Crash Bandicoot: Twinsanity
Posted: Thu Feb 24, 2005 6:03 pm
I decided to rent this game today as I stayed home sick with a raging ear infection. Now everybody who has a penis (no matter how small or large) has played Crash Bandicoot. Back in the day it was Crash vs. Sonic vs. Mario for the Playstation/Saturn/N64 market. Crash Bandicoot was a landmark in gaming. Five titles were released for the PSX (Crash Bash, CTR, Crash 1-3). Each title had major success.
Then something happened and control of Crash shifted from Naughty Dog to Traveler's Tales. I don't see what the big deal was, but from then on the gaming market pushed Crash into the sub-par regions of forgotten games.
I don't know why though. There have been 2 Crash games released for the GBA (3 including Nitro Kart). Each of these games had some of the best graphics that the GBA has ever seen and proved that Crash could work out just as well in 2D as he did in 3D.
A few Crash titles were released for the NextGen consoles (Nitro Kart and Wrath of Cortex). Neither were considered exceptional and weren't given the best of reviews.
After awhile, Crash has come back from the grave on the new console adventure: TwinSanity. Upon hearing of this title, I didn't think much. It sounded like the exact same concept that'd been used raw. Boy was I wrong.
Not only does Twinsanity bring Crash to a whole new level, but it completely pwnz every previous title that the bandicoot took part in.
At first you're blessed with some of the nicest graphics I've ever seen (even for the PS2). Next, when you gain control of Crash, you see that they've done something unbelievable. Crash now moves (most of the time) in a completely 3D environment (like Mario 64).
Cortex comes back for revenge. He stuns Crash's sister, Coco, and steals her clothes and hair :watiff:.
The game is just all around hilarious. Neo Cortex skips around like Coco trying to get Crash to follow. He might say something really gay like "ITS TRUE! BLONDS REALLY DO HAVE ALL THE FUN!" Then you meet up with all of your previously defeated foes in a nice reunional form.
This game is so original. Remember the levels where Crash was in a little ball and you have to navigate him through levels while rolling down slopes? One of the levels here features Crash and Cortex beating the hell out of each other as a ball and you roll them both down to the goal.
To conclude this ungodly long post (almost essay), Crash Twinsanity is a tragically overlooked title. If you have any respectability whatsoever, you'll rush to your nearest Wal-Mart and/or Rhino games and buy this very respectable title ASAP.
