Cortex, dr. Nitrous brio, coco, and nina and also just because something's polished does mean the game itself is good imo the titan was kinda bad but have s little decent moments here and there

    This is the first main game in the series that does not add new major characters to the over-sized roster.
    The flag on top of Coco's house is a reference to the Canadian flag, only with the Crash paw print instead of the maple leaf. This is a reference to that Radical Entertainment is an Canadian company.
    Tiny Tiger's type of species is changed in this game. In the games up to this point, Tiny was a Thylacine (aka Tasmanian Tiger). However, he was changed into a Siberian Tiger for this game. His personality was also altered.
    This game originally was gonna be a new reboot of the franchise however due the bad criticism the second (Mind Over Mutant) would be the last game of them.

    I feel like Koala Kong should've had Tiny Tiger's role. It was missed opportunity. I mean, Tiny had Koala minions & the whole level takes place in an excavation like the Kong's boss battle. Plus, it was mentioned that Kong was based on various musclebound celebrities like Schwarzenegger and Stallone. Ironically enough, one scraped idea for Twinsanity was for Koala Kong to have a Mr. T-like voice, which Crunch ended up getting. Koala Kong being a Mike Tyson parody would be a step up from being.... nothing. As seen in Nitro Fueled they've settled on him being the Hulk, I guess... but we already have N. Brio.

      Yeah I thought that would have been better too (though never noticed the too-good-to-be-true link with the minion and level theming, good point there). Plus it would have really diverged the two musclehead characters. Tiny would be more feral and childlike, like Cortex's loyal guard dog, while Kong would be a more sophisticated muscle, with a soft spoken and even slightly wimpy personality.

    I liked Wrath of Cortex…
    I think I get what they were going for with the shadow puppet intro. The first part with the rabbit was to show how Crash was a failed experiment that ended up making Cortex’s life hell. The scene with the turtle is, I think, a jump to roughly the present day. Uka uka most likely taught Neo and Nina about Mojo mutation, probably helping to create the ray gun that Neo used in that scene. The turtle represents how the process didn’t work as expected at first. But Nina then figured out what was wrong and fixed the ray gun, demonstrating it’s true power by creating the Magmadon, Battler, Ratcicle, and what looks like two unused Titans. After that, Neo took over the process to create Titans of his own design. But it also foreshadows Nina being the real main antagonist.

      Tiny Tiger was (and still is now that Activision (yes, ACTIVISION, of all companies) rightfully revived the Crash Bandicoot franchise so they could make it one of the best games of the franchise along with Titans despite its nitpicks, more on that asap) an Australian character with a caveman accent! And as much as I love Crash of the Titans, I’ll have to admit, they were doing a (minor) disservice by being unfaithful towards that guy with the awkward voice and design (even by the high yet underrated standards of this game’s characters) and he could have easily been replaced by Koala Kong because his boss fight is just so similar!

      @@Fred5107TM 1. Well then, if you reviewed games like the Pac-Man World Series, then there’s a good chance you’d stick with the home console versions (which makes the reviews all the more positive, just like they need!)
      2. Oh good. But then if there really is a difference between blandness and actual badness, we’d like to hear about the things you love about the ND games (Crash 1 for the PS1 to the least extent because the N-Sane Trilogy, even when comparing it to Crash 2 & 3 for the PS1 when they got their N-Sane remakes which already set the bar very high, saw improvement, especially when they decided to make Tawna Bandicoot a badass which is why she became playable in It’s About Time). I know WCOTTIAG isn’t all about good things to be said about Naughty Dog, and I respect that you may not be the biggest fan of these games, but in order to make sure people don’t think you actually think the Naughty Dog games are Barry even a 5:10 at best, I think it’s important to take the good with the bad.
      3. I know how it feels to make a nearly (if not completely or over a) decade-old video. Which is why we would be more than happy to see a review-a-thon of the rest of the Crash Bandicoot games along with ExoParadigmGamer (re: Remake or Rebreak: Crash Bandicoot (PS1 Vs. N-Sane Trilogy Series) and Why Crash of the Titans is A DISGRASE TO GAMING!!! - A Whiny Bitch Gamer Rant-view), and with the latter said, I’m glad there’s people like you, AntDude and WumpaLewis giving Crash of the Titans an openly positive review for trying something new (regardless of the flaws it may have, just like even the best Crash games like the Crash 2 & 3 (& their updated version aka the N-Sane Trilogy), It’s About Time, Crash of the Titans DS and Crash Nitro Kart (its predecessor, the home console version and especially the handheld versions) even if it may not appeal to everyone, which is so unlike Sonic Forces which tried to appeal to every single part of the Sonic fandom which is exactly what else to it being a disaster, even by 2010s Sonic standards.

    Very interesting bro. I admire what you're doing. A majority of Crash fans mainly only look at the PS1 games and Twinsanity as the "definitive" Crash Bandicoot experience. While I never played Titans or Mind over Mutant, looking back at them now, u can see that they at least TRIED to make the Bandicoot relevant. These two games aren't the worst things ever, and it's not the end of the world if someone gives a fair and positive review of it.
    Even Caddicarus kinda wrote this game off as "the Crash version of Sonic Boom".
    Always nice to see people like you who don't hold back especially with the CRASH community watching. Kinda bummed you're still in the minority with this video because a lot of people STILL hate this game, and this experiment with Crash was the final one before Crash went to Skylanders briefly, and returned with the N'Sane Trilogy, and returned again with "Its About Time", but hopefully people will have a different take on Titans after seeing this video. I know I sure will...

    I agree with you that Crash of the Titans is a good game, but I think you were too hard on the original trilogy in this review. Calling the ps1 games "the most bland in tge series" is a huge misnomer. Naughty Dog got as much character as they could out of those games with the PlayStation, they have some of the best animation on the platform. You don't have to attack the original Crash games to make your point that CoTT is good. CoTT wouldn't even exist without the success of that original trilogy. I enjoyed CoTT when I first played it back in middle school, and I still enjoy it for what it is, but I also enjoy the originals for almost entirely different reasons. You say that no one was saying that CoTT should be the standard for Crash Bandicoot going forward, but that's exactly what Activision was doing when they released the game. I don't blame them for trying something different, the gaming industry at large was going through some huge growing pains during that time, but ultimately their attempts to make Crash "more interesting" didn't pay off and that's why Crash Bandicoot went dormant for nearly a decade. Again, I don't hate CoTT, but there's a reason that the series returned to the gameplay style of the ps1 games. They're just DAMN good games for the platforming genre, whereas if you want a good beat 'em game there are arguably better options than CoTT.

    • @Fred5107TM
      @Fred5107TM  2 года назад +3

      It's fine for you to feel that way, but here are a few clarifications.
      1. Spyro the Dragon released on PlayStation as well, and I would argue that has way more personality. I wasn't arguing against animations, or saying that its flaws make Titans good, but that the characters themselves aren't that great, and the gameplay is extremely limited (which also isn't the case with Spyro). Although, Clancy Brown's Cortex is great.
      2. Activision did not publish Crash of the Titans, Sierra did. The game also sold well and received a sequel. The game was an experiment with more modern game design, as releasing a game like Crash 1-3 in 2007 may have failed. This is why Radical focused on new ideas. Relying on nostalgia in the long term would be Crash's downfall.
      3. The original trilogy are not bad games, but they are considered by the general public as the definitive games in the series, which I disagree with. It also doesn't mean I don't play and enjoy the original games. I have nostalgia for them as well, but it is completely disregarded in this video.

    I'm probably the biggest crash fan girl in Brazil and even I like this game. But, as a kid... I wanted nothing to do with it! There was a huge hiatus by the time I was in my teens and I gave this game a try at age 16 after rejecting it back when I was 11. I like this game, gameplay wise, it's better than mind over mutant. The crash humour from twinsanity is still there, the controversial designs are strange, especially uka uka and tiny. However, ignoring that, the game is fun to play and has an entertaining story.

  • @fakeninja4447

    I absolutely love this game. Such good gameplay and level design. The only things I really do hate about Titans is the character redesigns (I genuinely think they are laughably bad to this day) and the generic childish comedy in the cutscenes. The comedy wasn't funny to me as a 9 year old either (I even prefered Twinsanity's adult humor which I couldn't even understand most of at the time), and the character redesigns (at least Aku Aku, Uka Uka and Tiny) might be the worst I've seen and overall just completely unnecessary. If they wanted to remake every single aspect of Crash Bandicoot, I do think they should've just made a new series. Otherwise it's like making a linear story game and calling it GTA, of course that's gonna piss people off, what did they expect? I only think the REdesigns of already existing characters were bad however. The titans had amazing design, each unique with clever names and combinations of existing animals. Overall, this game is great, and the hate it got was only like 1% deserved. Sad that the overwhelming majority of people couldn't see the amount of love that was put into this.
    22:45 Nice one. That would certainly add a bit of extra spice to the game to say the least.
    IMO Titans is a solid 8/10, which is higher than I'd give most other Crash Bandicoot games. The only ones I think are better and/or more fun to play are Warped and Twinsanity. Great review, I agree with almost everything!

    Good review! I agreed with allot with what you had to say about Titans. I think it's a fun beat em' up plattformer and it's personaly one of my favorite games in the series. I strongly disagree with what you had to say about the orignal trilogy though. Those games are anything but bland to me and I don't think they're overrated at all. They're classics that still hold up to this day imo

It’s the same case here or with licensed games like SpongeBob. People go into these movies and games like Titans looking for things to criticize instead of with an open mind. The same can be said for modern SpongeBob too. It’s really idiotic

    Great review. I would consider the Titans games as Crash spinoffs. Kinda like how Paper Mario, Mario & Luigi, and Mario vs Donkey Kong aren't cannon to the main line Mario games. It's ok to dislike this game for the gameplay but saying that it's an abomination is like saying Paper Mario shouldn't exist because it doesn't play like Super Mario Bros on NES. If this game ever does get a remake, then I recommend them to add time trials and gems (for breaking all boxes). Maybe even earn a gem for collecting a certain amount of mojo in each level (kinda like how you gotta collect wumpa fruit for the gems in Crash 4). 13 year old me used to go back and replay levels just to collect mojo and watch that counter go up to infinity, I think I was at 2 trillion mojo. I don't have the game anymore unfortunately, I was forced to give away my PS2 to my cousins in South America. Thankfully I still have my Wii, so I can always rebuy this game. Speaking of Crash 4, what are you're thoughts on that game? I know it's a hard game but I did enjoy playing as Dingodile and Cortex plus World 2 is based off of the construction area from Titans

      Sadly, it’s one of the most overlooked Crash Bandicoot games (Crash of the Titans for seventh-gen home consoles (yes, that also includes the PS2 version because it pretty much lasted throughout the entireties of the generations eras of gaming between the fifth and eighth from the 2000s - early 2010s when it was just there with only so little games considering it’s age, unless the eighth Gen home consoles turn out the longest-running consoles since the PS2 as of the late turn of the 2030s) and the DS are underrated in different ways. The console version because of all the negativity surrounding it and the DS version because despite having the best of both worlds (the gameplay styles of CotT for home consoles and Crash Bandicoot 1, 2, 3 & 4 which I also love with a passion (let alone the N-Sane version of CB1 compared to thr PS1 version and with the inclusion of the REAL CB4 aka It’s About Time as opposed to The Wrath of Cortex which I find a mixed bag).

    I loved this addition to the series. I too am a naughty dog fan but I always saw each installment a new experience and new designs. I played it on ps2 slim and I thought the tattoos were pretty cool. Something a bit flashy but not excessive. The gameplay was enjoyable but also frustrating. But that's only bc I was learning how to play games the intended and not intended way. Foodchains were a bit repetitive and some attacks/combos were suffocating. Some move sets could of used more work to make the combat a bit more flexible. Mind over Mutants improved on that adding hidden combos that improved speed while adding counter attacks

It was by far the most innovative game in the series for its time, and I feel like Radical Entertainment just put so much love and passion into the game. Heck, its main mechanics and gimmick of controlling enemies even seem to have inpsired that of Super Mario Odyssey. so as a fan of both series, I find that LIT!

    The silhouette animation at the beginning is not supposed to be a 100% literal depiction the events of this game or the previous games, hence the extremely stylized visuals and no dialogue. It's purpose is to tell you that Crash is a mutant created by Cortex, but completely different to the titans created after Nina fiddles with the raygun. It also tells you Nina will be a major villain this time around.
