My very First game on the PS1. Played it again on the PS2 but I have to say that the PS1 was a way different experience. This Platform game went by so quickly. It had it hard times but for the most part it was pretty fast to complete. Although I'm sure if I would have actually caught all the crystals and what not then maybe it would have taken longer. I was Lazy :)
Now if you have played this game before then you already know that the main boss to beat would be Dr. Neo Cortex. Funny how he looks like a giant head walking around. Anyways, Crash has a little vendetta against Cortex, he tried to turn this sweet innocent bandicoot into a military leader....the vortex didnt like crash and rejected him so cortex chased him out of his window. Now crash get thrown onto the beach and seeks out Cortex and to save the female bandicoot, Tawna. Crash's Team consists of Crash's crazy smart sister, Coco Bandicoot. As well as this bodyguard Aku Aku. When you rescue this guy from his crates he becomes your wood shield....he just floats around you. He protects you from anything that can harm you. If you save him and rescue from his boxes enough times you get to wear him and become completely invincible. A little more about Aku Aku and Uka Uka:
don't like each other :)
They end up fighting along side crash and Neo against each other. Of course we all know who wins right? Well as long as you aren't a failure at this game....crash wins ^.^ Quick listing of all the bosses you fight in the game. We have, Papu Papu, a very fast native man, Ripper Roo, a krazed Kangaroo, Koala kong, King Kong sized Koala, Pinstripe, And finally Dr. Nitrus Brio. Honestly, The Last boss Dr. Nitrus Brio, was actually Harder than Dr. Neo Cortex. The Whole lab level was pretty difficult.
The First boss battle takes place in this little hut vs. a fat guy. His name is Papu Papu. Basically the way you beat him is by dodging his attacks and bouncing on his Head. The guy is so huge, really, its not hard to miss. The Second Fight Is against Ripper Roo, this krazed kangaroo is out of his mind! Crash somehow turns him red and beats him by making him get blown up by his own TNTs. Smart one roo! Third fight is against Koala Kong. Very big Koala! This Fuzzy creature hates you so much he throws giant rocks at you. The trick is to have him throw a rock at you, then when the rock hits the ground you have to spin and hit it back. Make sure you do it at the right time though cuz sometime it can hit the Barrels of coal and protect him. The Fourth fight is against a very trigger happy Pinstripe, now im not sure exactly what he is but he has a gun and its not fun :P The Final boss before Dr. Neo Cortex himself is Dr. Nitrus Brio. He likes to through pink bottles that blow up and green bottles that turn into gel molds that attack you. Pretty much you just have to dodge everything he throw at you until he gets impatient and drinks his potion and turns into a giant green guy. He will then continue to hit the ground and drop big slabs of rock that you use to jump on his head and beat him down!
Now the very last fight is against the big head himself. While he is flying around on his little ship thing he looks like a flying head! He shoots laser things at you and you have to dodge them and hit the green ones to hurt him. Side note: If you look at the background you see the whole island castle thing in flames..... honestly....a little bandicoot did all that? lol FTW. When you finally defeat him he pulls this hollywood dramatic falling stunt scene. And the fight is over, crash wins.
Here is a quick Video of all the boss fights. Enjoy ^.^
