Crash Bandicoot, Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back, and Crash Bandicoot: Warped are all excellent games - however, the fourth title, Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex... not so much. The game received mixed reception from fans and critics, due to its frustrating gameplay and lack of innovation. But The Wrath of Cortex doesn't have just one obvious design flaw to blame, instead a series of small issues all contribute to the disappointment in the first sequel to the Crash Bandicoot Trilogy.

You might have noticed that some of the footage looks a bit blurry. The PS2 outputs interlaced video, which causes problems when capturing the footage for use in a progressive format, like a computer monitor, phone, or any video service on the web. The deinterlacing settings I used here weren't ideal, I will try to avoid this problem in the future.
