About This Game
Set some time after Crash Bandicoot: Warped, the story finds Dr. Cortex hungry for revenge after his defeat at Crash's hands. To get it, he creates Crunch — a hulking super-bandicoot built to destroy everything in his path — powered by a set of magical masks called the Elementals, each tied to a different force: Earth, Water, Fire, and Ice. To stop Cortex from wielding Crunch as a weapon for world domination, Crash and his sister Coco must travel the globe gathering special Crystals that will lull the Elementals back into hibernation.
