A terribly average game with odd redesigns and horrendous AI so terrible that it sucks the fun out of any enjoyment you could have with this title. I sure do love getting dogpiled by five titans at once and barely being able to do anything about it. There is a glitch where you can get to max level fast that makes the game a bit more bearable, but by the time I found out about it, it was already too late and I should not have to abuse a glitch to make the game halfway tolerable to play. The Uka-Uka boss fight is also one of the worst bosses I have ever had the disgrace of going up against. Even if the enemy AI wasn't so terrible it still isn't worth playing simply because of boring the gameplay is in general and just the fact there are much better options to choose from. If you want to play a Crash game, play the original Naughty Dog titles, Twinsanity, or even Crash 4 instead. If you like action or beat 'em up games then play Bayonetta, Metal Gear Rising, Devil May Cry, or Yakuza instead. Literally, play anything else but this abomination.

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.

It's Mario Kart for those who do not have a Nintendo console for Mario Kart. In terms of mobile games, it's pretty fun and has a good cast of returning characters and newcomers. Personally, I hope they add E.Gadd and bring back R.O.B. However, the game was pretty greedy with its gatcha mechanics. With the gatcha largely removed, I would recommend starting the game if you haven't already. For those who do not want to spend any money on this game, I strongly suggest saving rubies only for characters, Mii costumes, or/and vehicles/vehicle parts that you want.

Even with Smash 4 and Ultimate being released. This game feels like the most complete Smash has ever been. With an amazing roster, decent Adventure Mode, lots of trophies to collect, and even game demos, this game has it all. The game can be somewhat slow and tripping is annoying, but for non-competitive players this is only a very minor complaint. With everything I listed above, the many fond memories I have of this Smash, and the best version of Final Destination, Super Smash Bros Brawl is an absolute must-play!

Besides a few small QoL improvements and very beautiful visuals, there isn't much to write home about this remake. The censorship and added enemies are absolutely pointless and they remove a part in the war chapter that honestly did not need to be taken out of the game. All of these critisisms and the fact this remake came out less than 5 years after the original release detract from the remake. Characters sound more soulless than they did in the original game too. Given the multiplayer servers are dead, I cannot properly compare it between the N64 version's multiplayer but this version's multiplayer may actually be better in my opinion based on what I have seen. Unless you've played the original and are curious to try this remake (I was for the longest time), I suggest playing the original game instead whether it is through Rare Replay or emulated.

Fantastic beat 'em up with perfect difficulty. Astro Boy controls well and his handful of moves are extremely fun to use and pack a punch when you attack enemies. The boss fights are really fun too and will test your skill and require you to get good if you want to complete the game. However, accessing the final level is rather confusing and I didn't enjoy that you needed to talk to specific characters in a specific order. It's what deterred me from completing this game for years as I didn't even know it existed when I first played it as a kid. That being said, it is still a fantastic game and easily the best game on the GBA.

What would be a perfect remake to the greatest kart racer of all-time was sabotaged by Activision's greed. The developers went above and beyond with adding all the Nitro Kart tracks and a few new ones too, a plethora of new characters, and tons of cosmetics for your karts and the characters. Problem is that you need to grind for a lot of that by collecting Wumpa Coins. To get lots of Wumpa Coins you either have the option of playing online or spending money on the microtransactions that Activision forced the developers to include. The online has problems with disconnecting and could be better set up in how it pits people together. I would not say I am bad at this game. I have beaten every Oxide ghost and most of them were fairly easy, but I can't count how many times I either got disconnected or got my ass kicked by people way better than me. This remake had potential to be a perfect 10/10 remake, but Activision's questionable and greedy choices prevented that. Even with it's glaring issues, this is easily worth the $40, especially if you haven't played the original.
