It is the first Crash Bandicoot game to appear on a seventh generation home console, the second to support 16:9 Widescreen (the first being Crash Twinsanity), and the first to support Wi-Fi LAN.The game's story centers on the discovery of a new mysterious substance known as 'Mojo', which the antagonist of the series, Doctor Neo Cortex, plans on using to create a huge army of loyal mutants out of the inhabitants of the Wumpa Islands. The protagonist of the series, Crash Bandicoot, must stop Cortex's plot by utilizing the new technique of 'jacking' to take control of the mutated 'Titans' and destroy the Titans while collecting the mysterious mojo himself. The game's title is a pun on the 1981 film Clash of the Titans.

Gameplay:

he player controls Crash Bandicoot, who must rescue his sister, stop Cortex's Doominator, and save Wumpa Island. The first goal given to the player is to rescue Aku Aku, who acts as the player's tutor, shield, and skateboard. From there, the main goal of each level is to complete fights against large groups of enemies or simply progress through the level. Crash starts the game with only three lives but you can get more lives as you move on in the game. On the top-left of the screen is an orange health meter. Whenever Crash takes damage from enemy attacks or falls down a bottomless pit, the health meter decreases. If the health meter runs out, Crash will lose a life. If Crash loses his last life, the game will end prematurely, and the player will have to start the level Crash died in from the beginning. Eating Wumpa Fruit replenishes Crash's health, and additional lives can be obtained for every 25,000 Mojo obtained. Each episode is broken up by a simple mini-game arena, where Crash has to accomplish a certain task in a set amount of time. The task usually consists of collecting a sufficient quantity of mojo, hijacking an enemy animal to snipe bombs, or simply defeating a select number of enemies. At the end of a level, the player will earn a voodoo doll rank of no doll rewarded, bronze, silver, or gold. This rank can be improved by defeating a set number of minions in an episode, destroying Cortex's three spy-toilets, or scoring a minimum combat hit combo. All three tasks must be accomplished in an episode if a gold voodoo doll is to be obtained for that episode. Hidden voodoo dolls unlock concept art packages for each episode. The DS version of Titans plays in a format similar to that of previous Crash installments. The game takes place on four islands, each with two levels and a boss. When a boss is defeated, a new island is unlocked. This process is repeated until the game is won. Each island has its own "Pachinko board" where players can win "on-demand items", items that can be used to restore health, provide temporary invincibility, set off Nitro explosions, etc. Additional content can also be won at these Pachinko boards, such as gallery art, cheats, and a mojo jackpot.

Plot:

he setting of Crash of the Titans is a collection of twenty levels that the player progresses through. Each level is referred to as an "episode", and each has a distinctive subtitle that is usually a reference to popular culture (such as "The Blizzard of Claws"). Like the first Crash Bandicoot game, Crash of the Titans plays in a linear style, though the player can replay any level that has been completed. The game moves through five major themes starting with the Wumpa Islands, Crash's homeplace. Later in the game, Crash travels through a wood-cutting/mining area and a lava level that features giant steel mosquitoes sucking minerals out of the ground. The final moments of the game take place in Cortex's over-the-top Liberace-style lair.

Charcters:

ine returning characters from previous Crash titles star in the home console version of Crash of the Titans, all of them given a new modern "punk" look designed by Raine Anderson that is distinct from other cartoon characters. The player character and protagonist of the game, Crash Bandicoot, is a mutated bandicoot who must defeat Doctor Cortex and use the Titans against each other while collecting the mysterious new mojo to advance his own fighting techniques. Aiding Crash is Aku Aku, an ancient wooden mask who acts as a shield and skateboard for Crash. Crash's allies and adoptive siblings are Coco Bandicoot, his genius sister, and Crunch Bandicoot, his muscle-bound friend. The main antagonist of the series, Doctor Neo Cortex, is a mad scientist who captures Coco and Aku Aku, and wants to use the stolen mojo to create an army of dangerous mutants. The entity behind Cortex's plot for world domination is Uka Uka, who eventually tires of Cortex's incompetance and replaces him with his cyborg niece, Nina Cortex. Aiding the Cortexes are Doctor N. Gin, Cortex's right-hand man, and Tiny Tiger, a Mike Tyson-esque minion of Cortex. Dingodile exclusively appears in the DS and Game Boy Advance versions of Titans as a boss character. A "Carbon Crash" is also playable in the two-player co-op mode. Crunch and Uka Uka are absent from the DS version, but do appear in the Game Boy Advance version. Aiding the villains are a number of small fodder enemies that attempt to hinder Crash in his journey. Each of the fodder enemies are affiliated with a certain villain in the game. The first of these encountered is Neo Cortex's Ratnicians, which appear as bipedal, blonde-haired, chihuahua-like animals sporting lab coats and large beakers filled with a bubbling green fluid. These characters only appear in the first four episodes of the game, and are replaced by other enemies as the game progresses. These include Tiny Tiger's Southern-accented Koo-alas, Doctor N. Gin's monkey wrench-wielding Doom Monkey's, Uka Uka's spear-chucking Voodoo Bunnies, and Nina Cortex's Brat Girls. Radical Entertainment made a special effort in giving even these minor characters a personality by giving them a large number of distinctive quotes.
