Shipping this week: Just Crash Time edition

by Richard Mitchell on Aug 4th 2008 10:00AM

Kids, it is a sad day in "Shipping this week" history. There is precisely one Xbox 360 game shipping this week. It wouldn't be such a big deal if it weren't for the fact that the game releasing ... is Crash Time. You may recall the demo that was released for the game back in May. We wouldn't blame you if you can't though. It was that bad. If you still need convincing, check out our video impressions of the demo above.

But hey, it's not all bad, as we still get the mind-bending Braid on Xbox Live Arcade this week. Thank the heavens for that.

damn Richard, u got lucky on ur demo pick. poor Xav, lol.

I think Crash Time would make a good drinking game with a group of buddies, with some kind of MST3K-style heckling going on. That being said, I have no friends so it would just be me and that would be sad.

lol

I bet it's better than Burnout Paradise. Zing!

I actually played all the way through the demo.

The missions make no sense, and I didn't think any of them were very difficult. There was one mission at the end that really pissed me off though where you're supposed to tail a guy GTA style, don't get too close or he gets upset, don't get too far away or you lose him, only it took like 10 minutes for this guy to get where he was going. I can imagine how frustrated I'd get if I accidentally got too close after 9 minutes.

The only mission I sort-of liked was the 'stunt' mission where you had to jump a Landrover or something over some ditches to "test" some faulty springs. Stupid premise but the mission was somewhat fun. Well I take that back, it was -less- boring than the other missions.

This is based off a German TV Show I'm told, so its a "TV Based Game" which traditionally, sucks.
