Crash Bandicoot®
Gives Gamers Fantastic New Adventure in the
Latest Installment of
the Best-Selling Franchise
Sierra Entertainment, a division of Vivendi Games, is
unleashing Crash for the ultimate encounter against his
arch-nemeses in Crash of the Titans,
the latest installment of the best-selling Crash Bandicoot video game
franchise. Crash of the Titans is now available at retail
stores nationwide for the Wii™, Xbox 360® video game
and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation®2 computer
entertainment system, Nintendo DS™
system, PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) system,

In Crash of the Titans, Crash’s
arch nemeses, Neo and Nina Cortex, have mutated the creatures of Whumpa Island
into horrific abominations. Players must defeat the titanic monsters and put
an end to their evil scheme. For the first time ever in a Crash
game, our heroic bandicoot now has a powerful acrobatic fighting system and can
even “hijack” an enemy to use its immense powers against the other enemies.
“Having sold more than 40 million units worldwide,
Crash Bandicoot is one of the most successful video game franchises of all
time,” said Pascal Brochier, president, global retail for Vivendi Games.
“Crash fans and retailers have eagerly awaited Crash of the Titans,
the first multi-platform Crash game to be released since 2005’s
Crash Tag Team Racing.”
“Crash is a unique and immensely popular
character,” said Al Simone, senior vice president of Global Marketing,
Sierra Entertainment. “We’re thrilled to present an
exciting new Crash with all new abilities, who still retains the
daredevil attitude and striking sense of humor that has made him so popular over
the years.”
