Crash of the Titans

Review of Crash of the Titans

Rating: E +10

Score: 7/10

Crash of the Titans is a game about Crash the Bandicoot saving his friends from the Evil Doctor Cortex.  The game is situated on an unknown island where Crash lives.  

When you first start the game, the difficulty screen pops up, which is the first problem. Out of the three difficulty settings, (easy, normal, and hard,) all of them are the same. This makes the game stale; game play even more stale. Though the game lacks any difficulty, it’s unique, featuring many different kinds of “Titans” that are controlled by Doctor Neo Cortex, the main villian. After enough abuse, a Titan will become dizzy and Crash can then use some magic to relief the Titan of Dr. Cortex’s control and use the Titan as his own. This gives the player a sense of invincibility because these Titans are strong enough to defeat most enemies in a single hit. The game is much too short, taking only about an afternoon to beat.

With talk of new, amazing games on the next generations of systems, it’s nice to see small names like Crash Bandicoot able to keep up, but I’m still waiting for a Crash game that’s similar to the good old Playstation 1 days, because that’s where he belongs.
