Do one thing well’ feels like antiquated advice given that most modern games throw a zillion modes at you right from the start. But Crash Team Rumble genuinely offers just a single game type, at least for now. As we covered in our preview, you collect wumpa fruit, multiply its collection by triggering sets of ‘gems’ in the levels, and drop it off without being KO’d. First to 2,000 wins. But it does do this rather well.
The game moves and feels like a Crash Bandicoot platformer, which is great. You bounce off boxes, smash through them in a whirling dervish of brightly coloured fur, and collect wumpa fruit with the usual ‘chomp’ sound effect. But doing so in an arena turns the familiar into something new and pleasantly competitive.
