    Crash Commando is a retro-infused 2D shooter with a furious pace, responsive controls and an impressive arsenal. The single-player experience doesn't encompass much more than a boot camp though, but it's during the multiplayer bouts that this game really shines - especially with the gory visuals.

    A lack of a local multiplayer mode is a shocking omission, the audio is instantly forgettable (it's a predictable military score), and the single-player mode is boring as hell. But the online component, when you get a game with real people, provides great fun and the Team Fortress 2-style weapons and art style should appeal to most. Better than a kick in the groin.

    After all Crash Commando is a well directed game with an excellent potential. Meanwhile the short campaign leaves most of the success of this game to the on-line mode which may or may not be well frequented. It’s a fun experience and above all it’s an easy game to pick up and play thanks to the simplicity and instinctively qualities of the controls.

    An unpretentious blast of good-humoured bedlam – well-pitched towards the five-minute attention spans served by fellow PSN title Calling All Cars. [Jan 2009, p.94]

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

With an amazing community, and solid action, it's literally kept me coming back to it every single day since purchase in 2009. Although it has a steep learning curve, once you've mastered it, the sense of accomplishment is ecstatic and one to keep you coming back for more.… Full Review »
