Frictionless Insight: Crash Mind Over Mutant Review

Radical has thankfully tried many things to revive the series. Unfortunately, some of the compromises made to bring these to the forefront have transformed the once beloved pseudo-mascot into something of a whipping boy for purists. They haven’t helped themselves with the major letdowns (camera and backtracking), but it’s not too late. Apparently, Sony does not want to let Crash go into that good night. However, instead of adding newer and even more different "features" to the next iteration, drop the monster jacking. Drop the backtracking. Drop everything but the core of the game. Thirty levels that could be confused as a next-gen version of the original would do a lot to revive this series. It’s what the fans want.
