Crash: Mind over Mutant is the fifteenth Crash Bandicoot video game. It is the sequel to Crash of the Titans. The game's story is about the arrival of a popular technological-device.[4][5] It has the power to put anyone under the control of Doctor Neo Cortex, the main antagonist of the game. Crash Bandicoot must free his friends with the help of Aku Aku, both are the protagonist of the game.

The game was given a mixed review from video game critics. The Wii and PlayStation 2 versions were given a more positive review. The Xbox 360 version was given an "ok" review. Much of the positive reviews were about the game's humorous (funny) cut scenes.[6][7] The Nintendo DS version was given negative reviews because of its dull and bad gameplay.[8]
