Crash of the Titans demo now on Live

by Justin McElroy { Sep 25th 2007 at 10:52AM }

It's Sept. 25, and you can feel it in your bones. You've waited long enough: It's time to finish the fight. And you know what that means -- it's time to start practicing your spinning and fruit collection. Yes, time to finish the fight between Crash Bandicoot and Dr. Neo Cortex, at least until the 15th Crash Bandicoot game comes out. ... Why do you look so sad? Did you think we were talking about someone else?

No, the fight that needs finishing today is Crash of the Titans and you can get a sample now with a new demo on Xbox Live. Had we played any Crash games in the past five years, we'd be happy to tell you what's new in this version. As it stands, we can offer only a hearty "Good luck."

a hearty "Good Luck" makes me think of General Pepper from the original Star Fox whenever you were about to start a stage.

Good old Crash and his frustrating but addictive escapades!

hell yeah. crash 2 was the first game i got for playstation, it was awesome. the 3rd one was great too, but i only rented it, so didnt play it nearly as much as number 2

i even have the soundtrack for crash 2 on my computer, it's great. those hard zones were sooooo frustrating though, it was great when i finally beat em

Later I'm starting to enjoy Spiderman:Friend of Foe,If you ignore the lazy porting S:FoF is pretty good.

I used to love that Crash cart racing game on the psone. I think they should go ahead and make another awesome not-mario cart for the ps3/360.

I hear that. The levels were so much better than most of the mario kart games. Plus the high speeds were awesome.

the last the crash games were anygood is back when naughty dog was making them. Nowadays, they're craptastic.

they sold the rights to someone else? damn, that's when the spyro series turned to crap too

Have you played them or are you just being a mindless sheeple?
Crash Twinsanity, Tag Team Racing, the GBA games and maybe even Crash Bash are all pretty good games. Not the most amazing games to ever be released on the planet, but still pretty damn decent.

Hell, Wrath of Cortex isn't a bad game so much as it is a Crash 3 Recycling bin, the same thing applies to Nitro Kart only this time its copy and pasting from Crash Team Racing

Demo was okay, I really miss the old style Crash games though. Also what's all this punching and kicking about? Crash's Tornado attack needs to be unlocked and used as a special move now?

uh....no

'time to start practicing your spinning and fruit collection'

Too bad there does seem to be any of either in the demo

WHAT?!?!?!

Actually, there's quite a lot of it in the actual game. You have to level up to upgrade your spin. It starts as the Hover move, then it becomes a ground melee, then, as you update it, it becomes longer, eventually being infinitely usable. Wumpa Fruit are in crates, and heal your health bar.
