Crash bandicoot games xbox 360

Crash Bandicoot, an experiment gone wrong, must chase down and thwart the evil genius Dr. Cortex's plans to raise an evil army of genetically mutated animals in this remake of the critically-acclaimed original 3 PlayStation games. Votes: 1, Crash Bandicoot must gather ancient crystals to stop the destructive nature of a group of renegade masks known as the Elementals.

Crash must stop Doctor Neo Cortex from using magical mojo to turn his island's inhabitants into monstrous Titans. Votes: E Action, Family, Fantasy. Aku Aku and Uka Uka want to determine which one of them is better. Since they cannot fight each other they instead create a contest of minigames to decide whether good or evil is the strongest.

After Neo Cortex, Dr. Tropy and Uka Uka were last stranded on a distant planet. Universal Interactive intends to have 30 levels of gameplay replete with bonus rooms and hidden items a la Donkey Kong Country.

Game development is only at the halfway point, but graphically Crash has the early looks of a winner. Crash and his cohorts jump off the screen at you in fully rendered 3D animation.

The game's theme music and sound effects weren't available for previewing, but reportedly the effects are being created by movie-effects editors. It looks like Crash could have all the bells and whistles necessary to make him the PlayStation mascot-now we just need to wait for the gameplay. After finally scoring some hands-on gaming time with the much-ballyhooed Crash Bandicoot, we feel safe in saying that this cool game is worth getting excited about.

While it doesn't revolutionize platform gaming, Crash does offer some cool new twists, such as 3D levels where you run into or away from the foreground. You face tough jumps, pincer-clawed crabs, rolling gates, skunks, snapping plants, and boulders hot on your tail a la Indiana Jones. Crash tackles these obstacles with a jump, a Taz-like spin move, and a repertoire of humorous expressions and animations.

Tropical graphics make for a colorful eyeful. It started as just another cute action game. Little did anybody know that once the expert producers at Universal Interactive Studios started to tweak the raw program that another ho-hum mascot-type game would turn out to be perhaps the hottest new product of the year. All that extra effort didn't go unnoticed by Sony. After seeing the preliminary info on the game, they immediately fell in love with both the character and the game. So much, in fact, that Sony states that they have decided to make Crash their official mascot.

But what about the game? Is it really that good? Our editors got a sample of it at ECTS in London and their overall impression was extremely favorable. It takes place on a three-island chain off the southeast coast of Australia, where a mad scientist Dr.

Neo Cortex with the help of Dr. Brio decided to brainwash the animals on the island to be in their army which will take over the world. As expected it doesn't go right and the animals go mad. One animal is Crash who gets thrown off the island and ends up two islands away.

He must find his way back and save his girlfriend Tawna, who is next in line for the experiment. There will be over 30 levels of gameplay with solid control in all three directions. Crash has a Spin Attack which he will use to get rid of the enemies he encounters. If he gathers enough Yin-Yang-Yuk medals, he gets to go to the bonus room. Also, the various bonus fruits will give him special powers Finally, if he joins forces with.

Aku Aku--the wise village witch doctor--Crash will be able to get helpful advice and a magical orb which will protect him from one hit. Sony is still being quite secretive about the game, so stay tuned until next month when there's more info. Since our exclusive April preview, the most significant development with Crash Bandicoot is that Sony bought the rights to this title from Universal Interactive, which all but guarantees Crash's impending job as the PlayStation mascot.

And like other mascots, Crash is on a quest to save his girlfriend Tawna from an evil doctor Dr. Neo Cortex as he travels through three islands, using jumping and spin attacks to fend off enemies. But Crash's most impressive features are hard to grasp from static pictures in a magazine: This game has smooth cameras that automatically switch views on the fly, slapstick cartoon-quality sound effects, and superb animation.

May you be struck by lightning if you think for an instant that Crash Bandicoot is some sort of mascot. He's not, he's an Australian rodent with a penchant for fine wines and good furniture. He's also the star of the latest and, indeed, first offering from a brand new alliance between Sony and Universal Interactive, the company who brought you the rather unfortunate 3DO Jurassic Park.

It seems however, that Universal has come a long way since those dinosaur days on 3DO. The Graphics in this game are, well, stupendous. Some just include Activity Cards to load and save your game or access a game mode which saves time but isn't a game changer while others go to town on tips, hints and other helpful ways to get more from their game. As one player put it, "Honestly, I'm just really enjoying them in Control where they tell me where to go when I'm lost in the wonderfully convoluted building.

Then in Maquette it's extremely useful to just get a step solved for me when otherwise I'd switch to another game. These are the kind of frustrations that generally stop me from beating games. It's like having a Prima guide on my PS button. This not only provides quick travel, fast loading, how long main- and side-quests will take, tips and video guides but is a real reason to consider buying the PlayStation 5 version over the Xbox Series X S.

Oh hell yeah! By , it's tempting as a developer to inject new life into a franchise that's been around for over a decade. But even if you have the best intentions, it's not always enough. Crash Of The Titans was the most dramatic shift the franchise had ever taken as a core title. While there was still platforming elements, it was much more akin to a beat-em-up and a shallow one at that.

While the game does get points for being pretty funny in some spots, the title as a whole is forgettable and is not the best of the franchise. Its sequel Mind Over Mutant was an improvement, but Radical Entertainment's second Crash game is nothing worth remembering. How ridiculous is it that Naughty Dog's first attempt at a kart racer is still able to compete with the big boys of its own era and beyond?

Because it is nearly flawless. With the best controls in a kart racer, a great cast of characters, massive tracks filled with shortcuts and a soundtrack that we would rock out to at a party, CTR is king. Whether you're inviting friends over for races or battle mode or even you're a single player enjoying the endlessly replayable Adventure Mode, let's just Beenox has a lot to live up to in its remake. If we're ranking just the Crash racing games, there's a clear loser of the three and it's Crash Tag Team Racing.

While previous Crash games managed to balance and focus, this car combat game seems to be all over the place. Seemingly the game tries to distract you by placing you in a literal amusement park divided in various sections where you can platform around as Crash completing mini-games and fetch quests for all his supporting cast.

Notice how we didn't discuss the actual racing yet. That's because there isn't much to it as the main feature of the game where you combine your car with another player is broken beyond belief and turns races into jokes.

The tracks are bland, it tries way too hard to be funny and ultimately is the black sheep of Crash racers. The final Crash platformer from Naughty Dog, Crash Bandicoot: Warped is the pinnacle of the franchise and is likely never to be topped.

Not only does the game have boundless variety with a healthy balance of vehicle sections and traditional platforming, but the new superpowers add depth to Crash's move set and gives the player so many options to tackle levels. And also how can we forget the stellar music, varied level themes and the N Gin. If that was enough, the game's time trial system will have you coming back again and again to get the best times on each level.

PS1 perfection.
