I'm seriously considering giving up on high Road time trial. I feel like even the gold relic is impossible.

Haha I didn't remember it to be that bad
It's just that you can die from so many bullshit it's frustrating (red lizards for example)
Yes, it's really annoying. I hope VV address this (along with long loading times and adding a restart option) in a future patch

It was a brilliant intro the first time but after a few times I agree it gets a bit tedious. I suspect the reason it's unskippable is because it's hiding some extra loading times.

The pop-off! Which Relic did you go for last?

The curve on this game is crazy. You have Native Fortress and High Road but then a whole glut of factory levels which are fairly straightforward.

High Road relic man... I suck at staying on the ropes.
Yeah the rope technique is like a challenge in and of itself, I got 2 game overs trying it haha

Okay, Slide Jump works like a charm. Thanks guys. That's the first level of Crash 2 100%.

I skipped most of Crash 1 to save the frustration for later. Turns out that all the games are frustrating!
Getting the box gem on Cold Hard Crash is just...eurgh. That death path is killing me. Made it through the death path the be swept up in the momentum of the ice and be unable to turn around and backtrack for that box I made appear from the ! block at the end.
Twice.
Eurrrrrgh.

Body slam as soon as you get past the crushers before the ! Box. It kills your momentum completely.
I just 100%'d Crash 2. It's still my favourite thing ever.

Trying to get the gems on Tomb Time kicked my ass this morning, might wait until I've unlocked the spin upgrade.
Glad I'm not imagining it, it's a pain
So for Crash 2 I shouldn't bother with Time Trials until the end, right?
Tried running through Turtle Woods and I'm nowhere near fast enough. =
I actually just went through in level order. The High Road was the hardest because it super finicky and difficult even when cheating. =
The ones after that were remarkably easy compared to that.
There is some definite jank in Fumbling in the Dark though. There's a small platform just before the first rats that seems to slow you down a little.
And later there's a section where you need the rats to spin away into a far away box so you can light the last bit of level... and the rats sometimes just don't spawn.
Bear in mind I did NOT go for Platinum relics as I don't have the time or patience to do so on my days off. Its supposed to be relaxing! =P
I can give you a pointer for High Road: hop on and off the rope only for jumps you can't make alone.
Unless you can absolutely master walking on the rope then its not worth the effort.
I went for Gold and it was still super tight. =

The time for High Road gold medal is stupid.

There's no trial and error, observe and you'll see that he follows a certain pattern every time you hit him. Just stay out of his way and you'll beat him easily.
He is a simple boss with a clear pattern. Not sure what's terrible about him.
He jumps on certain platforms in each phase and never changes his pattern.

And you can also hide to the left and right of the screen if it gets too hard.
I'd say the hardest relics are:
Sunset Vista
Native Fortress
High Road
Sunset is just ridiculously long, but Native Fortress was my least favourite. The hazards would be at a different part of their cycle every time I got to them, sometimes not even in sync with each other. That whole level felt like a load of RNG bullshit.
Sorry, I should have said he's too simple for you to be repeating it every time you die. Once you've figured out what his path is and what crates to jump on for the first two phases it's just not fun when you have to do the same thing again as you try to figure things out for the third. Maybe terrible was an overstatement, but it wasn't good.

Why can't I just restart the level on a crate run? Why do I need to quit and sit through 2 overly long loading screens? The game has a huge emphasis on collectibles, a detailed animation of all missed crates at the end of a level, yet the actual process for crate hunting is cumbersome as hell. I don't get how this never came up in like the most basic game testing.
I've deciced I'm not going to start going for plats until 3, as it was my favorite, but I still wanted to beat 1 and 2 first before playing it. Can't wait. Loved the challenge of the 1st, and 2 is just plain and simple fun.
It feels like a cool, cool breeze blowing on a cool spring day, especially after beating 1.

It is annoying, but you know it's only necessary for the coloured gems right? You're allowed to die for the rest.
What is this
After banging my head against The High Road to no avail, I have decided to move on to Cortex Strikes Back. The immediate difference in quality is striking! I feel like I have so much more control over Crash, and I'm so happy to have muh slide. They should have shoved the slide into Crash 1. Crash 1 doesn't give me enough, but Crash 2 gives me everything I could hope for.

Slippery Climb yeah... Absolutely every jump is the world cup final.
I find hilarious how the game throws me an Aku Aku mask after some deaths, like "here, this will help". Bless you Aku Aku, I wouldn't know what to do without you...

Still no small feat, congrats! I haven't gotten to The High Road or Fumbling in the Dark yet. Not looking forward to it
As far as the ropes go, I still haven't gotten it down. I swore I'd abuse them for Road to Nowhere, but found it easier to just clear normally by the end. Every time I swing for the ropes, I just die trying.
Dammit.... 1:15:30 was the best time I could do after 45 minute of trying (need 1:13). Screwed up on the last jump and had to bounce thrice on that last turtle.
I got Native Fortress and Sunset Vista already, so I just need to get past this...
Edit: Got it. Yuussss. I guess a gold isn't that impressive but I'm happy.

I can't do rope cheese properly either. Even if I manage to stand on it, I somehow slip to my death seconds later..

Keep dodging until they stop flinging things at you. Then kill them.

Just got the Native Fortress Relic, actually. Felt like:
In reality, it was more like:
As far bullshit, my favorite were the turtles at the beginning. I'd spin the back one to kill the front one to save time, but I swear that sometimes the back turtle would not kill the front turtle when I did the very same spin (or super close), leaving me the bag to recover and hit the front one before impact. I lost this battle several times.
Try playing that level with a 10 month old on your lap "helping" by either dragging the analogue stick just when it's critical to get jumps right or pressing the PS home button.
Needless to say she won and I ended up deciding to postpone operation "Get daughter liking gaming" for a bit!
