Game: Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back
System: Playstation
Version: (US)

This is a longplay of the game Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back, an action-platformer developed by Naughty Dog and published by Sony Computer Entertainment, released in 1997 for the PlayStation.

This game is a direct sequel to the first game. Its story takes place after the events of the first game. Crash Bandicoot causes Doctor Neo Cortex to fall from his airship into a cave full of glowing crystals. Convinced that they possess tremendous power, he takes one and returns to his laboratory. A year later, Cortex and his new assistant, Dr. N. Gin, rebuild an updated, crystal-powered Cortex Vortex in outer space; N. Gin says they need 25 more crystals to reach the Vortex's maximum capacity and have none of their operatives left on Earth. Cortex then devises a plan to manipulate Crash into retrieving the crystals for him.

Meanwhile, Crash's younger sister, Coco, asks him to retrieve a new battery for her laptop, so Crash sets off into the forest in search of the battery, but is kidnapped in the process, as at a certain point in his walk (which is a level controlled by the player if they watch the game's opening to the end), he is abducted by Cortex. In an ancient Warp Room that provides access to various locations around the world, Crash communicates with Cortex through his holographic projection. Cortex tells Crash that he has discovered the upcoming planetary alignment will create a solar surge capable of catastrophic proportions and urges Crash to retrieve pink power crystals through each of the room's doors to help Cortex harness the crystal's energy to dissipate the enormous power unleashed. Unbeknownst to Cortex, his former assistant Dr. Nitrus Brio also appears in hologram form and tells Crash that scattered throughout the world are various clear and colored gems (diamonds) that serve as an alternative form of energy that Brio is planning to use against Cortex. However, Brio also warns Crash that he will use his forces to prevent Crash from collecting more crystals. As such, while collecting crystals, Crash battles Brio's mutant allies: the demented Ripper Roo, the scimitar-wielding Komodo Brothers, and the ravenous Tiny Tiger.

In this game, Crash needs to access portals that lead to the levels and collect gems, as well as various bonuses. To do this, he will need to find the gems, in addition to destroying boxes in the levels. Besides the classic TNT boxes, new traps have been introduced, such as Nitro boxes, which can cause damage with the slightest touch. Crash also has new moves, such as the slide, which combined with the jump gives Crash a higher jump and combined with the spin attack guarantees more agility.

Cortex Strikes Back received positive reviews from critics and is widely considered superior to its predecessor. Many of the praises were for the game's graphics, controls, and music, while criticisms focused on the trial-and-error gameplay, lack of level variety, easy boss levels, and lack of innovation as a platformer. In my opinion, a game far superior to the first in every aspect. The video was 100% made.

I hope you enjoy it.
