Croc 2 is a video game released in 1999. It is the sequel to Croc: Legend of the Gobbos, developed by Argonaut Software between 1998 and 1999, and published by Fox Interactive. Croc 2 was released on PlayStation, Microsoft Windows and Game Boy Color. A Sega Saturn version was advertised but was never released. The plot revolves around Croc searching for his missing parents, and saving the Inventor Gobbo from a revived Baron Dante. The original soundtrack features the guitarist Simon Gosling.
Set several months after Croc: Legend of the Gobbos, the Dantinis plot the return of Baron Dante. An Inventor Gobbo is captured when he witnesses Dante's return.
Back at Gobbo Valley, Croc is playing at the beach, and finds a message in a bottle. The message explains that the senders are looking for their child. Croc is surprised and takes the message to King Rufus, who reads it and tells Croc that he needs to look for other Gobbos far off, who may be able to help him in finding the crocodiles who sent the message.
A large number of Gobbos make a see-saw. Croc stands on one end and a Gobbo pushes a boulder on to the other end to propel Croc to the distant mainland, where his search begins.
The gameplay in Croc 2 has changed considerably compared to the previous game. Instead of simply finding six Gobbo in each level, the player must now complete various missions.
One of the many changed elements is the health system; instead of the extra life system that Legend of the Gobbos had, Croc now has only one life and a heart count of up to 9; each hit Croc takes, or any time Croc falls into a bottomless pit or lava pits, takes away 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 (five in PC version), the player can buy Heart Pots from Swap Meet Pete to be able to collect more hearts.
