The Story
After N.Brio shot down the Cortex Vortex in crash bandicoot 2, pieces of
this machine fell everywhere. Unfortunately, one piece managed to release
Uka Uka, the evil twin brother of Aku Aku. Uka Uka then meets up with
Cortex at N.Tropy's time twister machine, which he states that he is
furious with him of failing him. Uka Uka: "No one dares fail the great Uka
Uka even once! But you Cortex... you have failed me... TWICE! But, since
you're bumbling has managed to set me free, I am feeling... generous." He
then gives Cortex one more chance and says that using the machine that can
travel back and forward in time, they can gather the crystals and the gems
and take over planet Earth!
Meanwhile, Aku Aku says to Crash and Coco that he locked Uka Uka there to
protect the earth from destruction and: Aku Aku: now.. free once again.
He. Must. Be. Stopped!" He then takes them to the time twister machine and
tells Crash and Coco to collect the crystals from the levels by: Aku Aku:
"To open a warp portal, simply stand on a button and then jump into the
portal. Good Luck" before Cortex and Uka Uka do.
About The Game
Crash Bandicoot 3 Warped is the third game in the crash
series and the last in the original trilogy. The game was developed by
Naughty Dog
and published by
Sony computer entertainment
like previous games, and was released in 1998 (and re-released on the
Playstation network in 2008). Crash 3 is generally considered to be the
best crash game on the PS1, as it built on
Crash bandicoot 2's strengths and added new features to the already
successful formula. The majority of the new features are also used in sequels after this game. In Crash Bandicoot 3, the way the levels are organized is very
similar to Crash 2. There is 5 warp rooms (plus a secret one) with 5
levels and a boss level each, where you can access any of the 5 levels. But instead of going up and down between warp rooms, the
levels are now on one floor.
There is also a secret warp room which is activated by collecting 5
relics per level. (see below for items)
The level themes are based on different time zones from the
Prehistoric period to the
Medieval times, right through to the Future. Other level themes
include the great wall of china, Arabian, Ancient Egypt, World War 1,
the 1930's Bike racing and Atlantis.
But an electric barrier gains unaccess to the levels, so you still have to
defeat the bosses, which leads me neatly onto the....
...characters.
Like Crash
Bandicoot 2, there are some new characters added to this game, which some
are important characters for future games. The new characters in this game
are:
Uka Uka, Dr. N. Tropy, Dingodile,
Pura and Fake Crash**Gameplay
has also improved in this game, with notably the first time you can play
Coco, new vehicles and more stuff. This game has loads more
vehicles for Crash (and Coco in certain levels) to play with. Crash can
ride a motorbike, a jet submarine, a baby T-rex and a bi-plane. Coco also
has a fair amount of Vehicles as well. Coco can ride a jet-ski, a
little tiger called Pura (similar to crash's polar bear in crash 2), a
bi-plane and a space fighter against N.gin. You also for two levels of the
game, run away from a Triceratops, similar to the boulder levels in the
previous games.In Crash 2, the great thing was there
were many moves you could perform with crash, which made the gameplay fun.
Well, crash's moves have been improved further because of the addition of
super powers. These Super powers, power up an exciting move or gives
crash (and coco) extra moves. You win these after you defeat each
boss. These powers will improve his body slam, jump, spin attack and
running. You can also obtain a fruit bazooka which has unlimited ammo.The game's items are very similar to the last game's, except the new
items are major. The first item is super powers (mentioned above) and the second
new item is relics, after you have collected a crystal
in a level, then a stopwatch will appear. You need to race through the
level to collect a relic. Both of these items improve the game
enormously.

Boss 1 - Tiny TigerTo defeat this boss, you must run away
from tiny before he squashes you. Then, when he gets his fork stuck (1),
spin him and tiny will lose a hit point. Avoid the lions (they can be
spun) and repeat the process two more times.
Boss 2 - DingodileDingodile will start by spitting
fireballs into the air. Run round the arena (1) to avoid them. Dingodile
will then use his flameflower (2) to roast crash. Keep avoiding these
bursts until there is a big enough gap to spin Dingodile. Stand back and
he will lose a bar of health. Repeat.
Boss 3 - N.TropyTo win this boss, you need to avoid N.tropy
laser blasts and then jump over the psychic wave things. (lol). When he is
tired, hop over the platforms and spin him and he will lose a life. Repeat 2
more times.
Boss 5 - Doctor Neo CortexFor this boss, Avoid the
attacks that Aku Uka and Uka Uka fire out - a laser, a spinning tornado and
charge blast and avoid Cortex's laser blasts. Then spin him when his shield
goes down. Then spin him down the hole that opens up in the middle of the
room, three times.
Boss 4 - N.GinTo defeat N.Gin, fire at the various
weapons on the ship, until they blow up. Always destroy
the most nasty weapons first before they do real damage and shoot any stray
missiles that get in the way. Repeat 14 times!
Coloured Gem
Locations
Yellow GemTo collect the yellow gem, you need
to collect 10 relics, and go the secret warp room. From there just
complete the death route and collect your prize.
Red GemTo collect the Red Gem, enter level 12 and
go right to end of the level, and hit the switch crate. Then go about the
middle of the level and activate the TNT crate. Survive the death route to
bag yourself 2 gems.
Purple GemYou will find the
Purple gem in level 13: High Time. Find the death route platform half way
through the level and then survive it to collect the gem.
Blue GemThe Blue gem is in level
20 - Tomb Wader in the forth warp room. Get to the death route platform and
complete it.
Green GemThe gem is in level
23. Get to the death route platform and complete it.
Crash
and Coco have collected all the gems and all the crystals. They then
challenge cortex and Uka Uka to a final battle. After a long hard
battle, Crash and Aku Aku win. They then escape back to their home by
using the time vortex. Meanwhile however, the time twister machine
starts to get unstable and starts to explode. Unfortunately, Cortex and
Uka Uka get sent through time to the early prehistoric era. But during
this process cortex and N.Tropy turn into Babies!
My Review
Graphics 90% - Not much
of an improvement from Crash 2, but still looks great for a ps1 title.
Sound 88% - As like crash 2, the boys over at Mutato Muika have
done a great job once again with the soundtrack
Gameplay 96% - With all the features of Crash 2, crash 3 gives
the game two more gameplay upgrades - superpowers (which improves some
of crash's moves) and time trail mode. (complete a level as fast as
possible)
Lifespan 95% - The time trails add to the lifespan hugely, but
the secret warps have been removed, so the score is the same.
With all the features of Crash 2 plus some new gameplay features,
Crash 3 is defiantly just as fun, maybe the best in the trilogy. 96%
