5 Stars Yet Another Racer, but Fun!
Having tried a dozen cartoon-style racing games on many systems, I must say this title does a pretty good job of actually being fun. You start as Crash Bandicoot in an amusement park and explore on foot the different “lands” to collect items to open up tracks, vehicles, and events. While the exploring is fine, the racing itself is quite good. The three lap tracks resemble rides that match the land’s theme complete with moving scenery. Since battling is an added element to the racing, the tracks seem long and broad enough to allow for maneuvering while attacking the other racers. The Clash feature where you hit the “Y” button and merge with a nearby car is quite easy to do and a nice change to the typical race and grab the power-ups formula. You and the other racer can either drive or use a turret style gun and depending on your preference, you can switch between the two while in the heat of the race. Battle and stunt arenas are also included here to round out the number of places to race.
Humor is quite in abundance and make for funny touches. The music for one is a bit loony. Animated gags and cut scenes, especially of Crash being blown away by a cannon leaving behind a smoking pair of sneakers, are reminiscent of the Tex Avery brand of cartoon laughs. The tracks themselves are titled with names and familiar references like “Pirates of the Carburator” and the storybook-land “Happily Ever Faster”. You may, depending on your familiarity with sports commentators, recognize the Howard Cossell-like voiceover throughout the game as well.
This title makes for a really good time and if you lean towards humorous racing games completely devoid of any seriousness, you can’t go wrong.

5 Stars Fun for Hours
I am 11 and I first played this game at a friend’s house, and could not stop. I heard that it was not being made anymore. I found it used and new on amazon. it arrived two days later. it is fun for everyone in my family, me, my little sister, my mom, and my dad.
3 Stars The Wrath of Cortex could be better
I am a big Crash fan but this game wasn’t what I expected for a next-gen sequel to the other PlayStation games. The graphics are pretty bad for an Xbox or GameCube game, and the levels are just a little bigger. It doesn’t compete with other games anymore because it has stayed very much the same from the others, which were made in the ’90s, even if this has new vehicles and bosses (There is also another unlockable move, which is tip-toeing, I used it once the entire game, and I didn’t even need it). Speaking of boss battles, they were frustrating, but still quite fun. So to Crash fans, you will like how this game is more challenging than the other games, but will feel as if you’ve experienced the game before in its predecessors. However, Traveller’s Tales did good in keeping it like the other games even if that became the thing I didn’t like about it. It’s got a good price, but I think it’s only worth a rent to beat it, unless you are a “real” Crash fan and want to get 100% completion. If you’re not a Crash fan, don’t even bother with it.
5 Stars best platformer on xbox
XBOX has a lot of great games but lots of platformers are crap on xbox. lets face it thee trys lately have been awful. blinx the timesweeper whiplash zapper all that crap. thats why crash bandicoot the wrath of cortex is the best. the graphics are stunning. better than the ps2 version. basically the goal in cb woc is to go trough hublevels to get crystals. if you already played a crash bandicoot game you know the drill. there will also be timed relic challenges. and you will have to collect every box in a level to obtain a gem. once you collect every item in the game you can open up a new superworld that will give you another stage of levels. you can tell by the level layout that the developers were really using a lot of creativity. the boss battles are a nice addition. and another way cb woc towers over your mediocre platformer is the difficulty. crash has gotten signifigantly harder. remember how hard the original crash bandicoot was. well this game is even harder than that. so the difficulty is a nice change of pace for the levels. you get new veichles in the game too. a titansuit- you get acess to this veichle in- droid void crate balls of fire and cortex vortex. you also can use a jeep. youll get acess to this veichle in- jungle rumble and smokey and the bandicoot. youll also get acess to a submarine you can use it in- h20 and coral canyon. youll also get a copter pack you can use that in- farehinheit frenzy. you also get a scooter you can use that in- tsunami avalanche. you get a crash glider you use that in- tornado alley that sinking feeling crashstroids 4th boss level. and latly you a spherical moonball which you can use in- bammboozled eskimo roll medevil madness. also cb woc has shorter load times alot shorter load times than the ps2 version. overall with so many horrible platform games on the market. you should buy or at least rent this game.
5 Stars wow
