You didnt mentioned, that when you wear a costum of a specific Titan, all of these specific titans can get knocked out with ohne hit, what makes it extremly nice to have :) (Especially at titans like the scorparilla)
@@WumpaLewis Uuuuh i don't think that really matters, so him "forgetting" to talk about it is no big deal and might've wasted time. Leaves some stuff to talk about the mom vid too, like the music in this game. MY GOD!
U need to get into the mind of a child to understand why this game is a masterpiece. Child sees a badass enemy: i wish i could play as him Crash of the titans: you can.
Let me guess, it’s because of the opening cutscene when Crash Bandicoot cried his ass off after he had to deal with Tiny Tiger’s change in character, design and voice (otherwise, he would enjoy the game itself as he should)! Or maybe it’s because “life’s a bitch”! XD
The level design, the ambience and the landscapes are absolutley TOP TIER and look came out from a triple A game. The art department was the best on this game. I still remember lots of places on this game and u remember as a kid i was so fascinated by the world they achieved to make, i lost hours going through the concept art with an open mouth. The monsters was cool too and rhe gameplay wasn't so boring (try to play in hard mode, it's so fun). I'm honesty sure if this was a non crash game it would have been praised. People criticizing this game only look at Crash design and chamge of gameplay style, but no one ever praise it for what it actually is: a good game with a fun gameplay and amazing art.
This is was my first 3D game as a kid, so my mind was rushing with the possibilities to move freely through the landscape "could I go at the waterfall?","can I swim on the beach", etc. and the artstyle of it only increased this rush of possibilities, still holds deeply in my hearts only through design and art alone
I know right, it's like one of my first games and i loved it, and still do to this day eh, and honnestly the other crash didn't seemed as great as this one (when i was a child).
This was the second crash game I played and I knew it would have recieve backlash because the first one was twinsanity and this was nothing like it. However I still enjoyed it even though I was never a fan of talking crash.
Wtf people are still talking about this game, that is awesome I’m 16 turning 17 and I grew up playing this game I’ve finished it like 20 times and even played it last year!
Friend I am at my 20s and played this shit to completition unlock all costumes, all concept art and everything, I had like 2000000s something mojo, this game was the shit and I Also played Tag Team Racing on the Ps2, the one where you can combine with other to shoot others and destroy. My fav mutant was the Scorporilla, mofo just destroyed everything even other scorporilla.
This game is a masterpiece, I was only a kid when I first played this, I’m 20 now, but I can gladly say that this game is one of the best crash games to date, the titans are all diverse and well designed, the addition little features like outfits, voodoo dolls, etc, are well thought of, the level design is superior to any other plat-former, the bosses are actually bosses and best of all, crash and aku aku actually look good, people just don’t like change 😂
Yeah I don’t get it. I grew up with Crash Bandicoot since the PS1 and had all the games since I was born in the 90’s. Played them all the way through ‘till this day and still love them. I saw this game when it first came out, it was different and all but damn… I literally enjoyed these games as well! It was a nice change and different way to play it so it was great! I’m a big fan of the Crash games but I don’t get why other fans would hate this either.
I remember playing this game with my dad, because yeah there's local 2 player co-op and everytime i saw a mutant i was scared and hid in his backpack so i could possess the mutant he knocked out. So my gameplay was basically hide and then fuck everything up while HE did the hard work. An even sweeter detail, years later, i still have my ps2, and i play this game with my little sister, and she does the exact same thing i did back then... Pure nostalgia
Admittedly, some redesigns were fucking awful. Tiny Tiger anyone? But most of them either had modernised or updated ones that looked good for the character. Hell, N-Gin looked identical to his predacessor, minus the personality change. And N-Brio was fucking great.
The redesigns can absolutely burn in hell, especially Uka Uka looking like he went through a wood chipper. But aside from that, while it wasn't a completely shit game, it completely alienated the fanbase who loved the series for it's fantastic platforming that we got in the first four titles. This is an entirely different game with a Crash Bandicoot skin.
That it is my friend. And Aku was Crash's cappy. Actually he Was Crash's star power UP. Its funny to think how far this series went. Also this games did 3d platforming better than Sonic did, and they were on the same console, Sonic is Crash's senior btw.
@@mariowario5945 idk, mate, I remember Daxter having quite a lot of platforming, while Crash... He had some, but the game itself was more about fighting and not traversing levels.
How can this game be disliked by the community? What exactly makes them think that Crash can only create one genre of games ? That's such a closeminded thought This was a great, unique and very fun game. The battle mechanics were so clever. It was never getting boring. It was just the best crash game imo. I'm not sure of how much truth there was at the intro but it triggered me for sure XD....
You just unlocked a core memory I never knew I had until now. I finished this game over 5 times as a kid and I remember really enjoying it too, but for some reason it just got completely wiped out of my memory over the years. Definitely gonna re-play now and great video.
I hope they make a similar game with Crash, because this was so fun and I loved it on my PSP haha, which was a long time ago obviously, but I do hope they consider a game like this in the upcoming years
The boss fight at 7:32 I had a hard time with too. I have a story of my own. Me and my older sister were playing and we both died the exact same time we beat the boss battle. So it played the cutscene and I was so happy I beat the level but then when the cutscene finished it just loaded up the level again.
This would probably only be a guilty pleasure for me nowadays, because back then this was the only crash game ive played in my ps2 along with mind over mutants, i got shocked the moment i saw the most famous titles. 2000s Brazil gaming, everyone.
You forgot to mention the game soundtrack, which is amazing, I have to check it out again but I can't remember any bad song, it was perfect for this game. The concept art, the scenery and overall design was amazing too, like no other game really, it had a mysterious vibe unique to it that inspired me a lot when I was a kid, the titans, the landscapes epic proportion, just amazing.
YEEESS, that's something that people dont point that much, for me you can say everthing about the game, but you have to agree that this game has style. I would really love if some recycle the whole aesthetic of it
The level design, the ambience and the landscapes are absolutley TOP TIER and look came out from a triple A game. The art department was the best on this game. I still remember lots of places on this game and u remember as a kid i was so fascinated by the world they achieved to make, i lost hours going through the concept art with an open mouth.

Had alot of fun playing this as an OG crash fan. I feel alot of fans who hated this game were my age of teens n early adult years n had that typical AVGN personality to any game that dared to be different for better or worse. I felt the hate towards Titans wasn't deserved, even back when I was a kid to teens where I watched various versions of Popeye, Felix, Mickey, TMNT, Tom n Jerry there were so many eras of them and I did talk to my friend at school one time that video game series that we once loved are gonna go through changes. It wasn't till internet era when TMNT 2003 was out it was the first time I heard complaints about a show not being the same because it's not like the nostalgic 80s. There was even teens of my age who didn't like 2003 TMNT but I loved all versions of TMNT (and yeah I love 2012 and RISE) I guess I just have a strong tollerance for alot of changes in my beloved franchises. All good things have to end or be changed, even comics do the same thing and for me some series I feel are better in comic form by well respected creators or original creators who take theirs or existing franchises and expand upon them with growth and not have to deal with censorship or just what you have to do for syndicated shows. Sorry was going too far off topic but the point stands that I still love this game even the controversial changes don't bother me. The game is fine and the hate is overexagerated and at times I find it hilarious like im laughing at a bunch of clowns who still scream up a whiney fuss over this game at how it tarnished their childhoods. I wish I was joking but some man children are still like this and I'm like "dude just calm down it was nearly 2 decades ago, gotta move on mate."
A neat detail of the Wii version is that in the pause menu where you can see the mutant's abilities, they show the motions with that mutant holding a Wii remote and nunchuck which looks goofy and i love it.
is it just me or this Tiny reimagination was made based sort of on Mike Tyson? I mean, besides the way that he speaks, on the previous games he was that menacing character and all that stuff, and now it still is, but is just trying to make shit right, idk to be honest
I played almost every single crash game and I loved this game. I didn’t know it received backlash from people who loved Crash. I considered it one of the better games in the series.
@Deanos22 bruh, twinsanity was a buggy half assed game, crash of the titans wasnt perfect, but it was more polished than twinsanity and had more replay value.
@Deanos22 as someone who loves twinsanity, you are entirely wrong. Twinsanity WAS buggy and unpolished, it had an entire section missing because it was so rushed, this game was full, it was clean and fun to play, it didn't play like a classic crash bandicoot game, it did its own thing but it was a fun game
@Deanos22 i loved the world of titans, it was more warped and it was a very exaggerated design, even though i didnt like beat em ups. also twinsanity had over 500 glitches, cuz they scrapped the original plot and made a whole new one so alot of content got cut. the game can be beaten in less then 3 hours which really sucks cuz it was a fun semi open world
Short answer: Yes, it is. Long answer: Indeed, it's a good game but it's not like any other Crash Bandicoot game, I would call this a spin-off of Crash Bandicoot, a game that takes place in the universe of Crash Bandicoot, but completely different to any other. I like this game, and I like the old ones.
i have so many fond memories of playing this with my older brother, glad i got to revisit those memories a little thanks to this video. appreciate it mate
I like this Game. The Locations, Missions and The whole Idea with the titans was new and fresh. But it isn't Crash, we know and love. I like the game for being diffrent.
As much as I love the original if they did the same thing 20 times people get bored. You need to throw in a few games that are completely different and out of the box and who knows it might get hate but I'm sure like this thousands of people will love it to death aswell
@@RubberDinghyBro you will be surprised at the amount of people that got into the series and are loyal fans now because of those games. including me. this was like the gen z version of crash.
@@flex9663 yeah I started gaming around 20 years ago, my first ever game was crash 2, been hooked ever since and enjoyed nearly every game I think. I actually enjoyed the titan games for what they were just not as much as the originals
Knowing that Aku Aku in this game was voiced by Greg Eagles, who of course is Grim in The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy from Cartoon Network, was a huge nostalgia hit, and especially teaming him up with Crash felt like an episode of the show. And also, John DiMaggio as Uka Uka. Since most of the dialogue was pop-culture related, the game could've gotten away with him saying "Bite my evil wooden mask" as reference to Bender from Futurama, one of DiMaggio's best roles.
I think this game had beautiful concept art and set design. I especially loved the one with the locker room/bathroom where the ratcicles were showering lol
CotT is definitely a bit of an underrated childhood favorite of mine. I had a lot of fun playing it in co-op with friends back in the day. I get it's not the Crash game people wanted, but I personally found it to be really engaging with all of the Titans who were really fun to control imo. Oh, and the music is surprisingly good as well!
When I was a kid, the change in gameplay and tone never bothered me and even now, it doesn't. I love this game. It's never left my top 5 of the series. Easily my favorite beat em up game
I would still play it no matter what. Except that I lost my old PS2. And now have a dumb PS3. And can't tell if it's backwards compatible. Even if it is maybe it still won't work if it does then god am I happy.
You unlocked a very well hidden memory of mine with this game. I must have been like 6-7 when I played this game and I would just play the first level over and over again cause I didnt know how to play it. Might have to try and play it now
The fact this video ended up being your most popular is a wonderful achievement of its own. Congrats on almost 1M views. Btw this game was also my childhood and I still genuinely think it's an underrated gem of nostalgia. Especially Mind Over Mutant, that game was fun too but sadly wasn't as good as COTT (Crash of the Titans' acronym). I hope that one day they continue revisit some aspects from the Titan Duology and put more mutants in to their future games.
Was playing that game when my uncle bought me a PS1 when I was 4. Was only playing when I was finished playing outside so maybe 20 mins per day before or so. Recently bought a PS1 and PS2 last week and I swear graphics was way worse than what I imagined it to be but I love it just as much as I did as to when I was a kid. Felt so nostalgic playing it again.
Crash - I think he looks decent, but I do miss the gloves. Coco - Super cute, but my favorite is the Mind Over Mutant design (yes, sacrilegious, I know). Aku Aku - I never was a fan of the simplistic blocky mask, so I actually enjoyed this version. He looks wise and like an ancient shaman mask. Crunch - Not a fan, looks like an OC. Cortex - Looks good, more mature and laid back. Nina - My favorite design. Fitting for a bossy young business woman straightup stealing her dad's chair. Uka Uka - Also a favorite, looks very demonic, although I wish he acted a little less goofy at times. Would be perfect with a lower jaw of sharp teeth. N. Gin - Good. Nothing special, but nothing wrong either. Tiny - Good god what happened here?
More than just looking cute, the skins are actually a powerup. You can one hit KO the titan you're wearing the skin of, or one hit kill the minions if it's a minion skin. So spike and magmadon are pretty useful because they continue to appear well into the late game, or if you know one is going to appear the Scorporilla or Shellephant being able to be controlled with a single punch is incredible.
For me, it's the opposite. When i played this game, I instantly loved it as a kid, I finished EVERYTHING UP even the Valentine's day skin I did 100% and then I searched for more crash games, and tried to play the trilogy, and I was like "uhh, this is not crash at all!" And then i never played any crash game besides Crash of the Titans again. (Some years later I bought Crash nitro kart, and I kinda liked it too, but it was impossible for me to finish it.)
@@Its2Manny They didn't age well. That's all I meant. I am not saying the original trilogy is unplayable. It's just that if you don't have the nostalgia, It's just a bad alternative to most platformers. Loved them as a kid tho.
I want to see all of these amazing environments remade with the technology we have today. I fugging love the backgrounds of all of the levels especially the earlier levels and the family tree
Any who says "enough with the hate please" needs to be a pussy and accept that people will he different opinions on things. Does it affect your enjoyment of the game knowing people don't like it, does it hurt your fragile sensibilities knowing that people think you have bad taste? Man the fuck up buttercup.
This game is really fun tbh and a really creative takes on Crash games. I play this coop a lot with my brother and a big fav childhood game on ps2 ❤ The combat is unique, not just the classic spinning crash do. He actually throw fist and there is even charged attack variation. The movement is also very cool and quite polishes. The mutant/monsters, oh where to begin with this. This is absolutely the best thing in this game, not just that they are very unique and diversed the monsters are with special attacks and unique move, The Fact that you can MOUNT n PLAY as that monster when u dmg enough threshold to weaken the monsters. Not to mention aswell The Special Monsters that usually fought as the Stage Final Boss, the game even gave u the chance to PLAY as the Stage final boss monster aswell ! Also on some stage each and some monsters are required to progress the level This game is really really fun, and not just a Classic Platformer and adventure Crash games. The story in this is a bit silly but is still fun and acceptable. One of the best Crash game imho Other than completely redesigned characters, i dunno why Lots of Crash Fan hate this game :(
I just started the video 18 seconds ago, I'm seriously curious about the video content, you could have said "Yes" and ended the video there it would have been enough for me. This game was great !
english is not my main language but it did understood some words when I was a kid and played it, and when I re-played a decade later I simply couldn't believe it was on the game xD
I guess that the thing I loved the most in this Crash game was the tribal, mystic air that Aku Aku and Uka Uka got. The magic being called mojo, the tribal tattoos that Crash got, even the titans with theyr own tribal tattoos, each one with different patherns.
Really good review, I've watched your videos a lot and I like them. You also spoke about variations of skins and monsters etc. At the time this game came out hearing critics like that would be out of this world because the expectations were lower compared to what we can do today with games. However it is worth noting.. Imagine if they do a remake? I highly believe that they would not just copy paste with better graphics but actually improve points that the community thought could have been done better. However I have a part of me that says this game never getting a remake due to the community hating on it even though it still is a masterpiece of its time. Let us not forget MIND OVER MUTANTS where you can move around the entire map and collect these KING versions of the monsters you liked. If they did a remake they would probably take the feedback the community has given as well. (however not a big fan of the walk back across the entire map, back and forth)
That was the only crash bandicoot game i was playing on my ps2 when i was a kid, and one of my prefered game that is too, along with ratchet and clank 3, this video bringed back so many memories, that nostalgia...
The best character change was changing N.Gin's personality. Yes, I know he acted like this in tag team racing as well and I love him there just as much. Nolan North just breathed new life into this character for me.
I remember playing this game with my brother on co-op when we were younger and I loved the game in my opinion. It was even one of the reasons why I ended up loving video games.
I myself have never been against the idea of a 'different' Crash game. I just look forward to seeing what adventures the series takes me on next. Yes, they're not all going to be winners, but hey, that's life.
Oh god, why i found this video so late... I used to play this game on PSP (if someone even remember this thing lol), which my mom get to me, i think it is still alive and i have a lot of good memories from playing on PSP. Anyway, i used to really be scared of those titans in game when i first played it, cause u know, i was like 5-6 y.o. and so i used to ask my mom to help me with the first titan, that spikie i don't know how it's called. So i used to replay first level for like 3 years, and this was a lot of fun for me in that age. But, i didn't even fully complete this game, cause i was really scared of those monsters. These nostalgia video really hit me, thanks mate, maybe i'll go found my old PSP and replay this game, at least finally finishing it.
Omg, I loved this game as this was one of my first PSP games, playing non stop too. Plus it reminded me why some old relatives scolded me when I played Crash of the Titans Episode 8. Hearing it back now got me a chuckle
When I was 10, my dad bought me this game and WWE Smackdown Vs Raw 2007, I only wanted to play the WWE game (I had never played any Crash Game). I didn't wanted to, so my dad forced me to play Crash 😂 so I did, and I really loved it.
Awesome job on making your review on Crash of the Titans, WumpaLewis. I've recently come to the realization that the game is overhated. For me back then, I wasn't a big fan of the game at first. But looking at the game entirely at an older age, I do believe this game holds up in being a really decent Crash game. If not, then it's definitely a really good game that at least brought in plenty of new elements without sacrificing too many old elements by improving the slide sections for you to make amazing trick jumps, using it for attacking methods, and having unique obstacles to work your way around on what you can do with smooth silde gameplay. Crash's gameplay is upgraded in a interesting way. You can have more attack options, multiple combos that can help in a long run and it's quite fun when you test your skills in some hit combo challenges. On top of Crash's platforming jumps and hovering being more fluent/comfortable to use. The plot of the game is also unique, they replace Dr. Neo Cortex for failing once again and replace him with Nina Cortex. I like this idea, because Uka Uka finally replaces him for failing so many times and is successful on finding a more threatening person that can get the job done. Uka Uka is also smart enough to take advantage of the Evolvo Ray to make himself more incredibly powerful, I just like how he uses something that made Crash powerful to use against Crash in the process. As for Nina Cortex, she is absolutely my favorite character in the whole game. She actually knows how to get down to business, actually more focused and a threat to be taken more seriously than Dr. Neo Cortex in this game (While having her character be more balanced with humor, to give herself more of an identity. Badass, but also sadistic in a humorous way), not to mention, she haves a motive/reasons why she is like this to begin with that makes her more chaotic neutral than just being evil like Dr. Neo Cortex. It makes me feel sorry for her, but at the same, shows that she isn't a saint (Also, Nina's design is my favorite along with Uka Uka, Crash, Coco, Aku Aku, N Gin, and Dr. Neo Cortex). Furthermore, I do agree that the last two boss fights are the most interesting ones. The titans adds more of challenge as well and can be pretty satisfying to take control over, especially the bigger titans. Adds more variety of attacks and for how much you can do in this game, without making it inconsistently tedious, downplayed, nor piss easy like Wrath of Cortex did when they played too safe without adding in more new elements to make it stand out like Crash of the Titans did (Though, Wrath of Cortex isn't a bad game, just either mediocre or okay at best). Anyway, this was a blast watching your review. The Crash Bandicoot series and community has been so kind and been pumping out recent game reviews not to long ago. I'm just so glad that Crash is back and seeing all of us getting along, whether we agree or disagree. Keep up the awesome work and hope you have a fun time in 2020, WumpaLewis. : 3
I agree although Wrath of Cortex played it safe for business purposes since it took the franchise into multiplat for the first time so everyone(who didn't own PS1) can get a taste of Crash in his OG format. Plus Wrath tried to spice things up with more variety.
@@MSCLeap75 Fair enough, I can't hold it against Wrath of Cortex too much. Because of the limited time, if they had plenty of more time, it would be much better. The developers did their best to make the game for what it is and there are people who did enjoyed the game. Which I'm glad people are honest on what they enjoy. Also, I'm glad I got to see you again. If you ever want to play Crash Team Racing Nitro Fueled (For the Switch or for the PS4), don't hesitate to let me know. My Switch FC and PSN are on my Twitter, you can find the link on my RUclips About Description. Anyway, hoping you are doing good for yourself in 2020. : 3
@@shiveringdarkness4637 Glad you understand and cool meeting you again. Add me PSN: ddavis16 so we can play NF online. Looking forward to an awesome 2020.
I just replayed this for the first time since I was 8 years old. I’m 19 now (turning 20 February 2022) and this game still holds up in my opinion. Yes the dialogue is off sometimes and the story is simple but overall the gameplay is fluid and fun. This game holds a special place in my heart as a huge crash fan. Though nothing like the original it’s still a good crash game in my eyes.
people will say this times to times, but guess what? Try imagine putting this into different title, let's put the scenario : - new title, no one know for sure (because it's not on the prime internet era) - people will see and probably criticize it being janky etc etc = bad game - people won't buy it = not a massive franchise the reason old franchise survive is because of nostalgia factor, good game, and LUCK. There is a reason why the ps2 era got tons of hidden gem because it is not lucky enough to have decent success, you literally have to gamble for it to be successful even if it's a good game. This is the reason why on ps2 to late ps3 ish age developer tend to stick with their main mascot to boost it's chance of success. Nowadays though yeah this might be successful but back then before the internet era being at top and it has brand new title, it is too risky
@@istheworldreal You have a good point on paper but now let's look at what happened BECAUSE they put Crash in it. - A Crash game only by name. The characters, their personalities, the world, sense of humor and tone, and of course the core gameplay all received a massive overhaul making them nearly unrecognizable. - People NOT ONLY will criticize it for being janky, but for ruining their vision of how these characters should look and act. = Bad game - People DIDN'T buy it, sending the Crash series into a nearly DECADE long hiatus. = Not a massive franchise. Now I don't know about you but I'm pretty sure most Crash fans didn't enjoy Cortex calling his own daught- I mean niece, a SKANK or seeing CRASH BANDICOOT getting dizzy from spinning too long! (Seriously that's like a Sonic game where he gets winded and needs to stop and catch his breath.) These aren't the characters or gameplay style that they tried to use nostalgia to trick people into buying. Now if the Titans franchise turned out big I wouldn't have a leg to stand on but the fact is, it didn't. People didn't buy because IT WAS NOT CRASH and that's where my point comes from. What's the first thing people bring up when criticizing these games? They don't bring up the jank and sometimes glitchy gameplay or the backtracking issue in the second game. The first thing people say is that "It killed Crash and therefore my childhood!" And that's why I feel it could've done better or at least be seen as a hidden gem if it were it's own franchise. Maybe if the point was to use nostalgia to get people to buy maybe they should've stopped to think about what made the franchise nostalgic in the first place...
I played it as a child and i absolutely loooved it so i played it again and i still really like it and i also played mind over mutants but i think this one was better
I loved it and honestly i'd like a remake o a remaster o a porting on steam. It was really funny, so funny that usually i didn't go to school just to play it at the game stop. One day i decided to finish it at the shop. I was so focused that i played for like 5 hours without moving, that was the day where the shopkeeper closed me inside the shop with him because i was so silent and focused that she forgot that i was there from the opening. That was embarassing but also a good memory from the old days. In the end i buyed it and I finished but damn, that day i almost finished my "speedrun"
I actually really liked the titans games, the change in style was a bit too drastic but it was kinda fitting for the theme of the games. I think you'll like Mind Over Mutant as it's more or less the same gameplay style with some improvements I guess, at least from what I remember as it's been quite a long time since I played it. perhaps one of the best things about Mind Over Mutant was the cutscenes being done in different styles.
I also played it when I was new, and replayed a part of it some years ago, and I like it. I would like if these games would come back as a spin-off, but with some changes and fixes in the problems it had. For the problems, well, some main characters designs. The Titans are all cool and certainly the best part of the game for me, I like them. Now some characters look strange, a new redesign being a little more close to the originals would be better for me. Changing clothes, adding tattos, and not changing the forms too much, like Twinsanity did it's totally ok and even good to me, to fresh them up a little, but what they did with the masks, Tiny and Coco were to much for me (at least she got a better design in Mind Over Mutant, in my opinion), even Nina doesn't look like the same Nina from the other games, although she being the main villain was something I liked. Another problem is that the game can get really repetitive, it was the reason why I didn't finished it in one go the last time I played, and I didn't played it again to finish it. They would need to do something with the stages and the titans to make it less repetitive. As for Mind Over, it's cool, I didn't like much some mutants redesigns, like the Yuktopus and the Stench, and that "open" world managed to make the game even more repetitive, because you have to keep redoing the same semi-levels over and over again. I also think the aesthetic of the HUD isn't as original and cool as the Titans one, I think it's forgetable (the HUD). I really love those animated cutscenes in it though. Another problem in these two games is that, if not for the main characters and some places, it doesn't looks like Crash at all, I think they could solve this by bringing back some characteristics of the older games, like the original masks, the crates, give more importance for the Wumpa fruits, the tribesman in Wumpa Islands, and these stuffs, not necessarily the gameplay. Even with that, i still think both are great games.
The other weird thing about Tiny is that he's supposed to be a Tasmanian Tiger (a canine), but in this game he's an actual Tiger, which are 2 completely different animals !
This being a question is an insult, especially when the only flaw of the game is Crunch and Tiny. The combat is fun, the gameplay is challenging, the titans are unique, (Except the stench, in both games) the story is excellent, Nina taking the lead was a great decision and the mutants that were created makes sense since......eh do i need to explain? Dingodile, Tiny, Ripper Roo, they're all mutants too. The bosses are also good for the most part, like for the second time in the series (The first one being.......dingodile in twinsanity. I mean all the bosses seem great, but not gameplay wise) and the music, BOI! Mind over mutant did everything better, but it's only HUGE fucking problem was backtracking. That's why titans is prefered. Also co-op. So, you doing these types of vids is a very good thing. Tag team racing is unfortunately ok at best mediocre at worst. A guilty fucking pleasure, love how retarted this game is and the racing while basic is still chaotic. Because clashing is op i always just focus on the track, maybe clash once but that's it. That deathmach game mode is where the clashing shines. The stupid vids that can be found are nice the only bad one was that cow farting on crash. Like wow, yes some were lame but not this much. Also the game gives you stuff to do in the loading screens which is appreciated in ANY game in general. So basically, it's ok but they could've done more with the platforming and the racing, which they unfortunately didn't. Tiki turbo still one of the best things in a crash game though.
I literally agree with ere thing you jist said, and i like what they did with the cutscenes in mom. Titans had this ancient and mysterious feel to it aswell that i cant explain.
@@trevorkidd9515 but cb2 backtracking was through secrets and there were multiple worlds. I swear down, mom just had ice, jungle, desert, junkyard, space
Funny how you have alright opinions on everyone's design except Nina and Tiny when I'm the opposite for most designs except N. Gin and Nina. N. Gin was probably the most faithfully-designed. And I quite like Nina's design, especially her clothes which I wouldn't mind her wearing in future games with the rest of her design being the familiar Twinsanity design we know and love. I like her Titans clothes more than her Twinsanity ones.
I too always thought that Nina's design was improved in this game as well and at least they gave her a voice instead of just making her a mute. And looking at her in the racing game it feels like a bit of a mix of the old and Crash of the Titans design.
My first ever Crash game and I loved it! I think me and my cousin must have spent over 200 hours playing this game, And that Uka Uka fight tooks us at least 3 hours the first time we played. Recently replayed while he was visiting and still holds up to this day I must say.

This game was my childhood. It was one of the first games I ever played
Yes me too
same, i still love this game
Same
But Crash 3 was more so...
I'm sorry your first crash game was the worst. Should have played tge originals
You didnt mentioned, that when you wear a costum of a specific Titan, all of these specific titans can get knocked out with ohne hit, what makes it extremly nice to have :)
(Especially at titans like the scorparilla)
YanSte33 forgot to talk about a few things like music, the health bar system and that! I’ll try to not forget things like that in other reviews
@@WumpaLewis Uuuuh i don't think that really matters, so him "forgetting" to talk about it is no big deal and might've wasted time. Leaves some stuff to talk about the mom vid too, like the music in this game. MY GOD!
@@WumpaLewis the music was pretty spankin not gonna lie
@@WumpaLewis please do mind over mutants
YanSte33 wait wtf really?
U need to get into the mind of a child to understand why this game is a masterpiece.
Child sees a badass enemy: i wish i could play as him
Crash of the titans: you can.
Goddamn ain't that true
Yoy could not be more right
SPITTING FACTS RIGHT THERE BOI
That's why I love it,this shit brings back memories
This is bad but mind over mutants is even worsr
"Episode 8: Life's a Beach" got me laughing for around 2 minutes non-stop idk why
Let me guess, it’s because of the opening cutscene when Crash Bandicoot cried his ass off after he had to deal with Tiny Tiger’s change in character, design and voice (otherwise, he would enjoy the game itself as he should)!
Or maybe it’s because “life’s a bitch”! XD
this game is a try not to laugh challenge of video games
@@kieranstark7213 the cutscene is actually a reference to the og planet of the apes ending scene
YAS
Just imagining Grim from billy and Mandy saying it
The level design, the ambience and the landscapes are absolutley TOP TIER and look came out from a triple A game. The art department was the best on this game. I still remember lots of places on this game and u remember as a kid i was so fascinated by the world they achieved to make, i lost hours going through the concept art with an open mouth. The monsters was cool too and rhe gameplay wasn't so boring (try to play in hard mode, it's so fun). I'm honesty sure if this was a non crash game it would have been praised. People criticizing this game only look at Crash design and chamge of gameplay style, but no one ever praise it for what it actually is: a good game with a fun gameplay and amazing art.
This is was my first 3D game as a kid, so my mind was rushing with the possibilities to move freely through the landscape "could I go at the waterfall?","can I swim on the beach", etc. and the artstyle of it only increased this rush of possibilities, still holds deeply in my hearts only through design and art alone
probably one of the most fun crash game that doesn't even look like a crash game at all
Agreed
that’s why it’s so good
Yup
is this even a category?
Ikr
I had no idea this game received backlash, me and all of my friends really liked it, id probably enjoy it if i were to play it again.
I know right, it's like one of my first games and i loved it, and still do to this day eh, and honnestly the other crash didn't seemed as great as this one (when i was a child).
Where I lived the folk who I showed this game to, actually seemed to like it.
I enjoy the old games and even enjoyed this game as well!!!
This was the second crash game I played and I knew it would have recieve backlash because the first one was twinsanity and this was nothing like it. However I still enjoyed it even though I was never a fan of talking crash.
“Change bad. Devs shouldn’t try anything new ever” is their WHOLE argument
Wtf people are still talking about this game, that is awesome I’m 16 turning 17 and I grew up playing this game I’ve finished it like 20 times and even played it last year!
Yo that sounds like my exact story,and my exact age
Dude. I'm like the same. I really loved this game as a kid.
Wtf, same for me 😂😂
Friend I am at my 20s and played this shit to completition unlock all costumes, all concept art and everything, I had like 2000000s something mojo, this game was the shit and I Also played Tag Team Racing on the Ps2, the one where you can combine with other to shoot others and destroy. My fav mutant was the Scorporilla, mofo just destroyed everything even other scorporilla.
Bro same even tho I’m 13 I was like six playing this game and it was amazing.
This game is a masterpiece, I was only a kid when I first played this, I’m 20 now, but I can gladly say that this game is one of the best crash games to date, the titans are all diverse and well designed, the addition little features like outfits, voodoo dolls, etc, are well thought of, the level design is superior to any other plat-former, the bosses are actually bosses and best of all, crash and aku aku actually look good, people just don’t like change 😂
me too, same age. love the aesthetic too and i can see some of those influences in crash 4
thanks Iam 19 and this is my favorite game of all time. Glad Iam not alone
Yeah I don’t get it. I grew up with Crash Bandicoot since the PS1 and had all the games since I was born in the 90’s. Played them all the way through ‘till this day and still love them. I saw this game when it first came out, it was different and all but damn… I literally enjoyed these games as well! It was a nice change and different way to play it so it was great! I’m a big fan of the Crash games but I don’t get why other fans would hate this either.
Im 22 and titan games were my favorites
Literally everyone is forgetting the coolest feature. THE COOP
Got this game as a christmas gift when i was 8 or 9, played like crazy and loved every second of it
I remember playing this game with my dad, because yeah there's local 2 player co-op and everytime i saw a mutant i was scared and hid in his backpack so i could possess the mutant he knocked out. So my gameplay was basically hide and then fuck everything up while HE did the hard work.
An even sweeter detail, years later, i still have my ps2, and i play this game with my little sister, and she does the exact same thing i did back then...
Pure nostalgia
Aw man, that's adorable
Hope crash 4 gets that
😍
Cool
FUCK. I forgot you could hide on someone's backpack! XD I always found it weird that you could fit there, really awesome tho
People only hated this game because of the redesigned characters. This game was very overlooked before it came out.
Admittedly, some redesigns were fucking awful.
Tiny Tiger anyone? But most of them either had modernised or updated ones that looked good for the character.
Hell, N-Gin looked identical to his predacessor, minus the personality change. And N-Brio was fucking great.
@@N-GinAndTonicTM "I'm sorry buddy"
The Untitled Random Junk Nina's redesigned pissed me off the most
@@N-GinAndTonicTM MInus Ngine being grey.
The redesigns can absolutely burn in hell, especially Uka Uka looking like he went through a wood chipper. But aside from that, while it wasn't a completely shit game, it completely alienated the fanbase who loved the series for it's fantastic platforming that we got in the first four titles. This is an entirely different game with a Crash Bandicoot skin.
Crash of the Titans is just the OG Mario odyssey
That it is my friend. And Aku was Crash's cappy. Actually he Was Crash's star power UP. Its funny to think how far this series went. Also this games did 3d platforming better than Sonic did, and they were on the same console, Sonic is Crash's senior btw.
@@houndrysmagolyteofhope4661 I think this game has better platforming than daxter on psp
@@mariowario5945 idk, mate, I remember Daxter having quite a lot of platforming, while Crash... He had some, but the game itself was more about fighting and not traversing levels.
No that was Kirby
Hell na
How can this game be disliked by the community? What exactly makes them think that Crash can only create one genre of games ? That's such a closeminded thought
This was a great, unique and very fun game. The battle mechanics were so clever. It was never getting boring. It was just the best crash game imo.
I'm not sure of how much truth there was at the intro but it triggered me for sure XD....
Monster Tamer Mascot Platformer Game!
You'll probably offend half the Crash Bandicoot fan base with that take

You just unlocked a core memory I never knew I had until now. I finished this game over 5 times as a kid and I remember really enjoying it too, but for some reason it just got completely wiped out of my memory over the years. Definitely gonna re-play now and great video.
I completed this game 100% on my old PSP multiple times, it's a gem
Same this was the first game I ever played
Same
Same
I 100% on the psp emulator too. it was a bit laggy but whatever...
The amount of puns and references in this game is awesome
I can't remember how much times I played and finished this game over and over again
Same here, i was playing that game again and again and never got bored. I think you too, yeah?
I hope they make a similar game with Crash, because this was so fun and I loved it on my PSP haha, which was a long time ago obviously, but I do hope they consider a game like this in the upcoming years
The boss fight at 7:32 I had a hard time with too. I have a story of my own. Me and my older sister were playing and we both died the exact same time we beat the boss battle. So it played the cutscene and I was so happy I beat the level but then when the cutscene finished it just loaded up the level again.
I admit this game was a Guilty Pleasure as a kid and same with Mind Over Mutants mostly for N. Brio! XD
Mind over mutants and sly 3 where the shit when I was a kid.
How Much I miss you PS2
Read your bibles, *I WROTE THEM!*
I invented this comment, STOP LIKING IT, IT'S MINE!
N. Gin is pretty fucking hilarious too, lol
This would probably only be a guilty pleasure for me nowadays, because back then this was the only crash game ive played in my ps2 along with mind over mutants, i got shocked the moment i saw the most famous titles. 2000s Brazil gaming, everyone.
You forgot to mention the game soundtrack, which is amazing, I have to check it out again but I can't remember any bad song, it was perfect for this game.
The concept art, the scenery and overall design was amazing too, like no other game really, it had a mysterious vibe unique to it that inspired me a lot when I was a kid, the titans, the landscapes epic proportion, just amazing.
YEEESS, that's something that people dont point that much, for me you can say everthing about the game, but you have to agree that this game has style. I would really love if some recycle the whole aesthetic of it
The level design, the ambience and the landscapes are absolutley TOP TIER and look came out from a triple A game. The art department was the best on this game.

Hell no
Had alot of fun playing this as an OG crash fan. I feel alot of fans who hated this game were my age of teens n early adult years n had that typical AVGN personality to any game that dared to be different for better or worse. I felt the hate towards Titans wasn't deserved, even back when I was a kid to teens where I watched various versions of Popeye, Felix, Mickey, TMNT, Tom n Jerry there were so many eras of them and I did talk to my friend at school one time that video game series that we once loved are gonna go through changes. It wasn't till internet era when TMNT 2003 was out it was the first time I heard complaints about a show not being the same because it's not like the nostalgic 80s. There was even teens of my age who didn't like 2003 TMNT but I loved all versions of TMNT (and yeah I love 2012 and RISE) I guess I just have a strong tollerance for alot of changes in my beloved franchises.
All good things have to end or be changed, even comics do the same thing and for me some series I feel are better in comic form by well respected creators or original creators who take theirs or existing franchises and expand upon them with growth and not have to deal with censorship or just what you have to do for syndicated shows.
Sorry was going too far off topic but the point stands that I still love this game even the controversial changes don't bother me.
The game is fine and the hate is overexagerated and at times I find it hilarious like im laughing at a bunch of clowns who still scream up a whiney fuss over this game at how it tarnished their childhoods. I wish I was joking but some man children are still like this and I'm like "dude just calm down it was nearly 2 decades ago, gotta move on mate."
A neat detail of the Wii version is that in the pause menu where you can see the mutant's abilities, they show the motions with that mutant holding a Wii remote and nunchuck which looks goofy and i love it.
See's Tiny Tiger
*_nervous sweating_*
is it just me or this Tiny reimagination was made based sort of on Mike Tyson? I mean, besides the way that he speaks, on the previous games he was that menacing character and all that stuff, and now it still is, but is just trying to make shit right, idk to be honest
im willing to bet the character designer that came up with that was a filthy furry
Twiny Twigwer UwU
@@stproducciones9140 ok then
@@Rupi1234ful stop right now, please
I played almost every single crash game and I loved this game. I didn’t know it received backlash from people who loved Crash. I considered it one of the better games in the series.
@Deanos22 bruh, twinsanity was a buggy half assed game, crash of the titans wasnt perfect, but it was more polished than twinsanity and had more replay value.
@Deanos22 as someone who loves twinsanity, you are entirely wrong. Twinsanity WAS buggy and unpolished, it had an entire section missing because it was so rushed, this game was full, it was clean and fun to play, it didn't play like a classic crash bandicoot game, it did its own thing but it was a fun game
@Deanos22 i loved the world of titans, it was more warped and it was a very exaggerated design, even though i didnt like beat em ups. also twinsanity had over 500 glitches, cuz they scrapped the original plot and made a whole new one so alot of content got cut. the game can be beaten in less then 3 hours which really sucks cuz it was a fun semi open world
Same tho yo.
same, but I did play this first before I actually played any traditional crash games but child me would have probably still prefer this.
Short answer: Yes, it is.
Long answer: Indeed, it's a good game but it's not like any other Crash Bandicoot game, I would call this a spin-off of Crash Bandicoot, a game that takes place in the universe of Crash Bandicoot, but completely different to any other. I like this game, and I like the old ones.
I love the Titans and Mutant games, But unfortunately the old ones look like trash to me.
My favorite part of your reviews is how you add your personal experiences and childhood memories to it.
Keep it up man!
i have so many fond memories of playing this with my older brother, glad i got to revisit those memories a little thanks to this video. appreciate it mate
I like this Game. The Locations, Missions and The whole Idea with the titans was new and fresh. But it isn't Crash, we know and love. I like the game for being diffrent.
As much as I love the original if they did the same thing 20 times people get bored. You need to throw in a few games that are completely different and out of the box and who knows it might get hate but I'm sure like this thousands of people will love it to death aswell
@@RubberDinghyBro you will be surprised at the amount of people that got into the series and are loyal fans now because of those games. including me. this was like the gen z version of crash.
@@flex9663 yeah I started gaming around 20 years ago, my first ever game was crash 2, been hooked ever since and enjoyed nearly every game I think. I actually enjoyed the titan games for what they were just not as much as the originals
Knowing that Aku Aku in this game was voiced by Greg Eagles, who of course is Grim in The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy from Cartoon Network, was a huge nostalgia hit, and especially teaming him up with Crash felt like an episode of the show.
And also, John DiMaggio as Uka Uka. Since most of the dialogue was pop-culture related, the game could've gotten away with him saying "Bite my evil wooden mask" as reference to Bender from Futurama, one of DiMaggio's best roles.
I think this game had beautiful concept art and set design. I especially loved the one with the locker room/bathroom where the ratcicles were showering lol
This game hits hard. I used to play this with my Dad and my sister. Good times man..
This game was my childhood. I can’t describe how much fun I had playing this game
"Episode 8, Life's A Beach."
I can't believe they got away with that lol! 😂😂😂

god damn I forgot about this masterpiece. I was so fuckin addicted to this game as a kid 😂
CotT is definitely a bit of an underrated childhood favorite of mine. I had a lot of fun playing it in co-op with friends back in the day. I get it's not the Crash game people wanted, but I personally found it to be really engaging with all of the Titans who were really fun to control imo. Oh, and the music is surprisingly good as well!
When I was a kid, the change in gameplay and tone never bothered me and even now, it doesn't. I love this game. It's never left my top 5 of the series. Easily my favorite beat em up game
You know Scorporilla is good when he gets put in the sequel "Mind Over Mutant"
This and mind over mutants are masterpieces and no one can tell me otherwise
Correct.
Exactly.
I would still play it no matter what. Except that I lost my old PS2. And now have a dumb PS3. And can't tell if it's backwards compatible. Even if it is maybe it still won't work if it does then god am I happy.
I agree even though gh i haven't played crash of the titans
I don't know where gh came from
You unlocked a very well hidden memory of mine with this game. I must have been like 6-7 when I played this game and I would just play the first level over and over again cause I didnt know how to play it. Might have to try and play it now
The fact this video ended up being your most popular is a wonderful achievement of its own. Congrats on almost 1M views.
Btw this game was also my childhood and I still genuinely think it's an underrated gem of nostalgia. Especially Mind Over Mutant, that game was fun too but sadly wasn't as good as COTT (Crash of the Titans' acronym).
I hope that one day they continue revisit some aspects from the Titan Duology and put more mutants in to their future games.
"I played when I was a kid" - yeah this makes me feel old. I played Crash bandicoot 1 as a kid.
Andy C me too!
Was playing that game when my uncle bought me a PS1 when I was 4. Was only playing when I was finished playing outside so maybe 20 mins per day before or so.
Recently bought a PS1 and PS2 last week and I swear graphics was way worse than what I imagined it to be but I love it just as much as I did as to when I was a kid. Felt so nostalgic playing it again.

Is it a Good Game? Yeah.
But a Good Crash Game? eh...
There are many types of Crash games and this is one of them that's good.
Too true
it has Crash in the title
it's a Crash game wether you like it or not
@iPeteEE oh yeah
It's a different universe of crash
This game was about 50% of my childhood, so even down the line nostalgia is still being produced by crash
Yeah mine too I wish I could play it again
Crash - I think he looks decent, but I do miss the gloves.
Coco - Super cute, but my favorite is the Mind Over Mutant design (yes, sacrilegious, I know).
Aku Aku - I never was a fan of the simplistic blocky mask, so I actually enjoyed this version. He looks wise and like an ancient shaman mask.
Crunch - Not a fan, looks like an OC.
Cortex - Looks good, more mature and laid back.
Nina - My favorite design. Fitting for a bossy young business woman straightup stealing her dad's chair.
Uka Uka - Also a favorite, looks very demonic, although I wish he acted a little less goofy at times. Would be perfect with a lower jaw of sharp teeth.
N. Gin - Good. Nothing special, but nothing wrong either.
Tiny - Good god what happened here?
More than just looking cute, the skins are actually a powerup.
You can one hit KO the titan you're wearing the skin of, or one hit kill the minions if it's a minion skin.
So spike and magmadon are pretty useful because they continue to appear well into the late game, or if you know one is going to appear the Scorporilla or Shellephant being able to be controlled with a single punch is incredible.
Petition to have some of the Titans as playable characters in Nitro Fueled.
SilentKiller55 ehh… maybe after we have all the characters that matters!!
The Greatest Name Of All Time Yeah that's true, especially Emperor Velo.
I wouldn’t mind getting a signature Titan or two like Ratcicle or Yuktopus
Give us Mutant series skins
Why?
I still clearly remember me as a kid years ago being giddy and exited over “Spike” titans first appearance
Fkin lov dis game
For me, it's the opposite.
When i played this game, I instantly loved it as a kid, I finished EVERYTHING UP even the Valentine's day skin I did 100% and then I searched for more crash games, and tried to play the trilogy, and I was like "uhh, this is not crash at all!" And then i never played any crash game besides Crash of the Titans again. (Some years later I bought Crash nitro kart, and I kinda liked it too, but it was impossible for me to finish it.)
same here
Well older crash games aren't really "good" in today standarts
@@Its2Manny They didn't age well. That's all I meant. I am not saying the original trilogy is unplayable. It's just that if you don't have the nostalgia, It's just a bad alternative to most platformers. Loved them as a kid tho.

What makes Crash of the Titans a good game?
Nolan North as N.Gin.
Tiny: You didn’t even invite me to the last game.
Dingodile: Am I a joke to you?
Actually Tiny Tiger does have dialogue in Mind Over Mutant, He just does not appear in a material form as a seen character.
I want to see all of these amazing environments remade with the technology we have today. I fugging love the backgrounds of all of the levels especially the earlier levels and the family tree
Crash of the Titans is definitely a good game, so enough with the hate please.
Wtf with the hate, I'm not going to be turned off even the whole gaming community hates it.
I miss that game. And my PS2
Any who says "enough with the hate please" needs to be a pussy and accept that people will he different opinions on things.

This game is really fun tbh and a really creative takes on Crash games. I play this coop a lot with my brother and a big fav childhood game on ps2 ❤
The combat is unique, not just the classic spinning crash do. He actually throw fist and there is even charged attack variation. The movement is also very cool and quite polishes.
The mutant/monsters, oh where to begin with this. This is absolutely the best thing in this game, not just that they are very unique and diversed the monsters are with special attacks and unique move, The Fact that you can MOUNT n PLAY as that monster when u dmg enough threshold to weaken the monsters. Not to mention aswell The Special Monsters that usually fought as the Stage Final Boss, the game even gave u the chance to PLAY as the Stage final boss monster aswell ! Also on some stage each and some monsters are required to progress the level
This game is really really fun, and not just a Classic Platformer and adventure Crash games. The story in this is a bit silly but is still fun and acceptable. One of the best Crash game imho
Other than completely redesigned characters, i dunno why Lots of Crash Fan hate this game :(
I just started the video 18 seconds ago, I'm seriously curious about the video content, you could have said "Yes" and ended the video there it would have been enough for me. This game was great !
Let's reflect on that "LIFE'S A BEACH"
@Marxsoulneo Episode 8: Life's a Beach
english is not my main language but it did understood some words when I was a kid and played it, and when I re-played a decade later I simply couldn't believe it was on the game xD

I guess that the thing I loved the most in this Crash game was the tribal, mystic air that Aku Aku and Uka Uka got. The magic being called mojo, the tribal tattoos that Crash got, even the titans with theyr own tribal tattoos, each one with different patherns.
This video brought memories back, i can still remember how i 100%ed this game as a kid
Really good review, I've watched your videos a lot and I like them. You also spoke about variations of skins and monsters etc. At the time this game came out hearing critics like that would be out of this world because the expectations were lower compared to what we can do today with games. However it is worth noting.. Imagine if they do a remake? I highly believe that they would not just copy paste with better graphics but actually improve points that the community thought could have been done better. However I have a part of me that says this game never getting a remake due to the community hating on it even though it still is a masterpiece of its time.
Let us not forget MIND OVER MUTANTS where you can move around the entire map and collect these KING versions of the monsters you liked. If they did a remake they would probably take the feedback the community has given as well. (however not a big fan of the walk back across the entire map, back and forth)
That was the only crash bandicoot game i was playing on my ps2 when i was a kid, and one of my prefered game that is too, along with ratchet and clank 3, this video bringed back so many memories, that nostalgia...
4:19 in my whole life I never discovered that reference until now and it's so funny because of that
Cant remember how many times i completed this game when i was a child. Now im gladly to complete it again
The best character change was changing N.Gin's personality. Yes, I know he acted like this in tag team racing as well and I love him there just as much. Nolan North just breathed new life into this character for me.
This Game was my childhood and it introduced me to the Crash universe
Same
U brang me memories back. I love this game but then i couldnt remember name of this game. Ty for that
I remember playing this game with my brother on co-op when we were younger and I loved the game in my opinion. It was even one of the reasons why I ended up loving video games.
I myself have never been against the idea of a 'different' Crash game. I just look forward to seeing what adventures the series takes me on next. Yes, they're not all going to be winners, but hey, that's life.
Honestly, I have never quite realised until now how beautiful the world looks in this game. The backgrounds are insane.
Oh god, why i found this video so late... I used to play this game on PSP (if someone even remember this thing lol), which my mom get to me, i think it is still alive and i have a lot of good memories from playing on PSP. Anyway, i used to really be scared of those titans in game when i first played it, cause u know, i was like 5-6 y.o. and so i used to ask my mom to help me with the first titan, that spikie i don't know how it's called. So i used to replay first level for like 3 years, and this was a lot of fun for me in that age. But, i didn't even fully complete this game, cause i was really scared of those monsters. These nostalgia video really hit me, thanks mate, maybe i'll go found my old PSP and replay this game, at least finally finishing it.
Omg, I loved this game as this was one of my first PSP games, playing non stop too. Plus it reminded me why some old relatives scolded me when I played Crash of the Titans Episode 8. Hearing it back now got me a chuckle
4:20 ahhh i remember my brother was dying everytime i reach episode 8, now i know why
Man, after watching this makes me wanna play Crash Of The Titan again. One of my favourite childhood game.
I still play it
YES IT WAS
and so was Mind over Mutants.
(pls don't kill me it's my opinion)
RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE!
You can’t have opinion me angry
Wait theres two mutant hijack game? Damn i really miss the mind over mutant, such vibrant and colorful game. It was my top 10 ps2 games.
Nostalgia hits hard for me with this one. Hope they do a remaster
this was the first game i ever played on my wii…i was 6 years old, now i’m 20. thanks for the video, brought back some cool memories
When I was 10, my dad bought me this game and WWE Smackdown Vs Raw 2007, I only wanted to play the WWE game (I had never played any Crash Game).
I didn't wanted to, so my dad forced me to play Crash 😂 so I did, and I really loved it.
I see your father is a man of culture.

Awesome job on making your review on Crash of the Titans, WumpaLewis. I've recently come to the realization that the game is overhated. For me back then, I wasn't a big fan of the game at first. But looking at the game entirely at an older age, I do believe this game holds up in being a really decent Crash game. If not, then it's definitely a really good game that at least brought in plenty of new elements without sacrificing too many old elements by improving the slide sections for you to make amazing trick jumps, using it for attacking methods, and having unique obstacles to work your way around on what you can do with smooth silde gameplay. Crash's gameplay is upgraded in a interesting way. You can have more attack options, multiple combos that can help in a long run and it's quite fun when you test your skills in some hit combo challenges. On top of Crash's platforming jumps and hovering being more fluent/comfortable to use. The plot of the game is also unique, they replace Dr. Neo Cortex for failing once again and replace him with Nina Cortex. I like this idea, because Uka Uka finally replaces him for failing so many times and is successful on finding a more threatening person that can get the job done. Uka Uka is also smart enough to take advantage of the Evolvo Ray to make himself more incredibly powerful, I just like how he uses something that made Crash powerful to use against Crash in the process. As for Nina Cortex, she is absolutely my favorite character in the whole game. She actually knows how to get down to business, actually more focused and a threat to be taken more seriously than Dr. Neo Cortex in this game (While having her character be more balanced with humor, to give herself more of an identity. Badass, but also sadistic in a humorous way), not to mention, she haves a motive/reasons why she is like this to begin with that makes her more chaotic neutral than just being evil like Dr. Neo Cortex. It makes me feel sorry for her, but at the same, shows that she isn't a saint (Also, Nina's design is my favorite along with Uka Uka, Crash, Coco, Aku Aku, N Gin, and Dr. Neo Cortex). Furthermore, I do agree that the last two boss fights are the most interesting ones. The titans adds more of challenge as well and can be pretty satisfying to take control over, especially the bigger titans. Adds more variety of attacks and for how much you can do in this game, without making it inconsistently tedious, downplayed, nor piss easy like Wrath of Cortex did when they played too safe without adding in more new elements to make it stand out like Crash of the Titans did (Though, Wrath of Cortex isn't a bad game, just either mediocre or okay at best). Anyway, this was a blast watching your review. The Crash Bandicoot series and community has been so kind and been pumping out recent game reviews not to long ago. I'm just so glad that Crash is back and seeing all of us getting along, whether we agree or disagree. Keep up the awesome work and hope you have a fun time in 2020, WumpaLewis. : 3
I agree although Wrath of Cortex played it safe for business purposes since it took the franchise into multiplat for the first time so everyone(who didn't own PS1) can get a taste of Crash in his OG format. Plus Wrath tried to spice things up with more variety.
@@MSCLeap75 Fair enough, I can't hold it against Wrath of Cortex too much. Because of the limited time, if they had plenty of more time, it would be much better. The developers did their best to make the game for what it is and there are people who did enjoyed the game. Which I'm glad people are honest on what they enjoy. Also, I'm glad I got to see you again. If you ever want to play Crash Team Racing Nitro Fueled (For the Switch or for the PS4), don't hesitate to let me know. My Switch FC and PSN are on my Twitter, you can find the link on my RUclips About Description. Anyway, hoping you are doing good for yourself in 2020. : 3
thank you, glad you enjoyed! hope you have a good 2020 too :)
@@shiveringdarkness4637 Glad you understand and cool meeting you again. Add me PSN: ddavis16 so we can play NF online. Looking forward to an awesome 2020.
When I played this game as a kid I also had dreams of controlling titans lmao
Me too
I just replayed this for the first time since I was 8 years old. I’m 19 now (turning 20 February 2022) and this game still holds up in my opinion. Yes the dialogue is off sometimes and the story is simple but overall the gameplay is fluid and fun. This game holds a special place in my heart as a huge crash fan. Though nothing like the original it’s still a good crash game in my eyes.
I absolutely love this game. It was so fun. Plus the music boped.
I feel like this would've been an awesome, well received game that turned into a massive franchise...
If it weren't connected to Crash
Yeah... Also Crash wouldn't have been death for that many time, if they would have made a Twinsanity sequel instead of this.
people will say this times to times, but guess what? Try imagine putting this into different title, let's put the scenario :
- new title, no one know for sure (because it's not on the prime internet era)
- people will see and probably criticize it being janky etc etc = bad game
- people won't buy it = not a massive franchise
the reason old franchise survive is because of nostalgia factor, good game, and LUCK. There is a reason why the ps2 era got tons of hidden gem because it is not lucky enough to have decent success, you literally have to gamble for it to be successful even if it's a good game.
This is the reason why on ps2 to late ps3 ish age developer tend to stick with their main mascot to boost it's chance of success. Nowadays though yeah this might be successful but back then before the internet era being at top and it has brand new title, it is too risky
@@istheworldreal
You have a good point on paper but now let's look at what happened BECAUSE they put Crash in it.
- A Crash game only by name. The characters, their personalities, the world, sense of humor and tone, and of course the core gameplay all received a massive overhaul making them nearly unrecognizable.
- People NOT ONLY will criticize it for being janky, but for ruining their vision of how these characters should look and act. = Bad game
- People DIDN'T buy it, sending the Crash series into a nearly DECADE long hiatus. = Not a massive franchise.
Now I don't know about you but I'm pretty sure most Crash fans didn't enjoy Cortex calling his own daught- I mean niece, a SKANK or seeing CRASH BANDICOOT getting dizzy from spinning too long! (Seriously that's like a Sonic game where he gets winded and needs to stop and catch his breath.) These aren't the characters or gameplay style that they tried to use nostalgia to trick people into buying. Now if the Titans franchise turned out big I wouldn't have a leg to stand on but the fact is, it didn't. People didn't buy because IT WAS NOT CRASH and that's where my point comes from. What's the first thing people bring up when criticizing these games? They don't bring up the jank and sometimes glitchy gameplay or the backtracking issue in the second game. The first thing people say is that "It killed Crash and therefore my childhood!" And that's why I feel it could've done better or at least be seen as a hidden gem if it were it's own franchise.
Maybe if the point was to use nostalgia to get people to buy maybe they should've stopped to think about what made the franchise nostalgic in the first place...
@@ThatBluDude it's a double edge blade risk that they must take, but that risk is still lower compared to creating new title
This was one of my first games I ever played in my psp
I think Tiny looks hilarious in this, it's weird but it doesn't look horrible.
I played it as a child and i absolutely loooved it so i played it again and i still really like it and i also played mind over mutants but i think this one was better
I loved it and honestly i'd like a remake o a remaster o a porting on steam. It was really funny, so funny that usually i didn't go to school just to play it at the game stop. One day i decided to finish it at the shop. I was so focused that i played for like 5 hours without moving, that was the day where the shopkeeper closed me inside the shop with him because i was so silent and focused that she forgot that i was there from the opening. That was embarassing but also a good memory from the old days. In the end i buyed it and I finished but damn, that day i almost finished my "speedrun"
I actually really liked the titans games, the change in style was a bit too drastic but it was kinda fitting for the theme of the games.
I think you'll like Mind Over Mutant as it's more or less the same gameplay style with some improvements I guess, at least from what I remember as it's been quite a long time since I played it.
perhaps one of the best things about Mind Over Mutant was the cutscenes being done in different styles.
I also played it when I was new, and replayed a part of it some years ago, and I like it. I would like if these games would come back as a spin-off, but with some changes and fixes in the problems it had.
For the problems, well, some main characters designs. The Titans are all cool and certainly the best part of the game for me, I like them. Now some characters look strange, a new redesign being a little more close to the originals would be better for me. Changing clothes, adding tattos, and not changing the forms too much, like Twinsanity did it's totally ok and even good to me, to fresh them up a little, but what they did with the masks, Tiny and Coco were to much for me (at least she got a better design in Mind Over Mutant, in my opinion), even Nina doesn't look like the same Nina from the other games, although she being the main villain was something I liked.
Another problem is that the game can get really repetitive, it was the reason why I didn't finished it in one go the last time I played, and I didn't played it again to finish it. They would need to do something with the stages and the titans to make it less repetitive.
As for Mind Over, it's cool, I didn't like much some mutants redesigns, like the Yuktopus and the Stench, and that "open" world managed to make the game even more repetitive, because you have to keep redoing the same semi-levels over and over again. I also think the aesthetic of the HUD isn't as original and cool as the Titans one, I think it's forgetable (the HUD). I really love those animated cutscenes in it though.
Another problem in these two games is that, if not for the main characters and some places, it doesn't looks like Crash at all, I think they could solve this by bringing back some characteristics of the older games, like the original masks, the crates, give more importance for the Wumpa fruits, the tribesman in Wumpa Islands, and these stuffs, not necessarily the gameplay.
Even with that, i still think both are great games.
The other weird thing about Tiny is that he's supposed to be a Tasmanian Tiger (a canine), but in this game he's an actual Tiger, which are 2 completely different animals !
I absolutely love this game I beat it in one summer.
THIS GAME WAS WAS MY CHILD HOOD I THANK YOU FOR TALKING ABOUT SOOO MUCH
This being a question is an insult, especially when the only flaw of the game is Crunch and Tiny. The combat is fun, the gameplay is challenging, the titans are unique, (Except the stench, in both games) the story is excellent, Nina taking the lead was a great decision and the mutants that were created makes sense since......eh do i need to explain? Dingodile, Tiny, Ripper Roo, they're all mutants too. The bosses are also good for the most part, like for the second time in the series (The first one being.......dingodile in twinsanity. I mean all the bosses seem great, but not gameplay wise) and the music, BOI! Mind over mutant did everything better, but it's only HUGE fucking problem was backtracking. That's why titans is prefered.
Also co-op.
So, you doing these types of vids is a very good thing. Tag team racing is unfortunately ok at best mediocre at worst. A guilty fucking pleasure, love how retarted this game is and the racing while basic is still chaotic. Because clashing is op i always just focus on the track, maybe clash once but that's it. That deathmach game mode is where the clashing shines. The stupid vids that can be found are nice the only bad one was that cow farting on crash. Like wow, yes some were lame but not this much. Also the game gives you stuff to do in the loading screens which is appreciated in ANY game in general. So basically, it's ok but they could've done more with the platforming and the racing, which they unfortunately didn't. Tiki turbo still one of the best things in a crash game though.
I literally agree with ere thing you jist said, and i like what they did with the cutscenes in mom.
Titans had this ancient and mysterious feel to it aswell that i cant explain.
Actually MoM had less backtracking than CB2...
@@trevorkidd9515 but cb2 backtracking was through secrets and there were multiple worlds. I swear down, mom just had ice, jungle, desert, junkyard, space

is the cutest thing ever.
Funny how you have alright opinions on everyone's design except Nina and Tiny when I'm the opposite for most designs except N. Gin and Nina.
N. Gin was probably the most faithfully-designed. And I quite like Nina's design, especially her clothes which I wouldn't mind her wearing in future games with the rest of her design being the familiar Twinsanity design we know and love. I like her Titans clothes more than her Twinsanity ones.
I too always thought that Nina's design was improved in this game as well and at least they gave her a voice instead of just making her a mute. And looking at her in the racing game it feels like a bit of a mix of the old and Crash of the Titans design.
@@Jordanmills93 I mean, Nina did speak fully in CTTR and she had her Twinsanity design. So she was talkative back then.
Appearance-wise, I actually didn't mind Tiny's design. The thing that made everyone hate it was the snuffy nerd voice.
@@MrRAGE-md5rj I believe the voice is meant to be an impression of Mike Tyson.

My first ever Crash game and I loved it! I think me and my cousin must have spent over 200 hours playing this game, And that Uka Uka fight tooks us at least 3 hours the first time we played. Recently replayed while he was visiting and still holds up to this day I must say.
