Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back

Last time we saw Crash, he'd just defeated the Evil Dr Cortex, who was left hurtling earthward at terminal velocity. In Crash Bandicoot 2, Cortex awakens, to find himself in a dark cavern filled with glowing crystals. Convinced that they hold tremendous power, he retrieves one and crawls back to his laboratory to examine it.

Cortex discovers that soon the planets will align to create a catastrophic solar flux - and only the crystals provide a means to contain this incredible force. Determined to redeem himself for his past villainy, Cortex sets out to develop a new, crystal-powered Cortex Vortex that will capture the stellar energy and harmlessly dissipate it. 25 more crystals are needed to provide the necessary power matrix. Cortex knows there's only one hero with any chance of success - Crash Bandicoot!

Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back sees Crash with more movements and animation; he skates, ducks, belly-flops, dives and skids, as well as using a jet-pack and motorised surf-board. The game structure is less linear too, with five different starting levels and greater path-deviation. Crash Bandicoot, the blunder from down under, has returned to fight another day!
