Radical: We maximized each handheld's strengths in Crash of the Titans - Image 1Gaming site PocketGamer recently had an interview with several developers from Radical Entertainment regarding the new game Crash of the Titans. While the game is being released on major platforms (Wii, Xbox 360, PS2), the discussion focused on the handheld builds for the title (DS, PSP, GBA).

According to Producer Joe Selinske, both the DS and GBA versions of the game will reflect the flavor and the feel of the console versions but with a twist. He further explained that Radical Entertainment tried its best to maximize the potential of each handheld platform. This is what he said about Crash of the Titans DS:


Each one uses its own unique flair for their attacks. Use the microphone to blow fire or shoot water out at enemies; flick projectiles out to stun and damage enemies; and roll or ride on the backs of enemies as you race to the end of a level.


The PlayStation Portable version, furthermore, is more connected to the one that will be released on the PS2. "The PSP version captures the flavor and essence of the PlayStation 2 version and adds something else as you can compete and fight in arenas with up to four other players in multiplayer action", Joe Selinske added.

One unique feature that comes with Crash of the Titans is the ability of our hero to play as one of the enemies. Senior Producer Kirsten Forbes explained that variety and dynamics will come from here, not to mention the new abilities and powers the bandicoot didn't have before:

Our 'x factor' for this game is Multiple... Playable... Weapons. Rather than literally put a weapon in Crash's hands, we provide him multiple enemies he could play as. Each one of those enemies has powers and abilities the player has to use strategically to win the game.


Along with this hook, we gave Crash himself a whole slew of new abilities. He can run on walls, swing on ropes, surf on Aku-Aku's face and generally blast around. And he can fight solo, with punches, flying kicks, head-butts and combos.


All versions of Crash of the Titans are expected to hit retail stores on October 2.

Or, you know, you could just take a minute and make a post relating to the topic. Not that that's what comments are for or anything.

True or false - you download psp games?



Write the answer in your post. Thx.





Go to isohunt.com,

search for the psp game you want

download it through torrents

once it finishes, take the .iso file, and put in in your ISO folder



QJ supports ISO downloading, so I'm spreading this message for them.

Anyways, I really can't see Crash punching or kicking or doing...headbutts. It's like they made it like every other platformer that suddenly began to suck *cough*Spyro*co ugh*. What happened to the Spin-kick-thing that was so freakin`awesome it shot an enemy into orbit?
