    @Arexion5293 9 років тому +152

    Wait, the music sucks? Those songs have fairly good structures, good use of instruments, harmonies, accompaniments, sound balancing, chord progression! They're not repetitive, and they have a fairly good flow to them, even if the song looping is non-existant, which leads to the bgm just going quiet before the song starts over again.
    They even fit the overall tone of the levels, since it aims for cartoonish silliness instead of any sort of seriousness. Sure, some of the midi instruments sound a bit comical, in a non-intentional way, but overall the soundtrack is rather splendid.

    • @SquareEyedJak
      @SquareEyedJak  9 років тому +17

      Arexion5293 You have a good point but A- The style isn't to my taste and B- The style doesn't really resemble any other Crash Bandicoot music :P

    • @Arexion5293
      @Arexion5293 9 років тому +9

      Square Eyed Jak
      A. Yeah, there are few songs that I don't care for either. But that doesn't stop me from appreciating the quality and the effort they put into the music.
      B. Yeah, it really doesn't, but at the same time it still sounds fitting with its constantly flowing goofy melodies. The tone and style of the songs fit rather well for this game, while they wouldn't have worked in other Crash games. At the same time the music from other Crash games wouldn't have worked here either. It's kinda weird like that.

    • @SquareEyedJak
      @SquareEyedJak  9 років тому +5

      Arexion5293 You're right but I still don't like the music. I think we'll have to agree to disagree on this one :P

    • @Arexion5293
      @Arexion5293 9 років тому +4

      Square Eyed Jak
      Sure.
      I tend to see liking something and finding something as good, as two separate opinions. This is why I can most of the time still appreciate music, even if I wouldn't neccessarily like the song. This has probably something to do with the fact that I've studied Music Theory for quite some time now.
      For example, I think Bach's songs are revolutionary and rather well made, while at the same time I despise them greatly. This is probably because I hate playing his songs on piano: I don't enjoy the melodies nor do I find them enjoyable to play.

    • @SquareEyedJak

      Soph H Finally, Someone else who likes it as much as I do. The only really bad thing about the game for me are the swimming stages and those DAMN loading screens! Other than that, it's really not THAT bad. This is also coming from someone who has played atrocities like Sonic 06 as well.

    • @banooca94
      @banooca94 8 років тому +1

      So true I never liked the water levels. I'm actually not a big fan of water levels in any game (except for mario 64) lol. But for some reason the loading screen never bothered me as a kid lol I never played sonic 06 but I've heard a lot of negative things about it xD I have played other games that are considered "bad" like simpsons skateboarding and I loved that game haha

    • @danielcastaneda1530
      @danielcastaneda1530 7 років тому +5

      I liked it too I don't even consider graphics look awful, they only look a bit different character design, the rest is like an enhanced PS1 game. Of course one of my only complains are the loading times, but I'm used to it.

      @bandicootsmwcentral2950 5 років тому +5

      The only songs that dont fit are Tornado Alley and Avalanche really.
      Still Avalanche is 80% a normal snow level before the chase in the end anyways, so it fits.
      And Solar Bowler have one of the best Crash songs ever.

  • @shnick1990
    @shnick1990 8 років тому +55

    I bought the Xbox version of this game, and it surprisingly has much faster load times compared to the PS2 version, on top of having improved graphics. The gameplay isn't much different from what I can tell, though, but how ironic is it that a non-Sony platform is the definitive way to play a Crash game?

    • @XxTheShootingStarxX

      Darius Chatman Based on some gameplay videos I've seen, the Gamecube version has the graphics of the PS2 version, but the load times of the Xbox version.

    • @colemanstraight5766
      @colemanstraight5766 8 років тому

      The GameCube version isn't very good. The graphics look awful, the loading screen just says the words loading without any animation or background, and the framerate is not only capped at 30 fps for most of the game, but often times it will go down to 10 fps and lower. (At least on my Wii, don't know if it performs better on an actual GameCube.)

    • @Sebbromlg
      @Sebbromlg 8 років тому

  • @kaickf.r.goncalves2846
    @kaickf.r.goncalves2846 8 років тому +17

    It was actually really good, people just didn't like it because it was too similar to Warped, and when they tried to innovate, people complained, and wanted the original formula back, who understands fans, anyway?

    • @kaickf.r.goncalves2846
      @kaickf.r.goncalves2846 8 років тому +2

      But the decreased loading times (and music) saves all of those problems.

  • @Manic_Panic
    @Manic_Panic 8 років тому +34

    I felt that this review was very bias, in many of the cases you don't even explain why it's bad. For example, the level design, sneaking power up, 2nd boss fight, and soundtrack. You just say it's boring or it sucks without rime or reason. You also forgot to mention that, most of the vehicle stages are half-half. Meaning that it's 50% platforming and 50% vehicle, I thought that was cool and different. Anyway, your explanation for the vehicle stages and loading screens were proper, I hated that submarine too, I could never get the relic because that thing is too slow. In the end, out of all your crash reviews, this one felt strongly bias.

    • @SquareEyedJak
      @SquareEyedJak  8 років тому +16

    The Wrath of Cortex may have it's flaws, but it was way better than It's About Time. Why was it better than It's About Time? Well, obviously, because The Wrath of Cortex wasn't as gimmicky as It's About Time! And by "Gimmicky", It's About Time has the crappy Quantum Masks, the power-ups from Warped (Except for the double jump power-up) did not make a return in It's About Time, Dingodile, Tawna and Cortex's gameplays suck, It's About Time is a copied, pasted and edited version of Warped with time travel and multi-verses, etc.. It's About Time sucks because it's not as good as The Wrath of Cortex. The Wrath of Cortex deserves a remake. Enough said. Fun facts: The Greatest Hits version of the PS2 version of The Wrath of Cortex had shorter load times.

    The soundtrack is actually really fucking good in my opinion. There are a few examples of soundtracks not fitting the level, but in a lot of cases the soundtrack perfectly fits the level. I fucking love the soundtrack. It is very atmospheric and dark. Good shit. specifically the soundtracks of the water levels, H2 Oh no, arctic antics and crate balls of fire are really fucking good. In my opinion at least. No one gives a fuck about my opinion tho, so I don't know why I wrote this comment.

    I'm actually very patient with loading times. i never complain
    The villains do look..... bad Tiny and N GIn and dingodile specifically but i had fun with this game. I as born mid 90s and loved the trilogy as a kid and when i got to play this on the gamecube i liked how even though it was a new home for crash it still played like crash.
    also Why change up teh formula so much in between 3 and 4? it worked fine so they played it safe. a questionable move but they did it as they didn't know what to do with crash yet on new consoles.
    i know its you opinion Jak but i thought this was at least a good game to introduce crash on the new console
    i'd give it an 8.
    but i still give Crash 1 8.3/10
    Crash 2 9/10
    Warped 10/10
    Who knows after The N Sane Trilogy maybe they will remake this game. Not like N Sane Trilogy but change the levels up, bring back old scraped ones and tell a similar story. the story is ok Crunch is a cool character but i think after Crash's revival we need to see Crunch again in the future

    From a theoretical point of view, the music in this game certainly doesn't 'suck'. All opinions aside, Blythe & Joustra made short, albeit complex tracks for this game.
    For example, the song used in level 19 (Coral Canyon) is in ⁵/₄ time, which is considered an odd time signature.

  • @AndreyPSMODS

    The reason that PS2 loadings are long as fuck is that they wanted to add a minigame to the loading but when they were almost done some fucko noticed that Namco had made a patent that no one could make minigames in loadings, and then they tried to remove it but the game was nearly at its release date so they just removed the basic coding of it, so they only made to fully remove it in the greatest hits version of the game so there is the explanation of the humongous loading times

  • @BladeBlur
    @BladeBlur 8 років тому +1

    I can agree with most of the criticism but, I HIGHLY disagree with the music. I think it's the second best OST after Crash 2. I don't expect dark and menacing music during Tornado Valley, it's Crash Bandicoot, it's suppose to be goofy. At least it's very memorable. Gauntlet, Wizards and Lizards and especially Gold Rush are amazing tracks.

    • @SquareEyedJak
      @SquareEyedJak  8 років тому +2

      +BladeBlurX Sorry but even a year and a half after making this I disagree. I get this a lot and it's your opinion I get that, totally fine of course, just allow me to explain myself a bit better.
      A lot of people are of the same opinion "it's Crash Bandicoot, it's supposed to be goofy" I never really understood this. Playing the originals as a kid and even still now, while Crash and some of the other characters are goofy, the overall tone and atmosphere of the levels was mostly dark and menacing in a cartooney way. The first game especially had some some really dark, sometimes intimidating music tracks like the Boulder Dash, Slippery Climb and Cave levels. In my opinion, a tornado level should be all of that, I should hear a nice bit of music but with a lot of wind noise blended in to turn a good bit of cartoon/danger type music into something quite intimidating.
      That's the point I was trying to make. Thanks for the comment :)

    • @BladeBlur
      @BladeBlur 8 років тому +2

      Fair point. I just wasn't expecting a mood whiplash of the game getting all dark after a jolly snow level. It's either you go for a more subtle darker feel like Crash 1, which works, or do the goofy route of WoC. Both work in different ways, but I guess I appreciate the game keeping its motif. Plus, Fahrenheit Frenzy is pretty "menacing" in my opinion. But oh well, to each their own. I'll just have to explain my point better in a video one day, because even though I think this game isn't as good as I liked it in my childhood, it's still not awful. Just average.

    If you're on a PS2 Slim Version and using the Greatest Hits/Platinum Version, most levels load in around 10-15 seconds. The PS2 Slim processor is slightly faster than the launch model (The Launch model is 293.3 MHz, while the PS2 Slim Processor is 299.7 MHz.) You really wouldn't think such a small increase would speed up loading times that much, but it actually does for quite a few PS2 games surprisingly...
