Oh no! A rejuvenated Neo Cortex is taking over the world, one brain at a time, with a text-messaging, do-anything device that controls both mutant and bandicoot minds.

So, armed with his quick wits and lightning agility, Crash must free his friends and the titans - and save the day! And so begins another cartoony caper that boasts all the elements for a strong 3D platformer - decent sound and a great story - but it’s let down by the old classic: a dodgy camera. Put simply, you’re unable to move it as you’d like, which can become seriously frustrating when you’re trying to make a quick turn. As Crash Bandicoot titles go, this sits comfortably somewhere in the middle - it won’t totally turn you off, although the camera nearly does.
