Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex

Cortex wants revenge after being defeated by Crash (again).

For this purpose, he creates Crunch, a super-bandicoot who can destroy everything that crosses his way.

Crunch's power source is a set of magical masks known as the Elementals, each representing a different element, including Earth, Water, Fire, and Ice.

The warp room splits levels into their respective elements, with the boss of each section being a battle against Crunch influenced by the Elemental mask of said section.

The game is a typical jump and run, with some other action passages, like air combat and a sequence where Crash is trapped inside a giant sphere rolling around in some sort of rollercoaster.

All graphics are in 3D, and the sound is typical for cartoon games like this.

The whole game is pretty straightforward in design, getting stuck on a puzzle is not really possible.

Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex for PlayStation 2 is currently worth €11.41 loose, €9.41 complete in box, and €41.51 factory sealed. Prices are based on real sales and update regularly on Gamevaro.

Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning it trades hands regularly and isn't considered particularly rare.

Loose means cartridge or disc only, CIB (complete in box) includes the original box and manual, and sealed means factory-sealed and never opened. For Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex, loose is €11.41 and CIB is €9.41 — CIB commands a premium because original boxes and manuals are fragile and often don't survive.

The PAL version of Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex is currently worth €11.41 loose, versus €10.53 for NTSC-U. Regional price differences usually come down to print run size and regional collector demand.
