Purenintendo Review: Crash Mind Over Mutant DS

By  •  November 12, 2008

Activision was kind enough to send us over Crash Mind Over Mutant for the Wii and DS. For you right now I have the DS version review, and Kevin should have the Wii version done very soon. Next on my review agenda, the new James Bond, which I am hoping to have done by the end of next week….hopefully.

First I would like to say I never played the last Crash game that involved mutants. With that said I just well come right out and say it, Crash: Mind Over Mutant is a simple game. I found myself jumping and double jumping through level after level of pretty much the same thing over and over again. Don’t get me wrong, there are a few things to do besides jumping around like a Kangaroo. You can collect little orbs that they call “mojo.” Once you collect enough mojo, you can transform into Super Crash. Your speed and attack power increases. There is also the ability to hi-jack monsters/mutants of all different skills: Electric, Flower power, just to name a few.
