Unlike the first GBA Crash title, N-Tranced was ambitious and underrated.
It had creative level designs, new boxes and power ups, and even two player multiplayer modes. It felt like a genuine attempt to build on its franchise, unlike most watered down handheld spinoffs.

I'm going to take this opportunity to ask a Crash-related question; What's /vr/'s verdict on Wrath of Cortex on PS2?

I remember the ball-rolling segments in this game being absolutely excruciating.

I don't really think Crash works in sidescrolling 2D.

It's Crash 3.5. Not quite as charming, but it's the same shit for the most part.

Worth a play if you're absolutely desperate for more Crash

It's a really good game. It feels like a Crash game, it just doesn't have "it" like 2 and 3. But it's a nice "more Crash" basically.

The loading times on the ps2 are some of the worst I think I ever encountered though. I think it can be like 40 seconds or a minute to load into levels or cutscenes.

If you're not aware, the load times were reduced in the Greatest Hits / Platinum rereleases.

Love it. Fuck Warped. Wrath is better.

Basically Warped but worse in every way. Still ok enough, but with a host of fatal flaws.
>ridiculous loading times (worst offense by far, I couldn't even get through the game as a kid it was so bad)
>replacing the entire great cast of villains with a bland "Crash but evil," the elemental masks aren't great either
>boss fights in general are a step down, I think the water one was the only not terrible one

It's shit. It's actually impressive how they managed to make a PS2 game look worse than a PS1 game from the sa
