Advantages: better graphics, Improved gameplay, more items to collect, better levels

Disadvantages: none

This game is the sequel to the original and hugely succesfull crash bandicoot game. This game has better level's and slightly better graphics.

This is my 3rd favorite crash bandicoot game behind crash team racing and crash bandicoot 3 warped. This game is great fun and is the perfect game to dig out on a boring uneventful day.

The game starts right at the end of the first game with a cutscene of cortex falling at the last boss of the first game. Cortex later crashes through into a cave full of crystals and then the game zooms to 2 years later.

The game starts by introducing crash's sister coco who is not playable in this game. She asks crash to fetch a battery for her laptop. Now you take control of crash and run through a jungle until cortex teleports you to a warp room. Then a hologram of him appears asking you to help him save the world by gathering all of the crystals for him.

This game has better gameplay then the first game as the levels are much more interesting and better designed and there are 30 levels in total including the hidden warproom. There are also much more things to collect in this game. There are now crystals and gems and also coloured gems.

There are varied level types i this game such as levels where you are running from boulders/polar bears where you character is running towards the camera. There are also levels whre you are riding a polar bear and even flying through a space station on a jet pack.

Summary: one of the best games in the series.
