Crash Twinsanity

THE BAD:

SUMMARY:
Crash Bandicoot has been going on for many years now, and in all of the games Cortex has been the main rival. But this game is different, Cortex is now Crash's friend and together your aim is to stop the world being blown up.

Just like all Crash games you need to collect purple crystals as you progress through levels on different islands but Cortex also tags along behind you.

New moves are now in the game, when Cortex is behind you grabbing onto s purple crystal you can press X to swing him around to knock enemy's. Also, if you jump and press B you can throw Cortex across ledges and onto platforms which Crash can't get to.

One of the things I have found is that the cut-scenes are very poor and annoying. Normally you would see Cortex fly off somewhere which takes around 10 seconds to watch which is boring, and then you have to go find him but because he has gone so far it is impossible to remember.

The thing I dislike most about the game is the slow 3D enviroment's. In the first Crash games there would always be action, you would never get a chance to stop and think, while Crash Twinsanity is the opposite. Now you have to figure out riddles instead of running away from big dinosaurs which used to be the highlight of the old Crash games.

Verdict

Overall I have found this game did not live up to the expectations of a normal Crash game. There is some nice moves having Cortex with you but the game is slow and boring.
