Review / Description: Thanks to Crash, the evil Doctor Cortex finds himself hurtling towards earth at terminal velocity, his maniacal bid for world domination thwarted. But as it turns out, the worlds problems are only just beginning. Cortex awakens to find himself in a dark cavern filled with glowing crystals. Convinced that they hold tremendous power, he retrieves one and crawls back to his laboratory to examine it. The crystal leads him to a terrible discovery. Soon the planets will align to create a catastrophic solar flux, and only the crystals provide a means to contain this powerful force. Determined to redeem himself for his past evil deeds, Cortex sets out to develop a new crystal-powered Cortex Vortex that will capture the stellar energy and harmlessly dissipate it. He enlists the aid of his old colleague and infamous physicist, Doctor N Gin, to help him design such a device. 25 more crystals are needed to provide the necessary power matrix. Cortex knows that theres only one hero with any chance of success...Crash Bandicoot. Crash saved the planet from Cortex once before, but can he save it again, this time for Cortex himself.
