Another case of a game that I loved as a kid, and when coming back to it after growing up I realize it's not that good. In fact, my biggest complaint with this game is how cheap it feels. Everything about it feels low budget (Note that it doesn't mean it's bad), and you can notice it very early on.

I still like the funny cutscenes, the mutant/titan mechanic, and the platforming ain't that bad either. It's just a mediocre but still decent game, and mostly aimed at kids, which would explain my less than stellar experience with it after over a decade.

SCORE: 6/10

better than Of The Titans, but also not really. Surfing's gone, you're gonna see way too much backtracking, but combat's better by 1 minor improvement, and, holy shit, check this out, you can now JUMP with the mutants! Great. Probably one of the game I played the most on my childhood, alongside DB Tenkaichi 3, Naruto Ultimate Ninja 5, Ben 10 Protector of Earth, etc; but, contrary to these 3 cited, thinking about this game today kind of pisses me off. Matters not the obvious reason, but the important fact that it sucks and doesn't really make it fun, 85% of the time, much like its predecessor. What I will give it, though, is that it's got some fun animated cutscenes. Silly humor is the best thing in these Crash games and that's both good and terrible. This game does it well, too, and the aforementioned cutscenes aren't really special in theirselves, but they make for a good and fun break from late 2000's uncanny Crash (which design is somehow better than OTT's, as so are most of the characters/mutants. Cortex still looks abominable). OST is also better than last time. So, yeah, I said to "consider playing Mind Over Mutant instead" on the Of The Titans review. Do yourself a favor and play neither. Maybe Tag Team Racing. That one's fine, it sucks in a good way. These 2 are close to terrible.
