Joystiq checks out Crash Bandicoot
There may be a ridiculous amount of Crash Bandicoot games, but since we enjoyed the last one, we're wearily keeping our eyes on Mind Over Mutant. Announced last weekend at the Sierra Spring Event as having an October 2008 release, our Joystiq overlords got their grubby little hands on the Wii version of the game and offered up some promising impressions.
Like Crash of the Titans, Mind Over Mutant offers drop-in co-op play. According to Joystiq, the humor famous to the series remains in tact, and with 8,500 different lines programmed for the characters to say, they hardly (if ever) repeat themselves when shouting random bits of dialogue.
While Joystiq acknowledges that this game is targeted toward the younger crowd with its sillyness and bright graphics, it seems like a game that any lover of the platforming genre could enjoy.

Why the hell did they change his style?

I agree, changing his style would be like taking away the speed that Sonic posseses. To change his structure this dramatically would be to take away the very essence of Crash. His goofyness and boy-ish charm is unmatched.

Okay, this is at least the third time I've seen it recently.
Are you sure wearily is the word you're looking for and not warily?

Based on trailers and info game looks great and seems that gameplay is interesting as well.

good to see that the humor is in tact and won't be offending anyone...
