There's no real difference between thu way the two versions look and play, except that thjti's now a better save game system and tweaked graphics. It appears that after all the festive hype, Crash Bandicoot 2 is nothing but a Christmas cash-in.

The truly amazing graphics, perfect car handling and the great in-car views make it all seem real, and spectacular crashes give it an unpredictable edge. The only thing stopping this quality racer reaching perfection are the rather tedious tracks.
