The game follows Croc on his travels through colourful worlds, exploring different environments, defeating enemies, collecting items and rescuing the Gobbos .
The game is a sequel to the first Croc game but features larger levels, new gameplay elements, new characters and more varied objectives. You are Croc, a nice green crocodile, who goes through many levels that have platforms, enemies, puzzles, collectibles and secret areas.
Croc 2 is based on classic platforming gameplay. Players will have to navigate the environments with care, jumping between platforms, avoiding hazards, defeating enemies and searching for collectibles. The game has a lighthearted feel thanks to the colourful presentation and cartoon-like characters that will appeal to fans of retro 3D platforming.
Story
After the events of the first game Croc continues his adventure to once again become involved in a mission to help the Gobbos. New characters are added and Croc explores a variety of locations, each packed with challenges and dangers.
During the adventure Croc must explore the different worlds, complete objectives, collect important items and defeat enemies. His journey led him across colourful locations, each with a different environmental theme and its own set of platforming challenges.
The story continues the humorous and family friendly style of the original game, but with new characters and locations to the Croc universe.
Gameplay
Croc 2 is a traditional 3D platformer with exploration, jumping, enemies, collectibles and environmental puzzles. Players control Croc as he progresses through a variety of stages, completing objectives and hunting for secrets.
The core movement system is simple to understand. Croc can walk, jump, attack enemies and interact with objects in the environment. “Platforming” is judging distances and using Croc’s movement abilities to reach higher areas.
Levels are packed with collectibles and optional areas that encourage exploration rather than simply racing to the end. Players who are willing to search their surroundings can find extra items and secrets.
Combat is fairly basic compared to action based games. Croc mostly uses his tail attack and jumping skills to deal with enemies. So the game is more about platforming and exploration than intricate combat.
