    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.

    This game is actuallly decent, but my main problem with it is that it just doesn't feel like Crash. Way too much repetitive combat and horrible character redesigns. This game started the downfall of Crash Bandicoot.

    Crash of the Titans is one of the weaker instalments of the Crash Bandicoot series. Whilst the gameplay is unique and ambitious, it failed to function to the potential. The games story is also underwhelming, with a version of Crash I could never really get on side with.

    Awful game. They totally changed everything that made Crash charming in the past. New design of cast is painful to see. Crash got tattoos and is mumbling like idiot. This game is also not platforming, just beat`em up with some generic mutants. Repetitive gameplay, almost linear lvls and jacking. Pile of turd this game is.

It gives you better combat, more variety, more lively bonus rooms and the new ability to hijack, also known as mind control, large opponents called Titans. There's 15 of these monsters in the game, 3 bosses included, and they each have 3 moves with 1 Mutants who have a secret move not listed and one whose move is acknowledged. The platforming is rare and not very impressive, but the combat and bonus rooms make up for it. The game is somewhat short, around 7 hours. But you have collectibles and a rating on how you do 3 tasks in each level. One is getting a high enough combo. Another is finding 3 hidden spy bots in the level, and the other is defeating a certain amount of enemy fodder the size of Crash. The cast have gained new re-designs. Thir looks have changed to be more modern and edgy and I believe they are improvements to reflect the better gameplay. The personalities are also interesting, but they lack some seriousness and some like Tiny get no boss fight out of story-directed cowardness which is a shame. The game isn't perfect, but it's a great change and refreshing improvement over past titles which, while good and great in their own ways, lacked good combat and other innovations which make this game improve in those ways, admittedly at the loss of some positives from the old games. Hopefully they'll fuse the best of both gameplay types one day. In the end, this is a great title for kids and gamers who want to play something unique, innovative and refreshing.… Expand

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

    Not even a whole new redesign can save the Crash series from becoming yesterday's news. Pros: Impressive graphics and glossy visuals, rich, colorful level design, and hilarious dialog. Cons: Hideous new design, sloppily confused controls and camera angles, and lacks the potential of way better platformers.

    However my biggest problems is that you don't have a choice to which move or upgrade you want to choose you just need to keep collecting those mojo until the game randomly gets you anything and the combat can get really repetitive at times especially when you forced to fight waves of enemies in one area. And the game is too short but at least it had replay value you can revisit levels and complete challenges and unlock skins and more upgrades to your moveset and I really enjoyed it.

    the soundtrack is great and the graphics looks good for a 2007 game and I love the visual style and the environments are pretty to look at.

    the main mechanic of jacking titans are cool at first. yes first, not even the second or the third time, it was getting boring having to slow down the pacing by watching crash moving in slowmo. its like you only add what you thought was cool, and not what's fun.

    furthermore, the other main mechanic, that being crash fighting moves, are so sluggish and boring. enemy's have unfair iframe, while crash are vulnerable for 2 seconds, in which enemies like the sludge could combo you to death. whoever decided to get rid of crash iconic, fun, and smooth spin for the slow punch combo, i hope you and your descendants will always be late to work, just how crash's punch are always late to hit.

    you encourage players to collect mojo, yet the ONLY power up in this game flings the enemies far away from crash, discouraging mojo collecting. how is that make sense?

    i really feel like this game was made by someone who only want to get paid, not someone who actually want to make a crash game. no single thought put into it. brainstorming session is just a brainstorming session guys, you don't have to put everything in the game without thinking for a second why you should or should not do it.
