    It is commendable in a way since you know right from the outset that this is a game where you can just play. It is a lot of silly, good natured fun that, while not long in duration, provides a good time.

    You may have been expecting yet another "Crash" afterthought scheming to fleece you of another fiddy, but this is a rebirth well worth the investment. [Nov 2007, p.68]

    It's just above average, as its gameplay features a good dose of fun with clever platforming setups. The combat is a bit on the slow side and throws off the game's pace, but it gets better with time.
  4. Game Informer

    With its juvenile humor and low difficulty this is probably targeted for kids, but it's a decent holdover until "Super Mario Galaxy" comes along. [Nov 2007, p.142]

    A delightful, brilliantly realised platformer, Tians would have scored higher were it not for its reliance on competition. [Nov 2007, p.80]

    It's a fairly sturdy, combat-heavy platformer with a good hook, but it lacks a real distinct attitude.
  7. GameSpy

    Crash might be getting on in years for a videogame mascot, and his latest outing falls well short of classic status, but a few disarming new tricks prove he's not over the hill just yet.
  8. GameShark

    The game may not win any awards for length, or variety, but the game play it does offer is lots of fun, well acted and presented with a high level of quality.

    A good idea wrapped in a mediocre game.

    Crash of the Titans is fun, but it's really just platforming by the numbers. Nothing more, nothing less.
  11. PTGamers
    65
    Crash of the Titans is an interesting proposition for platform fans. As a new game in the series, its star loses a bit of shine and character, due to the emergence of titans.

    Basic stuff, plus some monster riding. Ho hum. [Christmas 2007, p.82]

    To me, Crash Bandicoot always has been in good games, apart maybe the Bash Party ones. I never understood complains about the Wrath of Cortex and Twinsanity. I taught they were as good as the first ones on the PSX. I’m saying this because I wasn’t waiting for the series’ saviour like many other people. I’ve tried both the Wii and PS2 versions and both versions are really nice games. I personally think it’s a shame that none of the media paid attention to it. I mean Crash of the Titans has been release 2 days ago and it’s basically impossible to find any review on it on the web. They’re all too busy babbling about Smash Bros and Mario Galaxy… like these games needed any more exposure. Now, comes a good game that will completely be left unnoticed. First I was sceptic about the new beat’em up style putting aside the platforming I always loved about Crash. On the other side, knowing that Radical was developing it, I wasn’t really worried. The beat’em up direction works just fine. The level design is neat. The co-op in the main story mode is a lot of fun. And Crash’s makeover with tattoos is fun too! If you’ve always been a fan of Crash and always played on Sony’s consoles, I recommend you buy the PS2 version. The Wii one is good too, but the controls are fun 10% of the time, for the rest you’ll be missing your dual-shock!… Full Review »

    Now this game is fun on the hack and slash category...... BUT this is a crash game NOT spiral knights. Honest im a HUGE crash fan, one of my early gaming experiences were by crash. As an old crash player this is what i say: Crash of the titans is the fyy? on crash industry, by removing fun platforming that was GOLD in old crash game's, it is nowhere fun as the oldies and definitely is not a game for liker s of old crash. Sure it has it's funny moments, some funny cut-scenes etc but the game itself is missing the soul. Crash. has died on my heart, not the old one. but the new one on the beginning Don't get me wrong, if you haven't herd about old crash, then you probably will have some good time's with it. but if you want some good crash, head over to psn store and buy all first 3 crash games.… Full Review »

    Being a Crash fan since the series began, I am glad to say this new incarnation of Crash is excellent. It excels in areas Crash never focused on before. It gives you better combat, more variety, more lively bonus rooms and the new ability to hijack, also known as mind control, large opponents called Titans. There's 15 of these monsters in the game, 3 bosses included, and they each have 3 moves with 1 Mutants who have a secret move not listed and one whose move is acknowledged. The platforming is rare and not very impressive, but the combat and bonus rooms make up for it. The game is somewhat short, around 7 hours. But you have collectibles and a rating on how you do 3 tasks in each level. One is getting a high enough combo. Another is finding 3 hidden spy bots in the level, and the other is defeating a certain amount of enemy fodder the size of Crash. The cast have gained new re-designs. Thir looks have changed to be more modern and edgy and I believe they are improvements to reflect the better gameplay. The personalities are also interesting, but they lack some seriousness and some like Tiny get no boss fight out of story-directed cowardness which is a shame. The game isn't perfect, but it's a great change and refreshing improvement over past titles which, while good and great in their own ways, lacked good combat and other innovations which make this game improve in those ways, admittedly at the loss of some positives from the old games. Hopefully they'll fuse the best of both gameplay types one day. In the end, this is a great title for kids and gamers who want to play something unique, innovative and refreshing.… Full Review »
