==Gameplay==
The gameplay in ''Croc 2'' has advanced considerably compared to the''Croc: previousLegend gameof the Gobbos''. Instead of simply finding six Gobbos in each level, the[[Croc]] playernow musthas nowto complete various tasks.
 
One of the many changed elements is the health system. Instead of the extra life system that Croc: Legend offrom the Gobbosfirst hadgame, Croc now has only one life and a [[Heart]] count. Any time that Croc takes a hit, he loses one Heart. The Heart count can be restored by finding Heart Tokens in the levels, or by collecting 100 crystals. The starting maximum count for Hearts is three, but the player can buy Heart Pots from Swap Meet Pete to be able to collect more Hearts.
 
In each level (except Golden Gobbo levels or Guardian levels), there are 100 clear colored crystals to collect. These crystals add to Croc's total amount of funds if he exits or finishes the level alive. There are also five Colored Crystals, each of different color that must be collected if the player wants a chance to get the Golden Gobbo for the level. After getting all of the Golden Gobbos for each level, Croc can enter a Golden Gobbo Door and try to get the Jigsaw Piece from the level. After getting all four of the [[Jigsaw Pieces]], Croc can enter the three hidden levels, which are remakes of the first three Villages full of [[Dantinis]].
 
Another new aspect is Swap Meet Pete's General Store. The store is owned by a large, anthropomorphic cat, named Pete. In this store the player can buy:
 
* Heart Pots, to increase their health
* Gummi Savers (North American release) or Jelly Jumps (Other Regions), to allow them to reach high places
* Clockwork [[Gobbo]], to reach otherwise inaccessible areas of a level.
 
Pete is also capable of teleporting [[Croc (Character)|Croc]] to other [[Gobbo]] Villages with the use of his Crystal Ball.
 
There are four Villages [[Croc (Character)|Croc]] must traverse through before reaching the end of the game, each with Gobbos of different personalities. The four Villages are the [[Sailor Village]], the [[Cossack Village]], the [[Caveman Village]], and the [[Inca Village]]. Each Village has five levels, two Guardians (with the exception of the [[Inca Village]], which has only two levels, and one Guardian), and one Golden Gobbo level. Once the fourth Village is finished, Croc then travels to Baron Dante's Tower of Power, and once the Jigsaw Pieces are assembled, a fifth Village can be unlocked The fifth Village is a corrupted version of the [[Gobbo]] Villages, created by Dante.
 
Interestingly, a Western-style Village, (dubbed by fans [[Cowboy Village]]) featuring Cowboys and Native Americans, was planned but never finished.
 
===Controls===
Note the following isapplies forto the PlaystationPlayStation version only, the PC version requires either a keyboard or (preferably) an X-input controller which can mimic the PlaystationPlayStation control scheme.
 
Movement:  -with Left Analog Stick: Allows for 360 degree movement at variable speeds,
depending on how far you push the stick.  A very light push or twitch will turn you in that direction
while staying on the spot.  I recommend sticking primarily to this method of movement.
 
-with D-pad: Up moves Croc forward, Left/Right turns Croc in that direction,
Down turns Croc in the opposite direction.  Due to the speed of movement in this game compared to the first Croc, this method is
more difficult to control, but it has its uses.
 
Side-step: [L1] or [R1]
 
Jump: [X].  Can move while airborne, but Croc will remain facing in the same
direction as when he left the ground.
 
Stomp: [X], then [X] again while in the air.  Smashes objects and enemies
underneath Croc.
 
Triple Jump: [X], then [X],[X] and hold until second jump is complete.  Final
button press must be made before the stomp is executed.
 
Hop & Flip: [L1] and [R1] together while moving forward.
 
Attack: [Square], Croc performs a tail swipe.  Can be done while in motion.
 
Jump Attack: [X], then [Square] while in the air.  Useful for attacking large
enemies.
 
Line 62 ⟶ 80:
press [Triangle] to use the item, if permitted.
 
Swim: Left Analog Stick or D-pad while in water.  You can jump while swimming
as well.
 
Swing from grates: Jump up underneath one and Croc will automatically hang.
Move around with the Left Stick or D-pad.  Press [X] to let
go, or simply move past an edge.
 
Swing from ropes: Jump towards a swinging rope to automatically grab it.  Press
[X] to let go again, ideally just before the peak of the
swing so that you still have a small amount of forward
momentum.  If you don't press any directional buttons (or the
Left Stick) as you jump off, then you should drop onto the
spot just below the tip of the rope at the end of its swing.
Line 82 ⟶ 100:
 
Initiate or skip dialogue: Press [Square].
