Win Crash Bandicoot 3

In Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped, released yesterday by Sony PlayStation, Crash returns in his latest adventure. The loveable bandicoot must travel unprotected through the hazardous space-time continuum to Ancient Egypt, Rome, medieval England and back before history began, when dinosaurs roamed the Earth. His aim is once again to save the world from the evil Dr Neo Cortex. Desperate for revenge after his last two attempts to destroy the world were thwarted by Crash, Cortex will stop at nothing in his bid for global destruction.

Players can witness Crash race across the Great Wall of China on the back of a tiger, use his trademark spin attack to create a deadly whirlwind, and dive underwater in search of the lost city of Atlantis. Crash and his sister Coco are unflinching in their determination to defeat their enemies Cortex, Uka Uka and the mad time travel scientist, N-Trophy.

Crash Bandicoot 3 is more interactive than the previous games, with greater path deviations, more 3D levels and new time trials where players can test their Crash management skills. And with the aid of more useful gadgets, Crash can now also fully explore previously unseen realms of the planet, where he can use his new "supermoves" and animation.
