Back again this fall is Crash Bandicoot in the latest installment of the Crash series, Mind Over Mutant. Developed by Radical Entertainment, it will be released for the Wii, Xbox 360, PlayStation 2, Nintendo DS and PSP, for more info visit www.crashbandicoot.com

With a similar story line, Cortex is once again attempting to take over the world. He's teamed up with an old friend, N. Brio and created the N. V. device which controls both bandicoot and mutant. It's of course up to Crash again to save the day.

The new techniques added in this game are very different than in the past Crash games. Now in co-op mode your partner is played by Crash's sister Coco. The 'world' of Crash has changed as well. Now it is a free romping environment allowing different experiences depending on the circumstances.

They've also given Crash new abilities. A roll and counter combat system, allowing a counter attack adding more damage to an opponent. Crash can now dig underground like a real bandicoot. He's also able to climb vertical surfaces and jump side-to-side. And now he can keep a mutant in his pocket to save for another use.

"The Crash Bandicoot franchise has built a wide audience of loyal fans, appealing to both male and female games of all ages. The Crash series remains one of the most recognizable franchises in our industry and we're excited to make this year's family-friendly title appear at the top of every gamer's wish list this holiday," said Al Simone, senior vice president, Golbal Marketing for Sierra entertainment.
