The early 2000s were just such a cool time.

the game might've not been great, but jeez was the soundtrack amazing

24 people fell into the ice lake while trying to jump on a mammoth for an extra life.

this song and game has a place in my heart for all the childhood memories...ahh the nostalgia....

Slow dancing mammoths, infinite spawning seals, and flipping penguins. Unforgettable xD.

THIS is the real Crash 4 for me.

This was actually the first Crash game I ever played, and I remember finding out the hard way that just about anything and everything can kill you, even...penguins and seals!?!

Wow, people who don't absolutely hate this game. I love this comment section! ^-^

This song really takes me back...

I liked that they dared to break the platformer trope of starting with a greenery/jungle level by doing a complete opposite and starting with a snow/ice level playing this absolute banger of a track. It's almost impossible to not to jam with it. 🙂

This was the first console game i had ever played! Gosh. The best!

This game holds a special place in my heart. The music takes me back. I remember playing the WoC demo at my local Hastings (which is a store that no longer exists sadly) when the PS2 first came out. Me and my best friend at the time would take turns playing this and the Jak and Daxter 1 demo. We were totally amazed at how cool the PS2 looked. Seems like forever ago now. Those were some good times.

I think we can all agree that we got this song stuck in our brains due to how much we've replayed the first level of this game lmao

I like how they broke the pattern of generally sunny and warm first levels, and went with a snowy, cold one!

this game is so underrated!

This whole games soundtrack is just amazing. I remember replaying levels just to listen to the songs

Nostalgia just hit me like a brick.

This was propably the first piece of music that ever truly captivated me. The tempo, the otherworldly feeling. It´s all so perfect.

I can hear the seals and the sound of crash sliding along the ice...

this thing has a place in my heart.

Eu como brasileiro digo q esse e um dos melhores jogos da minha vida!! Obrigado essa música e boa dms

Despite what people say, I still like Wrath of Cortex. It's not as bad as people say it is. Sure it's not as good as the as the first 3 games but it's a good crash to me. Sure, It could of been more original, looked better, have less vehicle levels (even though I enjoyed most of them) and have WAY better boss fights, but regardless, I still enjoyed this game and it's definitely one of the most underrated crash games. Also, I never had any problems with the loading screens. Maybe because I was playing it on the gamecube.

I remember having this on Christmas Day the year the game came out and played this level and loved this tune perfect for Christmas Day Vibes, every snow level in Crash has a great soundtrack, god I miss these times…Very Nostalgic!!

The Seals: *OUGH OUGH OUGH OUGH*

*Back when I was in elementary school and played this, when things were better, when I had a mom and dad... oh how things have changed.....* Rip dad💙🙏🏽

Amazing way to start off the game!

Brings back memories

When you replay a stage just for the music...

Every now and I tear up at the nostalgia when I hear old crash osts

The nostalgia on this music and level...

This song rocks!

This soundtrack.... Is... So.... AAAAAAAHHHHH

90's and 2000's ❤

I know it's cliché to say this but man this takes me back... early mornings where I'd just play the same levels over and over because I didnt have a memory card

THE MUSIC

The nostalgia is so strong! I hear this song then I start remembering this icy level and the times when i was so free of all life responsibilities

My family and myself went to my dad's country called Ecuador in the summer and we went to visit many of my dad's friends but one friend is a cousin and he had a copy of this game in Ecuador! It was also translated in Spanish and man it was fun to play! In that country it is very hard to find these fun games but wow that cousin of mine has a rare copy of that amazing game

When i was 4 my mom had this for PS2. When i was 9 i had this for Gamecube. 7 years passed and i just got this game last week. time to play it over again.

i remember some other crash songs but This is the one that keeps returning to my brain to haunt me every couple of months. This song is something else.

Looks like four people got wrecked by a spinning penguin

For some reason this specific tune was playing in my mind all day, I finally gave in, and here I am. I haven't played or heard this song since release. But all these years later, my monkey mind was flicking through the mind jukebox, and this started playing note for note.

me walking to school on a cold winter morning in 2016

i get this song stuck in my head every time i listen to it or even hear it a little. its such an addicting song ; this is the level i remember the most of all of them.

The only thing that was bad about this game is: the loading, the design and that Crunch is the only boss.

1:28 I remember that sample of this song was used in a commercial, I just don't know what commercial it was, but it certainly wasn't Crash

Even if you hate this game you have to agree it has a great soundtrack!

I miss this game so much!!

This type of music was the PS2 showing off it's sound quality over the PS1, almost as impressive as the new graphics back then

i love all of the instruments in this

I remember when this game first came out. i was about 8-9ish, and i got an xbox/halo 1 for my birthday, and my sister got Crash Bandicoot Wrath of Cortex/ps2, ohhh how jealous i was. It was insane.

the game wasn't very good but this soundtrack SLAPS

20 years ago now Christmas Day when got this game nostalgia

This game, In My Opinion, is underrated. Yes, it has some moments that are terrible, but some aspects of this game are great.

Me hizo llorar

A damn-good soundtrack for a good game. I know its debatable but i loved it 🤗

I am Glad I managed to get a PS2 again and experience THIS AMAZING Music 😍

I’m pissed they never remastered this one.

Love the soundtrack on this game especially arctic antics that's my favourite just wish I still had my ps2 and this game it was the best thing ever

Man, Crash Bandicoot had the best music hands down!

First game to introduce me to the playstation 2 and it's graphical power

I can imagine crash’s goofy walk when I hear this play. It looks so funny

yeah, your right, it does hehe, it is good music, thanks for your comment and rating :)

Idk why people think this game is so bad. Its really not that bad and it gets too much hate. Great song right here, make me wanna play it

Almost 23 years ago. I only listen to thiscshdb I'm drunk

Me acuerdo mucho que cuando tenía mi play chipeada tenía ese juego y fue mi primer juego de crash bandicoot y esa canción me da re nostalgia escucharla

I gotta get this game again, i miss it so much. :( Edit: I forgot that i made this comment. Anyway, i ended up getting my hands on this game again a couple years back, and i realized that my nostalgia might of been blinding me a little bit. It's not the greatest game in the series, but in my opinion i wouldn't call it the worst. It has it's problems and it's far from perfect, but i still enjoyed playing through it.

So nostalgic...

this track fuckin slaps

I love this theme OHH THE GAME IJUST 😍 LOVE IT IM CRYING NOW

I love this level I always get all the boxes,plus the levels you play as Coco are awesome!

I think they cared more about the soundtracks then the main game in this one

Ahhh the arctic anties my favorite song and mission

This was my 1st PS2 game. Good times.

@Connor Coffey I still play it. That game is my entire childhood.

🥶🥶🥶

I have heard so much about this game and it shocks me to know it introduced my favorite character of all time, Crunch Bandicoot. I haven't played it yet but I sure am gonna now that I know this was Crunch's debut

It's a good theme, not going to lie

Main reason I didn't like the game was the eternal loading times on PS2. But then I found the XBox version on the Live store and the load times are cut down significantly... Oh and the graphics are better... YAY! :D

I really loved that there were unique music tracks for every level in this game.

this is one of my favourite games, so magical

Can't get it out of my head!!!

oh yessssssssssss

this song is so peaceful, makes me feel like running around in the arctic like Crash for some reason

this is where my gaming started

Oh gosh, the memories in this ost 😭😭 im crying🥹 i can’t explain how much i love it!!

Who else thinks they should do a remaster?

I can already the "ooh ooh" of the seals crossing

Best Gaming Soundtrack ever! When it is winter i'm remembering this soundtrack!

Banger

One of my many favorite game themes from Crash. Nostalgia childhood man. 👍😎

Amazing music

the shading and lighting makes this game perfect travellers tales has cool effects

Me: Yo fam pass the aux Friend: You'd better not play shi-

* skiing sounds intensifies *

My first game... Nostalgia

This was the first game i ever played and i have the best memories of sitting up all night with my sis and playing it💕😊never gets old

Ah, this is where I learned that spinning into TNT crates wasn't a good idea. Now this game is old enough to drink 😜

N.sanity beach’s theme in crash 1 (both the original and the n.sans trilogy version): I sleep Arctic antics’ theme in the wrath of cortex: Real stuff
