Crash: Mind over Mutant
Crash: Mind over Mutant is an action-adventure game published by Activision and developed by Vancouver-based Radical Entertainment for the PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable (ported by Virtuos), Wii and Xbox 360. The Nintendo DS version of the game was developed by TOSE. It was released in North America on October 7, 2008,and was released in Europe and Australia on October 31. After Crash of the Titans, it is the second game in the series not to have a Japanese release.
Crash: Mind over Mutant is the fifteenth and currently the latest installment in the Crash Bandicoot video game series, although this is the seventh chronologically in the main series. The game's story centers on the arrival of a popular technological device (a parody of such devices as the iPhone and the BlackBerry) that puts whoever uses it under the control of the device's creators and antagonists of the story Doctor Neo Cortex and Doctor Nitrus Brio.[6] The protagonist of the series and the only one unaffected by the device, other than his magical mask friend Aku-Aku, Crash Bandicoot must free his friends from the control of the device and put an end to Doctor Cortex's plot.
Crash: Mind over Mutant received mixed reviews overall, with reviews varying from version to version. The Wii and PlayStation 2 versions were met with generally positive reviews, while the Xbox 360 version earned middling reviews. Much of the game's praise went to the humorous cutscenes and dialogue, while the criticism went to its unadjustable camera and extensive use of backtracking. The Nintendo DS version was received negatively for its dull and repetitive gameplay.

More Information
Crash: Mind over Mutant is a platform game in which the player controls Crash Bandicoot, whose main objective is to explore his home, Wumpa Island, and surrounding environments to uncover the mystery behind the "NV", a personal digital assistant created by the main antagonist. Crash: Mind over Mutant is a mission-based game as opposed to Crash of the Titans's level-based structure, with goals being given by non-playable characters. Characters with exclamation points (!) over their heads, when talked to, give out important information that is needed to continue the story.
Scattered throughout the world are special items that empower Crash in one way or another. Golden stopwatches trigger a time-limited nanogame, which usually involves collecting objects or breaking things to earn bonuses. Red running shoes serve to temporarily power up Crash's kick attack and cause him to move faster, and the "Quad Damage" power-up can be used by Crash to temporarily multiply his attack power by four
