Combining the thrill of frenzied multiplayer combat with the straightforward nature of a classic side-scrolling platform title, Crash Commando is a combination of modern, sophisticated technology and traditional arcade gameplay. The player controls a commando soldier and navigates through the maps on foot and with a high-powered jet pack. Each map consists of two gameplay layers the player can seamlessly move between via portals in the environment. Enemies will attack from the sides, as well as from above and below. With a host of both multiplayer and single player modes included, players can enjoy Crash Commando either on or offline. [Sony]… Expand

    It's quickly shaping up to be one of my favorite games available on PSN at the moment. It's a great multiplayer title, with a solid online community already established, and some simple, but entirely addictive gameplay behind it.

    It’s always nice to get something original on the PS Store, and even though Crash Commando might not be new in concept, the game design is flawlessly executed and the sheer addictive nature of the gameplay and slick online access makes this a must-own PSN title.

    A fine addition to the PSN. The best value for money shooter around.

    Crash Commando is a superb, little release that binds classic, fast-paced 2D gameplay in a great looking package.

    With only four modes, no unlockable incentives to encourage multiple deployments (besides trophies), and a cartoony art style, Crash doesn't sound exciting on paper. But when you zip around, wasp-like, through the levels -- perching on platforms while grabbing out-of-reach body armor and taking potshots at the opposition -- the Contra-meets-TF2 gameplay gels perfectly, keeping you from setting the controller down. And really, that's all an online shooter needs to do.

    Ridiculously additive and fast-paced. Take the best of Contra and Unreal and you have a pretty solid idea of what Crash Commando is. Crash Ridiculously additive and fast-paced. Take the best of Contra and Unreal and you have a pretty solid idea of what Crash Commando is. Crash Commando is a great game to either pickup for a quick match between real-life events or for long periods of frag-fests. Plenty of online matches available at any hour of the day, making it an awesome game to pickup and play.… Expand

With an amazing community, and solid action, it's literally kept me coming back to it every single day since purchase in 2009.

    Arguably one of the best downloadable games on PlayStation. Crash Commando comes with great multiplayer and single player.

Fortunately though this game is old there still seems to be a healthy online community, although some names you will get killed by over and over again, offline there isn't too much to get your teeth into though. I laugh a lot when playing this.… Expand
