Crash of the Titans

"Crash of the Titans", often referred to as "Crash Titans", was probably the first Crash game I ever played and one of the ones I've played the most. I only recently finished it, which allowed me to notice some flaws that had previously escaped my attention.

Crash Titans is an adventure/fighting game with a completely new gameplay style and design. While these changes didn't bother me much, and the game overall is decent, there are some aspects that could have been better. The Titans have good designs (which even scared me a bit when I was younger), some stages are pleasant to look at and the soundtrack is memorable and unique.

While I did enjoy parts of the game, there were also many elements that I thought were bad. The gameplay in Crash Titans can be repetitive and has many frustrating moments. When you play as Crash fighting the monsters, it's challenging if they are in a group. Playing as a Titan can be boring due to the limited attack options. The platforming is okay, but sometimes I ended up falling because the camera doesn't always follow Crash (the camera sucks).

The comedy aspect of the game is another area where it falls short. This game is simply not funny. The story is overly simplistic and the dialogues are dull. Unlike Crash Twinsanity for PS2 too, which has good story, cutscenes, jokes, and dialogues, "Crash of the Titans" lacks that classic Crash vibe - you know, the silly humor akin to a cartoon.

While "Crash of the Titans" is clearly a game intended for children, as an adult in my 20s playing it, I found it to be just a plain game that doesn't have the essence of the Crash bandicoot franchise.
