E308: Crash Bandicoot crashes the party

by Candace Savino { Jul 18th 2008 at 11:45AM }

We're not sure if this Crash Bandicoot: Mind over Mutant trailer embodies the spirit of the Crash we used to know and love, but we'll probably be giving this platformer some looks anyway. What we've heard so far sounds good, and as Wii owners, we like being catered to.

Do you still have room in your heart to give Crash another chance? Or is this series long dead and buried in your mind?

Sorry, can't let another Bandicoot come and Crash my console. Warped was the last one, I vowed never again to let another Crash or Spyro game be inserted into any Console or handheld

Maybe if Naughty Dog still owned the IP....

I used to love crash and spyro on the PS1... if only they would go back to what made Crash Bandicoot awesome in the first place... 3D linear platforming. Just give me another classic crash! In fact, thats what I was hoping Donkey Kong 64 would be like, 3D but still linear. Instead we got a Banjo clone that wasn't as good :(

Anyway, enough ranting.. I wish the original developers would take the rights back and do it properly. I don't care if it has to be PS3 exclusive just make it good again

I gave Crash of the Titans a chance, and i did not like it, so i highly doubt i'll like this one! The only real Crash Bandicoot games in existence is Crash Bandicoot 1-3 and Crash Team Racing, cause those were developed by Naughty Dog.
This.... garbage of a character, is just a cheap clone of the real Crash Bandicoot! I really hope Naughty Dog takes the rights back so that we can get a traditional Crash Bandicoot game for once.

Oh, and haven't you noticed how the new games don't even have 'Bandicoot' in the title?!
