It's an improvement from Crash of the Titans, but even then, that's not saying much. There are some things that this game does right such as having an open world as opposed to the level-based design that was in Crash of the Titans, the cool and experimental cutscenes, and the character designs undergoing a slight improvement. Even though the changes were a step in the right direction, that doesn't mean the game is good. The combat is pretty much exactly like how it is in Crash of the Titans and the open world is very linear. With those things in mind, I found myself getting bored of the game pretty quickly. While getting 100% was a much better experience than it was in Titans, it still felt like a chore to do. Overall it is just a very mediocre game and made me realize that putting Crash in hibernation for nearly a decade was probably the best decision Activision could have made for the series.
