Crash Mind Over Mutant is the sequel to last year’s Crash of the Titans, a 6.5-rated title that didn’t sell well on any platform. This latest installment is fundamentally the same, which is not really a bad thing.

After all, Radical has made the most of the Crash persona by creating a large world overrun with traditional platforming challenges, a punchy and surprisingly satisfying battle system, the aforementioned gameplay mechanic centered on jacking into monsters, some good technology to boot and an overall presentation filled with cinemas that seem to focus on the comedy of Crash’s companions, some of it effective. Therefore, if the point is to reintroduce the Bandicoot to a new generation of players, yeah, I think newbies might actually like some of the simple, straightforward obstacles that lay in wait. Surely they’ll enjoy the colorful humor. And yet, Mind Over Mutant, like its predecessor, remains a platformer that falls well short of greatness, particularly for those of us seasoned enough to have seen all of this before, executed betterThe developer has brought back a number of classic Crash villains for Mind Over Mutant, including Dr. Neo Cortex and even Dr.

Nitrus Brio, who even points out to players that he was in the original game. There are some laugh-out-loud moments to be had as the surreal storyline, involving a seedy piece of technology that transforms the inhabitants of Wumpa Island into Cortex-controlled baddies, unravels.

Crash: Mind over Mutant is a platform video game developed by Radical Entertainment for the PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable (ported by Virtuos), Wii and Xbox 360. The Nintendo DS version of the game was developed by TOSE.

And Radical has had fun with the presentation, employing a number of different story-telling styles clearly inspired by popular American and Japanese animation. The tale powering the adventure isn’t going to attract the eyes of the Academy any time soon, but it does have its moments and it’s deeper and more compelling than anything we’ve seen in a Mario or Sonic game.
