Quotes
[first lines]
The Great Uka Uka: Imbeciles! FOOLS! NINCOMPOOPS! Can't you idiots do ANYTHING right? According to this, your track record for spreading evil is PATHETIC!
Dr. Neo Cortex: Uka Uka, it's not our fault. That wretched bandicoot is to blame!
[a crash hologram appears]
Tiny the Tiger: Grrr...
[he swipes at the hologram]
The Great Uka Uka: I will not let anthing stand in the way of evil... ESPECIALLY not a brainless orange marsupial!Crash must be eliminated!
N. Gin: Err... Uka Uka? Need I remind you that Crash always finds a way to defeat us? Maybe he's just too good for us.
The Great Uka Uka: Enough excuses! You five idiots need to come up with one good plan... or else!
Dr. Neo Cortex: How do I get into these situations?
Dr. Nefarious Tropy: There must be something we can come up with.
[to Cortex]
Dr. Nefarious Tropy: Say Doctor, haven't you been tinkering with some new secret weapon in your laboratory?
Dr. Neo Cortex: I... don't know what you're talking about N Tropy.
N. Gin: Dr Cortex! I think he's referring to the super secret weapon you've been labouring over day and night since the last time Crash defeated you.
The Great Uka Uka: ENOUGH BICKERING! DO WE HAVE A PLAN?
Dr. Neo Cortex: Well, in my scientific endeavours, I have been able to create a genetically advanced super weapon of unbelievable strength. But the power source is the final missing crucial element.
The Great Uka Uka: Hmm... element... Element. Yes! The Elementals!
Dr. Neo Cortex: Right, the Elementals, that's it! If we unlease their destructive force, it could create enough energy to bring my super creation to life. We'd then have a weapon capable of crushing mountains, destroying entire cities...
The Great Uka Uka: And wiping Crash Bandicoot off the face of the Earth forever!
Dr. Neo Cortex: Get ready to face my wrath, Crash Bandicoot!

Good game!

Crash Bandicoot 4, the wrath of Cortex, is a game ported for playstation 2, Gamecube and XBOX, released in 2001, by traveler's tales. The first factor that stands out in this game is the generation gap, for obvious reasons. However, that does not take away from the game its problems with the quality of the graphics... This point is based on the character designs, because these are really bad... However, I must say that the scenarios look really good.

Let's go with the gameplay. Crash Bandicoot 4 has a huge variety of levels. I know this may sound positive, and in part it is. The problem with these levels is mainly the controls. The levels that present these problems are those of water. Except for that, most of the levels are enjoyable, especially the ball ones.

The last point I want to expose is the musical section... And it's great! Many people have problems with this, and I understand why, which is why this point is based on my opinion. This game provides us with electronic music, which makes sense when seeing what time it was released.

Conclusion: This game is highly underrated by critics. The problems that I can see are its OBVIOUS inspiration to Crash Bandicoot 3, the character design and the aquatic levels. Therefore, this one gets an 8/10. Thank you for taking the time to read to the end.
