AbstractCrash is back, but this time he's smaller than a pea. It's not just because CRASH BANDICOOT: The Huge Adventure is a handheld game, either. It seems that the nefarious Dr. Cortex has shrunk the planet down to the size of a grapefruit, and a tiny bandicoot named Crash has to save the day. Divided into six locations and 20 levels, the game boasts more than 10 hours of gameplay. Crazy characters and amazing graphics mark this fifth installment of the fan-favorite CRASH BANDICOOT series.

Full descriptionCrash's first non-PlayStation outing, brought to the GBA as a side-scroller with 3D bonus stages. Dr. N Cortex, Crash's creator as well as his evil nemesis has world domination plans on a much smaller scale -- he's shrunk the planet to the size of a grapefruit while everyone's still on it. Which means our hero (along with the general public) is probably about ankle-high to a microbe or something...and that's pretty darn tiny. Cortex literally has the whole world in his hands now, and it's up to Crash Bandicoot to make it through the game's four worlds of five levels, collecting crystals that'll, hopefully, return the planet and its inhabitants to their rightful size.
Making his colossal debut into the world of handheld gaming comes Crash Bandicoot: The Huge Adventure! With 20 levels featuring six unique locations, Crash can go anywhere from the Mayan Jungle to frigid Arctic Caverns. Gameplay modes range from side-scrolling to 3D chase levels to aerial dogfight combat sequences. It's marsupial madness on the Game Boy Advance!

AmazonCrash Bandicoot: The Huge Adventure marks the first time Crash has appeared on a handheld system. The game contains 20 levels and features six unique locations that take Crash from the Mayan jungle to frigid Arctic caverns. Gameplay modes include side-scrolling, 3-D chase levels and aerial dogfight combat sequences. Crash is once again pitted against his archnemesis, the evil Dr. Neo Cortex. Orbiting high above Earth, Cortex has decided to abandon his fixation on our hero and redirect his evil focus to world domination. Using his latest invention, a massive shrinking ray, Cortex takes aim and fires at Earth, shrinking the planet to the size of a grapefruit. Luckily, Crash's brilliant kid sister Coco is feverishly working on a machine to reverse the effects, but she needs crystals from around the world to power her invention. It is up to Crash to retrieve the crystals and help return the entire planet to its natural state.
