Crash was an ordinary south pacific bandicoot until the evil Dr. Cortex used his evolvo-ray in an attempt to create a mutant henchman. Crash refused to work with Cortex and instead smashed Cortex's lab and defeated the mad doctor's evil schemes. Crash would be happy to spend his days basking in the sun but his danger-loving, fearless nature and a love of a good fight with a bad guy keep him busy. Crash is very emotional, quick to laugh and quick to cry. Crash rarely seeks out trouble but trouble always seems to come Crash's way.

As for Crash himself, well, it took expert cartoonists, and designers from ND and Universal months just to perfect him. His animations, his weight, his control in the air, his mannerisms, his look, and his idles are all 100% perfection.

Crash is back again, as expected, but this time he's fresh out of rehab. While the outdated, fingerless gloves have been replaced by equally outdated tribal tattoos, the obnoxiously extreme attitude is gone. Now he's a bluthering, googly-eyed idiot. I don't know when or why the change happened, but it's better than the popular goatee-of-rage that so many other platform giants are sporting these days.

But Crash's character design has gone from cool to goofy and now to the dreaded place of being dorky. Only minute changes have been made over the years – his eyes seem to bulge a little differently, his nose might be larger, and his hair looks like he got the Mohawk Special from Fantastic Sam's. These changes, no matter how subtle, have really hurt Crash's appearance as a leading game character. We live in a world where a plumber and a hedgehog are considered cool. There is no reason why a bandicoot shouldn't be given artwork that is worthy of the same praise and respect.

Sorry to say this without much of a softening up speech, but Crash Bandicoot is the most see-through, copycat mascot that ever existed, and he's once again ripped off a game concept from another mascot. He stole Sonic's hip, brash personality and Mario's ideas, and now, I'm coincidentally sad to say he doesn't even belong exclusively to the PlayStation or PS2.

The design of Crash is, as always, in top form, as the character retains his humorous edge complete with wacky, over-the-top animations, which are still welcomed.
  • Harris, Craig (October 10, 2007). "IGN: Crash of the Titans Review". IGN. Archived from the original on October 12, 2007. Retrieved February 3, 2009. Crash looks a little floofier and a lot edgier, gaining a spikier Mohawk and trading in his fingerless gloves for tribal ink all up and down his arms. He also now squawks incoherently, almost like the bird from Banjo Kazooie. With all the alterations, though, ultimately he's been changed for the better. He looks a little cooler and more appealing than his more "Japanese-inspired" edits over the years.

Oh Crash Bandicoot, you were never popular enough to hang around with the cool kids like Mario and Sonic, and yet you've still avoided that depressing mascot retirement home where the likes of Aero the Acrobat and Zero the Kamikaze Squirrel reside (look them up if you have no idea who I'm talking about).
  • Moriarty, Colin (2009-02-18). "Wednesday 10: Video Game Characters That Should Die". IGN. Archived from the original on February 21, 2009. Retrieved 2009-08-07. Killing Crash is actually a mercy killing, since the Bandicoot has fallen on extremely hard times. The unofficial mascot of Sony during its PSOne days, Crash tried to take platforming to a new level. Unfortunately, game after game that he starred in felt exactly the same with little innovation, forcing the character to pimp himself out to racing titles and even teaming up with his enemy, Neo Cortex. With no prospects on the horizon, and the time of mascot gaming far behind him, Crash has no reason to still be around. Put the poor bandicoot out of his misery, before he releases another party game.

  • Katayev, Arnold (October 28, 2007). "PS2 Game Reviews: Crash of the Titans". PSX Extreme. Archived from the original on October 24, 2008. Retrieved February 3, 2009. Character detail on Crash is very nice, but I'm not super happy with some of the artistic choices they've made for him. The tribal tattoos aim at the 'edgy' approach and try to snaz up Crash's appearance, but to me it just seems a little pretentious - Crash is better off without them. The mohawk patch he's sporting is far more defined than it ever has been, again, making Crash seem as if he's trying too hard to be cool. Furthermore, because Crash is now a puncher, his still-stance has him putting his dukes up like a boxer - it's just so out of character for the marsupial. So my word of advice to Sierra is to tone it down. Crash Bandicoot is a highly recognizable character who doesn't need a makeover of any kind - just look at Mario, Link and Sonic. [...] Crash especially sounds awful, largely because he doesn't actually speak - he just blabs annoying gibberish, which makes him sound like he's an infant.
