Crash and Spyro had to travel in five different worlds, collecting crystals(in Crash's case) and gems (Spyro's case) and defeat the monsters and fight the bosses, clearing numerous minigames along the way. Trading cards can also be exchanged between the two games. [edit] Plot [edit] Story Doctor Neo Cortex (Crash Bandicoot's sworn enemy) has joined forces with Spyro the Dragon's enemy, Ripto and they plan to get rid of both Spyro and Crash by sending out Ripto's monsters into the area. Aku Aku and Coco Bandicoot ask Crash to save the world by recovering the crystals before Cortex does. Meanwhile, the Professor and Hunter ask Spyro to close the portals and get rid of the monsters. Unfortunately for Crash and Spyro, they were tricked into thinking they were enemies. In Crash's world, the Riptocs are dressed as Spyro and in Spyro's world, they are dressed as Crash. Crash and Spyro meet and engage in a fight on a bridge, but realize that they've been tricked. A new friendship blooms between them. They join forces to defeat the two evil villains. Not even Tiny Tiger, Crush or Gulp can stop them, but Cortex uses his niece, Nina Cortex, to kidnap Coco and the Professor. Blink informs Crash and Spyro what happened to Coco and the Professor. Spyro rescues Coco and the Professor while Crash distracts Nina. Finally, Crash and Spyro defeat Nina at her own game. Coco has an idea: If they put a tracer on Cortex and Ripto, they would track them to their headquarters. Crash defeats Ripto, but he forgot to insert the tracer. Spyro defeats Cortex and he puts the tracer on him. Crash and Spyro reach their headquarters in outer space. As a team, Crash and Spyro defeat Cortex and Ripto. They thank each other as the games ends with a photo of Crash having Spyro in a friendly headlock, and the credits roll. [edit] Reception Review scores Publication Score Eurogamer 7/10 Game Informer 5.75/10 GameSpot 7.7/10 GameSpy 3/5 GameZone 5.3/10 IGN 7/10 Nintendo Power 7/10 Play Magazine C+ Compilations of multiple reviews Game Rankings 65.3% Metacritic 67 Crash Bandicoot Purple: Ripto's Rampage received mixed reviews from critics upon its release. Frank Provo of GameSpot credited the game as "a good, solid choice for fans of the genre," citing its strong minigames and well-made platforming mechanics. Craig Harris of IGN found that the game "offers a lot of challenge and variety with a ton of single and multiplayer mini-games," but described the overall design of the game as "loosely constructed with a comparatively wimpy, underdeveloped overworld design." Tom Bramwell of Eurogamer criticized the minigames and warned experienced gamers that the collection would "quickly become far too familiar and untaxing to warrant extended interest." Nintendo Power said that the game "presents a steady stream of minigames with tons of variety." Play Magazine considered the game superior to its "crossover cousin" Spyro Orange: The Cortex Conspiracy, but decided that the game "still feels cheap". David Chapman of GameSpy praised the library of minigames and the extras unlocked when the game is linked with a copy of Spyro Orange: The Cortex Conspiracy, while Lisa Mason of Game Informer criticized the platforming levels as "derivative and uninspired" and the minigames as "frustrating and not very much fun at all." Louis Bedigian of GameZone noted the plentiful minigames, but found the game to be lacking in adventuring, platforming or excitement.
