CRASH BANDICOOT 2 Still Plays Like a DREAM! (Review)
318Crash Bandicoot 2 PS1 Review | Crash Bandicoot 2 Cortex Strikes Back Gameplay Review (S5 Ep.8)
Hey everyone! Welcome back to my channel. In this episode, I take on Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back for the original PlayStation—playing through every level, collecting every gem and crystal, uncovering secrets, exploiting polar bears for lives, and finding out if this really is the best Crash game ever made.
Originally developed by Naughty Dog and released in 1997, Crash 2 improved on its predecessor in nearly every way. But how does it hold up today? Join me as I revisit this platforming classic, dive into the warp room structure, laugh with Clancy Brown’s iconic Cortex performance, and talk about why this one still stands the test of time—even compared to the N. Sane Trilogy.
