    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]

    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.

    Crash has had one bumpy ride on the Nintendo DS, and I had high hopes that last year's Crash of the Titans would lead to bigger and better things for the character. But Vivendi/Activision seriously dropped the ball on this one.

    I'm sorry, this game just really disappoints.

    Repetitive, ugly and very, very simple for most of its lifespan; Crash Bandicoot: Mind Over Mutant won't frustrate, but he won't entertain for long either.

    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… Full Review »

    I'm a fan of retro gaming but this 2D version of Crash Bandicoot is just awful.
