Scenario

After the Stopwatch Tornado was destroyed, Cortex and Tropy are transformed into babies then sent at the time of the dinosaurs with Uka following a bug in the Stopwatch Tornado which has it autodétruite. Without its capacities, Tropy cannot make teleportation any more about another time but there remains still NR. Gin. This one rebuilt the Stopwatch Tornado and brings back the three malicious ones in the present to their age of the present. Having retained the lesson as what the Stopwatch Tornado would not be an good idea to fight Bandicoots, they build a space station in the shape of tornado time to imagine a plan. They test of it an unknown which will fail and put Uka in a black anger. During the meeting aucours whose Uka thunders them, Tropy and NR. Gin recall Cortex that he had spoken about a secret super weapon on which he worked day and night since the last time that Crash had beaten it: Crunch Bandicoot. Crunch is a super bandicoot that Cortex conceived starting from the DNA of Crash landing that it had taken to him during the unknown confrontation. Although it is very powerful, it misses a souce energy. Uka thinks then of the Masks of the elements. These masks formerly had summers frozen by Aku when they had destroyed his/her friends because of the treason of Uka. Side of Crash landing this one made water skiing when that there were a storm, an eruption, a seism and a tsunami with NR. Sanity. Aku knows that Uka is behind all that. It will see it and discovers that it defrosted the Masks of the elements. It in informed at once Crash landing and Coconut which has just finished a room of virtual teleportation. From there, they will pouront to find the crystals scattered through time and space. But they enters suddenly in communication with Cortex which presents Crunch to them, their new enemy.

Opinion on the version

  • Change of owner, change of technology : la Vengeance on Cortex is 1st opus on console of sixth generation. From there, all the plays were published by Vivendi Universal Games, and either by the founder: Naughty Dog .
  • even linear mode : The choice taken for this opus was to preserve the " mode; linéaire" (a succession of obstacles and enemies to be faced) which made its success, and not a mode 3D (which replaces the linear obstacles of the levels by vast worlds where it is possible to achieve many missions, different from/to each other, stressing mainly on exploration. This mode made the success of Spyro the Dragon of Insomniac Games or Super Mario 64)
  • time of loadings : over PS2, times of too long loadings (inherited the PS1, and technology CD/DVD) are aggravating. In the version for PS2, they are crippling and harm the jouability.
  • During this time, Naughty Dog : the studio of creative development of the series " crash landing bandicoot" created at the same moment Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy, which makes transparent times of loadings (via small sequence kinematics) and which inaugurate a nonlinear mode 3D based on a new engine (re-used by Insomniac Games for Ratchet & Clank).
