Gameplay
This game, like Crash Twinsanity, is a free-roaming game but has missions Crash has to complete in order to beat the game. It also has fifty optional missions.

Abilities
In this game, the players are able to store their favorite Titans to play whenever they like but can only store one titan at a time in Crash's pocket. Crash has a new dodge move and “counter” move which will inflict extra damage on his enemies. Crash can now dig underground as real-life bandicoots really do; this will allow for Crash to unlock bonus items. Crash can also climb vertical surfaces and jump side-to-side to connected areas and dodge hazards.

Multiplayer
Like Crash of the Titans, this game is 2 player. In the PS2 version, Carbon Crash takes the place of Coco because of problems with Coco for that console. Coco is playable and all the other versions after being defeated by Crash.

Story
The game begins where Crash is inside his house. Then when he talks to Coco who is next to an eye of the doominator where she is trying to make the eye into the ultimate TV. Crash is given a list of parts he has to find so Coco can successfully make the eye into a TV. After Crash finds the parts Coco turns it on to find a commercial for the NV, a device bluit by a man with a familar face. After watching it the bandicoots wanted some. Then a package comes in the mail that Crash retrieves. Crunch and Coco put them on and send each other text messages. Crash tries to put it on but the NV keeps shocking him every time he touches it even with a stick. Then suddenly N.Gin appears with his army of Ratincians who been abandoned by Cortex. After defeating N.Gin's army, Crash and Aku Aku decide to follow N.Gin to his observatory. They find N.Gin and Crash attempts to punch him in the throat. N.Gin who didn't want to be punched in the throat sent his Ratincians to take Crash outside and beat him up. Then after being defeated N.Gin is told to leave the island by Aku Aku. Then Aku Aku uses N.Gin's telescope to check on Crunch and Coco. Coco and Crunch are standing there still having the NVs on their heads then the NV shakes and takes over Coco's and Crunch's minds. Then Aku Aku and Crash hurries to save Coco and Crunch from the NVs. After saving Coco, they wacth a small video in the Doominator's eye which shows Cortex in his space station with Uka Uka and his old lab partner, N.Brio!
