Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex

Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex is the fourth mainline series game and the first to feature Crash Bandicoot on the PlayStation 2. It was later ported to the GameCube and Xbox, making it his first multiplatform appearance. The player controls Crash and his younger sister Coco, who must gather 25 crystals and defeat the main antagonists of the story, Doctor Neo Cortex and his new super weapon, Crunch Bandicoot. The story is set sometime after Crash Bandicoot: Warped. Cortex wants revenge after being defeated by Crash, so he creates Crunch, a super-bandicoot who can destroy everything in his way. Crunch is powered by a set of magical masks known as the Elementals, which each represent an element, including Earth, Water, Fire and Ice. Crash and Coco must travel the world and gather special Crystals that return the Elementals to a hibernated state. Much of the game takes place in a Virtual Reality Hub System created by Coco to help Crash gather the crystals. The gameplay is similar to the older games of the series, and it is a single-player platformer.
