  • Summary: In Crash Bandicoot: Mind over Mutant, a rejuvenated Neo Cortex is taking over the world one brain at a time! Cortex and N.

Armed with his quick-wits and lightening agility,In Crash Bandicoot: Mind over Mutant, a rejuvenated Neo Cortex is taking over the world one brain at a time! Cortex and N. Brio devise a new kind of evil - a text-messaging, do-anything device which controls both mutant and bandicoot minds. Armed with his quick-wits and lightening agility, Crash must free his friends, the titans and save the day. Not only does Crash gain the ability to control his enemies when he jacks them – now he can store his favorite monsters in his pocket, upgrade them and utilize their powers when they are most advantageous. Wumpa Island becomes a "free-romping" environment, allowing players to travel and explore through intersecting worlds, with different gameplay options available depending on what creature you've brought along for the ride. Your co-op partner is Crash's sister, Coco, playable for the first time in the cooperative mode. Not only does Coco make the game that much more inviting for girls to pick up and play, she also brings with her a new tactile "treasure hunt" ability. [Sierra Entertainment]… Expand

    Folks who are looking for a new Crash Bandicoot should be satisfied with Crash: Mind over Mutant. On the whole, the game is made for younger players, but it will also entertain more experienced users for a while.

    I will have to say that Crash: Mind Over Mutant is a very fun and innovative game that is easy to get into and play.

    I understand that Crash: Mind Over Mutant is good on the consoles. Not great, but good. It seems that a little more time and effort could have gone into the DS version, and it makes me sad.

    Mind Over Mutant gets more wrong than it gets right, leaving anyone who picks up the game with nothing more than the aching feeling of buyer’s remorse.

    I'm sorry, this game just really disappoints.

    Crash: Mind Over Mutant is a competent platformer. While it leaves much to be desired in terms of depth and level design, fans of the titular Bandicoot or starved DS platform lovers may enjoy it. Others should pass this one by.

    A very dull, poorly designed 2D platformer that fails to thrill or challenge. [Jan 2009, p.77]

    No, no and no; don't play this game. It has no personality, forgettable OST, the plot is stupid, and the design is just awful.

    Esta version es terrible. posiblemente la peor manera de jugar la formula Titans/Mutants. CASI TODO EN ESTA VERSION ES DE TITANS. LasEsta version es terrible. posiblemente la peor manera de jugar la formula Titans/Mutants. CASI TODO EN ESTA VERSION ES DE TITANS. Las canciones, los estilos, TODO. Intentaron poner el plot de mind over mutant original en solo dos escenas Y TODAS ESTAN FUERA DE CONTEXTO. El gameplay? Una completa mierda. Es solo golpear, patear y girar. Y cuando enfrentas a mutantes reciclados de Titans es simplemente quien se muere primero. Y ES ASI TODAS LAS 5 HORAS DE JUEGO. La musica aunque es un punto bueno, Son a veces molestas y refritos de titans. Aunque estos siguen con buenos puntos! Como la musica, Siguiendo los clasicos movimientos de naughty dog (Como el planchazo) y aunque tengan una animacion nefasta, Tienen buenos modelos 3D. Una mejora de Titans DS. Pero aun asi un asco total.

    This version is terrible. possibly the worst way to play the Titans / Mutants formula. ALMOST EVERYTHING IN THIS VERSION IS FROM TITANS. The songs, the styles, EVERYTHING. They tried to put the original mind over mutant plot in just two scenes AND THEY ARE ALL OUT OF CONTEXT. The gameplay? Complete **** It's just hitting, kicking and spinning. And when you face recycled mutants from Titans it's just the one who dies first. AND IT IS SO ALL 5 HOURS OF GAME. The music although it is a good point, They are sometimes annoying and refried from titans. Although these still have good points! Like the music, Following the classic movements of naughty dog (Like the flat iron) and although they have a disastrous animation, They have good 3D models. An upgrade from Titans DS. But still a total disgust.

    Why is this like this, I've been a crash fan since 2 and I tried to like this game. This game tried to be like the Crash games on the GBA andWhy is this like this, I've been a crash fan since 2 and I tried to like this game. This game tried to be like the Crash games on the GBA and it fails. Crash of the titans on the Ds is a 3d platforming brawler like the psp, and console versions but not mind over mutant. The psp version is like the console version while the ds version is a clunky, uninspired, 2d platformer. What were they thinking while making this, oh yeah, big cash cow money train. Don't buy this game, ether get the gba games or the console version… Expand
