 Crash 's aesthetic design in the games developed by Radical Entertainment has received mixed reactions from reviewers . Brian Rowe of Game Revolution noted that Crash 's fingerless gloves have been replaced with " equally outdated " tribal tattoos and that Crash 's personality had been altered from his " obnoxiously extreme attitude " to that of a " bluthering , googly @-@ eyed idiot " . Although Rowe wondered when and why the change happened , he concluded that " it 's better than the popular goatee @-@ of @-@ rage that so many other platform giants are sporting these days " . Arnold Katayev of PSX Extreme , while admitting that the character detail on Crash was " pretty nice " , expressed unhappiness with the artistic choices made for the character ; he described Crash 's tribal tattoos as " a little pretentious " and noted that the increased definition on his mohawk patch made Crash come off as " trying too hard to be cool " . He added that Crash 's new fighting style begot a stance that consists of Crash " putting up his dukes like a boxer " , which he deemed " out of character " for Crash . Finally , while critiquing the voice acting in Crash of the Titans , he remarked that Crash " especially sounds awful , largely because he doesn 't actually speak - he just blabs annoying gibberish , which makes him sound like he 's an infant " . Matt Keller of PALGN also criticized Crash 's voice , which he said made Crash sound " like a confused baby " . Louis Bedigian of GameZone stated that " Crash 's character design has gone from cool to goofy and now to the dreaded place of being dorky " and said that the minute and gradual changes made to Crash 's design throughout the series " have really hurt Crash 's appearance as a leading game character " . GamePro named Crash 's new design as the second worst video game character makeover ever . Craig Harris of IGN was more positive on Crash 's new appearance and noted that Crash " looks a little floofier and a lot edgier , gaining a spikier Mohawk and trading in his fingerless gloves for tribal ink all up and down his arms " while comparing his incoherent squawking vocalizations to Kazooie of the Banjo @-@ Kazooie series . He concluded that " ultimately he 's been changed for the better . He looks a little cooler and more appealing than his more ' Japanese @-@ inspired ' edits over the years " .
