"The Crash Bandicoot franchise has built a wide audience of loyal fans, appealing to both male and female gamers of all ages. The Crash series remains one of the most recognizable franchises in our industry and we're excited to make this year's family-friendly title appear at the top of every gamer's wish list this Christmas."

Key features in Crash Bandicoot: Mind over Mutant:

* Mutant in your Pocket! - Not only does Crash gain the ability to control his enemies when he jacks them – now he can store his favorite monsters in his pocket, upgrade them and utilize their powers when they are most advantageous.

* "Free-Romping" World Design - Wumpa Island becomes a "free-romping" environment, allowing players to travel and explore through intersecting worlds, with different game play options available depending on what creature you've brought along for the ride.

* Girl Power! - Your co-op partner is Crash's sister, Coco, playable for the first time in the cooperative mode. Not only does Coco make the game that much more inviting for girls to pick up and play, she also brings with her a new tactile "treasure hunt" ability

* New Abilities -
   o Roll and Counter Combat System - Crash will have a fun, agile dodge move and "counter" move which will inflict extra damage on his enemies.
   o Digging - Crash can now dig underground as real-life bandicoots really do; this will allow for Crash to unlock bonus items.
   o Climbing - Crash can climb vertical surfaces and jump side-to-side to connected areas and dodge hazards.
