C Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex, the first PlayStation2
installment in the C Bandicoot series, delivers the same mix
of intuitive gameplay and elaborate adventure that fans have come
to expect, offering 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 energize 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 a new character that 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 minibosses 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 environments and
characters like never before.

Review
------
C Bandicoot is a bargain-basement Taz, a capering,
rolling-eyed, dingolike creature. In the few years prior to this
game (his PS2 debut), C appeared in various PS One
titles--usually wannabe Mario platformers, but also the blatant
Mario Party and Mario Kart rip-offs C Bash (
/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00004U4R8/${0} ) and C Team Racing (
/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000034DCF/${0} ).
Never less than fun, yet never a realistic contender when
compared to 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, Travelers Tales has created this effort, and in terms of
gameplay, there's no progression here whatsoever. This is the
C we know and tolerate, albeit with fancier lighting effects.
All the familiar faces return, including (obviously, given the
title) arch-goon Dr. Cortex.
And it's great, as far 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 à la Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom,
hysterically playable Marble Madness-style levels, and secrets,
bonuses, vehicles, and new moves. When you add up all the pluses
(simple to pick up and play, colorful, loud, and funny), it would
be a hard heart that didn't warm to this old coot. --Steve Colton
