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.
