[edit] The plot

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Dr. Neo Cortex (Crash Bandicoot's sworn enemy) has joined forces with Spyro the Dragon's enemy, Ripto and they plan to get rid of both Spyro and Crash by sending out Ripto's monsters on the area. Aku Aku and Coco Bandicoot ask Crash to recover the crystals to save the world before Cortex does.

Meanwhile, the Professor and Hunter ask Spyro to close the portals and get rid of the monsters. Unforturnely for Crash and Spyro, they're tricked into thinking they're enemies. On Crash's world, the Riptocs are dressed as Spyro and on Spyro's world, they are dressed as Crash.

Crash and Spyro meet and engage in a bridge fight. But they realize they've been tricked. And a new friendship blooms between them. They join forces to defeat the two evil villains.

Not even Tiny Tiger, Crush, or Gulp can stop them, but Cortex uses his niece, Nina Cortex, to kidnap Coco and the Professor. Blinky informs Crash and Spyro what happened to Coco and the Professor. Spyro rescues Coco and the Professor while Crash distracts Nina. Finally, Crash and Spyro defeat Nina at her own game.

Coco has an idea: If they put a tracer on Cortex and Ripto, they would track them to their headquarters. Crash defeats Ripto, but he forgets to insert the tracer. Spyro defeats Cortex and he puts the tracer on him. Crash and Spyro reach their headquarters in outer space. As a team, Crash and Spyro defeat Cortex and Ripto. They thank each other as the games ends with a photo of Crash having Spyro in a friendly headlock, and the credits roll.

[edit] Gameplay

Crash and Spyro had to travel in 5 different worlds, collecting crystals and gems (In Crash's case) and defeat the monsters (Spyro's case) and fight the bosses. They had to play lots of minigames to win as well. You can even trade trading cards.

[edit] Reaction

While Ripto's Rampage is considered below average in the Crash series by fans, who deem the crossover "cheesy" and found the game far too short, the game has received mostly mixed reviews from critics.
