  • Summary: In Crash of the Titans, players fight a nefarious plot hatched by Crash's arch nemeses Neo and Nina Cortex to mutate the local creatures into titanic abominations.

Using Crash's legendary mix of outrageous antics and daredevil bravado, players "hijack" enemies to take control of their action and use their fearsome powers against all manner of enemies. "Jack to Attack!" – Control, play and battle as 15 enemies, including titanic creatures such as Scorporilla, Ratcicle, Magamadon and Shellephant. While in control of a monster players can throw toxic stink bombs, call lightning down from the sky, fire lasers beams from their eyes or even impale enemies with a massive scorpion tail - use all of the creatures' special abilities to defeat Neo and Nina Cortex. Crash now has a powerful acrobatic fighting system that includes punches and flying kicks, multiple attacks and special counter moves. Players can power-up skills to unlock new attacks and blazing combos. Crash can now interact with his world in totally new ways. Players can wall-run, swing from ropes and flip off springboards – Crash can even toss Aku Aku on the ground to surf, skate, grind and shred. At any point in the game, a second player can join in the fun and play as Carbon-Crash to help unleash total chaos. In a totally innovative twist to co-op action gaming, Crash can even jack Carbon-Crash (or vice versa) for some hysterical Crash "jacked"-Crash mayhem. [Sierra Entertainment]… Expand

    It is commendable in a way since you know right from the outset that this is a game where you can just play. It is a lot of silly, good natured fun that, while not long in duration, provides a good time.

    You may have been expecting yet another "Crash" afterthought scheming to fleece you of another fiddy, but this is a rebirth well worth the investment. [Nov 2007, p.68]

    It's just above average, as its gameplay features a good dose of fun with clever platforming setups. The combat is a bit on the slow side and throws off the game's pace, but it gets better with time.

    It's a fairly sturdy, combat-heavy platformer with a good hook, but it lacks a real distinct attitude.
  5. GameShark
    67
    The game may not win any awards for length, or variety, but the game play it does offer is lots of fun, well acted and presented with a high level of quality.

    A good idea wrapped in a mediocre game.

    Basic stuff, plus some monster riding. Ho hum. [Christmas 2007, p.82]

    Tiene unos rediseños de personajes malos y tal vez no sea el mejor crash, pero es un muy buen juego de aventura con un gran sistema de combate.

    Un juego que es sinónimo de mi infancia, un buen juego casual para jugar de a dos como de a uno

    If there is any underrated game released in the past 5 years, it is Crash of the Titans for the PS2. First, let's dig into the story. TheIf there is any underrated game released in the past 5 years, it is Crash of the Titans for the PS2. First, let's dig into the story. The story of the game is that Coco is kidnapped and Crash (along with Aku Aku) must rescue Coco and stop Cortex from building yet another evil machine. The gameplay is a good turn for the Crash series and brings creativity to the table. Not only do you have your standard Crash gameplay, but you can use Aku Aku to control mutants. That even includes the bosses! There is not much wrong with the gameplay except sometimes the mutants can be hard to jack without dying instantly due to the AI always blocking your attacks. The issue isn't that bad because if you do run into a situation like this, you can find a power up nearby that gives you the ability to control the mutant in one hit. If there's another weak point in the game, it is definitely the character design. Like many gamers, I do not like the way Radical Entertainment completely changes Aku Aku and Uka Uka's look but the others seem fine to be honest. So, what's the final verdict? Crash of the Titans is NOT, I repeat NOT a bad game. Sure it doesn't resemble the classics, but there is a time when a formula gets a little bit repetitive. Just ask Nintendo.… Expand

La mayor parte de las críticas negativas hacia este juego son relacionadas con los diseños de los personajes y las personalidades de cada uno. Yo considero que este juego como juego independiente es bastante bueno porque tiene mecánicas interesantes con Los titanes, una banda sonora muy buena, y el diseño de niveles muy bueno. pero es cierto que como un crash es bastante deficiente y deja bastante que desear. A empezar los diseños le cambiaron el diseño de personajes. Le cambiaron el diseño de personajes drásticamente Y eso contrasta mucho con los diseños anteriores. Luego las mecánicas no son para nada parecidas a un juego de crash. Y tercer punto las personalidades. Alteraron también las personalidades de los personajes. en pocas palabras en líneas generales este juego es bastante bueno por sí mismo pero es un pésimo juego de crash..… Expand

    It's a disgrace that Naughty Dogs allowed someone to use the name of their beloved mascotte Crash bandicoot for this piece of crap. It'sIt's a disgrace that Naughty Dogs allowed someone to use the name of their beloved mascotte Crash bandicoot for this piece of crap. It's boring, pointless, ugly, and dull. If I see anymore of those blue balls that you're supposed to collect, I will go nuts! The first two Crash games on the PS2 were already bad, but the third and forth so-called Crash games are just incredibly bad. If you loved the great original Crash Bandicoot games on the PS, stay far away from this game!… Expand
