Crash Bandicoot faced identity shifts on the PS2 post the departure of original developers. The series attempted evolution but arguably lost its unique appeal.

Metacritic Score: 60

  • Platforms: PS2, Wii, Xbox 360, PSP, Nintendo DS
  • Release Date: October 7, 2008
  • Developer: Radical Entertainment

Crash: Mind Over Mutant isn't the worst platformer, offering decent gameplay without major flaws.

The game's open environments encourage exploration and interaction, yet it failed to receive high praise.

5 Crash Twinsanity

Metacritic Score: 64

Crash Twinsanity innovated with an interconnected world and emphasized humor but struggled with gameplay.

Although the game's writing stood out, its controls haven't aged well, impacting the overall experience.

4 Crash Of The Titans

Metacritic Score: 65

  • Platforms: PS2, Xbox 360, PSP, Wii
  • Release Date: October 2, 2007
