"A goofy way to bring the main Gillian back". They are doing *Satanic* rituals nitro. * S A T A N I C R I T U A L S*

The best part about the "I'm Wallace Stinkleberg and I'm gonna rob this bank!" bit is just how plausible that situation is

I was dying at the part with Wallace Stinkleberg, so dang funny

Played this game so much as a kid, thanks for covering it!

Fun story: I was beating this game 100% recently with my brother. Near the end we joked "I bet the true ending is going o be creepypasta thing, there will be a bunch of empty levels with a hiperrealistic Croc". Of course the last three levels are empty levels made us think that our creepypasta was going to become true...

The Trophies from each world can be spent in any worlds trophy door, so you might have spent the 5 Cossack (ice) world trophies somewhere else. There is probably a level in a different world that you dont have a trophy for. Or your disc is rekt

Croc 2 is the Dark Souls of Croc

Hey Nitro Rad, I actually 100% completed this game, and sorry to say but as soon as you get the all the eggs it just goes to the credits, no special or alternate ending exists. This is where I mentioned on the previous video that this game might have been unfinished/rushed. Actually the Gameboy color 100% ending for croc 2 was just this ending without the Baron Dante ending. (I own the Ps1 games plus thier gamboy color counterparts)

So, who owns the rights to Croc now? I'd love to see him come back in some form!

I think Croc could come back. Its humor, characters, and presentation are what it has to offer. Also, who the heck was that hilarious bank robber?

Wow, my favorite shoes have released a sequel

Maybe instead of a puzzle, we can call it a tactical.... er, environmental.... Good lord no wonder there's no name for this kind of thing this is hard, dude. That being said, if you can come up with a catchy name for it, James, you could probably be able to make it into a widespread term, seeing as you have a sizable audience as is.

I was shocked seeing the "life savers" product placement, in the PAL version they were just different colored jellys. Bouncing of the jellys looks more natural too, so I guess this was pretty much a last second change.

The definition of Puzzle noun 1. a game, toy, or *problem* designed to test ingenuity or knowledge. I’d say a boss fight that requires more thinking than simply punching it to death can absolutely be classified as a puzzle.

I was really confused watching this as I've played loads of this game and had no recollection of coloured gummis, then remembered they were just the different coloured jelly in the PAL version! Much better IMO.

Your genuine nature and honest feelings make you one of my favorite reviewers around! I love the optimism even when things are less than perfect!

You're really not missing much without the secret levels, they're copies of the main hubs but replacing NPCs with Dantinis and each door takes you to a mini level where you get a crystal. Get all crystals and the egg appears in the hub, get all 3 eggs and the game just... cuts to the same fast credits but this time they say "Congrats, it's 100%!". No cutscenes, you almost can't even read the message because of how fast the credits roll, it's kinda hilarious. I gotta say you're like the only one I've seen who gives this series a fairly positive review, I grew up with the first game and even though I know it's flawed it's refreshing to see someone get the good of it out there. Good job!! :D

Croc and Croc 2 were some of my favorite games for the ps1 and I didn't even own them as a kid. Love your videos Nitro.

One of the most nostalgic games for me. I sound effects are still vividly in my head

Oh man seeing those lifesavers in the shop brings me back. I don't know why but the one on the left I remember so vividly from way back when I played this game when it launched.

My wifi got cut as soon as you said, "Fox published games?!" Perfect timing

This review is so much better then Caddy’s where he just stopped at the octopus boss. This review actually goes really in depth

Just discovered your channel and I love it ! You talk about so many games that deserve more attention ! And so many memories ! Gotta watch your Fatal Frame videos next !

That Pikmin 2 product placement was top notch. Really made you want to go out and buy some collectibles or food. Croc's use of it makes me wonder how it would go in the modern age if more games did that. Like Mario Kart 8 using a Mercedes-Benz?

Great video buddy, defo subbed

Damn shame Croc 3 never got made, it would've been interesting to see Croc on the then modern systems.

Take that Wallace Stinkleburg! Our Banks deserve to be Safe!

I'm a simple man. I see a new NitroRad video, I watch it, I love it

The weird thing is, I got so used to the tank controls in Croc 1, that I used the alternate control method in the PC version of Croc 2 which sets him back to tank controls, it threw me off too much to play it normally.

It's a good day when nutro rad uploads

Your videos help me sleep at night

Idk why but watching your videos always puts a smile on my face. You are just so happy in all your videos and even when playing a bad game you still seem so happy. Definitely one of my favorite youtubers and deserving of every penny I'm going to give you on patreon.

I remember buying this game the day my parents went to Circuit City to get our first computer and I absolutely loved it

Great video ! I would also add that i find the musics of this game suprisingly amazing. All of them are still in my head nowdays and i love them !

the perfect plan walking in a bank with a gun and saying "im Wallace Stinkleburg and im going to rob this bank"

OMG I HAVEN'T HEARD THE NAME CROC IN YEARS!!! MY CHILDHOOD NOSTALGIA JUST HIT ME HARD! :D

Instead of sprites with eyes and a crown, now the Gobbos look like cereal. To be specific, Golden Nuggets/Honey Smacks that've been left out in the sun for too long.

DUDE I love you for using the Hotel Dusk music

Love this game. I played it on PC when I was 5 and I almost forgot about it. Your review brought back all the memories! Thanks!

Croc 2: The Squeakquel

Croc 2! Me and my brother loved this game! Had the PC version. Let's see, I remember liking the music in the second and forth world. We liked the noise the gobbos made. There's a forth world level where you put baby gobbos into cribs and I remember finding the level unsettling. Also, there's this one (jungle?) level where the music sounds like an instrumental of one-hit wonder "Coco Jumbo" by Mr. President. I always thought that was cool.

Never knew about the flip jump. And I've been through all the worlds and villages already.

Ok so you've covered most of the 3D platformers I remember from my childhood. Kao the Kangaroo, Rayman and Croc were pretty big here in Poland in early 2000s. I remember like two more games getting any sort of recognition. Sammy Suricate could make for a good video I would imagine. It's basically a puzzle platformer and I mean it - the levels are basically giant puzzles. The other one is called "Modi i Nanna" ... but I don't think I could recommend it because it's never been released outside of Poland and even here it's not really renowned. Also because there's apparently a bug making the game absolutely unbeatable.

I was waiting for this follow up of the Croc 1 video, very nice once more! What is curious is that for some reason they made the PS1 version more "difficult" than on PC because PC players start with 6 Hit Points instead of 3 while all the level mapping and object placement is pretty much the same thing. There is one missing music on PC version and some song swaps too. Other interesting element is the Gummy Savers use in North American copies, the European versions still used Jellies like in the original game. Despite of the many improvements I have a slight preference on the first game as I found it generally more challenging. Croc 2 was still pretty enjoyable in any way. As for the Game Boy Color games, I would personally advice to stay away from the GBC port of Croc 2 which is disastrous, the first one was rather ok.

I think I played this in the Eagle’s Nest at Giant Eagle when I was kid. I never got passed the first level lol. Glad to see your channel is growing!!

Your review is way better than Caddicarus's review!

This game was my childhood ❤😅 Unfortunately my CD got too scratched before I could ever finish it. This gives me so much nostalgia

Croc is *_*SO*_*_ _*_CUTE_* just like Yoshi from Super Mario World!! 😍😍😍 Also, he is pretty much what King K. Rool from the Donkey Kong Country video games isn't there (other than the fact that they both are crocodilians).

Another quality video👌 Noice job👍

The Paper Mario music is OD

I had a busy day running my daughter to the library and swim class and grocery shopping. Come home to a new Nitro Rad vid. Good way to unwind

Dude, you are such a good KZfaqr. Really professional. Love the way you review games.

I remember seeing this in a Blockbuster as a little kid, having played the first Croc, and wanted it. Never got it. Now I get to see what it was like.

I'm playing Croc 1 on Saturn and I am loving it.

Great review. The music in Croc 2 is some of my favorite in gaming. The handglider level has probably my favorite OST of all time.

this was my first video game ever... I couldn't even get past the beach area when I was that young and stupid lmfao

Oh, this game brings back memories. I never played the first one and I'm wanting to think I got this as a bonus with my PlayStation one Christmas. I never completed it because the second racing course kicked my butt, but I loved the music and the color palette was so upbeat. I'd never heard of anyone else playing this before. Thanks for bringing back the good memories, Nitro Rad!

You really aren't missing much with the hidden world. The Hidden World is just going through the normal levels again but on a sort of "Hard Mode" thing and the hub worlds have enemies in it. I did some research and apparently the game was rushed out and a lot of stuff kinda shows it, the last world only has 2 levels, the hidden world just has a text "to be continued" thing, and there are signs of more worlds that didn't make it in going by the Gobbos' costumes on the back of the manual.

He's a young K.Rool. His youth is where his fascination for sparkly gems came from.

I played so much of the first one as a kid, it was in my top three, I still own it today & regularly play it whenever I break out the PS2. Never played number 2 though, until it arrived in the mail this morning so it’s next to go through when the PS gets setup next

That epic jewel case insert flip was magical. Just magical

And honestly those little Vehicle sections remind me of Mario Galaxy's side-attractions away from the regular platforming, yet they're less frustrating it seems.

That sidestep is one of the most adorable things I've ever seen

Rescuing the eggs is exactly what the secret world is, and it's very underwhelming. You just go through each hub world again -- except for the last one -- and find one colored gem in each stage to unlock a cage in the hub world that's holding the egg. I assume the last world wasn't included because it only has three stages, and there are five colored gems. There's not even a bonus ending, it just rolls the credits again once you collect the final egg.

seeing the mario 64 cut aways just reminds you of how far ahead mario was, its like games like croc were made 10 years before mario 64

He's right. I've played Croc 2 on my computer and it is a VERY punishing game!

So something neat about the PC version of Croc 2 is that you start with 5 hearts instead of 3. Doesn’t fix that health system though.

I have really fond memories of this game but thanks to your review on it I realize why I don't remember finishing the snow world.

I've lost too many hours on Croc 2 and Jersey Devil as a kid, it's a cool throwback.

I don't know why, but your videos make me feel good

I never got past the first area as a kid. First I was a playing on my computer with no controller and second that freaking hit point system rekt'd me.

This game is so nostalgic! Took me forever to beat, when I was a kid. I miss the mine cart level the most.

I really enjoy the short skits you do in your reviews.

I can agree to that last sentiment. Whenever I want to replay a PS1 or N64 game I always look at my copy of both Croc games and consider them for a moment but always end up playing something else. Croc was fairly decent for its time but it got lost in the crowd.

Oh man when I was little we had a demo of this on our PC, you brought back old memories

About time someone else on this planet grasped the true wonder that is Vlasic pickles. I love the crunchy dills man.

The Flawed Strikes Back

Cros 2 is..... not a game I actually played, despite loving the first Croc. Only got to try it out once for a short time on a friend's PS1, so seeing it here explored in-depth is my introduction to most of the game. Too bad about the weird difficulty, would've broken gotten frustrated with it as a child. I wonder, if the Gobbos on the island are all wearing clothes but the original ones aren't, does that make them nudists?

If you're looking for another strange 3D platformer of this era, try Tonic Trouble. I remember it as a kid, but I have no idea if it was actually any good. lol I'd like to see you cover it. It looks extremely similar to Rayman 2. In fact, it was probably made by the same studio.

All your videos become the highlight of my day.

I am once again watching this video and remembering how fucking HARD this game was

Man I love platformer game reviews you do man these are absolutely brilliant. Just wondering if you would ever review Jak and Daxter would love to hear you’re opinions.

I played Croc 2 on PC as a child years before I ever played Croc 1 on the PS1. I remember being so much less sensitive about controls, graphics and even story back in the day. The only instance I can remember of being like "I can't deal with these controls" is from when I played Resident Evil 2, and even then to be fair it was probably just the urgency of not being eaten alive exacerbating it.

That camera quality hit me like a truck

I appreciate your background music

all these years and i never noticed that he stops at 1:26 because the paper flew out irgejrhnr

You didn't really miss much with the secret island. Yeah, you get some extra levels to recover the eggs from Lord Dante, but it doesn't have a new final boss, nor any cutscenes at the end when you get all the eggs, just a "Congrats! You completed the game 100%, is this the end of the story? Just wait and see!", so ending the saga with the cute cutscene between croc and both his biological and adoptive parents was a much better way than just a text screen. Also to add insult to injury, the 100% ending text scrolls just as fast as the regular credits.

The shading on that Croc CGI model has weird lighting to it, he looks like he’s crying a cartoon teardrop on a small mobile thumbnail.

Caddicarus’s review of this game just seems incredibly lazy compared to this. I also like that Nitro Rad actually *reviews* the game instead of just complaining about it and shaking the screen while making funny noises.

I like to use the term ‘Environmental Boss Fights’ to describe those types of boss fights.

I like that Croc: Legend of the Gobbos and Cars 3 made the exact same "life's a beach" pun.

Thank you so much... I had distant memories of playing a challenging but fun game on a computer (probably an emulator) with my much older cousins when I was five. I remembered a shop with lifesavers, goofy furball characters, and an awesome squid boss. I recently found your channel, and I'm trying to binge some of your 3D platformers. I saw this one and decided to check it out. Little did I know that I was going to find the nostalgic wonder that I had been searching for for years. Seriously, thank you Nitro Rad. I'll have to emulate this...

I still have one of these games for my game boy

I just rewatched your original croc video yesterday. It's like youtube knew you were making a croc 2 video XD

Congrats on 100K!

Little did NitroRad know, he gave an idea for a Mario 64 hack. One that would create challenge playthroughs that would be tough to the bone.

I wish this had been on Dreamcast. Probably would have played it a lot back in the day.

Homer: 7:27 he said RARE I'm going to play Goldeneye! *runs off* Marge: I never agreed to that deeeeal!

My copy of Croc 2 was for the Gameboy Color. I actually won it as a home-player for Video & Arcade Top 10. Funny enough, I actually sent in my letter for the art wall, so when I received a package with a game in it I was pretty happy! I don't think there was a taped episode that aired with me as the home player though. My only hope is if I can ever find the series uploaded online, but chances of that are slim. :(
