I got this game for christmas and my entire family was hoping for something that embodied the old crash spirit. We had played most of the crash games and although likeing twinsanity i had found that it wasnt really crash. Teaming up with cortex wasnt right and the lack of a hub to choose levels from was strange but overall it was good. The newest game confirmed my fears that when naughty dog handed over its control of crash to these new companies things really changed. The fact that you had to first unlock and then combo to get his spin attack not to mention that he got stunned after performing said attack confirmed it. Crash of the Titans was a good game and would have been awesome if it wasnt crash. It just wasnt really fun for me as it wasnt crash and as such was sort of empty. Of course the game had good points and jacking titans was fun. The multiplayer was a nice touch and well made aswell. Overall if it wasnt a crash game it would have been five star. I just hope that they wont give crash a gun next game.

Crash of the Titans sees Crash return to his platforming roots: no kart racing or party-games are to be found, (thank goodness) Instead, the main selling point here is the ability to take control of (or "jack") some of the larger enemies in the game, and use them to rain destruction on the baddies. Now let me tell you something: I don't care who you are or what you do, but mind-controlling a giant monster and smashing things into tiny bits is fun. It's a universal truth. However, there are still some pretty large issues that keep this game from being the definitive Bandicoot return.
First of all, let's talk graphics. Sporting a brand new art design that's probably aimed at younger kids who've never heard of Crash before, Crash of the Titans is not a bad looking game in the least. The backgrounds have a clean, cartoony look to them.
In terms of presentation, the kooky humor of Crash and his gang is still there. The smaller minions actually say some pretty funny, if not dated, things.
For the most part, the game is as linear as past Crash games. In fact, it's probably more so - since the game is all about jacking mutants, combat is emphasized over everything else. So a typical level will be like this: run forward and punch normal guys, find a monster, jack said monster, use the monster to kill other monsters in a large circular arena, and then continue in a straight line. There really is no variation throughout the entire game, and that's where Crash starts to suffer. Repetition in a brawler isn't so bad if the actual gameplay is rock solid. Too bad that's not the case.
There aren't any real puzzles that go beyond the standard "shoot the target to open a door" sequences, and most of the unlockables or special items can be found just floating in plain sight: there's not much exploration at all.
Crash of the Titans is a good idea presented badly. This is a great shame too, because that good idea involves smashing small things with large monsters. Nonetheless, kids and die-hard Crash fans will still dig the game, and the co-op is perfect for two squabbling siblings who fight over the controller. It doesn't have the lasting power to make a spot in your collection, but it will make for a good rental. Let's hope that the monster-jacking idea is used better in a sequel someday.
