>>382339504
>Not knowing about based Twinsanity
You need to play more games, scrub

>>382335640
Well the game had super frame rate issues, terrible loading times that overclock Sonic 06, Glitches just as bad as that Spyro game of the same year. I mean there's a reason why its trash.

>>382339567
Twinsanity could have been good, but unfortunately, thanks to Vivendi and Activision jewery, it got butchered.

>>382339567
There's nothing based about Twinsanity, it's a mediocre game at best.

>>382339695
shit taste detected

>b-b-but muh Naughty Dog

>>382335640
play crash 3, then play jak and daxter and you'll understand why.

The art style looked dull and lifeless compared to 3, the music was irritating and looped awkwardly and the controls were floaty as fuck.

meanwhile jak and daxter used a nearly identical moveset, felt vibrant, had great music and added powerups with levels that felt much more open.

All Crash games are trash.

>The Road to Nowhere
>The High Road

who thought these levels were a good idea, they annoy me to no end

Wrath of Cortex wasn't polished at all and felt like an inferior copy of 3. It also increased the amount of gimmick levels and had atrocious loadtimes/fps drops depending on the system you played on.

Why?

>>382340191
whats wrong with it? those levels are my favorite gimmick levels from any crash games

>>382335640
Why did they decide to make Crunch the boss of every world? Why was it a copy of Warped with the same kind of levels that didn't take advantage of the elemental stuff?

>>382340080
This so much, Jak was a much better series at that point, no reason to touch the PS2 Crash games when you had the Jak trilogy.

>>382340191
What was with the trend of Atlaspheres in games? I remember an Xbox game that had a guy in one on the cover.

>>382339504
It was a lot of fun with friends, which is what Crash Bash was meant to be, but it's true it's not the greatest.

For me wrath of cortex was the last good game of crash

Reminder that only SEVEN (7) out of WoC's twenty-five main levels did not involve vehicle gimmicks, & that one of those was a Coco level & therefore automatically shit

I'm right with you on this, but fun fact, it's fixed on the greatest hits version as well as Xbox/Gamecube

Them changing nothing isn't the complaint, you inbred.

It's that the controls are awful whereas in 1-3 they're excellent this making it a good game

It's the same game as Crash 3 with all the good parts made not as good and the bad parts made even worse. Wrapped in a a really ugly art direction that makes it look worse than the PS1 games

>>382342353
To be honest, let's be real here: if the castle level was the Cortex Castle from Crash 1, all run-down and overgrown with plants to make it more Earth-themed, nobody would complain about it being out of place

>>382335640

>barely changed anything

You didn't play Wrath Of Cortex did you? You want a nonshit post PS1 Crash? Play Twinsantiy.

Travelers Tales knew what they were doing but Activision jewwery rushed the game out. You can tell because there is a shitton of concept unlockables showing this.

>>382337737
Ctr is just a superior Kart racer man. It retains the hectic gameplay of Mario Kart. Yet rewards actual skill instead of that Pussy ass rubber band AI bullshit designed for kids and normies

You know, it seems like 90% of the criticism leveled against Wrath of Cortex can be addressed simply with: git gud.

>>382357380
IDK, it's not particularly hard and I found it sorta fun (especially compared to the console games that came after it, but that's not saying much.)

But it has long loading times, there's more gimmick levels than Warped yet they're not as well designed, and the graphical artstyle looks kinda ass. Cortex in particular looks like a fucking McDonalds toy. I thought the concept of there being more magic masks could have been interesting, but they used that to make every boss the same fucking guy five times. The way they Coco played was horrendous. For the most part it was a lower quality Warped.

>>382337906

Twinsanity was the weird rolling ball one right?

The only thing I remember about Crash 4 is the ATROCIOUS LOADING TIMES

>>382358651
The "weird rolling ball" is in Wrath. But in Twinsanity Crash and Cortex are usually fighting in a ball in a Looney Toons-like fashion
