I understand that Radical and Sierra wanted to be innovative with the Crash franchise, but they ended up doing whatever they wanted. Turning Aku into a monkey-like mask? Mutant Titans? Psssh.
@hapygrn After the first game, executives/other people were complaining that Tawna was a figure of sex appeal, and told Naughty Dog that if they wanted to keep her in the series, they'd have to tweak her a lot to make her, as we'd say, "PG". Naughty Dog didn't want to go through the trouble of doing that, so they left her out of the series. She has never been seen as a character in the series ever since, although in the Japanese version of "Crash Boom Bang!", she finally returns as one.
Fun fact: Not only are Crash Bandicoot fans displeased how the franchise have jumped the shark since Radical Entertainment got their hands on our favourite bandicoot. Charles Zembillas, co-creator of Crash once said this: "It's like seeing your own daughter on the cover of Playboy Magazine".
my memories of my childhood=) how many times i was trying to fight this last boss!!! and when i did this i was so happy!that is amazing) my beautiful days of m childhood)) i want to bring it back guys who agree with me please like it!
I hate that my cousin destroyed my PS1 I can't play more this game one of the best in history or others like Twisted Metal *sniff* why why that happend
This song... Gives me too much memories! Also gives some creeps also... Is it posible?
Is this song, or the whole VILLAIN give lot of creeps? In the first generation there was absolutely best and becose what? There where this creepy villain! And best music's for him! He is creep, danger, and Awesome to play in Crash TwinSanty. Noughty Dog Sure knew what they greated!
NaughtyDogCortex Evil Calculating Totally Awesome with a capital AWESOME!
what more can you say about this guy.
R.I.P NaughtyDogCortex (1996-1999)
Trivia fact: Basically Neo Cortex in Wrath of Cortex or WrathCortex as I like to call him is basically an incarnation of NaughtyDogCortex, this also goes for NitroCortex as well.
decir que este uno de los mejores temas de la saga Crash bandicoot es poco! ^^
Cortex es mi personaje favorito de la saga! ademas de ser mi personaje masculino favorito en todos los videojuegos! VIVA NEO CORTEX! :D
esta cancion da emocion tristesa y miedo! te llena y a la vez te vacia... tenia como 5 años... ya se pueden imaginar como me senti al llegar ante cortex y escuchar esta cancion *------------------------------* @raullandable tienes razon! crash no es ni el 5% de lo que era D:
No se si sea el unico, pero cuando llegue esta batalla epica, la canción me dejo triste,vacio,molesto,asustado,nervioso ... eso hacia antes las sagas de crash...1,2,3 team racing y crash bash (masomenos pero bueno)... lo unicos que me llegaron a agradar algo fueron nitro kart y twinisanity (no se si asi se escribre)
Crash Bandicoot ya no es lo que era, ya no es lo que era (8) T.T
If you want to hear themes of the same kind, I compose of it regularly. I try to make musics which highlight the feelings and I have some of it which are estimated. You can already go to listen to it on my channel.
Guys how did Crash of the Titans and Mind over Mutants happen. They dont have crates, wumpa fruit or even all the combat from every other game. The first generation of Crash (1,2,3 CTR, Bash) were all great. The 2nd Gen (Wrath of Cortex, Twinsanity, Nirto kart, and CTTR) were all right. The handheld (Huge Adventure, N-Tranced, and Riptos Rage) were pretty good (besides Riptos rage, which was all right) And then the titans came in! WTF
@btsksc0976 They don't have WUMPA FRUIT?! You never did play the game, did you? You sound like you never even watched it. It has crates, Wumpa Fruit, the spin and an upgraded combat system (because, you know, 1-hit kills are 90s and 80s gameplay. Not 2000s gameplay). The Titans were a unique mechanic and it's not like Crash never used an animal or machine before (Mechabandicoot, Polar and the mech in WOC say hi). How did they happen? Because imaginative people wanted to give Crash something new.
@vgman94 i have in fact played those games in which those arnt wumpa fruit they ar those blue things i can remember wat they ar called, but yeh before those "imigative" ppl try to make a new crash game they should at least make in good
@btsksc0976 Wumpa Fruit are Health items and rarer than Mojo. That doesn't mean they don't appear. They did make it good. Adding combat, co-op and the unique ability to control cool monsters is good. You can make a good Crash game in more ways than the original formula. They imagined Crash differently, tried out new things, and if the world was more intelligent and inquisitive, they would have appreciated their innovations more. Even then, reviewers just felt it was underdeveloped, not bad.
@btsksc0976 You make it a disappointment. Before I even knew people hated it, I played the game and instinctively loved it. I had no qualms about the changes. I was just trying to have fun with a game. Why is it kids are so laid-back about games, but internet gamers are so strung-up?
@vgman94 how do i make it a disappointment, im not a developer. and kids are laid back becuz they cant realize tht the plot sucks, gameplay is crap, and crash just looks retarded
@btsksc0976 You make it a disappointment by forcing your mind to think a design change "ruins" the game. You go in thinking of nostalgia ONLY. That's not what a fan is. Kids aren't interested in plots, and neither are a lot of older games. The gameplay is perfectly fine. Combat and Titans are good additions. Crash has tattoos and a slightly different hair and fur style. Aside that, he looks mainly the same. You need to start taking your meds and relax a little. Games are for fun, not whining.
@vgman94 im not forcing my mind, im just smart enough to see tht the game sux. the different cartoon cinematic scenes were stupid. The gameplay is NOT good and besides the crappy tattoos Crash is mentally retarded in titans and MOM. also tiny tiger looks COMPLETELY different and sounds like a fag
Smart enough? This from someone who can't even spell 'sucks' right. I agree on the cartoons. They were stupid. Crash was ALWAYS mentally retarded. Sonic the Hedgehog and Spyro are examples of intelligent protagonists. Crash was never meant to be smart. Not good? If you think the Titans and combat suck, I Hope you never played any game with combat. Do you think they all suck too? Tell me why running and jumping with a few side mini games are better. Your points are all childish to say the least.
@vgman94 I actually think Titans (& MoM) would have been good, if it wasn't for those annoying newer character designs. The newer Crash design was okay to me, but all the others just weren't necessary (to say the least.) And the same applies to Spyro, but worse.
@vgman94 Okay it is the internet obviously if you were intelligient enough you would know the suck and sux are equivalent. Crash may have been stupid in the past games but Radical just expresses his stupidity in Titans and MOM, with obnoxious noises, mostly acknowledged in these games. And yes i do think that Titans suck but no i do not think combat sucks. Games like Jak and Daxter, inFAMOUS, Uncharted, Assassin's Creed, Original Crash and Spyro, Kingdom Hearts the list go's on.
@btsksc0976 I know they're equivalents. It's just the lazy kid version. The original Crash and Spyro had good combat? Are you kidding? 1-hit kills don't give you a sense of power (that's the point of combat in any game). It just moves them out of the way. Obnoxious noises? How so? Annoying, a little bit. But obnoxious is an odd choice of word. Jak, Uncharted, InFamous and the rest aside from KH don't have proper combat. Prototype, Batman, Darksiders and God of War are proper combat.
@vgman94 If you include Prototype then you should include inFamous because they are almost similar. And you are right, those games have good combat i just forgot about em, woops. But yeah his voice is annoying as shit.
@btsksc0976 It's not that annoying. Just a little childish. Prototype and InFamous are in the same genre, but very different when it comes to game mechanics, story and especially the morality system that InFamous has. The only thing they have in common is their genre and free-roam style.
I really like Cortex in Crash 1, he was actually pretty damn scary as a villain
but I also really like his persona in Twinsanity, he was hillarious~ hard to pick a favourite Cortex, it's like choosing between Satam Robotnik and Colours Eggman
Overall, I think Crash 2 and 3 had better music but for the final boss I prefer this one just cause it sounds so dark and evil. It makes you think "Oh crap this guy means business" Crash 2 his theme was pretty climatic feeling but wasn't dark feeling. Crash 3 was really catchy and distracted you from the fight.
CB 1 wasn't the first Crash game I played, so hearing his voice in this one was so...WEIRD. I found it funny, and I actually prefer this voice over his other ones.
He (Cortex) was much more devious in the first game than the latter ones. And this is probably the most evil sounding theme for a boss fight in the whole series.
I still remember fighting this boss the first time. I was like what the hell am I supposed to do? xD Also I really miss this Cortex. This theme represents what a mad scientist is supposed to be. A totally evil person who has some sort of purpose of being evil. Not like the modern fancy Cortex who is evil 'cause it's fun!
Nowadays games lost their boyishness.Not really fun,not really entertainment.Tried to play spongebob which was 3+ age and couldnt believe how hard it was.Poor games like crash i really miss you
I LOVE how dark this sounds as a final boss battle, nothing happy about it but with such power and strength it had... this is the definition OF a final boss theme.
&I agree. I could never get past that one tribal fortress-themed level as a kid. Then I misplaced the game, and now I can never say I beat Crash 1. :(
@GingaJinketsuKoushi I could never finish that level on the final island with all of the forks in the road and the green goo. I think it was called Toxic Waste? Anyway, the Fortress levels were kinda frustrating with the spinning hands, I always fall down and have to start all over again.
@Denthedragon Imagine if he retained ALL of his evilness over to Crash 2 when Clancy Brown voiced him or if Clancy voiced him in the first game. Now THAT would be a new awesome level of evil. >:D
That picture makes me kinda sad for Cortex, knowing what he's like nowadays. Makes me want to "re-invent" Cortex as a more succesful evil scientist, and less of a complete dummy.
This song tells me: I'm hardly afraid of me I'm a human and you're just a bandicoot! You can not stop me! MHUHAHAHAHAHA!!!! And then, the music of The Great Hall: You did it! You have defeated the evil! YAY! ;p
@bananacrash1 I had an old save who forgot I had, that save was the Cortex then, without knowing who he had started playing up to save, save that when I went, looking for an empty slot found the save went to ... home screen, I loaded the save, and played.
@komodojoe2 correction: This video is most popular with: People who know the best Crash has been...
Male: ALL
Female: ALL
I plan on getting fresh copies of the old Crash games somewhere so I can show my kids, should I have some, the greatness of the Golden Age of my favorite franchise ever....
@LaughTrack55 TwinSanity Still 'Looks like' the old games, just have a look at Sierra's Crash, how ugly is he! And besides, the storyline is pretty crazy.
This is the Cortex that I know. Not that little piece of crap that Sierra made. Now, personally, I liked CotT, and MoM, however, Cortex became a sniveling little pile of Naughty Dog crap. (See what i did there? :D) They NEED to bring back Cortex and his evil desires. Now. I honestly think that the Sierra Cortex is a clone, since the original Cortex was trapped inside Crash's brain at the end of Twinsanity. Naughty Dog, take my plead. Please
If you think about it, I thought Cortex's character in the first 2 Crash games proved that he could really dominate the world without the aid of a mask (Eg: Uka Uka). I still thought his ambitions in CB3 were evil, but not nearly as engaging in CB1 or 2.
If you've still haven't gotten past Sunset Vista, then you're going to despise a level on the 3rd island called Slippery Climb. That was probably the hardest level in the game for me. But yeah, Sunset Vista gave me hell when I was a kid.
Crash needs to come out of the hands of Sierra, and QUICK! He needs to get back to Sony, come back to PlayStation, and kick everyone's asses! That should be CRASH in the "Hero's On The Move" game instead of Jak!
@ShadowVortexFilms So? Platforming is basically jumping over and over. And at times it's hard and tedious (Slippery Climb, Sunset Vista). The Crystals and Gems could come back with new gameplay purposes. But just doing the same thing over and over makes for a really shallow series.
@vgman94 That's why Twinsanity existed, different to the originals, but didn't go weird (although the camera can be difficult to control at times) And then the crazed fan war started & the only ambition then by many game companies was to make MONEY & become more popular. That's what killed Crash (& most other franchises). Money, segregated fanbase, inexperience & that crazed rivalry which is getting out of control!
@SyntaxMagenta TwinSanity only had free-roaming and the Cortex gimmick (Nina was the same as Crash, with slightly different physics and a different move). Titans and MOM were the only Crash games to deviate from the same formula. Minor changes like a free-roaming aspect don't change the main character gameplay-wise. Radical, just to be clear, wasn't money-mongering. They did their best to innovate the franchise. However, segregated fanbases and companies like Activision do kill franchises.
@vgman94 You actually have a good point there. But Radical produced Titans during troubled times, probably ended up doing to Crash the same way Sega did to Sonic in 1995 & again in 2006. The fan base became stressed during changes in the console world in 95' & in 06', & started reacting badly to some of the new Sonic games. Unfortunately for Crash, Titans was produced in 2006, & not many fans could handle the console changes (like myself) in that year. At least Sonic is getting better though.
@vgman94 And concerning the fanbase segregation, you should see what happened to the MegaMan franchise. From PSP onward, Capcom tried to experiment with formulae that strayed too far from the originals, practically splitting the fanbase between JPN & USA fans. That split greatly angered the PS1 & the NES MegaMan fans. And the other Capcom franchises Resident Evil & Dino Crisis didn't fare too well. Especially RE, many fans called the 4th & 5th a disgrace to the games, (4 & 5 was more like CoD!)
@SyntaxMagenta I don't pay attention to Megaman very much. All I know is this retro-fanboy, "wii dont evr want changez!!!" stupidity spreads to almost every video game franchise and beyond. Resident Evil is alright, but I find all it's games boring. However, singling out 4 and 5 is stupid. The camera angle and a little more combat doesn't make it any less than the previous games.
@vgman94 Although in reality, you're no better than the fans who don't like the changes. Because that's how crazed fan wars are started. And once they start, they are really difficult to stop.
@SyntaxMagenta I never said I was better than them. I just think more clearly to come to my stances. How anyone can want the same game over and over and over and keep liking it for over 30 years is beyond any logic I can imagine.
@ShadowVortexFilms So? Platforming is basically jumping over and over. And at times it's hard and tedious (Slippery Climb, Sunset Vista). The Crystals and Gems could come back with new gameplay purposes. But just doing the same thing over and over makes for a really shallow series.
N. Brio: Dr Cortex, we have not determined the cause of test failures! Heh!
Cortex: MORON! This Bandicoot WILL be my general, and WILL lead my Cortex Commandos to world domination! This time, i shall raise my *something* We are closer than ever before! Quickly, into the vortex!
Brio: Dr. Cortex, the vortex is not ready! We have no idea what it could do! Hehehehe!
can't stop commenting! I just remember this theme! i forgot it for a while thinking that it was only the first part repeated, and now i hear it back in my baby days.
even though i wasn't born when it came out, i still remember this theme. I loved cortex when i was a baby and this was the first game i ever played. i feel tears coming and goosebumps. I still remember my big bro playing this and i loved hearing it when cortex kept saying 'Ha ha ha, Ha! Ha! Ha!' and i just loved it! Why did crash bandicoot change?
I'm definitely looking forward to my PS3, cause once I get it, I'm getting all 3 PSX Crash games downloaded onto it.

I still remember fighting this boss the first time. I was like what the hell am I supposed to do? xD Also I really miss this Cortex. This theme represents what a mad scientist is supposed to be. A totally evil person who has some sort of purpose of being evil. Not like the modern fancy Cortex who is evil 'cause it's fun!

@GingaJinketsuKoushi I could never finish that level on the final island with all of the forks in the road and the green goo. I think it was called Toxic Waste? Anyway, the Fortress levels were kinda frustrating with the spinning hands, I always fall down and have to start all over again.

This is the Cortex that I know. Not that little piece of crap that Sierra made. Now, personally, I liked CotT, and MoM, however, Cortex became a sniveling little pile of Naughty Dog crap. (See what i did there? :D) They NEED to bring back Cortex and his evil desires. Now. I honestly think that the Sierra Cortex is a clone, since the original Cortex was trapped inside Crash's brain at the end of Twinsanity. Naughty Dog, take my plead. Please

SonicKillsMario119 1 year ago
If you think about it, I thought Cortex's character in the first 2 Crash games proved that he could really dominate the world without the aid of a mask (Eg: Uka Uka). I still thought his ambitions in CB3 were evil, but not nearly as engaging in CB1 or 2.

If you've still haven't gotten past Sunset Vista, then you're going to despise a level on the 3rd island called Slippery Climb. That was probably the hardest level in the game for me. But yeah, Sunset Vista gave me hell when I was a kid.

@ShadowVortexFilms So? Platforming is basically jumping over and over. And at times it's hard and tedious (Slippery Climb, Sunset Vista). The Crystals and Gems could come back with new gameplay purposes. But just doing the same thing over and over makes for a really shallow series.
vgman94 1 year ago
@vgman94 That's why Twinsanity existed, different to the originals, but didn't go weird (although the camera can be difficult to control at times) And then the crazed fan war started & the only ambition then by many game companies was to make MONEY & become more popular. That's what killed Crash (& most other franchises). Money, segregated fanbase, inexperience & that crazed rivalry which is getting out of control!
SyntaxMagenta 1 month ago
@SyntaxMagenta TwinSanity only had free-roaming and the Cortex gimmick (Nina was the same as Crash, with slightly different physics and a different move). Titans and MOM were the only Crash games to deviate from the same formula. Minor changes like a free-roaming aspect don't change the main character gameplay-wise. Radical, just to be clear, wasn't money-mongering. They did their best to innovate the franchise. However, segregated fanbases and companies like Activision do kill franchises.
vgman94 1 month ago
@vgman94 You actually have a good point there. But Radical produced Titans during troubled times, probably ended up doing to Crash the same way Sega did to Sonic in 1995 & again in 2006. The fan base became stressed during changes in the console world in 95' & in 06', & started reacting badly to some of the new Sonic games. Unfortunately for Crash, Titans was produced in 2006, & not many fans could handle the console changes (like myself) in that year. At least Sonic is getting better though.
SyntaxMagenta 1 month ago
@vgman94 And concerning the fanbase segregation, you should see what happened to the MegaMan franchise. From PSP onward, Capcom tried to experiment with formulae that strayed too far from the originals, practically splitting the fanbase between JPN & USA fans. That split greatly angered the PS1 & the NES MegaMan fans. And the other Capcom franchises Resident Evil & Dino Crisis didn't fare too well. Especially RE, many fans called the 4th & 5th a disgrace to the games, (4 & 5 was more like CoD!)
SyntaxMagenta 1 month ago
@SyntaxMagenta I don't pay attention to Megaman very much. All I know is this retro-fanboy, "wii dont evr want changez!!!" stupidity spreads to almost every video game franchise and beyond. Resident Evil is alright, but I find all it's games boring. However, singling out 4 and 5 is stupid. The camera angle and a little more combat doesn't make it any less than the previous games.
vgman94 1 month ago
@vgman94 Although in reality, you're no better than the fans who don't like the changes. Because that's how crazed fan wars are started. And once they start, they are really difficult to stop.
SyntaxMagenta 1 month ago
@SyntaxMagenta I never said I was better than them. I just think more clearly to come to my stances. How anyone can want the same game over and over and over and keep liking it for over 30 years is beyond any logic I can imagine.
