User Rating: 10 | Crash Bandicoot Advance 2: Guruguru Saimin Dai Panic!? GBA
With a more well-designed gameplay control system, better story line, more interesting enemies, a much more user-friendly learning curve, and finally a more fun experience, this game was heads and tails better than it's original Game Boy Advance predecessor, making for a much better experience on the portable handheld system all the way around. The music rocks, the characters are more fleshed out and feel more 3-dimensional, the stages don't feel stale because there's a bigger and better variety of stage types, and it finally gives the Bandicoot well-deserved proof that he can be much more than a Mario clone. Crash Bandicoot can be his own character, with his own friends, with his own enemies, with his own challenges, and definitely have his own kind of fun. This time, two new enemies threaten the world in which Crash lives in. N'Tranced and N'Trophy team up in trying to take out the Bandicoot and his faithful friends, so it's up to Crash to show them why you don't mess with an animal with mad skills, such as surfing away from sharks or rolling around in a hamster ball among other things. This is the definitive Crash Bandicoot experince not just on the Game Boy Advance, but for a handheld of any system that can be wished for! This is a refreshing change of pace for anyone looking for something different from Crash's bland home console offerings. Crash Bandicoot proves that as far as gaming goes, he really does his best on the go, and he does that very well! This is a fun game that I enjoyed and I reccommend it as a valuable experience for video game players! :idea: Enough said! ;)
