Crash of the Titans

When we finally got confirmation that Crash Bandicoot would be headed to the Nintendo Wii, we were grossly mistaken at the time when we said it was only headed to Nintendo systems, including the DS and Game Boy Advance. While the new game, Crash of the Titans, is indeed headed to those systems, Sierra is spreading out the love to a number of other systems and even mobile phones. In fact, the only system left out seems to be Sony’s PlayStation 3 (and, well, PCs), with versions also announced for the Xbox 360, PS2 and PSP in the official press release, which we’ve included below:

READING, ENGLAND (18, May 2007) – Sierra Entertainment, a division of Vivendi Games, today announced the upcoming return of everyone’s favorite iconoclastic videogame hero, Crash Bandicoot, in Crash® of the Titans - the latest installment of the best-selling Crash Bandicoot® videogame franchise. Crash of the Titans is scheduled for release this autumn on the Wii™ Console, Xbox 360™ videogame and entertainment system, PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system, the Nintendo DS™ system, the PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) system, Game Boy® Advance and on mobile phones.

In Crash of the Titans, players will fight a nefarious plot hatched by Crash’s arch nemeses Neo and Nina Cortex to mutate the local creatures into titanic abominations. 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 all manner of 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."

Key Features in Crash of the Titans include:

· ‘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. It’s up to you to use all of the creatures’ special abilities to defeat Neo and Nina Cortex. – Control, play and battle as 15 outrageous, original enemies, including titanic creatures such as Scorporilla, Ratcicle, Magamadon and Shellephant.
