This game is literally my childhood! I play it at least once a year because it's so fun. It definitely deserves a remaster but we all know that won't happen because it's the “black sheep” of it's franchise

Im glad someone made this vid, these games are severely over-hated and underrated. Nice review! You weren't biased like most people who talk about this game and go over the good and the bad.

I feel like Koala Kong should've had Tiny Tiger's role. It was missed opportunity. I mean, Tiny had Koala minions & the whole level takes place in an excavation like the Kong's boss battle. Plus, it was mentioned that Kong was based on various musclebound celebrities like Schwarzenegger and Stallone. Ironically enough, one scraped idea for Twinsanity was for Koala Kong to have a Mr. T-like voice, which Crunch ended up getting. Koala Kong being a Mike Tyson parody would be a step up from being.... nothing. As seen in Nitro Fueled they've settled on him being the Hulk, I guess... but we already have N. Brio.

I really hope crash’s titans design makes a comeback someday(even if they make it just a skin )

*And when the world needed him most, he returned*

On another note it's kinda odd when Crash tries something new the fans says it's the worst thing ever, but when Mario does that it's the opposite.

Great review of a solid title in this series.

Bruh the fact that you came back alone is awesome, but the fact that you did so with this video makes it one for the history books

People saying this game ruined my childhood is insane. This game fking made my childhood.

I disagree in what you said about the original games, but yeah, Titans is honestly a very overlooked game in the series. I wouldnt mind a new IP with Crash Of The Titans gameplay honestly...

This is the first main game in the series that does not add new major characters to the over-sized roster. The flag on top of Coco's house is a reference to the Canadian flag, only with the Crash paw print instead of the maple leaf. This is a reference to that Radical Entertainment is an Canadian company. Tiny Tiger's type of species is changed in this game. In the games up to this point, Tiny was a Thylacine (aka Tasmanian Tiger). However, he was changed into a Siberian Tiger for this game. His personality was also altered. This game originally was gonna be a new reboot of the franchise however due the bad criticism the second (Mind Over Mutant) would be the last game of them.

Only problem I have with tiny is that he was supposed to be a Tasmanian tiger but in crash of the titans he's a regular tiger for some reason

This review is god tier. Literally thank you for this. I’ve been trying to stress this for years that this game is an under appreciated gem.

This Crash Bandicoot game might be a different kind of genre of game, but it still awesome, and is One of my Top 500 - Favourite Games of All Time, and I grew up with the Naughty Dog games, but I enjoy playing this game so much.

I loved this game as a kid and I still do at 16 years old. Even Mind over Mutant, which reminds me a lot like Ben 10 but with Crash Bandicoot. These games need another chance. Maybe a remaster or mechanics from the Titan games put into a future Crash game would make some Titan fans happy.

Idk I’m pretty sure the Titans and Mutant are in their own timeline, particularly cause of the intro story. But yeah I liked this game, it isn’t my favourite Crash Bandicoot game, but it has a bit of a nostalgic factor to it, and the game was fun to play even though it got a little repetitive at times.

This makes me really proud that I had the Wii version.

I was literally watching your videos and I'm glad that you are back

I really don’t understand how people hate this game. It was so cool and unique to me. The only game on psp that my younger self actually beat and tried to 100%

Titans and Mind over Mutant were my first crash games back in the day, those games has my favourite design for crash and cortex for series, its really good to see someone, give this game some love instead of blindly bashing it for being different. Can't wait for a Mind Over Mutant Review if you ever do one.

I feel that you hit everything you said about the game right on the facts about the game and I feel that this game is awesome and the graphics are really out of this world and you described the game absolutely amazing and from the video and demonstration of the game that you did for the description of the game you done a amazing job with describing the game itself!! Thanks 🙏 for your support in describing this whole game and you did a fantastic job with describing how it is played and how it was created and the music in and during the game!! Again you did a fabulous job with describing in detail!!! Thanks 🙏 again friend… I played quite a lot of these games in the past and this game looks fantastic and quite amazing for the new game… I feel that you hit every detail to the nail on the head with describing the game in detail…. Keep up the amazing work friend…. Alicia Caissie from New Hampshire USA 🇺🇸

Using Crash's aerial spin on the minions' heads never gets old for me. The sound effect and their dialogue is timeless.

Miss this channel tbh

I liked Wrath of Cortex… I think I get what they were going for with the shadow puppet intro. The first part with the rabbit was to show how Crash was a failed experiment that ended up making Cortex’s life hell. The scene with the turtle is, I think, a jump to roughly the present day. Uka uka most likely taught Neo and Nina about Mojo mutation, probably helping to create the ray gun that Neo used in that scene. The turtle represents how the process didn’t work as expected at first. But Nina then figured out what was wrong and fixed the ray gun, demonstrating it’s true power by creating the Magmadon, Battler, Ratcicle, and what looks like two unused Titans. After that, Neo took over the process to create Titans of his own design. But it also foreshadows Nina being the real main antagonist.

Correction- THIS GAME IS ADVANCED AMAZING. I grew up with this game, and is way better than Crash 4: it’s about time. I’m glad Fred made a positive review on this game. My search for a positive review of this game is over, thanks to Fred5107 :))

Also, I discovered this KZfaq channel around 8:25PM Monday night, Auckland New Zealand time, and I even subscribed to the channel, and liked this awesome video.

Honestly, I didn't want to watch the video at first because I wasn't familiar with your channel and the length of the video from a channel I don't watch made me hesitant. But I INSTANTLY became a fan and subscribed. Not just because I agree with most of the things you say, but above all you really got in depth with every aspect of the game - and so. well. done. The way the video flows from one topic to the next made me pull out my phone (from watching on tv) and made me write this comment and want to look up your other vids. Well done. I love it and I absolutely can't WAIT to see the next 30 mins of this video. Much love & you most definitely deserve more recognition for the work you put in. ❤

I think the Radical Entertainment games deserve spiritual sucessors. If they didn't have Crash Bandicoot characters slapped onto the games, then they would have started some really good franchises.

Solid review man.

0:58 This game made my childhood, me and my friend use have so much fun with muh scorpion monkey and lava turtle. The lava turtle with it's broke ass foot stomp attack. I hope one day it gets a remake

Unrelated but, I wish rehydrated had an option to play & complete the original as well. TWICE THE TROPHIES! The Switch Version could've even had GCN controller supports

When I was a kid, me and my siblings loved this game and Mind Over Mutant

I actually had a blast playing this game with my cousin years ago

26:10 Erm, this giant piano is actually called an organ🤓🤓🤓

I think the game is fine for what it is and as a Crash game. I don’t really agree on all of your opinions but I can see where you’re coming from with this game. And I can also agree that the character designs and the game being different is are not nor should it be a reason to bash the game. If there happens to be another Crash game soon (which I don’t doubt), I’m hoping they can do some experimenting and add some elements from this game.

Very interesting bro. I admire what you're doing. A majority of Crash fans mainly only look at the PS1 games and Twinsanity as the "definitive" Crash Bandicoot experience. While I never played Titans or Mind over Mutant, looking back at them now, u can see that they at least TRIED to make the Bandicoot relevant. These two games aren't the worst things ever, and it's not the end of the world if someone gives a fair and positive review of it. Even Caddicarus kinda wrote this game off as "the Crash version of Sonic Boom". Always nice to see people like you who don't hold back especially with the CRASH community watching. Kinda bummed you're still in the minority with this video because a lot of people STILL hate this game, and this experiment with Crash was the final one before Crash went to Skylanders briefly, and returned with the N'Sane Trilogy, and returned again with "Its About Time", but hopefully people will have a different take on Titans after seeing this video. I know I sure will...

I love this game i still play it today on ps2

do mind over mutant next, this is a super solid review

The king is back, and with a bang, a crash video is the goat

I have never played Titans but i did play its sequel, Mind Over Mutant, growing up, and I really liked it. I do like (and also grew up with) the Naughty Dog-era games and Twinsanity too, but I never got the hate for the Radical-era stuff.

Thanks for giving my favorite Crash game the review it deserves

welcome back fred its crazy to remember that im your subscriber since 2017 i feel old

Now that crash is under the radar to comeback (again), I would love a thorough remake of Crash of the titans and Mind over mutant. Nevertheless, the key point, where I personally think it could work out, is merging both games into one and polishing/reworking on some of the features, such as: gags, story, and gameplay.

Well wasn't expecting this but not disappointed at all

Well, TWoC was the only Crash game on home-consoles that had the same formula as the originals... Until Crash 4 happened, of course.

I feel the same way about the Star Wars prequels in terms of the shallow arguments against them and the same regurgitated shit they heard from a KZfaq video over 12 years ago. It’s the same case here or with licensed games like SpongeBob. People go into these movies and games like Titans looking for things to criticize instead of with an open mind. The same can be said for modern SpongeBob too. It’s really idiotic

I had fun with these games tbr, my cousin had it for the wii and I found it fun af.

I loved this addition to the series. I too am a naughty dog fan but I always saw each installment a new experience and new designs. I played it on ps2 slim and I thought the tattoos were pretty cool. Something a bit flashy but not excessive. The gameplay was enjoyable but also frustrating. But that's only bc I was learning how to play games the intended and not intended way. Foodchains were a bit repetitive and some attacks/combos were suffocating. Some move sets could of used more work to make the combat a bit more flexible. Mind over Mutants improved on that adding hidden combos that improved speed while adding counter attacks

Good review! I agreed with allot with what you had to say about Titans. I think it's a fun beat em' up plattformer and it's personaly one of my favorite games in the series. I strongly disagree with what you had to say about the orignal trilogy though. Those games are anything but bland to me and I don't think they're overrated at all. They're classics that still hold up to this day imo

You should definitely review It's About Time!

I hope bro is doing alright since he hasn't uploaded any videos in a long time. Just found this chanel and I watched some videos, they're great

Played this and mind over mutant as a kid, I liked mind over mutant more but this one is also awesome. I am so glad you talked about the art style. Some of the concept art for these games is absolutely beautiful

I recently just put this and MoM on a USB on Ps2 and I’m playing it to see if it’s good.

Amazing video, I agree with everything you said. The PS2 and Wii versions are indubitably the best versions. Would love to see a video similar to this one with Mind Over Mutant (talking about the good and bad parts about the game).

Good return AND a good review! :))

I agree with you that Crash of the Titans is a good game, but I think you were too hard on the original trilogy in this review. Calling the ps1 games "the most bland in tge series" is a huge misnomer. Naughty Dog got as much character as they could out of those games with the PlayStation, they have some of the best animation on the platform. You don't have to attack the original Crash games to make your point that CoTT is good. CoTT wouldn't even exist without the success of that original trilogy. I enjoyed CoTT when I first played it back in middle school, and I still enjoy it for what it is, but I also enjoy the originals for almost entirely different reasons. You say that no one was saying that CoTT should be the standard for Crash Bandicoot going forward, but that's exactly what Activision was doing when they released the game. I don't blame them for trying something different, the gaming industry at large was going through some huge growing pains during that time, but ultimately their attempts to make Crash "more interesting" didn't pay off and that's why Crash Bandicoot went dormant for nearly a decade. Again, I don't hate CoTT, but there's a reason that the series returned to the gameplay style of the ps1 games. They're just DAMN good games for the platforming genre, whereas if you want a good beat 'em game there are arguably better options than CoTT.

I love this game. It provides new, fresh ideas to the franchise and it gives me good vibes. I also like the Soundtrack in the forest levels

idk what your'e talking about cortex was a good character from the naughty dog games

Out of the games I feel like MoM deserves some of the hate it gets, but it has some good

i think its safe to say crash of the titans and so are a different timeline from the original trilogy or a different universe hence the different origin story.

quick question: Will you review Mind Over Mutant sometime in the future?

I remember playing Titans on Wii for the first time when i was only 9 and i remember liking it alot! Unfortunately there was a time when i begun hating the game just cus others said it was bad, eventually i warmed more up too. I lost my wii disc for the game and have to replay the PSP version on an emulator to replay the game

You said it perfectly, Fred. Titans is, without question, one of the most underrated games in the entire series and is easily in my top 3 Crash games of all time. It was by far the most innovative game in the series for its time, and I feel like Radical Entertainment just put so much love and passion into the game. Heck, its main mechanics and gimmick of controlling enemies even seem to have inpsired that of Super Mario Odyssey. so as a fan of both series, I find that LIT!

Does anyone know what artstyle this game is. The backdrops of this and mind over mutant are breathtaking. Any games with a similar artstyle much appreciated

Never thought I'd see someone who also listened to Crash of the Titans OST LOL. First and third track go hard.

one of the best games that i growed with and i WILL play it again

So are you ever planing on doing a live stream of you playing crash mind over mutant in the future?

The return of Fred reviews.

You finally make a fucking Video after a Bit. One of the Great Comebacks of the world.

The return of the King 👑

Use to play this on the ps2 and recently bought it on the 360 before the shut down

Here i am still waiting for ur actual thoughts on BFBB remake but at least your back man

I played this game with my brother on xbox360 and it was a good experience for me I liked the game

I absolutely love this game. Such good gameplay and level design. The only things I really do hate about Titans is the character redesigns (I genuinely think they are laughably bad to this day) and the generic childish comedy in the cutscenes. The comedy wasn't funny to me as a 9 year old either (I even prefered Twinsanity's adult humor which I couldn't even understand most of at the time), and the character redesigns (at least Aku Aku, Uka Uka and Tiny) might be the worst I've seen and overall just completely unnecessary. If they wanted to remake every single aspect of Crash Bandicoot, I do think they should've just made a new series. Otherwise it's like making a linear story game and calling it GTA, of course that's gonna piss people off, what did they expect? I only think the REdesigns of already existing characters were bad however. The titans had amazing design, each unique with clever names and combinations of existing animals. Overall, this game is great, and the hate it got was only like 1% deserved. Sad that the overwhelming majority of people couldn't see the amount of love that was put into this. 22:45 Nice one. That would certainly add a bit of extra spice to the game to say the least. IMO Titans is a solid 8/10, which is higher than I'd give most other Crash Bandicoot games. The only ones I think are better and/or more fun to play are Warped and Twinsanity. Great review, I agree with almost everything!

You're ALIVE!? And with a 40 MINUTE VIDEO!? This is wondrous news indeed!

Great review. I would consider the Titans games as Crash spinoffs. Kinda like how Paper Mario, Mario & Luigi, and Mario vs Donkey Kong aren't cannon to the main line Mario games. It's ok to dislike this game for the gameplay but saying that it's an abomination is like saying Paper Mario shouldn't exist because it doesn't play like Super Mario Bros on NES. If this game ever does get a remake, then I recommend them to add time trials and gems (for breaking all boxes). Maybe even earn a gem for collecting a certain amount of mojo in each level (kinda like how you gotta collect wumpa fruit for the gems in Crash 4). 13 year old me used to go back and replay levels just to collect mojo and watch that counter go up to infinity, I think I was at 2 trillion mojo. I don't have the game anymore unfortunately, I was forced to give away my PS2 to my cousins in South America. Thankfully I still have my Wii, so I can always rebuy this game. Speaking of Crash 4, what are you're thoughts on that game? I know it's a hard game but I did enjoy playing as Dingodile and Cortex plus World 2 is based off of the construction area from Titans

14:41 when you showed your face with aku-aku’s voice 😁😂😂

I always liked this game and never understood why ppl ragged on it so much

I think this was the the first video game I ever really played and first crash games ever I love this game I played his for so long and a was so happy they made a sequel

Damn, thats a good review. Gee wiz, I sure love that review.

@Fred1507, I Have Requests Of More Video Game Reviews . The Requests Are: 1. SpongeBob: Truth Or Square, 2. SpongeBob: Underpants Slam , 3. Crash Twinsanity, 4. Crash Bandicoot The Wrath Of Cortex, 5. Crash 2: Cortex Strikes Again, 6. Crash 3: Warped And 7. Spyro: A Hero Tale

Welcome back my g

I've always thought the character designs in this game were really cool, just different.

I beat this game with my brother on the ps2 and it was perfect! I didnt 100% it but it was still good! My brother also beat wrath of cortex i loved that game and even tho i didnt beat it myself, it felt like it was us two who beat it

I agree with most things you said in this video, changing to the character design is not a ligaments reason to say this game is bad, it's a decent and fun game I enjoyed it for the most part while it's still one of the lowest points in the series.

Crash of the titans is like one of my favorite games out there I'm serious I like it that much played it all the time ever since I got it on ps2 back in the day ah the memories

I’m not saying that this game is bad, but...I’m gonna need radical entertainment to explain the character redesigns, also I might, MIGHT play this game, I’m not sure if i wanna play this game Edit: so I played both Crash of the titans and Mind over mutant for the Xbox 360, and I say there Great but not a Great Crash Game

I don't care what Caddicarus says about Titans, Mind Over Mutant, Tag Team Racing and Wrath Of Cortex, those games were good.

That being said, you should definitely do a review on Mind Over Mutant.

Hell yeah Fred, spot on! Although I like pretty much all Crash games, except the lesser of the 2 racers. Cheers.

It's the only game I've finished over 10 times. It's a solid 10/10 for me and let's face it every game has 1 or 2 bugs so I cant understand why not to be a 10/10. Also great review man and it's the 1st time I hear someone say that twinsanity is kinda broken...because it is

I personally love the shock and awesome & Timber Trials music

My favorite is the Koo-ala

Giant text wall review incoming: As a "original trilogy" fan I have always had some mixed feelings about this game however some of the criticisms I have with it are not actually about just the character designs(except Tiny, sorry but this version of him sucks). The problem I have with this game however is that for being primarily a beat n up its just "less fun" than most of the other Crash games(including wrath of Cortex, Crash Bash, Mind over mutant and especially Twinsanity) due to its genre repetitive nature, and also less fun than other options of beat n ups/hack n slashes too since they are much more complex than COTT (COTT combat is pretty simple compared to God of War, Bayonetta, Kingdom Hearts, etc. heck even the old street of rage games sometimes). The thing is: I can pick any of the trilogy's or the other Crash games I said above and play them till the end for hours without getting bored, while in COTT i usually get bored just when I get past episode 4, and when I finally beated the game it took me a looong while to want to play it again. However despite all of that I have some things that I love on this game: - This game is the best Crash has ever controlled(and yes, that includes Crash 4), it has a very expressive SM64-esque movement to it that makes Crash feel very acrobatic, the new moveset they added(climbing ropes, spin gliding which gave me Crash 3 death tornado flashbacks, wall jumps, ladder climbing etc) are all great ways to spice up the platforming too, if they had just kept the focus of the game mostly on the platforming rather than the beat n up the game would have been MUCH MUCH BETTER. The mutants would also have been great mechanisms for platforminf puzzles, but unfortunaly the game didnt take advantage of that due to the beat n up direction focus they took. The sequel Crash mind of mutant on the other hand fixed that, the game is mostly platforming based and the mutants do much more than just being combat purpose devices, unfortunaly it is plagued with backtracking and a more close fixed camera that wont let us see the nice vistas from before and they also removed the spin glide. The only sin this game commited was the spin not being unlocked from the beggining, Crash having to learn a movement he has been using on every previous adventure prior makes no sense, but thats not a big deal since I usually unlock it after 30 minutes into the game. - The world feels expansive in Crash of the Titans, the level you showed on the video is one of the best examples of that, this game has some of the best vistas seen in a Crash game, only losing for Crash 4 for obvious hardware reasons, the art style is good and the water effects in the wii version are also very nice. Also in my opinion despite the redesined Characters its the best looking Crash game of the ps2/wii era( some people consider Crash Nitro kart to be the best looking but, I dont know some character models in that game are pretty weird like Dingodile and Polar, have you guys seen the trophy presentations of that game? they dont even compare to the original CTR) . - Coop - Multiple dificulty choices - Some character designs are actually cool(except Tiny), Coco,Crunch and the masks are meh, most of the mutants we control have awesome designs, I love Crash design actually , his tatoos dont bother me that much(I took it as it being how his hands always looked like since we never seen him without his gloves up until that point, in my mind I was just:whoa so this is what Crash hands looked like all this time? and I like this version of Nina better than her old design. - The soundtrack is forgeatable but its very atmospheric fitting what happening very nice, so its good to listen in game, mind over mutant did a better job on this as well by having more memorable music as well as them being atmospheric, unfortunaly it still dont beat other Crash OSTS like Wrath of Cortex and Twinsanity. Also btw, I have played only the ps2 version a long time ago and then the current version I play now is the psp version since its the only one I have acess now , but I never actually noticed the issues you talked about and they never bothered me that much, the game actually looks very nice on an actual PSP/PSvita screen and I think its actually impressive that the PSP was able to run it, so I dont think its a bad port, I have great time with it, the only bummer are the few missing sound effects. Despite all of that, I still think this game(and Mind over mutant) are over-hated, they are not as fun as other Crash games for me, but I got admit COTT at least is very well made from a game design perspective. And for me the fact that its actually a Crash game worked on its favor actually, its the only reason I ever gave a chance to it in the first place, I would had quited if it was the same game with any other character other than Crash.

Homie back 🔥🔥🔥

Hey Fred welcome back man!

This is my favorite crash bandicoot game

For Crash bandicoot’s design, I will ALWAYS choose the Titans design over his design from Skylanders academy, along with his design from Imaginators too. :)

For the classic crash fans, I suggest the DS version. It has crystals, bonus areas, the works.

We should need more of those crash fighting games Like This, not the mind over mutant one
