It is clearly geared at a younger audience than me, but if I had kids between 10 and 14 they would probably enjoy it.  Crash of the Titans is a pretty linear platformer, but it does the basics very well.  One thing I really liked was that when you fight larger opponents after you beat them you can then ride on their backs and control them.  This made the fighting more fun as I kept trying different opponents to see what their attacks were. Graphically there is nothing spectacular here, but it is fine for a younger audience.  I&#8217;ll not be buying or renting this game, but if you are a pre-teen or you have a pre-teen you night want to give it a try.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve never played a Crash game before, but I had a little time today (but not enough to put in Halo 3) and I thought I&#8217;d give it a try.
