Developed by Argonaut Games and published by Fox Interactive, Croc 2 arrived on the PlayStation in 1999 as a platformer. It blends platformer and action elements.

It landed about 4 years into the PS1's life. Other notable PS1 releases from 1999 include Grand Theft Auto 2, Final Fantasy VIII and Resident Evil 3: Nemesis. Among the 77 PS1 platformers in our database, it ranks #24 by legacy score.

It is part of the Croc series; on the PS1 you can also try Croc: Legend of the Gobbos. The series also appears on other systems with Croc: Legend of the Gobbos (Saturn) and Croc (GBC). Argonaut Games also made Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and Disney's Aladdin in Nasira's Revenge for the PS1.

Croc 2 is a single-player game, so it's one to enjoy at your own pace.

Pick it if…

  • you want to run, jump and explore
  • you have time for a weekend project (roughly 6–20 hours)
  • you want to experience one of the PS1's defining games

Maybe skip it if…

  • you get frustrated by precise jumps and limited lives
  • you are looking for something to play with friends

What playing Croc 2 is like

Platformers are all about movement: running, jumping and timing your way across levels full of gaps, enemies and secrets. The best ones feel great to control within seconds and then slowly teach you to master every leap.

Tip for newcomers: Retro platformers often have limited lives and few checkpoints. Learn one level at a time, look for hidden 1-ups, and don't be shy about using a save feature when it is available.
