Crash, A New Beat-em Up
=======
Story
=======
It's a peaceful day until Dr. Cortex shows up to kidnap your sister. You end up traveling all over the island and defeating hordes of monsters to save her from his evil clutches and put an end to his latest plan to take over the world.
=======
Gameplay
=======
Crash of the Titans is more of a beat-em up then about platforming. The game tends to throw waves of enemies at you at rather regular intervals with some basic platforming throw in between these areas. The game largely focuses on the gimmick of this game which is taking over giant mutants, titans, created through mojo manipulation. The game does provide a rather decent supply of titans considering the overall length of this game and the number of levels.
On the downside the titans can prove a pain to deal with. You'll usually need to take over a smaller titan and work your way up, but the smaller titans have the annoying habit of blocking all of your attacks. The best way around this is with the spin attack, but that move can only be held for a small amount of time until you collect enough mojo to unlock the infinite spin ability. The other way to deal with the titans is to collect a titan mask that allows you to take over any titan after delivering a single attack on the enemy in question, but often times you won't have this option open to you and will need to spend several minutes trying to defeat the titan.
=======
Graphics
=======
A bit of a mix. The game is a bit lacking on detail, but this appears to be a design choice for the most part. Though, I do question why Crash has tattoos on his arms and no longer wears his gloves.
=======
Sound
=======
I can't say anything bad about the soundtrack. On the other hand it isn't anything exceptional either.
=======
Lasting Appeal
=======
The lasting appeal of this game is rather limited. I beat this game on normal mode and managed to find everything in less then 12 hours. There isn't anything to do after beating the game except trying it on a higher difficulty.

Love The Characters New Looks In This Game!
I've heard about this game. Its where you hijack those titan monsters and you take control of their powers! I mean how cool is that! The last game (Crash Tag Team Racing) was too short. But this game, with its 20 levels this will most certainly keep me busy! Oh and by the by, right when I get this game. I'll play it!

Sweet, a new Crash game!
I have been playing Crash Bandicoot games since I was three years old. I am now 13 and still love them and look forward to the new games. This one looks very fun. I can't wait. Ofcourse, my favorite games in the series are for the PS1 but i still enjoy the PS2 games. Well, I am looking forward to it!

Cool
I saw the preview for the game the other day and it looks new compaired to the other ones. There is a new type of graphics. It's kind of weird though for some reason Crash has tatoos. I think this game will be great.

nice platformer
Looks a bit better than the previous crash games which were alright, doesn't look like high replayability though. I think crash needs to work on his replay value
