Croc 2, Sony Playstation

He's so cute! And he's back! Those of you with fond memories of Croc's first PSX outing will recall that by the end of that game, the evil Baron Dante had been defeated, King Rufus had been rescued from the Tower of Terror, and the Gobbos were free. Everything was back to normal in Gobbo Valley and young Croc was a hero. However, the Dantinis, Baron Dante's wicked little minions, were plotting the return of the evil one. Meanwhile, Croc and the Gobbos, blissfully unaware, carried on having their fun in the valley, playing around in their carefree way, until Croc finds a message in a bottle, signed with a baby crocodile footprint. Whoever sent the message writes that they are looking for their long-lost son. Croc, of course, doesn't expect foul play. Meanwhile, the Baron and his Dantinis have resumed their reign of terror in the valley, stealing mascot birds and the wheels from the Gobbos' racing car. To progress through the game, and its myriad sub-games, tasks are set out for Croc to perform, such as retrieving the wheels of the aforementioned car, but it doesn't play like your average platformer. You have the opportunity to perform them in an order of your choosing. Perform all tasks and collect the available crystals, and you can pay a visit to Swap Meet Pete's store (there's one in all four villages, folks), to use your Crystal Charge Card to buy power-ups. Croc 2 is a deceptive piece of work. Although it looks and sounds like a game for youngsters, it is quite a demanding game after the initial levels, and requires lots of attention. Storming your way through Croc 2 will get you nowhere fast, so be patient and the rewards will come. He's a sensitive little creature so control with care. If you enjoyed Croc's first adventure, Croc 2 is different enough from the original to warrant a purchase.

Dancing Stage Fever
As the arcade dance-em-up continues to make waves across the industry, we've seen numerous spin-off games and clones produced, encouraging players to groove in different ways. But Konami has proved itself to be the most prolific developer in this relatively new genre, and has chosen to stick with traditional 4-way dancing for it's next outing - Dancing Stage Fever for PlayStation 2. In terms of ga...
WRC II Extreme
The original WRC made some of the biggest, boldest promises ever seen in the world of interactive entertainment. Sony's in-house development team, before previewing the title at E3, assured us that massive, free-roaming environments would be accompanied by the most realistic set of physics ever seen in a car game. This turned out to be a slight stretching of the truth. Drunken, bitter developers f...
A-Train 6
Despite being a very small genre with a small userbase, the 3D train simulator has become a lot more prominent in recent years. 2D offerings such as Railroad Tycoon were reasonably popular, but now games players have been treated to 3D outings such as Microsoft Train Simulator. Well now there's another one for PlayStation 2, promising to go deeper into railway simulation than any game to go before...
Apocalypse
Here's your chance to be Bruce Wilis, just put on a soiled white vest, arm yourself to the teeth, pick up your joypad and sit back and enjoy Apocalypse. In this game, you get to run, jump, somersault and shoot like Bruce himself, in a game that reeks of a film conversion, but isn't. Typically, the only time a big-name Hollywood star like Willis attaches his name to a game is when it's all part of ...
SingStar
For a number of years now, voice recognition-style software has been a singer's best friend, putting them in tune during post-production and thus helping to convince the music-buying public that the likes of Victoria Beckham can actually sing. Well, the devious minds at Sony London have had other plans and, rather than helping the world's vocalists, are now using similar technology to judge them. ...
Incredible Crisis
The year 2000 has seen its fair share of, shall we say, unusual titles, and especially for the PlayStation. The uniqueness of Vib Ribbon springs immediately to mind, as does the certifiable madness of Bishi Bashi Special. Well there's another name to add to the list of curiosities and that name is Incredible Crisis. Bonkers game-play and a huge variation of addictive games is guaranteed. There are...
