  • Welcome to my Crash Bandicoot 2 Cortex Strikes Back review! It's another episode of New Game Plus! Will my Crash Bandicoot 2 review fall victim to nostalgia goggles, or with the remastered of the N Sane Trilogy help me give our favorite Pig-Mouse a new spin?

    Curious about New Game Plus and the removal of previous Completionist episodes? The answers are in my update video: • The Future Of The Comp...
    Before Uncharted, Naughty Dog created the Crash Bandicoot games. Last year we got a full HD remake of all the Crash games, included Crash Bandicoot 2: Crotex Strikes Back, as part of the N Sane Trilogy. The classic feel has been remastered in all its glory, with great visuals and memorable level design that gamers both young and old can appreciate this PS1 feel with current graphics.

    I remember when I was little, I’d sit and watch my mom play hours of crash bandicoot on the PlayStation one, and being amazed at how good she was. She legitimately was the first gamer in my life, and crash bandicoot always has a soft spot in my heart. Thank you so much for completing this game, and sending me WAYYY down memory lane c: good luck with all your future videos!!!

    When I was a kid my uncle gave my brother and I a Japanese Playstation and Japanese copy of Crash 2. Since neither of us knew Japanese at the time and never played Crash 1, we had no idea what was going on, so we legitimately thought Cortex was a good guy and was super shocked when he turned out to be the villain.
    Also, as a testament to how hard it was, my uncle was shocked to learn there was a level 2.

      Thing is, the N. Sane version of Crash 1 is superior to the original in every aspect. Plus, it includes Stormy Ascent.
      The only thing that was a downgrade was The High Road... but that's, what, one problem versus about 100 improvements?

      You know, the time trials in Crash 1 aren't actually that bad. I mean, they're still hard, but if you're brave enough you can usually dash through them with relative ease.
      Then again, I'm a guy who can get under 2 minutes 30 seconds on Stormy Ascent...

  • @diegog1853
    @diegog1853 6 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    i think this game deserves the intermediate rating between finish it and complete it (don't remember what is called). The only thing that is not worth doing and is not fun is the platinum races. I just think that a "Finish it" is a low rating since almost every game gets it :/ there are a lot of games that should be played way past the finish line but not quite completing all the absurd challenges like this one.
    Great episode as always man :D

  • @distasio09
    @distasio09 6 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    The final mix versions of Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2 need the new game plus treatment.
    Reasons:
    1. Both are available on a single PS4 disc.
    2. Additional Trophies
    3. Additional Bosses
    4. Cavern of Remembrance and Data Battles
    5. On KH2 the gummi ship wasn't given enough attention as it deserved. Each stage is much improved from the first game with 3 different modes after the initial unlocking, multiple ships to design, and even a final gummi boss. Completing that hidden gem in even the original KH2 was a blast.

  • @Clbull118
    @Clbull118 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    A few games I’d like to see Completionist episodes on:
    Sparkster: Rocket Knight Adventures II - Don’t worry, there’s no ‘Contra Mode’ to this game.
    Bubsy: The Woolies Strike Back - Unlike the past Bubsy games, this one is actually a competently made platformer. You can also turn off Bubsy’s voice acting.
    Bubsy 3D - Just because I want to see Jirard go full AVGN on the game and start smashing the disc with a claw hammer.
    Blinx The Time Sweeper - This game was fucking awesome but also quite hard.

  • @ShigKirby
    @ShigKirby 6 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    I had an absolute blast playing through the N Sane Trilogy as someone who grew up with the originals. I'm no speedrunner but the remake of Crash 2 stays true to what made the original so charming but with new small additions like Coco, time trials, the speed boots and a beautiful graphical upgrade with a nicely redone soundtrack for the most part to make you feel the magic all over again. I actually found getting Platinum Relics were a very nice challenge and made me appreciate how good the level design was aside from a small handful of levels that were crazy difficult. The mechanics and hit boxes are a little different but never to the point where it became a noticeable annoyance or frustration when you have the running boots and jump in Crash 2 where you spin and jump a little higher which I never used in the original but did in this very effectively.
    Its certainly a classic that's comforting to blast through every so often. Not to mention IMO the small quality of life tweaks to Crash 1 made for a much more enjoyable experience and they even added the cut level as a bonus which getting the relic for was the definition of a nightmare but not hard to beat normally if you have played through the game up to that point.

  • @thetickcartoon1453
    @thetickcartoon1453 6 ปีที่แล้ว +12

    I feel like Crash 1 needs recompleting, as some things are different with that game, much like how it is with both this game and Warped. It's certainly a bit easier (relics not included), and we gotta see if there's anything for completing the entire trilogy. Also, good video, keep up the good work!

    • @cd2220
      @cd2220 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I don't go back to Crash 1 much ever because while I LOVE the atmosphere, art, and style the game had, even just finishing it is really frustrating. When N. Sane Trilogy came out I 100 percented it and look forward to doing it again someday (it being the only one I haven't 100ed). The only thing I would say I liked more about the original was the music, and as with the whole N. Sane trilogy I think I like both versions of all 3 games visuals for different reasons (and again the music, though 90 percent of the time I prefer the originals soundtrack) and I'd happily play both again depending on my mood.

    I like the new opening. It's got that "retro" vibe that a lot has been banking on lately (nes and snes classic, virtual console, reproductions of games passed, reboots of movies from twenty-to-thirty years ago...) As a regular anime watcher, I am always sure to appreciate the nuances of the changes between seasons, and I like that, through your years of producing quality content, you separate each with a subtly new intro, and it speaks to me and I'm sure others like me. I've been trying to post and like more on your channel lately instead of simply watching, so I hope this doesn't seem like too much. Much Love!

    I am on board for the Dark Souls fallacy. Games that existed before Dark Souls still get defined as "The Dark Souls of -insert white noise-." The DS series is good, sure. But every game with a modicum of difficulty isn't a automatic DS review sentence.

  • @SaneGhoul
    @SaneGhoul 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great review, this game (the original) was also my intro to the series and one of my first (and only) games. I’ve played the game multiple times, and looking back at it now as an adult, I realize how ridiculously well made it was. Fun mysteries to find, nice controls, and a generally interesting experience to go through. After playing the other games, it makes me realize even more that this game does some great things. As a kid, you have no idea what will come up next or what boss you’ll face because of the way the warp rooms were designed, creating a feeling of mystery and intrigue. There were no pointless powerups at the end of each boss, you as a player needed to get better and get a firm hold of the controls, while not having to deal with new abilities that were useful for only a handful of specific instances. There were questionable level aspects like zero gravity which threw off everything you had learned until then, but they were normally in short level chunks or a small number of levels. Even so, having something new was still fun in its own way. The addition of time trials and the speed powerup to the remake are definitely dumb. Those looking to play this, I would very highly recommend playing the original PS1 version to get what is probably the best experience of Crash 2.

  • @Casketkrusher_
    @Casketkrusher_ 6 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    Best Crash game ever made. Original is still better as the remake, nostalgia probably.

  • @hereisnickscott
    @hereisnickscott 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Honestly as a hardcore fan I resent the community backlash for what is easily on of the best video game remakes we had. Sure, the pill that crash is now may cause a death or two that wouldn't happen in the original, but it's very clear that a lot of fans came back after not playing crash for years and then were shocked to realized how punishing the game design was back then when they first played it. So they find some small changes in programming (which was inevitable because there was no way for them to use the original code) and blame the game for their inability to adjust to it. This is not a badly designed game, giving crash a modern hit box and making it so that he controls the same in all 3 games while taking out a lot of unintended stuff is not bad it is common for remakes to do. I for one love this version of crash 2 just as much as the original.

    • @pokeness686
      @pokeness686 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      dascottman33 While they can be fun, the main line crash games are definitely not well designed at all. The games are difficult and unforgiving yes, but those times are rarely also fair.

    • @pokeness686
      @pokeness686 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Media I think both the old and remakes are not that great. Who the fuck thought 3D platformers using a D-pad was a good idea? Example: Super Mario 64 DS

    • @hereisnickscott
      @hereisnickscott 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Media Right because when I run across invisible walls because I can jump higher than they intended, skip the pit by jumping on the invisible walls in the first level, and fall through platforms when I clearly should have landed on it, that is clearly an example of better handling and design. Look, I love the ps1 games I really do they are wonderfully designed games ahead of their time, but they have aged a bit and platformers have long gotten rid of the floatyness of 3d platform characters and that's why n sane handles a bit more like a modern platformer. People are just ignoring the problems the originals had simply because the remakes handle slightly different. The remakes were easier because a lot of us knew how to cheat the games (except for crash 1, fuck crash 1 on ps1). I really don't get these complaints remakes are so much harder to control. crash moves fluidly and gravity effects him how you would expect it to. I can still do all the same skips in hang 8 that I used to be able to in the original for example, so I really don't feel like my controller's stiff or that he's not responding to my inputs. He always jumps when you hit jump, he always spins when you hit spin, and he slides when you hit slide. If a controller is responsive, and you can predict how far crash will go when he jumps (which you can I've tested), then the control handles fine. The rest of the nuance is really down to opinion and I highly doubt I'll change your mind, but I think "handles a lot worse" is a bit of an extreme statement for a game that only plays slightly different.
      I never made the argument that we were better as kids. I clearly stated that I worse at the classic games as a kid, and playing the n sane trilogy I personally never regressed to the level of bad I was when I was 8-12. But if you want to bring up that argument, yes kids and teens are often objectively better at video games and get worse as they get older. That is because kids often have more time to play, only play one or two games at a time and play those games for longer periods of time. This was especially true of the 90's gaming generation, who had far less distractions to focus on like a phone or the internet (mostly) so they would spend even more time playing games. Reflexes slow, and muscle memory is forgotten. Try hopping into a fighting game or any other game that requires precision that you were good at after not touching it for 6 months or more and you'll see what I mean. And when people are coming back to a game after 20 years or played it so often that they don't even remember what the first time experience was like and any slight adjustments will throw them off, I think it is fair to say that many people complaining are looking at the ps1 games with rose colored glasses. I had a slight adjustment period at first I admit, the demo in particular was worrying but they thankfully ironed most all of the kinks out in the final product. And really, I don't use TH-camrs as a judgement of a games difficulty. People often ham up their failures in videos because it is entertaining, or get distracted because they are trying to talk and play at the same time, I never experienced the 100s of deaths on the bridge levels that I've seen videos of. I didn't die at all on the first and only died 6 times on the second one. They are hard levels yes, but they were hard in the original too.

    • @hereisnickscott
      @hereisnickscott 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Spaceman Spiff Because it was one of the first 3d platformers ever? Because the levels for the most part are linear? Because at this point in gaming analog sticks were not standard and Sony only had a dpad controller at launch, when crash came out? More importantly, both 2 and 3 had analog support on the ps1 (though they were retroactively given it through greatest hits releases) and the n sane trilogy has true analog support, though some classic fans prefer d-pad anyway. I also think that the games are very well designed, levels are designed to slowly escalate, teach you 1 obstacle one at a time, then combine these obstacles at once to create more challenge. Hell, Crash 2's first levels has lines of birds that point you to important things like bonus rooms and crystals as well as putting a big circle of birds around the crystal to teach first time gamers what the objectives are without obnoxiously shoving tutorial in your face. Kinda like how super mario bros puts a goomba in your way in 1 - 1 to teach you to jump. And if you really don't get it, Cortex will scold you to grab the crystal if you miss it in the first level.

    • @pokeness686
      @pokeness686 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      dascottman33 Analog sticks not being standard when the original crash released isn't an excuse, the games are simply tedious and difficult to control with a pad. The controls available for the game when it came out were inadequate. Controls are essential to how good a platformer game is. And even if you play with a stick, many hitboxes are jank and you'll often feel like you should have landed a jump or not gotten hit (this happens in new and old) so it's not that big of a help. They're really overrated games, crash has been and always will be vastly inferior to Mario platformers. Crash is unpolished and because of the lack of polish a lot of its difficulty is artificial, born from unfairness.
      The only reason crash games have the legacy they do is because PlayStation didn't have Mario games. There weren't any other platformers on the PlayStation at the time. Due to crash being the only 3D platformer Sony had in a time where 3D platforming was new and exciting, it was destined to be overrated due to lack of competition with other platformers on PlayStation. Crash games are fun sometimes, but they have never been as good as people say.

    Long Version:
    You have to complete the Crash Bandicoot trilogy in the New Game Plus, since you are a completionist. Are you willing to risk your hard earned title by not completeing something?
    PS:
    You're awesome.
    Watching your videos made me sit down and complete some games, which I didn't really enjoy before.
    Since I'm watching you I've completed the Crash Bandicoot Trilogy
    Spyro (PS1) trilogy
    Assassin's creed up untill Black Flag

    And damn, completing games are hard. You sir, earned my respect.

    Welcome to the Platinum Club for Crash Bandicoot, Crash 2 was a fun game, crash 3 was also great as you remember it. You should absolutely get the Platinum for Crash 1 to complete the whole trilogy in Platinum. If you want more fun times Jirard, also play the DLC for Crash Bandicoot 1. That was really awesome

    @rendzkho8068 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    What makes a game "complete it" worthy?
    If the Devs gave you something for the time trails would the rating go back to "complete it" or would the reward need to be something really special?
    What makes a good remake? Didn't the changed hit boxes and physics make the experience new in a way? New players won't know the difference and old players get to relieve the glory days of getting good at something so iconic. Wasn't that what caught everyone's eye?
    I need to watch more of these videos. Always so great.😍😍😍

  • @CaptainAlgebra
    @CaptainAlgebra 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    While I agree that the new physics don't make it "dark souls hard", it is very annoying as a Crash seasoned vet. Levels that you could run through blindfolded became very aggravating. I love the graphics but I really wish they would have left the physics alone. That alone ruined the game for me and I will always play the originals over the N Sane Trilogy.

    • @HazmanFTW
      @HazmanFTW 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    One of the few, but also one of the best games I grew up with that wasn't a nintendo game, Crash 2 is amazing, I never played the first one as a kid, or the third, personally I like the second because it added the crouching and sliding, but also didn't have some of the weirder (in my opinion, of course) elements of the third game. Also one of the games I managed to 100% complete when I was younger, I honestly still enjoy playing it today. I feel some of the gems, while disgustingly hard, are easy enough that they don't make me wanna never go back through and get them again on subsequent playthroughs.

    I find it interesting that the Slide Spin Jump (Glitched High Jump, what ever it is called) is still intact in the game, while the addition of jump physics removed Neutral Slide Dash. But even that has found sort of replacement we know as Hobslide. Intended or not, this sort of speedrun tech is what keeps a game like this alive for long.

  • @TheDeathwhish
    @TheDeathwhish 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    To be fair Jirard, Super Mario 3D Land / World do follow and use to a degree the formula of the original Crash Bandicoot (Which would be the only games that I think could be compared to Crash Bandicoot). Crash Bandicoot is a mix of 2d and 3d platforming elements. Many times a 3D box design with a 2D view, and sometimes a more traditional 3D approach.
    I would love to see Crash Bandicoot Insane Trilogy on the Nintendo Switch, that would be really fun. Crash Bandicoot has been on Nintendo Platforms, it first appeared on the Gameboy Advance and I am pretty sure it also appeared on the Nintendo DS. The Nintendo Switch could be easily one of the best platforms for games like these.
    All in all, I love your videos dude, keep the great work!
