Although the booooo-ahhhhhh! tiki mask effect is pretty slick.}}</ref> The sound quality of Aku Aku's voice in ''Crash Team Racing'' was praised by SolidSnake of PSX Extreme,<ref>{{cite web |author=SolidSnake |title=PlayStation Game Reviews: ''Crash Team Racing'' |url=http://www.psxextreme.com/ps1-reviews/9.html |publisher=[[PSX Extreme]] |date=November 5, 1999 |accessdate=June 3, 2009 |quote=When Aku-Aku speaks to you, the quality of speech is very very good, never any break up and the sound always stays crisp and clear.}}</ref> while Arnold Katayev, in his review of ''Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex'', negatively described Aku Aku's voice as "melodramatic".<ref>{{cite web |author=Arnold Katayev |title=PS2 Game Reviews: ''Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex'' |url=http://www.psxextreme.com/ps2-reviews/98.html |publisher=[[PSX Extreme]] |date=November 11, 2001 |accessdate=June 3, 2009 |quote=Although, at times it seems like Aku-Aku's voice-actor just doesn't sound right. It's rather melodramatic, if you will.}}</ref> Steven Rodriguez, in his [[Nintendo World Report]] review of ''Crash Nitro Kart'', described Aku Aku's voice when giving advice between races as "sexy" and cited it as the best part of the game's audio, but admitted that "even he gets rather annoying."<ref name="NWRNGC">{{cite web |url=http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/forums/?catid=7&threadid=7308 |title=''Crash Nitro Kart'' Review |accessdate=January 24, 2010 |author=Steven Rodriguez |date=December 14, 2003 |publisher=[[Nintendo World Report]] |quote=The best part about the game's audio is that sexy talking mask that gives you advice between races, but even he gets rather annoying.}}</ref> In his review of ''Crash of the Titans'', Brian Rowe of Game Revolution, while citing the ability to "slap Aku Akuβs face into the ground and ride it like a surfboard" as "harshly inconsiderate", considered it "payback for his gratingly poor impersonations of that other floating head of wisdom β [[Aqua Teen Hunger Force|Frylock]]."<ref>{{cite web |author=Brian Rowe |title=''Crash of the Titans'' review for the XBOX360 |url=http://www.gamerevolution.com/review/xbox360/crash_of_the_titans | publisher=[[Game Revolution]] |date=January 21, 2008 |accessdate=June 3, 2009 |quote=By the fourth level, Crash can slap Aku Akuβs face into the ground and ride it like a surfboard. It seemed harshly inconsiderate, but I considered it payback for his gratingly poor impersonations of that other floating head of wisdom β Frylock.}}</ref>
