14 DAY TRIAL // Crash Of The Titans is the latest installment of the best-selling Crash Bandicoot franchise, coming from Radical Entertainment, slated for an autumn release on all consoles ranging from home entertainment systems such as PS2, Xbox 360 and Wii, to handhelds like PSP and DS. The game will also hit mobile phones although I doubt it will have the same impact.
In Crash Of The Titans, the players' mission will be to fight off Neo and Nina Cortex's allies, the titan mutants. Using Crash's legendary mix of outrageous antics and daredevil bravado, players will 'hijack' enemies in order to take control of their actions and use their fearsome powers against other enemies.
"Crash Bandicoot - one of the most popular videogame characters of all time - is back and his all-new adventure brings with it more irreverent humor, family-friendly action, a wild cast of characters and amazing new titanic enemies to discover," said Cindy Cook, chief marketing and strategy officer for Vivendi Games. "Featuring advanced acrobatic combat and incredible co-op multiplayer, Crash of the Titans will be a fun and adventurous title for gamers of all ages."
Here are some gameplay features that will totally take your breath away, redefining your knowledge of the furry bandicoot's abilities:
- Jack to Attack! - Control, play and battle as 15 outrageous, original enemies, including titanic creatures such as Scorporilla, Ratcicle, Magamadon and Shellephant. While in control of a monster in jacked mode, players can throw toxic stink bombs, call lightning down from the sky, fire laser beams from their eyes or even impale enemies with a massive scorpion tail, all in an effort to defeat Neo and Nina Cortex.
- Hyper-Dynamic Combat - enjoy using Crash's new power, as he now has an acrobatic fighting system that includes punches and flying kicks, multiple attacks and special counter moves. Players can also power-up skills to unlock new attacks and blazing combos.
- Exploration and Adventure - Crash can now totally interact with his world, thus players will be able to wall-run, swing from ropes and flip off springboards. Crash can even toss Aku Aku on the ground to surf, skate, grind and shred.
- Wacky Co-Op Action (this, I personally found quite intriguing) - At any point in the game, a second player can join in the fun and play as Carbon-Crash, to inflict even more damage to Neo and Nina's allies.
Don't worry about looking up for compatible systems - it's the most multiplatform game I've ever seen. Remember, Crash of the Titans will be spinning your way this fall.
